Description[]

A region of Olympus and the home of the fearsome Polar Bear, unprepared prospectors beware. A desolate, frigid landscape that presents a host of dangerous conditions to adventuring prospectors. Exposure is an almost constant worry, especially without suitable thermal protection from Fur Armor or Polar Bear Armor.

That said, the Southern Glacier is not without its rewards. Ice is abundant and can help prospectors slow the decay of their Food when utilized in an Ice Box. Polar Bear reward adept hunters with their Hide, allowing the creation of Polar Bear Armor.

Gameplay[]

Prospectors venturing onto the Glacier should be well-provisioned in advance. While Stone is plentiful, the only source of Wood are the driftwood pieces scattered around the snow and ice. Fiber is non-existent, and seasoned prospectors have been known to carry stacks of Rope, which they can destroy for fiber. There is usually plenty of Food to be had, if one is adept at Hunting, but additional types of food like Beer and Berry Jam will make an expedition much easier. Any permanent settlement should be well heated: the Fireplace and Potbelly Stove are exceptional sources of warmth inside structures.
