CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
<blockquote>
 
==== The Muridae Market Needs Help! ====
 
<p>The Muridae Market, located in the Sandtail Desert, has been left in a state of disrepair after recent attacks by the Marching Flame! The market is calling out for the help of hunters who have helped push the Marching Flame back by capturing a Warmonger Mouse to aid in the repair of the market. If you have captured a Warmonger Mouse, you'll now be able to travel to the Muridae Market where you can help in the rebuilding process.</p>
 
  
==== Collecting Construction Materials ====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
<p>To help rebuild the various shops in the Muridae Market, you'll first need to find suitable construction materials! Although the market has ordered a variety of building materials, the shipments are constantly being ransacked by mice! You'll need to hunt mice at the Muridae Market to recover Limestone Bricks, Coconut Timber and Shards of Glass that you will then be able to use to rebuild the Cheese Shoppe, General Store, Trapsmith, Charm Shoppe and Cartographer. Not only will each shop owner give you a small reward for your help, but you'll also be able to purchase new items from each shop you help rebuild! New crafting items, traps and charms await!</p>
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
==== Rebuilding the Cheese Shoppe ====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
<p>The Cheese Shop appears to be the least damaged of the shops. Rebuilding it will earn you a cheese reward and unlock the ability to purchase most of the basic types of cheese for a reasonable price, making restocking your bait a little more convenient while hunting in the remote desert.</p>
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
==== Rebuilding the General Store ====
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
<p>Rebuilding the General Store will prove extremely helpful while rebuilding other shops in the market. At the General Store you'll be able to trade any excess building materials you have for other types of building materials you need. It's also the only place you'll find Molten Glass, which is needed to rebuild some of the more damaged shops in the market.</p>
 
  
==== Rebuilding the Trapsmith ====
+
----
<p>The Muridae Trapsmith offers some extremely powerful traps that will be very useful if you're looking to upgrade your trap to better hunt in the mice in the market. Once you have rebuilt the Trapsmith you'll be able to purchase the Sandtail Sentinel and the Dimensional Chest Trap, both of which have impressive power and luck stats! These traps are powered by Flameshards, so make sure you have some handy before visiting the shop to purchase a trap!</p>
 
  
==== Rebuilding the Charm Shoppe ====
+
</blockquote> -->
<p>Rebuilding the Charm Shoppe will allow you to purchase a wide variety of interesting charms that can help you better hunt in both the Muridae Market, as well as help you fight off future Marching Flame attacks in the Fiery Warpath. One charm of particular interest is the Artisan Charm, which will attract a couple of elusive mice that drop a particularly rare building material: Papyrus. Finding a few pieces of Papyrus is needed in order to rebuild the Cartographer.</p>

''{{date|9|December|2025}}''
  
==== Rebuilding the Cartographer ====
+
'''Start sending golems to collect loot'''
<p>The Cartographer at the Muridae Market is responsible for creating keys used to access the enchanted garden that sits within the massive dome atop the market. The garden was severely damaged during the attacks, causing the magical desert flowers within the garden to be be wiped out in a wall of flame. The garden's keepers are hard at work re-growing these flowers, but it is a slow and tedious process that will no doubt take a considerable amount of time.</p>
 
  
<p style="font-color: red;">Until the gardeners have finished their work, no hunters will be permitted into the Living Garden; however, you may purchase a key to be ready for when the garden opens.</p>

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again
  
==== Hints and Tips for Rebuilding ====
+
<blockquote>
  
* You can rebuild the shops in any order you wish. However, keep in mind that you'll need to rebuild the General Store to be able to purchase Molten Glass, which is used to rebuild some of the more damaged shops.
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
* If you find yourself having a large excess of a particular building material you can visit the General Store to trade it for other building materials.
+
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
* Rebuilding the Trapsmith will prove extremely useful if you're looking for a more powerful trap to hunt mice at the market.
 
* To find Papyrus and rebuild the Cartographer, you'll need to purchase Artisan Charms after rebuilding the Charm Shoppe.
 
* If you're unsure of which shop to rebuild next, you may visit them to see a preview of their goods.
 
  
==== King's Supply Kits and Gift Baskets ====
+
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
<p>To help rebuild the city the King has assembled a few baskets and supply kits to aid hunters who are helping to rebuild the Muridae Market. These kits contain SUPER|brie+ and provide the Lucky Golden Shield. As a small bonus, the King has also included a small amount of construction materials to lend a hand with rebuilding the city. The Mega Supply Kit also has a few Artisan Charms to help attract a greater variety of mice!</p>

====Where can I find Undead Emmental Potions?====
+
Conjures 1 Throwable Snowball each and every hunt!
  
<p>These strange potions can be found as loot by hunting Zombie and Ravenous Zombie mice within the Mousoleum and Catacombs. These potions carry with them a curse which prevent hunters from holding too many at once. Additionally, hunters are unable to find potions when they have large amounts of the cheese they produce. Make sure to use up any Undead Emmental Cheese you have before looking for more potions.</p>
+
Double loot drops of a wide variety of festive-themed items at the Taiga!</div>
  
====What can I do with Undead Emmental Cheese?====

You can obtain Festive Spirit by hunting with standard cheese, completing Naughty Maps, opening doors on your Advent Calendar, and by purchasing it from the Premium Shop.
  
<p>This bone-chilling bait attracts a variety of undead mice in both the Mousoleum and Catacombs, including horrific Zombot Unipire Mice! Not only does capturing undead mice bring with it some of the highest rewards in the Kingdom, but the King is offering a special reward for each capture of a Zombot Unipire Mouse...</p>

====What's a Zombie Survival Kit?====
 
  
<p>The King takes the threat of a zombie invasion seriously and as such wants his hunters to be as prepared as possible. Inside this kit you'll find 150 SUPER|brie+, 5 Radioactive Blue Potions as well as 25 Undead Emmental Cheese. The kit provides the Lucky Golden Shield for one month when opened and can be sent to friends.</p>

====How can I start hunting?====
+
'''Festive Spirit itself'''</div>
  
<p>If you have not already, hunt for zombies in the Mousoleum or Catacombs to find Undead Emmental Potions. Once you've found a few, use them to create Undead Emmental Cheese and continue hunting in the Mousoleum or Catacombs. Good luck!</p>
+
==== New Festive Rewards ====
 +
Each time you claim a golem reward, you'll progress a reward track to earn bonus rewards including two new pieces of Limited Edition hunting equipment.
