Overview

Nerva Archipelago is one of the city zones in City of Villains. One of the biggest zones villainside, Nerva Archipelago consists of a few large neighborhoods placed far apart. Crimson Cove is a series of smaller islands within the archipelago at the south end of the zone. Agincourt in the center-east boasts a large Longbow invasion force; Primeva to the northeast of Agincourt is a large, contested island, where many different enemy factions battle for control. Further northeast is Thorn Isle, where the Thorn Tree grows, Circle of Thorns flock, and magic gathers in strange ways.

The trainer for Nerva Archipelago is Arbiter Frederick, and the Brokers are both in Crimson Cove, Stella the Mouth in the southwest and Winston the Gent in the northeast.

Exploration Badges

Watcher on the Knoll A failed assassination on Ms. Liberty was made from the top of this pillar.

Locked and Loaded This is the spot where many Longbow Agents have trained to take you down.

Nerva Wreck You have visited the famous Nerva Wreck. What strange creature might have caused this disaster?

Primal Instinct This is the spot of many battles between the Circle of Thorns and their age-old enemy, the Mu.

Tree Hugger What mysterious purpose does this twisted old tree serve?

Unethical Tourist Crey Corporation has been known to invite tourist groups to see the experiments caged in these pens. They justify their actions by claiming the research is to better understand the various subjects contained here.

Blind Eye Longbow uses these state-of-the-art facilities to perform experiments on a small group of monsters they encounter. Longbow policy dictates that they turn their charges in to the proper authorities back in Paragon, but Agincourt officials routinely turn a blind eye to this facility's activities.

Soother The area behind this waterfall is said to be a secret spot where Scirocco goes to meditate during periods of stress. Marks on the wall indicate a major brawl between Scirocco and Black Scorpion (most likely due to Black Scorpion making fun of Scirocco for meditating).

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.

Plaques

Swashbuckler Arrhh, matey! You be a mighty scholar o' piracy!

• Swashbuckler IV: On the side of the sea wall at the northwest part of Crimson Cove. Coordinates (3795, 18, 7726)
