I have a mission for you, but there's a bit of history you should know first. I'm sure that you've tangled with the society of mystics called the [[Circle of Thorns]] before, but they have been a plague on this for many, many years. The Circle's origins, as far as we know, date back to it's founding by the nefarious Baron Zoria in the 1920's. One of their goals back then was to find the fabled lost city of Oranbega, the 'El Dorado of the east coast'. There were rumors that they found it years ago beneath [[Paragon City]], and have been using it as a base. I need you to investigate the rumors about Oranbega. The Circle are certain to sense you coming, you'll have 1 hour at most before they find a way to stop you.

Investigate the lost city of Oranbega

Briefing

I have a mission for you, but there's a bit of history you should know first. I'm sure that you've tangled with the society of mystics called the Circle of Thorns before, but they have been a plague on this for many, many years. The Circle's origins, as far as we know, date back to it's founding by the nefarious Baron Zoria in the 1920's. One of their goals back then was to find the fabled lost city of Oranbega, the 'El Dorado of the east coast'. There were rumors that they found it years ago beneath Paragon City, and have been using it as a base. I need you to investigate the rumors about Oranbega. The Circle are certain to sense you coming, you'll have 1 hour at most before they find a way to stop you.

Mission Acceptance

I've been investigating a possible entrance to Oranbega's outer reaches. The location seems to be a magical laboratory of sorts. It's inner reaches are guarded by wards of protection, so you'll need to disrupt the Circle's enchantments to complete your mission. Once you're there you'll need to recover any artifacts you find and defeat Karn, the head researcher.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to destroy that magic lab in Oranbega.

Mission Objective(s)

You have made your way through twisting tunnels and past magical wards. You have entered Oranbega, lost city of the Circle of Thorns.

  • Defeat Domi and his coven - 60 minutes
    • 4 artifacts left, 2 wards to break

The lab is destroyed, and the artifacts recovered.

  • Despite the fact that the mission suppossedly takes place in the lost city of Oranbega, the place is actually a regular blue cave. This is probably due to a bug, or is perhaps a customized map still to be done.

Debriefing
