==General Information==
[[Image:Katahdin_Tundra_(WikiVersion).png|thumb]]
The ''Katahdin Tundra'', an area existing only on the 1-alt server, is essentially Nightmist's version of Antarctica.  It is a large, continental island locked in perpetual winter courtesy of [[Pamola]]. The entry and exit point is via a [[Silversail]] cruiseliner which docks at the ''Loading Pier'' of the  ''Whaling Station''; the ''Whaling Station'' is quite spartan as far as towns go, as it does not have a bank. Only characters of level 29 or higher are able to board the ship from [[Silversail]] to the ''Katahdin Tundra''.

The ''Whaling Station'' is located at the northernmost edge of the island. The ''Whaling Station'' consists of only one street that runs from west to east, a ''Loading Pier'' runs north near the center of this singular street and another small path goes south from the centeer of the singular street. Along the south side of the singular street are buildings including a tavern and three shops.

From the ''Whaling Station'', there are three exit points leading onto a large ''Frozen Plain'' where most of the monsters of the ''Katahdin Tundra'' are found. Generally, the creatures dwelling on this ''Frozen Plain'' are arranged in such a way that it favours particular classes. The western side is better suited for [[Mage]]s with higher numbers of [[Ice Troll]]s; the central exit is better for [[Berserker]]s with its wide open expanse so being under the effects of [[Grog XD]] is not too detrimental; the eastern side is better for [[Cleric]]s and [[Paladin]]s, as there are a greater concentration of undead there. For more details, refer to the ''Monsters'' section found under the ''Population'' section of this page.

Furthermore, as the ''Frozen Plain'' is transversed southwestwards from the ''Whaling Station'', a massive ''Talaskan Forest'', with its twisting pathways, hold fearsome predators within its depths. ''Lake Talaska'' is located somewhat to the center of the forest, its frozen ice surface bearing treacherous thin ice. At five different locations are an opening in the surface ice allowing for safe passage underwater; going underwater without a [[Water Ring]] leads to a sure death by drowning.

Further southwestwards, through the ''Talaskan Forest'', is a smaller ''Frozen Plain'' which is shaped like a crescent as it skirts the southwest side of the forest. Near to the very southeastern end of this ''Frozen Plain'', also close to the southern exit of the ''Talaskan Forest'', is a ''Coastal Path'' snaking eastwards to meet another ''Frozen Plain''. This ''Frozen Plain'' spirals clockwise beginning slightly past the sixth hour and goes around to almost the sixth hour, giving the illusion of rising ground around a tumulus, and turns northward upon the top of the ''Alomkik Tumulus''.

===Taverns===
The ''Fisherman's Rest'' is located on the south side of the singular street of the ''Whaling Station'', the first building west from the center of the street. The pub charges 600 gold per refresh, which is easily compensated for when a [[Wolf's Blood]] is given to [[Angela]] as she gives 600 gold each time.

===Shops===
Three of the buildings lined at the south side of the ''Whaling Station'' are shops.

The [[Talaskan Outfitters]] sell clothing for [[Berserker]]s, it is the building farthest west.

The [[Katahdin Magic Shop|magic shop]] is the second building from the east; it is east beside the path that leads south to the large ''Frozen Plain''.

The [[Katahdin Supply Shop|supply shop]] is the easternmost building, selling necessities and tools.

===Other===
The ''Hunter's Cottage'' is located at the easternmost dead end of the ''Talaskan Forest''. To reach it, head into the ''Talaskan Forest'' from the large ''Frozen Plain'' at the easternmost entrance. A path goes straight south to the ''Hunter's Cottage''.

===NPCs===
[[Akkituyok]] minds the [[Talaskan Outfitters]].

An [[Alchemy Cauldron]], a [[Mortar]],  and a [[Retort]] is located in the [[Katahdin Magic Shop]].

An [[Anvil]] and a [[Wooden Bench]] is located in the [[Katahdin Supply Shop]].

[[Fisherman|Fishermen]] are encountered on the ''Whaling Station'' near the ''Loading Pier''.

A [[Town Crier]] marks the very center of the ''Whaling Station''.

