BackStory & introduction

While not always the safest and easiest thing to do, most of the Arctic Circle had been explored and mapped years ago.


Except for one island... Tukisinangitok (Inuit for "mystery"). Locals and explorers alike couldn't explain why, but the island of Tukisinangitok gives a certain eeriness to every boat that passes by. Mysterious noises of animals that no local has heard of before can be heard echoing from the island.

The island you clicked on is Tukisinanngitok

Finally, intrepid explorer Dr. Everett Erie (E.Erie), took it upon himself to brave the island alone to truly find out what was happening on this island. Dr. Erie never returned. About a year after his disappearance locals found a bottle frozen in the ice with one pieces of paper inside:


A note from Dr. Erie, and on the backside, a map of the island:

Using some advanced restoring technology, the note and map were fully cleaned up.


"I am safe. This island is not like anything I have seen before. The island is big in size, but small in walking trails. Most of the island seems to be covered in a thick ice but wider trails makes it easy to navigate. Deeper into the island are hidden inlets of animal coves of beautiful whales and walruses. Interestingly enough, there is a shipwreck deep in the middle of the island. It is unclear how it got here but it is clear it has been here a while. It is uninhabited so I am currently storing my belongings and findings there. I fear there is more out there so I must go exploring deeper. Send more brave explorers soon!

P.S. There is a large obelisk here. I know very little about it at this time.

Cheers!

Dr. E.Erie"

With the island now open, guests and explorers alike flock to Tukisinangitok to see this mysterious arctic land for themselves and truly discover how the ship got where it did and who is making those weird noises...

The Obelisk of Time

At the crossroads of multiple ice caverns is a large Obelisk. The structure sticks up like a lightning rod and seems to be not of this world. Wherever it came from, it must have been from a faraway land, for the writing is nothing like we've ever seen before.

Its almost like all of these canyons were made from the impact of the device onto the surface from space. One other odd thing to note, it occasionally glows light-blue and makes strange noises, almost like it's trying to say something, but it's too garbled to understand. Maybe it's another language? Maybe it's just damaged. Maybe the secrets lie in the caverns beyond?
