The Tundra Vastus is a giant tundra located in New Avalon. Discovered and named by Fubaka, it spans over 1000 blocks squared.
History
In the somewhat balmy December of 1873 2011, commissioner Biscuit_Junkie sent out his finest explorers to find natural snow in New Avalon, after a failed attempt to find it himself, even pleading on the board for help in finding such a place! He set only one restriction, saying, in his usual god-like tone:
"Thou shalt not travel further than three thousand cubits from the spawn area, for if thou dost, thou shalt surely die!"
~ Biscuit_Junkie, Dec, 5th, 2011 (May or may not be accurate)
And many surely did die in the attempt to find snow! (mostly due to completely unrelated Creeper-based deaths) By the end of it, Fubaka was the only one left of his crew when he found the tundra, after traveling for thousands of blocks! (Poor Jimmy!) The rest of the exploring parties probably got lost in some forests and turned into Stalfos Endermen or something.
Description
The tundra itself truly lives up to its name in terms of size, and it puts the Snowview Tundra in Pixellia to shame! One could easily get lost in it if they are not using their coordinate radar. When New Avalon actually started up, it was almost assured that the Tundra Vastus would serve as a prominent colonist area - settlers however have only recently been coming to the area.
Places to Visit
- Tundra Vastus is the home to the work in progress second Guild, Icepelt, being built by Apuppy120.
- If an explorer is brave enough, and has enough will power, travelling to the furthest reaches of the tundra will award them with hospitality at User:JakTheMad's fortress, built high in the mountains away from the slippery ice.
- Sometime in the future, User:JakTheMad hopes to transform part of the tundra into a amusement park and ice-golf course.
