-===The Early Years===
+=== The Early Years ===
 Centuries ago, the islands were discovered by a French secret sect, the [[Children of Enos]], fleeing from France and blown off course sailing to the New World. There they found fragments of strange ruins that hinted at an older and darker history. The sect quickly enslaved the small native population (and supposedly overcame the spirit-guardians of the natives) and put them to work building a magnificent gothic temple/fortress over the mysterious ruins. The base thrived for many decades and became the sect’s main headquarters. From here they conducted their dark plots against their hated enemies in France and the Church.
-===The Colonial Period===
+=== The Colonial Period ===
 During the French & Indian War period, the islands became home to a number of settlers. At first, the French used the islands to house prisoners or for barracks for their soldiers and sailors. By 1756, thousands of settlers fleeing both Europe and the Americas came to the island to avoid the French and Indian / Seven Years War.

 With the harbor half-choked and many of the island’s elites dead or fled, the islands sank into poverty and squalor. During the Civil War a small fleet of Confederate blockade-runners passed through the remains of the port, but other than that little changed in the Rogue Isles for almost 70 years.

+=== 20th Century and Beyond ===
 When [[Statesman]] appeared in [[Paragon City]], many of the villains there decided they needed a new home. The Rogue Isles was an obvious choice. Many already had connections there and the little nation’s “friendly” attitude made it a perfect choice. President Oakes was no fool. He knew that if he resisted these newcomers with their gangs and occasional superpowers things would not turn out well. But at the same time, he had bargaining chips – citizenship, diplomatic immunity, and other protections from American justice. And he had friends in the high places of America who were happy with the Rogue Isles just as they were. Deals were struck – in exchange for “playing nice” and taxes, the government turned a blind eye – and the Rogue Isles became a haven for the super-powered and evil.

 :Actually part of Paragon City, this nuclearly devastated neighborhood is being rebuilt, but the reconstruction efforts have been stopped by the constant attack of Arachnos. [[Longbow]] and [[Arachnos]] clash here frequently in great numbers for the control of the zone, with no clear winner so far.

 :Lord Recluse forced kidnapped portal technicians to create a [[Destiny Portal]] capable of sending subjects to alternate, and potentially existant, futures. Finding one time thread in which Paragon City was successfully taken over by Arachnos, Lord Recluse sent in forces with [[Temporal Anchor]]s to secure the time stream and guarantee that future to be the one that will actually occur. The scientists escaped back to Paragon City, and now Longbow has created a second Destiny Portal to combat Arachnos and ensure his victory never occurs. With each defeat and victory, the future moves one step closer to reality. Who will end this war of the ages? Only time will tell...
