Historical Plaques

• One Swashbuckler Badge monument.

Stores

• Hero Merchant - He will sell temporary powers depending upon how much heroes control the zone.
• Villain Merchant - She will sell temporary powers depending upon how much villains control the zone.

Transfer Points

• For heroes, there is a gate to Steel Canyon.
• For villains, there is a helicopter to Sharkhead Isle.

Villain Groups

• Clockwork

For some reason, the Clockwork spawn in this zone, all of them being level 20. As your character is automatically bumped to level 30 as you enter the zone, they will be grey to any player and there is simply no reason to fight them.
Lieutenants and minions can be found here, in the zone between the neighborhoods of Fossburg and Buildville. There is a crossroad where you can find a destroyed Clockwork Paladin.

• Arachnos

Arachnos is present in great number in this zone. The Villain base has a good number of them for obvious reasons, and great numbers of them will fight in the battle points against the forces of Longbow (more often than not, they lose, unless player villains help them). Small groups or lone individuals can be found in Fossburg as well. Crab Spiders, Drones, Arachnobots, Blood Widows, Fortunatas and Tarantulas spawn in this zone, in Minion, Lieutenant and Boss forms. This includes the elusive Toxic Tarantulas, though they aren't a common sight in the zone.

Arachnos forces in this zones will treat Villain player characters as allies.

• Longbow

The heroic organization Longbow can be seen all over the zone, in the battle points and they can be easily found in Buildville and Talos Park. Longbow will attack any villain group (or villain player) as soon as they enter their aggro range. Foot soldiers are present, as well as special troops such as Spec Ops, Eagles, Nullifiers, flying Chasers and no small number of Wardens.

As usual, Longbow forces will treat Hero player characters as allies.

• Tsoo

The Tsoo in this zone are dangerous. Not only they have Minions (Blue Ink Men), Lieutenants (Ancestor Spirits and Sorcerers) and many kinds of Bosses here, but also these enemies often have skills and attacks their City of Heroes counterparts of the same level in zones such as Talos Island or Independence Port don't have. Be careful if you engage them as a Hero.
The Tsoo usually stick to the Villain controled area, near the Villains base, though they can be found in most of the Fossburg neighborhood.
This is the only place in all of City of Heroes where a hero can fight Tsoo Blue Ink Men, necessary for a gladiator badge, though they can be found in safeguard and normal missions.

• Warriors

This is an excellent zone for a Villain player to hunt for the Legionnarie badge (if you are good at PvP, that is), as great numbers of Boss class Warriors can be found here, just wandering around or harassing civilians. Warriors spawn in small groups, and Lieutenants and Bosses are often present. Warriors tend to stick to the hero-controlled zones, such as Buildville, Talos Park and parts of Fossburg.

• Sky Raiders

The Sky Raiders keep a minimal presence in this zone, in the form of Sky Skiffs. Lone or in pairs, the Sky Skiffs are usually in the Fossburg neighborhood, often fighting against Longbow chasers.
