==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
''{{date|14|May|2012}}''
+
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.
−
<blockquote>

−
==== Iceberg, Dead Ahead! ====
+
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>It is confirmed: This is a full-scale mousey invasion. A large iceberg, visible from the Slushy Shoreline, has appeared off the coast of Gnawnia. And it's moving closer.</p>
+
 
−
<p>The King is calling all capable hunters to head to the Slushy Shoreline and begin the upgrade of the S.S. Huntington II. If we're going to get through all of this ice, we'll need to reinforce the hull of the Huntington in order to break through to the Iceberg.</p>
+

<p>Head to the Slushy Shoreline and collect Interlocking Hull Fragments to upgrade the Huntington and gain access to the Iceberg! This will take a joint effort on the part of all available hunters, so do not delay!</p>

<blockquote>

==== The Shores of Gnawnia Breached! ====
 
−
<p>No longer just a rumour, the shores near Gnawnia have been breached by an icy invasion force. The King urges eligible hunters to rush to aid in pushing back these mice!</p>
 
−
<p>Hunters with the '''rank of Lord/Lady''' who are brave enough to fight on this new front should visit the Cartographer in the Harbour. There, hunters may obtain an official document to prove their worth against these icy foes, which licenses them to join the effort in pushing back the invaders.</p>
 
−
<p>The King fears this is only a small taste of what is to come. All hunters are urged to be ready and armed to face an even greater incoming threat...</p>
 
−
==== Re-Supply and Demand ====
 
−
<p><b>War Supplies</b></p>
 
−
<p>These supplies are carried by the less-common mice invading the chilly shores of Gnawnia. The mice have raided the King's private hunting supply, including some of his SUPER|brie+ and King's Credits, and are using these supplies against the hunters on the shores.</p>
 
−
<p>This extra loot will only be around for a week, so catch as many of these mice as you can!</p>
 
−
<p><b>War Scraps</b></p>
 
−
<p>In light of the new invasion force, the King has begun construction of a new shop to arm hunters against this icy front. The shop will be stocked with supplies that will aid hunters in preparing for this assault and many of its items will be exchangeable for the War Scraps taken off the mice attacking the castle walls.</p>
