Tarkas

**Tarkas** is a character in INSOMNIA: The Ark and its demo. One of Hastir's bodyguards alongside Borgo, his mission is to protect his boss while traveling the dangerous tunnels of the station.

* The tattoo
Prophet's Ascent

**Prophet's Ascent** is a faction quest in INSOMNIA: The Ark for The House of Bea Kera. It is obtained after completing Sulfur Geyser.

## Quest Targets

* Kill Zers and Borka
* Report the victory to Opherod

## Typical Journal entry

Opherod has announced a general call to arms! Bea Kera is getting ready for an assault. The Mentor wants the Morakh clan completely wiped out, and to achieve that I'll need to kill Zers as well as others. There's a delta module in the Borakh bunker, in which Bork[a], the son of the legendary Morakh and predecessor of the current clan leader, has been sleeping for three and a half centuries. I'll have to disturb his sleep.

Zers Morakh died protecting the peace of his predecessor, and Borka never got to see what the Nomans evolved into three and a half centuries later. I need to get back to Opherod and report the victory to him.

## Notes

As might be expected, the fight with The Sons of Morakh involves much difficult combat. There will be several members of the House of Bea Kera with you on the upper floor of Fort Morakh, but you will be virtually on your own on the lower level; your companions will wait outside. There is a loader to the left just after you enter Fort Morakh which provides good cover.

If you reload a save made inside the Morakh bunker, you may find the bunker door closed when you try to leave. It is possible to get round this with console commands, but better to save the game only outside the bunker.

If you are outside the bunker door and it is closed, go up the stairs to its right to a door you can hack; inside is a terminal you can hack which will open or close the bunker door.

Get the key from Zers' body to open Borka Morakh's mausoleum; to kill Borka, use any weapon to attack the delta module containing him.

Leg Bones

Item Id | Misc\_LegBone

**Leg Bones** are a miscellaneous item in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

## Description

Ghetter culture seems completely wild to urbanites—some artisans make door handles and other interior decor from human bones, and ghetters also believe in the healing qualities of dried-up, powdered remains. In any case, even this item has a buyer.
Skull

Average Price | 30

**Skull** is a miscellaneous item in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

## Description

The unlucky owner of this skull was clearly killed by a well-aimed shot to the head. This skull will most likely be valuable to artisans of the Crematorium who prepare ritual articles. Crafts made from the bones of those who have died violent deaths are especially popular among ghetters.
Typer's Set

**Typer's Set** is Typer's personal light armor that he uses when on a job in the Dump. Made of enhanced materials, this armor has seen better days, though it has saved his life countless times. It was replaced in the final game by the Mercenary's Set.

It's composed of **Typer's Jacket** and **Typer's Pants**.

## Description

Light armor made of several layers of rubberized fabric, enhanced with fiberglass plastic and metal plates. I guess my body is the only thing that has more holes than these rags. But they have helped me out of trouble many times.

## Trivia

* In the pre-alpha demo, some of the statistics were slightly different from those of the alpha demo. Mainly, "Front Armor" didn't exist, and the Jacket had a weight of 4 instead of 3 while the pants had a weight of 3 instead of 1.5.

## Gallery

* In the demo, as Typer's Set
* In the final game, as the Mercenary's Set
Luster

**Manifest Distillate** is a consumable item in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

## Description

An elite distillate made by Egilik, this beverage contains 40% alcohol, has a strong earthy taste, and is highly purified. This is easily the highest quality and most expensive drink on the Station-any self-respectting general is sure to have a bottle of Manifest in their bar.

## Notes

Can be used for the quest High Society, yielding a Sicarius Revolver.

Supposed to be received for passing a Tector or Ordinator check from Talik.
Padded Vest

Average Price | 2000

The **Padded Vest** is a piece of gear in INSOMNIA: The Ark; it's part of the Helot's starting equipment.

## Description

A lightweight padded vest is basic equipment for soldiers of the Ordinate. Of course, such a garment is unlikely to be helpful in a serious fight, but it is entirely capable of protecting its owner from bottles and pieces of pipe thrown at them during riots.
Mammoth Gas Mask

Average Price | 1200

The **Mammoth Gas Mask** is a piece of gear in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

Prophet's Descent

**Prophet's Descent** is a faction quest in INSOMNIA: The Ark for the Sons of Morakh. It is obtained after completing Wax Cell.

## Quest Targets

* Storm the House of Bea Kera and kill Opherod
* Go back to Zers to pick up the reward

## Typical Journal entry

Zers Morakh has called forth a gathering of forces to storm the lair of the Bea Kera cultists. Our main objective is to kill Opherod. The Sons of Morakh brigadier, Burro, will be waiting for me at the House of Bea Kera.

