Mission:Maria Jenkins - Cut off Black Swan's source of power

Cut off Black Swan's source of power

Black Swan is somewhat of an enigma. A few years back she was a major player in Praetoria, but her power seems to have waned in the meantime. It is apparent that Emperor Cole has a stranglehold on the Magic of Praetoria, so Black Swan is taking whatever she can get. She seems to strengthen her power by visits to an alternate dimension known as the Shadow World. We need you to go to the Shadow World and find out what she is doing to keep her power, and take her down if possible. Cutting off her power supply will deal a huge blow to the Praetorian power base.

• Cut off Black Swan's source of power

She's doing something to gain more power, we just need to determine what.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Notable NPCs

• Black Swan (Archvillain)

	Quill of Jocas
	The Praetorian version of the Dagger of Jocas, which was used by the Midnight Squad to imprison Rularuu by creating the Shadow Shard. Each quill is able to sever the shadow essence of a living being which can then be taken to Shadow Earth where Black Swan absorbs it, renewing her power.

Black Swan dialogue

Before Combat

Yes, give me more power!

Combat Start:

You are too late, Character. Jocas has severed the shadows and I have basked in their essence. And now you die!

Debriefing

So it seems that the Dagger of Jocas is different in Praetoria and Black Swan got her hands on the Quills of Jocas? I assume that's how she made the Shadow World, which resembles the Shadow Shard that the Midnight Squad made with the Dagger. She must absorb the shadows of her victims to power herself and create her minions at the same time. Excellent work, Character!
