The Tourist Guide to Paragon City
I grabbed it off the Beta board, to preserve it. I'll update it when I can, since I can do so with Glaysha. I just didn't want it to be lost.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
________________
Welcome to Paragon City! Below is a guide to help you get around the various zones in the Birthplace of Tomorrow, a list of special places to see and a bit of a look at the unsavoury characters who may cross your path in your travels.
This is not an all inclusive guide and certainly hasn't been written to 'ruin' people's experiences of discovering Paragon City for themselves. Instead, this should be seen as merely an aid to the hero seeking to orientate himself in the big City and assist in combatting crime.
1.1 FAIR USE AND EMAIL POLICY _____________________________
As author of this guide, I have no problems with its use and distribution provided that 1) it is distributed in an unaltered state and 2) that access to it is free (ie you do not need to pay an access fee of any type to purchase use of this guide). If you wish to alter this guide and / or charge for it's use, permission must first be sought from its author (ie me ;-).
If you wish to email me, PLEASE put something in the subject line about City of Heroes. I tend to delete emails with no subject line on the grounds that it is spam. Also, all submissions will be credited to their contributors, so if you send me info that gets included in this guide you will have your name put next to it. Please include a name (any name or nic) for me to use as I dislike putting contributor email addresses in guides.

2.0 PARAGON CITY ZONES
______________________
All heroes have access to a map (default key 'm' or at the top of the ui) they can look at to find out where they or their team mates are. Apart from the zone they start in, these maps will not have their suburbs named. You can see the suburb perimeters on the map as the coloured lines around the edges of certain areas - these colours give some small indication of how hard core the criminals of that area are.
As you run around each zone, you will see that you leave behind an unshadowed trail on the map. Once you have travelled enough through a suburb, the name of the suburb will appear on the map for future reference.
The location guide will list a suburb name (eg 'Downside') and its location on the zone map (eg 'South'). Some estimation has been used here - some zones stretch for several directions or are small and closely packed - but hopefully this info will be enough to get you around.
Trainers, Monorails, Contacts, Mission Waypoints all appear on the map.
2.1 ATLAS PARK
______________
Atlas Park is probably the most well-known location of Paragon City and one of two areas where heroes will start in the city after being dropped off by the out-of-town bus. Dominated by a huge statue of Atlas, this area is under seige from a low-powered street gang called the Hellions who can be found everywhere assaulting citizens and causing trouble.

HOSPITAL: Chiron Medical Centre
MAIN CRIMINAL ELEMENT: Hellions

2.2 GALAXY CITY
_______________

2.3 KINGS ROW
_____________
Kings Row will come as a shock to the hero coming out of Galaxy City or Atlas Park - gone are the green grasses and clean buildings of these safe areas, replaced with delapidation and industrial decay.
TRAINER: Blue Steel

2.4 PEREZ PARK - Level 7 to enter. Dangerous.
______________
Once a beautiful place to spend a day at a picnic, Perez Park is now infested with villains to the point that no sane citizen would attempt a walk through this park. Even heroes need to think twice before venturing into these woods - dark supernatural entities have been seen in the trees, performing rituals for unknown purposes. Outside of the park the zone is dominated by street gangs - the Skulls rule the west side while the Hellions control the east.
TRAINER:
MAIN CRIMINAL ELEMENT: Skulls, with a strong presence of Lost, Hellions, Circle of Thorns, Clockworks and Hydra

Hell's Highway (East): Lvl 7-10 Hellions in large numbers. - This neighbourhood contains the gate to Atlas Park.

________________

2.6 SKYWAY CITY
_______________
A mass of concrete pillars greets the earth-bound hero on arrival in Skyway City - those that can fly will have a much easier time getting around this zone. For those heroes on foot, prepare to race along side cars on the many motorways that dominate Skyway City's landscape. Although ordinary citizens do live in this zone, it belongs to the Trolls who can be found on nearly every corner peddling Superdine to those who want it.
TRAINER: Mynx (turn right off the Monotram, she's in a small park); Synapse is next to her

________________
Blown-up part of town, from the Rikti Invasion. Buildings tilt at impossible angles. Graphically interesting.