Blood was shed on the expensive carpets in Opherod's lushly decorated cell. I need to get back to Zers Morakh to tell him that the enemy has finally been defeated.

## Quest Notes

If you go into the area where the Galvanizer works, you may find a grating covering the entrance when you want to leave. If this happens, follow the cable from the grating to a switch that you can use to open it again.

The combat on this mission is probably easier than that of Prophet's Ascent; **most** of the Bea Kera folk are unarmed and unarmoured, and you will have several Morakh fighters alongside you.

It's well worth talking to Opherod before you kill him; he has a lot to say about Somnia, and about his past.
STL4205 Tablet

Average Price | 1350

The **STL4205 Tablet** (**Bot Hacking Tool, PCracker-70** in the demo) is a tool in INSOMNIA: The Ark. With it, KZ0012 can more easily hack doors.

## Description

A tablet computer used for connecting to the Station's networks. This model belongs to the famous vintage Gralem Satellite series. Tectors use these tablets to debug various electronic systems. With this device, it will be much simpler to open doors and turn off security systems while travelling beyond the borders of Urb.

## Old Description

Do you want to turn a security bot into a remote control car? It's easy with the PCracker-70. Several simple steps will turn a deadly machine into a toy that obeys your orders or a pile of scrap. PCracker-70 is good for hacking security bots and turrets.
Lost Signal

**Lost Signal** is a main quest in INSOMNIA: The Ark. It comes after The People's Voice and is followed by Source and Dr. Glar's Parcel.

## Quest Targets

* Reach zone D-96
* Find Second-Lieutenant Darrel and his group
* Find out what's happening in zone D-96

## Typical Journal entry

Captain Riebel wants me to go to zone D-96 and find out what happened to the patrol, which is no longer responding to radio calls.

Not far from the entrance to the zone, I met some of the soldiers from the missing platoon. Sergeant Segezur told me that the patrol identified a security system failure in zone D-96, where, on top of everything, there were reception issues as well.
Supposing that a sabotage squad of renegades may be operating in the zone, Platoon Commander Darrel decided to scout out the situation. He ordered Sergeant Segezur to take out the injured and try to call for backup, but they didn't manage to establish a connection. Seems I have no other choice than to follow Darrel's reconnaissance group. They might be in urgent need of help.

Seems like I found Darrel's group, or rather what's left of it. I need to figure out what's going on here.

I hardly remember what happened, and it seems there are no more witnesses to what I saw. Much later I heard that the body of Second-Lieutenant Darrel was never found.

## Rewards

None, although completing this quest advances the story substantially.

## Quest notes

This mission has very demanding combat, especially in the early stages the game. A shield is helpful here, if you can keep it repaired. Fortunately there's good cover from the first turret you encounter; you'll be able to destroy it more easily if you have incendiary cartridges.

It's probably worth taking down the security bots to your right, as they will attack you from behind as you progress through the area. Go left from your original position and straight ahead to the terminal, which you can hack to turn off the security systems, though you will need a UA Card and the Computers 2 skill to do this. This disables the turrets, but sadly not the security bots.

Try not to hit any of the repair bots, or they will turn against you as well.

You can return to this area later in the game, and there's loot available if you do, but much of the location will be blocked by Committee members, and in particular you'll not be able to see the picture in the final room.
Top Hat

Average Price | 800

The **Top Hat** is a piece of gear in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

## Description

An ugly, delapidated top hat, more suited to a mannequin in a junk shop. It seems absolutely useless, but for some reason you're sure that once you put it on, you will instantly make a deal with any merchant on the Station. Perhaps your feelings do not deceive...
Resonance

**Resonance** is a main quest that is obtained after completing Awakening.

## Quest Giver

Redden in the medical wing of the Vulture's Nest, after you have acquired the Bane of Mills quest.

## Quest targets

* Use a delta module
* Continue exploring the house by the sea
* Explore the annex

## Typical Journal Entry

Doctor Redden was very interested in my sensory experience inside the anomaly. He believes that I have a high resistance threshold and that I am able to successfully control my visions. Redden suggested performing an experiment on my using the Sample: he wil use its emission as a frequency setting, casting me into delta sleep. I need to use the delta module in Redden's office.

Dr. Redden's experiment has lead me to an extraordinary place: an old house with a basement and a garden, inhabited by shadows. Dr. Redden believes that such journeys are a very promising area of research, and that I can repeat the experiment at any time. He suggested that I proceed exploring the seaside house and have more interactions with the beings I will meet there. In his opinion, doing that will help me put together a clearer picture of what my visions are all about.

