Arctic

==Description==
The Arctic is a region on Olympus but also a general term for the Arctic Biomes found in Olympus, Styx and Prometheus. The Arctic Biome features 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. In addition, there are a number of predatory Fauna that are perfectly suited to survival in the snow and ice. These include Snow Wolves, Snow Leopards, Arctic Scorpions, and Polar Bears.
That said, the Arctic biome 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 Bears and Mammoths potentially drop Raw Prime Meat, which can be a boon for prospectors still levelling up. Finally, a number of rare Resources can be found in the Arctic, like Mammoth Tusks.
==Gameplay==
Prospectors venturing into the Arctic 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 Flatbread or Berry Jam will make an Arctic expedition much easier. Any permanent settlement should be well heated: the Fireplace and Potbelly Stove are exceptional source of warmth inside structures.
