Overview
Off the coast of Talos Island, only accessible by ferry, lies Peregrine Island, the home of the Portal Corporation. The Portal Corporation created the teleportation technology behind the Medcom patch that rescues Heroes when they are downed, and the police bots that patrol the city.
The island itself is crawling with Carnival, Nemesis, and Malta thugs, each attempting to assert their authority over the area, while Rikti hunting parties try to extend their influence. The Circle of Thorns prey upon the Portal scientists because of their desire to dominate other dimensions, and the rooftops house Crey snipers who enforce their jurisdiction upon unwary Heroes.
The center of the island is dominated by the Portal Corporation facility, where three massive portals connect to a myriad of alternate dimensions, each of which requires Heroes to enter and police activities on the other side to defend Paragon City. Surrounding this facility are a number of high-tech firms that support the residents of this area, as well as Portal Corp itself.
On the outskirts of the zone, there are two large island clusters, one of which contains an abandoned facility, almost as if used for genetic experimentation. The Rikti have overrun this cluster and Rikti Monkeys swarm the cluster in its entirety. The other has been claimed by the Devouring Earth, and massive monsters patrol its shores, protecting it from intruders.

Portal Parter This R&D facility suffered one too many accidents and has since fallen into ruin. |
|
|
Cause for Concern Visitors to Portal Corp are usually a little concerned when they see these defensive outposts put up near the elevators down to the portals. Tour guides insist they are "just for show", though the occasional "all clear" heard from military radios nearby doesn't help much. |
|
|
Genetically Altered Scientists still aren't sure what exactly these massive bones belong to. Crey refuses to comment, claiming that the bones are from ancient dinosaurs, though paleontologists refute the claim, saying it looks like no dinosaur they have on record. Despite a lack of evidence, signs point to some sort of genetic shenanigans on Crey's part. |
|
|
Rikti Gone Wild The horde of Rikti Monkeys on Monster Island seems to have been confined to this area, supposedly by Crey. Investigations into what exactly went wrong have been going on for some time. Many suspect that the Devouring Earth assaulted the island, destroying the barriers put in place to keep the Rikti in. |
|
|
Shades of Arachnos You could swear that you just saw a submarine off the coast of this island...but it's gone now. It was probably just your imagination. |
| All-Seeing Tenants on the top floor in the apartment building have constantly complained that the nearby hero statue makes them feel uneasy. Many say it feels as if someone is constantly watching them. A former tenant claimed to see some sort of video camera in the eyes of the statue, though city officials deny this claim as 'unsubstantiated.' |
|
|
Dark Omen These battered bones are all that remains of a foolhardy adventurer who sought to explore this island full of monsters. No one has tried to identify them, as the people of Peregrine Island are too terrified of this island to even go near it. |
|
Thrill Seeker You're always looking for new forms of entertainment, and it's said that the Mission Architect technology is entertainment in its purest form. |
- Hero-Specific
|
|
Use Might for Right Longbow has placed various posters in Peregrine Island to attract more powerful heroes back to Atlas Park for the fight against Recluse. They have plenty of fresh heroes looking to join the fight, though all of them must be turned away due to inexperience, unless they become fodder for the Arachnos Operatives that plague Recluse's Victory. |
