==== Excavation is Complete ====
 
−
The King's excavation team has finally finished securing the hidden subterranean underpass making it permanently safe for human exploration! At the furthest North end of the tunnel, just beneath the mountain range, the excavation team stopped when they discovered something that they did not expect: an immensely powerful, magical protective barrier. The barrier (or "veil" as some of them described it) looked almost like a mirror but with a strange and compelling reflection that defied explanation.
 
  
−
==== The Cartographer's Theory ====
+
==== Return of the Frost King! ====
−
Word of this protective veil spread quickly throughout the Kingdom and it caught the attention of the Floating Islands Cartographer who has recently been all-consumed by studying their profound new discovery: the Legendary Looking Glass. The description of the veil seemed uncannily similar to the inscription on the back of the looking glass' Antique Frame. The Cartographer was convinced that what the excavators discovered beneath the mountain must be the specific spot in Gnawnia referenced in that description: "where the veil between perception and imagination is very thin".
+
Within the Great Winter Taiga to the North, the Frost King has once again constructed his massive Ice Fortress. Shielded by a dome of thick ice, the Frost King is projecting an icy spell to plummet the Kingdom into perpetual winter!
  
−
Upon sharing this revelation with the King, the King decided to test this bold and exciting theory by sending his most trusted subject: Larry, the Friendly Knight! The brave and noble Larry took the Legendary Looking Glass to this thin spot, opened his mind, and looked deeply into it and suddenly found himself on the other side of the reflection and inside the mythical Folklore Forest! What he discovered while there however, turned out to be very concerning...
+
Fortunately the arrival of the Festive Comet and Animated Snow provides the perfect means of amassing ammunition to shatter the shield: Hailstones! Visit the Great Winter Taiga to collect Golem Parts and Animated Snow. Construct magical Snow Golems to collect not only valuable hunting supplies but also Hailstones which can be fired at the fortress to shatter its shield, allowing hunters to confront the Frost King.
  
−
==== Larry's Terrifying Discovery ====
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"
−
Upon entering the Folklore Forest, Larry discovered very quickly that someone... or something had beat him to it! According to legend, the veil was supposed to have protected this land from the mouse invasion that has gripped all the other regions of Gnawnia. But to his dismay, this mystical land has now been overrun as well!

One extraordinarily powerful mouse discovered the way through the veil and has let in a number of nasty and destructive mice along with him! Larry learned that this mysterious mouse, known as the Mythweaver, has devised a plan that threatens the very history of the Kingdom of Gnawnia!

==== The Book of Lore ====
+
==== Uncork Festive Spirit ====
−
The Folklore Forest is home to one of the most powerful and influential objects in existence: the Book of Lore. The enchanted pages within this book contain the entire history of Gnawnia since the dawn of time but unlike a traditional history book, if the words on these pages were to be changed then history itself will change with them!
+
When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself.
  
−
The devious and dangerously clever Mythweaver learned of this powerful exploit and has made it his mission to rewrite history so that the mice become the celebrated heroes and the humans become the vanquished foes!

The Great Winter Hunt is Here!

10 December 2024

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Thwart the Frost King

Return of the Frost King!

Within the Great Winter Taiga to the North, the Frost King has once again constructed his massive Ice Fortress. Shielded by a dome of thick ice, the Frost King is projecting an icy spell to plummet the Kingdom into perpetual winter!

Fortunately the arrival of the Festive Comet and Animated Snow provides the perfect means of amassing ammunition to shatter the shield: Hailstones! Visit the Great Winter Taiga to collect Golem Parts and Animated Snow. Construct magical Snow Golems to collect not only valuable hunting supplies but also Hailstones which can be fired at the fortress to shatter its shield, allowing hunters to confront the Frost King.

To help keep tabs on when things are happening a new calendar has been added to the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 19. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.

New Year's Celebration

Keep an eye out for an update on December 30 at approximately 4:00pm UTC to start the New Year's celebration! There will be a new map to complete and new rewards to earn!
