== Overview ==

'''Warburg''' is the second highest-level of the four [[PvP]] zones.  A hero or villain must be at least level 30 to enter Warburg.  All characters in this zone will be automatically raised or lowered to level 38 while in this zone.  This zone is a free-for-all area and players may fight any other character in the zone. Teams may also be formed by those in the same faction.

== History ==

Warburg was home to a [[Council]] base during the world’s long Cold War. Missile silos were erected, secret weapons were developed in deep underground bunkers, and spies lived in the cold grey towers that dot the island’s surface.

The Council was “forcibly evicted” in the late 1960s by [[Lord Recluse]] and their facilities taken over by [[Arachnos]]. Scientists and eventually a support economy of civilian workers rose on the surface and slowly began to build homes and businesses.

The underground labs the Council left behind were rechristened “the Web,” and most of the old missiles destroyed. One large rocket-firing platform at the centre of the island remained, but even it was hidden by the false façade of a building.

Until recently.

[[Marshal Jason Blitz]] believed Lord Recluse wasn’t acting fast enough in his bid to take over the world. He found it tragic that the Web had developed so many incredible weapons and none of them were being used on the hated heroes!

When Blitz learned he was dying of cancer, he decided to speed things up a bit so that he could live to see the defeat of [[Paragon City]]. He murdered Governor Melody Harkness and took over the city with a cadre of troops loyal to him. Soon after, he demolished the false façade on the Warburg Rocket at the centre of his city and started firing warheads armed with various toxins on Paragon City.

Lord Recluse promised the UN he would rectify the situation, but his troops have so far been stalemated by their rivals. (Or so Recluse claims.)

Since the Warburg Weapons are being used on American soil, [[Longbow]] has taken it upon themselves - with presidential approval - to “intervene” in the [[Rogue Isles]] and take down Marshal Blitz. They’ve asked for help from Paragon City’s numerous heroes, and they’ve begun arriving in force. Recluse has sent minimal troops to the area to stop Blitz, but has instead asked for help from the numerous super-powered “villains” who dwell on his isles. Most believe Recluse is not only content to let Blitz wreak havoc on Paragon City, but is interested in seeing which villains prove themselves in this Darwinian game of survival.

* Before the release of [[Issue 7]] allowing villains access to [[Grandville]] and level 41-50 missions, this was the only zone where you could earn tier 3 base salvage.