The legend is that the Circle of Thorns did something to cause an earthquake in this part of the city. Similar to Boomtown, the buildings are in physically impossible states, but it's a graphically interesting and dangerous area. If you thought you needed flight in Skyway, wait until you see Faultline. Deep canyons and sharp angles.

2.8a SEWER SYSTEM
________________
Several Paragon City zones have a sewer access port where heroes can enter. Numerous criminal elements have taken to the underground to hide from justice, meaning that any hero who ventures down here must be ready for almost anything.
*You must be at Security Level 34 to enter the Sewer System in some sections*

MAIN CRIMINAL ELEMENT: Many different ones, at different levels. Dangerous.
NEIGHBOURHOODS: Atlas Park Sector: Lvl 20-22 Warriors

------------------------------
3.0 PLACES TO SEE
_________________
Below are just a sample of things you _can_ see while you are in Paragon City, but stand out for one reason or another as things you would be poorer for missing while in the Birthplace of Tomorrow.
3.1 GALAXY GIRL'S STATUE
________________________
Located in Atlas Park's Atlas Plaza, those who wish to learn about fallen heroes would do well to visit the statue dedicated to Galaxy Girl.
3.2 PARAGON POLICE DEPARTMENT _____________________________
Located in Kings Row's Freedom Plaza, the Paragon Police Department is the centre of police operations in Paragon City. Of particular note is the large coin that sits at the front of the PPD - both heroes and citizens have been known to use it as a backdrop for their portrait photographs.
------------------------------
4.0 MONSTERS, MOBSTERS, MERCENARIES - OH MY! ____________________________________________
Entering Paragon City almost ensures a tourist of seeing some form of organised crime gang, supernatural entities or superpowered miscreants at work. Below is a list of the bad guys who inhabit Paragon City and brief guide to the different types of villains you might run into.
Two different types of Bosses exist. One type is where an ordinary villain has progressed up the ranks until they are given the rank of "Boss" (eg Skull members can become Bone Daddies and there are quite a few of them around). The other type is the "name" Boss - a unique individual who is of particular significance to the villain group they are involved in (eg the Fifth Column have Major Snyder and Colonel Muller). Name Bosses are usually only involved in tasks important to that villain group.
Minions are often classified by the type of attacks they can make. Here are some of the minion suffixes you may run into and what they mean:
4.1 HELLIONS
____________
Found in Atlas Park and Galaxy City, the Hellions are a gang that seek
power through black magic and involvement with demons. Although not very
powerful when in early zones, they are numerous, and an unprepared hero
can find himself overpowered if not careful. More powerful Hellions can
sometimes be seen near Circle of Thorns rituals, perhaps indicating a link
between the groups.
Bosses -
Damned [they use fire based attacks]
Burnscar (Named)
Battalion (Named)
Matchstick (Named)
Pyro (Named)
Revenant Enforcer (Named)
4.2 THE SKULLS
______________
The Skulls are a death-obsessed street gang. They are easily recognisable
from the prominence of bones and skulls on their outfits. Skulls may
sometimes be found in the company of Vahzilok, indicating some sort of
relationship between the two groups. Skulls can also occasionally be seen
beating on Hellions - a rivalry obviously exists between these two street
gangs.
Bosses -
Bone Daddy [they use darkness based attacks]
Compound Fracture (Named)
Marrowsnap (Named)
Kneebreaker (Named)
The Strong Man (Named)
BoneCrusher (Named)
4.3 CLOCKWORK
_____________
Found in a number of zones, Clockwork are robotic constructs that have
been made from garbage. Occasionally they can be seen working on building
more of themselves and can appear in large numbers in abandoned buildings
or scrapyards, which is of concern to any hero.
Bosses -
Duke
Prince
Lord
Gears (Named)
Howitzer (Named)
Foreman (Named)
Powderkeg (Named)
Volt (Named)
Click (Named)
Coil (Named)

