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.
