[edit] Proposed Canon
The City of Heroes is a (possibly mythical) place where Erfworlders believe that those units who are courageous and good go after they croak, comparable to Valhalla of the Real World Vikings.
Several units have expressed some sort of belief in the City of Heroes:
- The City is mentioned by Vinny Doombats after the fight with the wounded dwagons from Parson's Siege Raids.Erf-b1-p073
- Wrigley, a Unaroyal Stabber is also a believer, though he expects that, having failed to even engage in combat, he will not be allowed to enter it.
- Caesar also mentions it in passing in a thinkagram to Bunny after the Battle of Chocula.First Intermission 47
Vinnie's comments suggest that it is believed, by some units at least, that the Titans judge at night, after all turns have ended, if a unit may enter this place and start their next turn there.Erf-b1-p073
[edit] Speculation
It is not explicitly stated that a unit has to croak in combat to go to the afterlife of City of Heroes, but given Wrigley's assertion that his death as a prisoner would not suffice to be selected, the inference is that death in battle is necessary seems strong.
The scripture refers to this place.
Units borne into the City of Heroes are said to be grouped into all-new Sides under the command of the Titans themselves, to fight the battle at the Last Turn which will end the world and bring unto all a new Erf.
If the City really exists, it's possible that some form of magic, possibly Weirdomancy, allows living Erfworlders to communicate or otherwise interact with the inhabitants of the City of Heroes.
[edit] Real World References
City of Heroes is an MMORPG. In the eponymous city that serves as the game's setting, only Heroes are allowed to be created (there is a seperate city, complete with its own MMORPG, for villains), which may indicate that the Erfworld equivalent is a resting place for "Good" units.
