Part 1: Crime Bible

  • Zone: European Castle
  • Instance: JLD: Darkness Rising
  • Location: At a fountain at the end of the left way around the castle
  • Investigation: Phantom Stranger: " Even as I wander the Earth to pay for my misdeeds, others worship murder and betrayal as a religion. I find it intriguing that the Crime Bible, a focus for the deification of criminal trespass, has earned special interest from Batwoman. The Crime Bible, and the Book of Lilith within, is a powerful tool in the hands of evil, but there will always be forces of good to maintain the balance."

Part 3: Seven Spells of Shazam

  • Zone: Oblivion Bar
  • Instance: JLD: Pub Crawl
  • Location: In the hallway near the back of the bar.
  • Investigation: Phantom Stranger: " The powers within the Seven Spells of Shazam are known only to the Wizard and to the Rock of Eternity itself. However, it is clear that the spells are intrinsically tied to the Rock. In the wrong hands, those spells could be a threat to all the power of Shazam."

Part 4: The Ibistick

  • Zone: Shattered Gotham
  • Instance: JLD: Shattered Gotham
  • Location: From the very small structure with the large tree on it, jump into the portal to land on another structure with the investigation node. You need to take a detour since you would normally pass by the structure with the tree.
  • Investigation: Phantom Stranger: " The Ibistick is an artifact of nigh-unlimited power, especially given its ability to absorb mystic energy from others. Its origins stretch back to the height of the Egyptian gods' influence on the world. Its power in the wrong hands could tip the balance from Order to Chaos. I hope I never see that day."

Part 5: Historama

  • Zone: Rock of Eternity
  • Instance: JLD: Pub Crawl
  • Location: In a niche of a side room of the hall of the last fight, near the coffin
  • Investigation: Phantom Stranger: " The Historama is one of the Rock of Eternity's most powerful tools. One need only say, "Historama show me..." to view anything on any plane of existence. Mortals these days worship their web of computers, but the Historama is a repository of information that puts all others to shame."
