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 colored 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. It is the birthplace of many of the (in)famous Wicksick Headhunters and even the ordinary Wiksik villagers actively pursue the ancient traditions of headhunting as a recreational pastime. Outsiders do not often receive a peaceful welcome in Wikisk and many would consider themselves fortunate to survive 24 hours within the general vicinity of the village.

The Skull Throne

The Skull Throne is the palace from which the Kingdom Of Skulls is administered. Peaceful outsiders, esepcially those formally representing their clans, are always welcome at the Skull Throne. Such visitors are cautioned that the people of the Kingdom have a low tolerance for arrogant or violent outsiders.

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. Spirit should not be exorcised from this hut.

Crystal Lake

One of Shartak's finest beauty spots, Crystal Lake is rightly famous for the magnificent sunsets that cause its silver waters to sparkle like a jewel. It is recommended that visitors make time to watch the numerous animal herds that frequent the western shores of the Lake at sunrise and sunset. Care should be taken when dealing with the indigenous rhino herds as they have been known to charge those who venture too close.

Babakueria (Wicksick Island)

A heavily-disputed territory, Babakueria arose from the waters off the shores of Terror Beach in early 2007. It is notable for the multilevel ruined tower, a unique feature on Shartak.

The Kingdom Of Skulls

The Kingdom Of Skulls is the extended territory surrounding Wiksik. It comprises the six provinces of the Bloody Headland, the Burning Fields, the Sybil's Grove, Tarak's Spit, Terror Beach and Wicksick Island. Within the boundaries of the Kingdom it is forbidden for an outsider to attack a native.


Groups Operating In Wiksik
