| The Festive Comet brought quite a bit more snow than expected this year! Strangely, all of that snow has formed quite a few different hills and slopes, perfect for tobogganing!
Come grab a toboggan and join the races to earn unique holiday rewards and earn the coveted Toboggan Championship Trophy. | |

Hunting tips by Larry
The Bazaar is a noisy place full of merchants selling all sorts of whacky wares!
If you've come from the Furoma region, be sure to visit the Cartographer here. Cartographers are experts in repairing damaged maps which will in turn open new hunting grounds!
The Bazaar General Store is stocked with some of the strangest items found from around the world. You may just find these items useful if you plan on heading back to Furoma.
Beware of the Burglar mice. They run rampant here at the Bazaar and never hesitate to steal your gold!
