'''Faultline''' is a Trial zone in CoH. A hero needs to be at least level 14 to enter.  It was originally known as Overbrook, before the villain [[Faultline (Archvillain)|Faultline]] destroyed it with his earthquake devices.
The '''Overbrook''' Dam was an amazing step forward for [[Paragon City]], and it began a new area of prosperity. When the Arch-villain [[Faultline (Archvillain)|Faultline]] held Overbrook ransom with his earthquake device, not many took him seriously. A group of fledgling superheroes did attempt to stop him but failed, and the master of tectonics set off his device, wiping out Overbrook. Faultline disappeared and has not been seen since. The ruins of Overbrook adopted his name, and many villains began to inhabit the area.


This zone is expected to have many changes coming with [[Issue 8]].
Faultline officials recently provided funding for reconstruction and work was underway in the first neighborhood, when major disaster struck. Due to strange seismic activity on the moon, tidal anomalies caused the Overbrook Dam to rupture flooding the zone. Additional crews have been called in to assess the Dam and shore up the rest of the zone, however, they are continually thwarted by the recent arrival of new villain groups to the area and one group, in particular, that no one expected: [[Arachnos]]. It appears Arachnos has been poking around supergroup base wreckage in Faultline for some time, searching for technology that will further [[Lord Recluse]]’s nefarious plans. Paragon Officials have called in small detachments of the [[Paragon Police Department]] and [[Freedom Corps]], but are also asking heroes to come forward and protect the new city.

Hero City Zone (15-25)

Overview

The Overbrook Dam was an amazing step forward for Paragon City, and it began a new area of prosperity. When the Arch-villain Faultline held Overbrook ransom with his earthquake device, not many took him seriously. A group of fledgling superheroes did attempt to stop him but failed, and the master of tectonics set off his device, wiping out Overbrook. Faultline disappeared and has not been seen since. The ruins of Overbrook adopted his name, and many villains began to inhabit the area.

Faultline officials recently provided funding for reconstruction and work was underway in the first neighborhood, when major disaster struck. Due to strange seismic activity on the moon, tidal anomalies caused the Overbrook Dam to rupture flooding the zone. Additional crews have been called in to assess the Dam and shore up the rest of the zone, however, they are continually thwarted by the recent arrival of new villain groups to the area and one group, in particular, that no one expected: Arachnos. It appears Arachnos has been poking around supergroup base wreckage in Faultline for some time, searching for technology that will further Lord Recluse’s nefarious plans. Paragon Officials have called in small detachments of the Paragon Police Department and Freedom Corps, but are also asking heroes to come forward and protect the new city.
