As for the permafrost clue. There is gnome located underneath the water
in everfrost. It was once rumored that this was a necromancer city, but
to the best of my knowledge this is false. There are some skeletons
around him, but I really don't know what he says or what he drops if you
kill him.

from The Simpsons:

Mulder: There's been another unsubstantiated UFO sighting in the
heartland of America. We've got to get there right away.
Scully: Well, gee Mulder, there's also this report of a shipment of
drugs and illegal weapons coming into New Jersey tonight.
Mulder: I hardly thing the FBI's concerned with matters like that.
