Difference between revisions of "Arachnos"

'''Arachnos''' is one of the main factions in the City of Heroes/Villains universe. This villain group of dark origins resides today more or less permanently in the [[Rogue Isles]] and is the personal tool of [[Lord Recluse]] in his neverending fight with [[Statesman]]. Having sub-divisions of specialists, immense resources and no few powerful villains in his ranks, Arachnos can be considered a true army. Despite its immense power (or perhaps because of it), life in Arachnos is not easy and the fights between the different inner factions seem to be something relatively common. Arachnos only believes in the survival of the fittest and is not friendly towards costumed villains. Sometimes allied and mostly hostile to villains, this villain group can be found in City of Villains by a player during his whole career. Arachnos soldiers feel even less love for heroes, and will attack them on sight. In City of Heroes, a Hero who wishes to fight them will have to go to [[Faultline]], [[Siren's Call]], [[Rikti War Zone]] or [[Recluse's Victory]], or enter mission in [[Bloody Bay]], Siren's Call or [[Warburg]].

Lord Recluse discovered that Black Scorpion had built these enormous walking tanks to attack Mako in another of their inter-patron squabbles. Lord Recluse seized these monstruous war machines for his own use in [[Recluse's Victory]]. Loyalists like you will now be able to wield their destructive capabilities in battle! Their lack of speed is more than compensated for with its impressive firepower and heavy armor. The Arachnos Heavy Blaster is an awesome asset to any villain who's looking for an edge in battle.

Magus Mu'Drakhan is a leading figure among the growing ranks of mystic working under the banner of Arachnos who trace their lineage to the ancient civilization know as [[Mu]]. Mu'Drakhan's main interests lie both in expanding his already formidable arcane power, and uncovering the history of the lost civilization of Mu. He also holds a bitter anger at the [[Circle of Thorns]], who draw their magical powers from the mystic secrets of [[Oranbega]], the ancient enemy of Mu. Some whisper that he may be more loyal to his ancient bloodlines than to Arachnos, but such whispers are often quickly silenced.