*Attack Pre-/Suffixes -
Tesla
Cannon
Assembler
Monster -
Babbage
Arch-Villian -
Clockwork King
4.4 VAHZILOK
____________
Vahzilok are dead flesh, animated by some perverse power. It is possible
that the ranks of the Vahzilok are bolstered by citizens abducted from the
streets of Paragon City, but little is currently known about who or what
is behind the actions of these zombies.
TYPES:
Minions -
Cadavers
Reapers
Abominations
Lieutenants -
Mortificators [can raise dead Vahzilok back to life!]
Attack Pre-/Sufixes -
Embalmed [explode if they get too close]
Murk
Mire
Insidious
Luminous
Arch-Villain -
Dr Vahzilok
4.5 THE LOST
____________
Another street gang, the Lost seem almost religious about their illegal
activities. It appears they are acting in the name of some great cause or
ideal, but one that will certainly not benefit of Paragon City. The Lost
is made up of Paragon City's homeless, perhaps held under some kind of
thrall by an unseen power.
Bosses -
Aberrant Eremite [they use psychic attacks]
Aberrant Rector [they use psychic attacks]
Leader Joe (Named)
Pariah Anchorite
Pariah Prelate
Chief Genghis
Hod
Gul
4.6 FIFTH COLUMN
________________
A well-trained and well-equipped paramilitary operation, the Fifth Column
can possibly draw its origins back to World War II, but little information
about this organisation currently exists. The recent Rikti invasion has
seen them emerge from the shadows and openly attempt to recruit new
members from the dispossessed.
TYPES:
Minions -
Launcher
Grenadier
Incinerator
Rifleman

Death's Head
Lost Son
Mad Thunder
Herald
Iron Reaver
Storm Strider
Red Viper
Copperhead
4.8 TROLLS
__________
Another street gang, the Trolls are easily recognisable by their green
skin - a side effect of the massive doses of Superdine they have ingested.
Other side effects of their drug-taking include increased strength and
fast regeneration of injury, making the Trolls a force to be reckoned
with. Trolls have been seen selling drugs to other gangs, but have also
been known to beat on members of other gangs who have arrived in their
territory.
TYPES:
Minions -
Trollkin
Jotun
Gygar
Lieutenants -
Gardvord
Bosses -
Ogre [super strength and regeneration]
Caliban
4.15 CIRCLE OF THORNS
_____________________
Mysterious magic users, the Circle of Thorns regularly attempts to abduct
citizens for use in their dark rituals. These rituals can be seen from a
distance, emitting an eerie green glow. Accompanying these magic users can
be ghosts and spectres that will attack any hero who attempts to halt the
Circle of Thorn's evil ceremonies.
Bosses -
Lead Scorcher [fire based attacks]
Lead Brick [earth based attacks and super strength]

Contacts
Contacts sell enhancements, but never buy them. Which they sell depends on the contact, and your relationship with the contact. Generally they'll sell the power 10 enhancements at some level when you first meet them, then adding new sets 5 levels higher as you progress.
Contacts sell inspirations, but never buy them. They are the only place to buy inspirations. They'll start out selling a few, and make more available as you improve your relationship. Contacts will only sell the weakest inspirations, for balance reasons.

Re: Maps
Thanks, Rev. I can't take credit for it. I simply grabbed it off the Beta Boards, and then beefed it out. This should be just about everything we need, except the slash commands. But since the slash commands have clickable counterparts, it shouldn't be needed.
And I'm sure the Gold boards for CoH will be filled with 'Where's Ms Liberty?' and 'Where do I find CoT in King's Row?' posts.
Re: Eden
As some of you know, I was online for the bump to level 38. I took it so I could see Eden. I was unaware of what awaited at the Hive. Oh my god...
I took some screenshots, too, during the many times I died. As soon as I can get them transferred, I'll put them up.

Re: Eden
For some reason, the link paste last night for the 3rd URL wasn't right. I edited the post showing the screenshot of the guy over Hamidon. Sorry about that.
Oh, and in that shot, the purple egg-looking thing in the middle is Hamidon (level 40 Archvillain). All those little "lights" around him are 28 Mitochondria (level 40 Boss).
