'''St. Martial''' is one of the city zones in City of Villains.
== History ==
(Copied from [[Strategy_Guides|City of Villains Prima Offical Game Guide]])
St. Martial was once little more than a semicircle of rock in the Atlantic. Birds and sea turtles called it home, and
pirates often collected eggs and meat here, but otherwise it was uninhabited and rarely even charted. In the mid-1970s, everything changed when Manuel Marcone, the [[Family]]’s “Captain” in the [[Rogue Isles]], discovered it.
Manuel made fortunes in the wake of [[Arachnos]]’s takeover and lax drug laws. Some of that money he
invested in the [[Cage Consortium]] on [[Sharkhead Isle]]. The success of Las Vegas for the "old mafia” convinced him
a similar resort town in the Rogue Isles would be even more lucrative. After all, the usual U.S. laws against
gambling and other vices were much more... malleable... under [[Lord Recluse]].
So Manuel drew up a plan, presented it to [[Sebastian Frost]] of the Family, and won approval to create a new
Las Vegas–style resort island in the Atlantic. The lax laws of Arachnos and the lack of any Coast Guard to police
drug shipments quickly paid off the substantial costs of construction. High security for VIPs who turned a blind
eye to anything that didn’t directly harm the business of St. Martial sealed the deal. The resort was a success.
But still it needed something. It needed talent. Enter Herman Wietzel.
Herman was a singer. He wasn’t a particularly bad singer—he’d made it past the first round of several
competitions. But he wasn’t great, and he really wanted to be. After a few more middling competitions, on a
dark night in Vegas in the late ‘70s, Herman made a dark pact.
The next day, Herman Wietzel was gone. In his place was [[Johnny Sonata|Johnny “the Pipes” Sonata]].
Johnny Sonata was an overnight star. He played every casino in Vegas, rising straight to the top in just a few
years. Fame, women, and more money than he could count in a lifetime were his.
But dark pacts have a price, and Johnny’s day of reckoning was drawing near. By the 1980s, he realized he
had but a decade left to live. He started researching the infernal creatures who had given him his powers. He
spoke with diabolists, tortured mages, and bought or stole books from a dozen private libraries. Finally, Sonata
came up with a plan.
The devils who had claim to Johnny’s soul couldn’t cross certain protective wards. But Pipes couldn’t live in
a small pentagram or other protective circle forever, of course, so he figured out a way to construct a ward
around an entire island.
St. Martial was a perfect choice. It had people of questionable morals to help him out and a fantastic
showroom to perform in. Johnny made inquiries with the St. Martial Family and found they were more than
happy to accommodate him. They’d hire (or force) someone to build demonic wards around the center of the
island in exchange for a lifetime commitment.
Johnny agreed, and a year later—one night before his soul was to be forfeited to Hell—the wards were completed.
Johnny now performs nightly at the [[Golden Giza]], a massive golden pyramid smack in the center of the island. St.
Martial got the kick in the pants it needed to be wildly successful, and Johnny got to live.
The [[Wailers|demonic legions]] have been fairly lax so far—a decade is but a moment to them—but they have finally
decided to collect Johnny’s debt. They can be found lurking in the dark alleys of the outer rim, terrorizing
mortals or converting them into demonic servants who can ignore the barriers. The Family and Arachnos have
increased patrols to halt the diabolic incursions, but they are merely battling the symptoms rather than the
disease.


St. Martial is one of the city zones in City of Villains.

Overview

St. Martial is one of the city zones in City of Villains.

History

(Copied from City of Villains Prima Offical Game Guide)

St. Martial was once little more than a semicircle of rock in the Atlantic. Birds and sea turtles called it home, and pirates often collected eggs and meat here, but otherwise it was uninhabited and rarely even charted. In the mid-1970s, everything changed when Manuel Marcone, the Family’s “Captain” in the Rogue Isles, discovered it.

