City of Heroes released a new Neighborhood report about the hazard zone of hollows which is a firce battleground for the gangs of Paragon City.

The Hazard Zone of the Hollows is a fierce battleground for the gangs of Paragon City. New heroes are often pulled into service to help the Paragon Police Troll Task Force. Heroes must reach Security Level 5 before being granted access, but as soon as they have proven themselves to be tough enough, they are always a welcome sight for the badly outnumbered police forces.

The Hollows is east of Atlas Park and northeast of Skyway City. As a Hazard zone, it has no monorail station. Similarly, there are no trainers or hospitals within. The borders of the neighborhood are blocked off by War Walls, and the only entrances are secured by the Paragon Police Department. The Hollows is roughly divided up into five neighborhoods.

Cherry Hills

The area closest to the Atlas Park Security Gate was named after the once-idyllic park, Cherry Hills. The Paragon Police Troll Task Force has established a fortified beachhead here, under the command of Lt. David Wincott.

Along the western-most border of the neighborhood are a series of residential apartments. Their original tenants have long since fled, but they remain in fairly stable shape, although now they are somewhat worse for wear due to their current gangbanger inhabitants.

The buildings that run between the police line and the park have been reduced to rubble, however, creating a rocky border. This ruined area is a hotly contested battleground between the police and the Outcasts, leading into the park. According to police reports, the gangs destroyed these buildings in their rampages to ensure the PPD could not use them as a vantage point into the park

The park itself is heavily overrun by the Outcasts and Trolls, who struggle ceaselessly. A water treatment facility that runs through park has been rendered unusable since the Hollowing.

VILLAIN GROUPS: the Outcasts and Trolls are the predominant villains in this neighborhood. However it is not uncommon to find a solitary member of the Hellions, Warriors, or Family trying to negotiate a deal with one side or the other.

CONTACTS: David Wincott is the head of the Troll Task Force in the Hollows. He will sell his contacts Inspirations and a small selection of Level 10 Enhancements.
