Notes:

  • The above is a territory map, not a map of jungle density (which constantly changes). Therefore, the jungle and village squares will very likely be coloured differently in-game than they are here. Squares within the village will be displayed as "Wiksik" on the game map, while jungle squares will be displayed as "Jungle".
  • The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.

A Rough Guide To Wiksik

Traditionally Wiksik has been the most warlike of the three native villages on Shartak. The ordinary Wiksik villagers actively pursue the ancient traditions of head-hunting as a recreational pastime and it is also the birthplace of many of the (in)famous WickSick Headhunters. Outsiders did not often receive a peaceful welcome in Wiksik and many would consider themselves fortunate to survive 24 hours within the general vicinity of the village. Wiksik has been the site of many wars over the years, and is usually a turbulent place to live or visit.

Crater

The Crater is where a meteor struck the Skull Throne of Wiksik, creating a massive hole in the ground and demolishing the throne. One can go down this hole and find a hot springs, and a caved in part of the tunnel system.

The Spirit Hut

Protected by The Necromancer's Guild, this hut on the southern edge of Wiksik is a haven for spirits haunting the village. Spirits are encouraged to congregate here and share their knowledge of the afterlife. Spirits should not be exorcised from this hut. It was made official with its own pretty icon by Simon in April 2009. The spirit hut is currently open for business.

Wicksick Isle

A heavily-disputed territory, Wicksick Island (AKA Midway Island, Babakueria) lies due south of Wiksik. It arose from the waters off the shores of Terror Beach in early 2007. It is notable for its multilevel ruined tower, a unique feature on Shartak. There is currently a small orchard on the Isle planted by Mr. Tomas.