Manuel made fortunes in the wake of Arachnos’s takeover and lax drug laws. Some of that money he invested in the Cage Consortium on Sharkhead Isle. The success of Las Vegas for the "old mafia” convinced him a similar resort town in the Rogue Isles would be even more lucrative. After all, the usual U.S. laws against gambling and other vices were much more... malleable... under Lord Recluse.

So Manuel drew up a plan, presented it to Sebastian Frost of the Family, and won approval to create a new Las Vegas–style resort island in the Atlantic. The lax laws of Arachnos and the lack of any Coast Guard to police drug shipments quickly paid off the substantial costs of construction. High security for VIPs who turned a blind eye to anything that didn’t directly harm the business of St. Martial sealed the deal. The resort was a success. But still it needed something. It needed talent. Enter Herman Wietzel.

Herman was a singer. He wasn’t a particularly bad singer—he’d made it past the first round of several competitions. But he wasn’t great, and he really wanted to be. After a few more middling competitions, on a dark night in Vegas in the late ‘70s, Herman made a dark pact.

The next day, Herman Wietzel was gone. In his place was Johnny “the Pipes” Sonata.

Johnny Sonata was an overnight star. He played every casino in Vegas, rising straight to the top in just a few years. Fame, women, and more money than he could count in a lifetime were his.

But dark pacts have a price, and Johnny’s day of reckoning was drawing near. By the 1980s, he realized he had but a decade left to live. He started researching the infernal creatures who had given him his powers. He spoke with diabolists, tortured mages, and bought or stole books from a dozen private libraries. Finally, Sonata came up with a plan.

Exploration Badges

Badge
Deuces Wild (-3325.5, -29.0, -434.5)[Copy]

Twos are wild, but not as wild as you!

Badge
Crimelord / Paroled (-895.0, 9.2, -1496.0)[Copy]

The weeds of crime bear bitter fruit.

Most of Paragon City agrees that you've paid your debt to society. Most, but not all.

Badge
Stonekeeper (-2566.0, 119.5, 3000.5)[Copy]

What strange purpose do these glyphs serve?

Badge
Camel Snot (-1885.0, 595.5, 2047.5)[Copy]

You've finally done it, you've mastered the art of mixing the elusive 'Camel Snot'

Badge
Thrill Seeker (multiple locations)

You're always looking for new forms of entertainment, and it's said that the Mission Architect technology is entertainment in its purest form.

Badge
Dead Man's Tree (1670.5, 121.3, -2229.0)[Copy]

This dead tree within St. Martial is said to be haunted by the ghost of a man who tried to chop it down. People say that if you look closely, you can see glimpses of the man's skeleton, waiting to be released from his torture...

Badge
Slumlord / Social Worker (-202.5, -74.5, -852.5)[Copy]

These slums are known to house people who have lost everything at the Golden Giza. These wanderers have become large enough in numbers to form their own community.

Badge
Infamous Rubble (-4851.0, 152.4, 1868.0)[Copy]

This pile of rubble used to be one of the largest skyscrapers within St. Martial. When the Wailers appeared, a huge battle broke out among Wailers, Arachnos and the Family, which led to the utter destruction of this building and the spread of Wailers into St. Martial.

Badge
Showstopper (-2198.5, 15.5, -1953.0)[Copy]

Hundreds of spectators have stood in this spot, transfixed by the eclectic performances of the Carnival of Shadows. Many of them are never seen again; some speculate that they've joined the troupe, while others fear they met more unpleasant fates.

Plaques

Badge

Know your friend—but know your rivals even better.

Arachnos is more likely to pound you into dust than let you near one of their fliers. And your license is no good in Paragon City, it seems.

Smuggler / Gunrunner (requires rogue/villain)

You spend your free time smuggling in illicit black market goods earning you the Smuggler Day Job. Logging out near a ferry will earn you a random enhancement, upon each mission completion, for a short time.

You've scored the biggest coup of all; smuggling directly into Paragon City. Unfortunately, it's a long round-trip.
