New Contact(s)
I know a guy named Kevin Cordell who runs a small security consulting business. He's heard about you and would like to talk sometime about the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Kevin used to be a hero, and he still has access to Training Enhancements.
Kevin is not easily impressed, but I think you will do just fine with him, Character.
Have you ever read any of Jim Bell's articles in the paper? He's a great reporter who's been doing a lot of articles on the Tsoo and the Warriors. Jim has access to Training Enhancements.
Jim is outspoken and opinionated, but he is extremely well informed.
Laura Brunetti could be a useful contact to you, Character. Her supernatural library is unmached, and she is an expert on the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. She has Training Enhancements.
Laura has a keen mind and loves to get to the bottom of things. I'm certain you will find work with her enlightening.
Have you ever worked with Miriam Bloechl, the psychic? She's quite talented and enjoys helping heroes with the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. She has Training Enhancements.
Miriam's talent is very impressive; you will learn much from her.
Information
Mystic
No one knows Dr. Cheng's first name, or even his real name. Like all wise mystics, he knows that names have power, and so he is careful to hide his. There has been a Dr. Cheng living in Paragon City since the 1840's, and, as far as anyone can tell, this is the same man. He neither confirms nor denies his reputed age. Dr. Cheng wiles away the hours of the day in local restaurants and teahouses, dispensing wisdom, advice, and aid to any who ask it of him. He is known to be a powerful magician who specializes in dealing with malevolent spirits, ghosts, and demons. Since the Rikti War, Dr. Cheng has become closely involved with the city's heroes, offering them help in their ceaseless pursuit of justice. He is particularly interested in the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns.

Recover the armor from the Circle
Briefing
There's been a break-in at the Paragon City Museum of History. The thieves made off with a large portion of the exhibit on the Spanish conquest of the new world. The centerpiece of the collection was the Armadura del Sol, a set of conquistador's armor said to be enchanted with the power of the sun. It has no magical powers now, but it's said that a mage could learn much from studying the armor. For this reason, I suspect the Circle of Thorns are behind the theft. Will you recover the armor from the Circle?
The Armadura del Sol is composed of six pieces. You'll have to find and recover all of them to make sure the Circle's mystics can learn nothing from it.
Mission Objective(s)
The air of these caverns feels unusually warm, almost as though the sun could penetrate their depths.
- Defeat lead mystic and his crew
- Find 6 pieces of the missing armor
You have found all the pieces of the Armadura del Sol.
 |
Armadura del Sol |
| This ancient conquistador's armor is said to contain the power of the sun itself. Though its magic has long since faded, it was once rumored to give its wearer the power to destroy an army. |
Notable NPCs
- Alejas (Circle of Thorns Ruin Mage)
These magics of the Armadura are known to us. But they have been distorted somewhat.
Did you come for the Armadura, Hero? You will pay for your foolish interference!
Enemies
Do you think they know its power?
I have more than enough might to deal with you!
Your power is nothing to me!
Debriefing
Recovering the Armadura del Sol will have ramifications far beyond these city walls. You did the world a service today. The Armadura del Sol was said to have once been powerful enough to level a city. If the Circle truly understood its power, they must be a more fearsome foe than we had guessed.

Find Suzanne Trent
Briefing
In the wake of the Rikti War, there's been a resurgence of all kinds of mysticism. This has helped in some cases, even providing the city with new hope. But it has also caused a great deal of trouble. One new cult calls itself the Banished Pantheon. They have some sort of dark power; they can animate the dead and call spirits from beyond the grave! A reporter named Suzanne Trent was investigating them, but now she's gone missing. Please find Suzanne Trent as soon as possible.
Mission Acceptance
The creatures we have seen the most frequently have been dubbed Husks; they seem to be made from the animated bodies of the dead.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I am really counting on you to return Suzanne Trent to us safely.
Mission Objective(s)
Somewhere below, a woman's terrified screams echo in the darkness.
- Find Suzanne Trent
You have defeated the Banished Pantheon minions and rescued Suzanne Trent.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Suzanne Trent (NPC Hostage)
- Ventiir / A'Taar (Banished Pantheon Spirit of Pain)
Notes
- The name of the hostage varies. Possible names are Edith Frasier, Marion Ford and Suzanne Trent.
- Even though the name of the hostage can change, the name in the description of the temporary power received will be Suzanne Trent.
Temporary Power:
When you rescue Suzanne Trent, she will give you the Idol of Lughebu temporary power.
|
Idol of Lughebu Melee, Moderate Damage, Negative, Self +Hit Points, Foe -Accuracy When you rescued Suzanne Trent, she gave you this idol she found in the Pantheon's lair. While carrying it, you have the ability to drain the life from nearby foes, increasing your own Hit Points. The idol must be returned to the MAGI vault within 3 real days. |
|
Suzanne Trent's Story |
| When you rescued Suzanne Trent, she said:
'I've seen a lot of horrible things since I started this investigation. This Banished Pantheon cult, they're inhuman! They worship some kind of lost god-like beings, horrible prehistoric entities that feed on pain. Their chief god is Lughebu, who demands that they learn about all beings of power. Here, take this idol I discovered. I have a feeling there's some sort of dark magic about it. |
Debriefing
According to Suzanne Trent, the Banished Pantheon is investigating all beings of power. I must say, that phrase has an ominous ring to it. Depending on the definition, it could include heroes like yourself.
Hit the streets and defeat a few Pantheon cultists
Briefing
The Banished Pantheon have been spreading their dark forces over the city. People are afraid, and I understand why. I need a hero to hit the streets and defeat a few Pantheon cultists. They've been seen often on Talos Island, and I've heard that Dark Astoria is completely overrun.
Mission Acceptance
Thanks for taking this on. Be careful. The Pantheon is a powerful adversary.

Debriefing
The Pantheon cultists have grown fearsomely strong. It's good that we have brave people like you who can fight them. Template:Mission Common Combat the Circle of Thorns in Talos Island
Take the fight to the Banished Pantheon in Dark Astoria
Briefing
Ever since Astoria became a hazard zone, few have dared to venture in there. Those that return report wandering hordes of Husks and Chambers animated by the dark powers of the Banished Pantheon. As long as they control the zone, it will be impossible for the city to retake that part of the city. I need you to take the fight to the Banished Pantheon in Dark Astoria.
Mission Acceptance
You could start in Romero Heights or Dido's View. Those neighborhoods are especially overrun.
Unnecessary Solicitation

Mission Objective(s)

- Defeat 20 Banished Pantheon
You have lessened the Banished Pantheon's hold on Dark Astoria.
Debriefing
Through your efforts and those of other heroes like you, Dark Astoria may one day be restored to the city. Thank you, Character.