===Monsters===
''Katahdin Tundra'' holds a diverse population of creatures with which all classes will find their own niche. A few creatures are particular to where they dwell, most others are widespread in the area.

[[Lingering Soul]]s, [[Skeletal Wight]]s, and [[Snow Wight]]s are commonly found on the southeastern region of the large ''Frozen Plain''; Only [[Skeletal Wight]]s and [[Snow Wight]]s are found in the other smaller ''Frozen Plains'' though these are intermingled with other predatory creatures.

[[Talaskan Digestor]]s are kill-to-pass and are encountered only in the ''Talaskan Forest''. The ferocious [[Wolverine]]s prefer the ''Talaskan Forest'' but they can and may chase anyone out of the forest.

[[Ice Troll]]s and [[Tundra Wolf|Tundra Wolves]] are found throughout the entire area except the vicinity of ''Lake Talaska'' though [[Tundra Wolf|Tundra Wolves]] may give chase onto the surface ice.

[[Polar Bear]]s are the rarer of the predatory creatures of ''Katahdin Tundra''. They can be found on the ''Frozen Plains'' and on the surface ice of ''Lake Talaska''.

[[Snow Fox|Snow Foxes]] are also prevalent in the area though a greater concentration of them are found near the ''Whaling Station'' and within the ''Talaskan Forest''. They are also found on the surface of ''Lake Talaska''.

[[Piranha]]s and [[Stone Fish]] lurk in the cold depths of ''Lake Talaska''. A lone [[Ice Wraith]] guards the ominous glow at the very bottom of ''Lake Talaska'' and is kill-to-pass; [[Ice Wraith]]s are also spawned by [[Pamola]]. [[Kitsune]]s can be found underwater but they accompany [[Lady Talaska]].

===Bosses===
[[Pamola]] flies in circles just above the ''Alomkik Tumulus''. Beware that each movement taken on the ''Alomkil Tumulus'' will consume a single stamina point and any character who is too exhausted to make any further action are left behind. Note that the ''Alomkik Tumulus'' is a location which when relogging will send the character back to the ''Fisherman's Rest'', the pub at the ''Whaling Station''.

[[Lady Talaska]] is the source of the ominous glow emanating from the bottom of ''Lake Talaska''. A lone [[Ice Wraith]] is kill-to-pass and must be slain before [[Lady Talaskan]] can be apprehended and challenged. A [[Water Ring]] is needed to survive the depths of ''Lake Talaska'' or else drowning is likely to follow.

The [[Talaskan Hunter]] is located in the ''Hunter's Cottage'' and only a single character may enter the cabin to challenge the [[Talaskan Hunter]].

The [[Wolf Lord]] is located roaming in circles within the ''Talaskan Forest''. Because of [[Talaskan Digestor]]s and various other predatory creatures inhabiting the forest, pursuing the [[Wolf Lord]] may be dangerous without a strategy.

==Hazards==
Thin ice on the surface of ''Lake Talaska'' may break and causing damage to the character who falls through; [[Mage#Protect|Protect]] will prevent any such occurrence.

Those who go swimming underwater of ''Lake Talaska'' withut a [[Water Ring]] will drown to their death.

[[Talaskan Digestor]]s are kill-to-pass and deal fairly high damage, making the dangerous even for a high level character.

Along the western side of the small ''Frozen Plain'' southwest of the ''Talaskan Forest'' are unstable ice shelves which will break and send anyone who falls through plummeting to their death unless they have [[Mage#Protect|Protect]] which will prevent any such occurrence.

There are no banks in this area, meaning that the only way to deposit any gold into the bank is to return to [[Silversail]] and finding a bank to deposit the gold.

==Notes==
This area appears only on the 1-alt server.

5,000 gold is needed to board the ship from and to [[Silversail]]. This means that 5,000 gold is needed to board the ship to the ''Katahdin Tundra'' from [[Silversail]] and another 5,000 gold is needed to board the ship from the ''Katahdin Tundra'' to [[Silversail]]. If a character localled at the ''Fisherman's Rest'' without any gold, they will have to somehow get 5,000 gold to board the ship to be able to return to [[Silversail]].
