[AbanShakehandles]

I am AbanShakehandles, once of the underworld. By Gabe the Bloat of Bile, I bind myself to this post.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This game tickles me endlessly

Anyone able to help me understand what this thing is, and how it got in the middle of nowhere on the southern glacier?

Stating this with as few spoilers as I could, it states that a "clown" was released from the Underworld. There's more to it, but that's in major spoiler territory. It was spawned there during world generation before history actually starts, if my knowledge is correct.

Enough said.

If I were interested in uncovering more details on my own, how would that best be carried out?
 -Send an adventurer?
 -Send a raiding party?
 -Settle a new fort nearby?

I advise you first build a nearby Fort; just a few years to establish farming & basic defenses.  Retire the Fort and start an Adventurer, who you use to clear out all hostiles around the artifact.  Go back to your Fort and send a raiding party, which should now face significantly lower resistance when recovering the artifact.  Lastly, build a pedestal and proudly display your new treasure somewhere.

start an Adventurer, who you use to clear out all hostiles around the artifact.

Just keep in mind that the hostiles are incredibly strong and can kill unprepared adventurers in mere seconds. I've cheated to raise all skills and attributes of my adventurer to the maximum, and that wasn't enough to save him from death at the hands of these hostiles.

Although spoilery, "vaults?" from the hall of legends is an excellent read that explores this phenomenon. But do be aware of spoilers in it.
