Note: As this hunting area has come along recently, any advice to hunters beyond the rank of Lord/Lady is provided in Grey. 
-
Note: The objective in the first few runs it to accumulate Cold Fusion loot (max of 7 per run).  This loot is dropped by each of the Generals at the end of each of the four zones.  Capturing the Frostwing Commander mouseIcewing's Lair completes the run and return's you to the Slushy Shoreline.  If you complete the run before one or more of the bonus chests are smashed by the advancing Iceberg then there is an additional +1 Cold Fusion in each chest].
