Overview

Nerva Archipelago is one of the city zones in City of Villains. One of the biggest zones villainside, Nerva Archipelago consists of a few large neighborhoods placed far apart. Crimson Cove is a series of smaller islands within the archipelago at the south end of the zone. Agincourt in the center-east boasts a large Longbow invasion force; Primeva to the northeast of Agincourt is a large, contested island, where many different enemy factions battle for control. Further northeast is Thorn Isle, where the Thorn Tree grows, Circle of Thorns flock, and magic gathers in strange ways.

The trainer for Nerva Archipelago is Arbiter Frederick, and the Brokers are both in Crimson Cove, Stella the Mouth in the southwest and Winston the Gent in the northeast.

History

(Copied from City of Villains Prima Offical Game Guide)

Those of an occult nature claim that Nerva Archipelago was a long-term stopover for the Mu in ages past. They built numerous structures on the island called Primeva to aid them in their magical rituals, then set out to destroy the Oranbegans in what is now Paragon City. Things didn’t go exactly as planned, and the Mu were wiped out by their foes’ demonic hordes.

With the Mu outpost destroyed, their structures and portals fell into disrepair and were eventually covered over by the verdant forest, where they have lain undisturbed for thousands of years. One or two of the old ruins were found by pirates, but the inhospitable terrain and the vicious things rumored to lurk within kept most at bay.

The outer islands have seen more habitation, and eventually they grew into Crimson Cove, a “protectorate” on the outskirts of U.S. territorial waters. The town is heavily occupied by Heroes and Project Longbow, but since it is outside the Rogue Isles, Lord Recluse and his agents have quietly made it known that independent operators who ply their trade there will be looked on favorably.
