Difference between revisions of "Boomtown"

Before Baumton had its 'accident,' the Freedom Phalanx called this building home.

King Mihenra, a self-proclaimed warlord from the Netherworld, attempted to seize control of Paragon City, only to be defeated by Positron on this very spot.

An unnatural feeling of dread permeates the area in what is now called the Pit of Despair.

Valkyrie proved herself to Positron by battling the Clockwork King on this spot. Although she did not succeed in defeating him, he was severely damaged and Clockwork activity came to a halt for several weeks afterwards.

This tower used to be a bastion for the Trolls, providing them a good view over much of Boomtown. When the Outcasts moved in, they violently assaulted this tower and killed or drove out the Trolls holed up within. This was a major victory for the Outcasts, and they keep the fires burning within as a constant reminder to the Trolls still in Boomtown of the defeat they suffered.

The Lost, despised and reviled by every other criminal organization and gang, have become adept at finding secure hiding places where they can plot their revenge. Boomtown has several subterranean transit tunnels that escaped the devastation during the Rikti attack, and in fact provided shelter to Baumton's terrified residents. Now the Lost call these tunnels home and they will defend them to the death.

On the day of the Rikti attack that wrought such devastation upon Baumton, this shattered monorail track was a scene of terror; one of many on that dark day. But as the four-o'clock train dangled precipitously from the rail's shorn edge, the nightly news reported the fate of the imperiled passengers minute by minute. Ultimately the passengers were saved by Lady Liberty and the Back Alley Brawler in a narrow escape as Rikti soldiers closed in.

The stench of death clings to this forlorn cargo container. The Vahzilok are rumored to store corpses there for later use in their blasphemous experiments. It is difficult to argue what is more horrific: a cargo container stuffed with dead bodies, or one that is empty—indicating that the Vahizilok have a new crop of cadaverous servitors roaming the streets to do their dark bidding.
