The contacts and arcs available within the Flashback System will vary depending on a player's alignment and level. Vigilantes will have access to hero arcs, while rogues will have access to villain arcs.

There are no neighborhoods explicitly marked on the Ouroboros map. However, the following music will play in the background while in the zone.

Exploration Badges

Welcome to Ouroboros. You have a feeling as if there is a lot of work that needs to be done.

Day Jobs

Badge

You have spent a great deal of time working with the agents of Ouroboros earning you the Chronologist Day Job. Logging out in Ouroboros will earn you a bonus enhancement recipe, when you log back in, each time you complete a mission for a short time.

The entire zone is a Chronologist day job location.

Trivia

  • An Ouroboros is the symbol of the dragon eating its own tail, which has existed for centuries throughout Norse, Greek, African, Hindu, and many other systems of mythology. It is also a central image throughout the novel "The Worm Ouroboros" by E.R. Eddison.
  • Flower Knight and an Ouroboros NPC can be found talking to each other in this zone. One such interchange includes the zone's pronunciation: "It's pronounced or-oh-boar-os."
  • Mender Lazarus tells players that time travel is limited to 5730 years forward or backward, calling it the Carbon Law. This is probably a reference to the half-life of wikipedia:Carbon-14, which is also 5730 years (±40).

Notes

  • This zone was added to the game for Heroes and Villains in Issue 11.
  • There used to be two separate Ouroboros zones, one for Heroes and one for Villains. They were merged into one co-operative zone in Issue 25.