I have managed to open the door on the second floor of the house. Behind it is a gallery leading to an annex with a covered porch. It seems that there is someone there.

## Notes

The objective 'Explore the annex' is unlocked by completing Bad Dream, Missing Book, and Barren Land.

The Nomah Autonomy

**The Nomah Autonomy** is a state whose borders supposedly stretch out all across Object 6. The entity was proclaimed by Prime General Azar in the year 20 After Exodus. The reality, however, is that Nomah Autonomy territory is limited to Urb—the municipality containing all modern conveniences, whose sphere of influence includes the terriotries of the Near Range. In between the years 20 and 42, the Nomah Autonomy was an autocratic state; as of the latter it has become an established republican form of government.

Shell

Average Price | 150

Somnia (medical condition)

**Schizophreniform Anar’s disorder**, colloquially known as **Somnia,** is a disease handed down to the people of Nomah for their sins, and sooner or later it will infect everyone. however, its nature is much broader than is commonly known. It is an unknowable force, born out of Timelessness, that one can interact with and find harmony with. A person showing signs of somnic infection is very likely deprived of their social status and, in some cases, their life. Meanwhile, on the edges of the Near Range, where Urb's laws are barely enforced, one can find people with somnic deformations (in other words, pathological tissues), who remain fully-fledged members of society. The followers of Bea Kera try to "connect" with Somnia and achieve Unification with it by using psychological drugs.

When KZ0012 meets Tanaber in the Square of Glory, the General tells him that somnia is a physical phenomenon, and the illness "merely a side effect". According to him, somnic anomalies do not obey the regular laws of physics.

The Day of Ash

**The Day of Ash** is a main quest in INSOMNIA: The Ark. It can be obtained after receiving the objective 'Get Tel's memories back' during the quest Source, and is followed by All Flesh is Grass.

## Quest Targets

* Bring the shadow a record called the Day of Ashes
* See what's on the second floor

## Typical Journal entry

I met one of Tel's restless reflections in the seaside house. The shadow misses the phonograph records her father threw away. She asked me to bring the record of a musical suite called the Day of Ash. I can buy it off the Antiquist.

Before vanishing, the shadow said that her father has returned from the city. Perhaps it would be useful to talk to him. His office is on the top floor.

## Quest notes

Although the journal entry talks about "phonograph records", the item in the Antiquarian's inventory actually appears as a reel-to-reel tape.
Ohmburger

Average Price | 200

The **Ohmburger** is a consumable item in final game.

## Description

All of the ingredients in this burger come from oma, which is grown in Urb's plantations. Without flavor enhancers, even the hungriest deformant would be unlikely to swallow it down.

## Note

This item should presumably have been called an Omaburger, given that it's made from oma, and a burger past its sell-by date is called an Old Omaburger.
Pride of the Nation Teapot

Average Price | 110

**Pride of the Nation Teapot** is a miscellaneous item in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

## Description

The Nation's Pride teapot, made by the Zerk-Rodd factory. It is made from a high-quality polymer porcelain in the Neo-Brutalist style.

Mannik

**Mannik** is a character in INSOMNIA: The Ark, working as Blakk's assistant at his bookstore in the Vulture's Nest.

## Background

The "in-house philosopher" as described by Blakk. A stocky man with ridiculous haircut and decaying teeth. Takes his job seriously, arguing "a ghetter that picks up a book will never pick up a gun again". A bit of a writer. In his book the Station was actually buried underground the whole time and the Committee start pursuing the main character who discovered incredible abilities. The story ends with the main character killing a bunch of agents, the Commissary General offering him a position in the Committee, and the offer being refused. In the end he disappears into the darkness, lighting a cigarette only to be shot in the back by a sniper, an ending he really likes and refuses to change. Holds Blakk in high regard and is glad he pays so well. His favorite book is The Timeless Saga, even though the wording might be a little bit too fancy for him.

## Interactions

Depending on dialogue choices, he can lend his favorite book to you (The Timeless Saga Book I).

## Trivia

The synopsis of his book foreshadows the events of the main quest of the game, as while details like the station being underground are false, The Committee does take an interest in KZ0012 with his unique Somnik feats and they can be joined in one of the endings.
Rakh

A **Rakh** is a creature in INSOMNIA: The Ark. The game describes them as predators that mainly inhabit the Junkyard, but occasionally settle in the Near Range. An adult rakh can easily weigh half a tonne.

Military Pack

Average Price | 1300

The **Military Pack** is a piece of gear item in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

## Quest targets

* Give the Unitor's belongings to Quartermaster Kelver

## Typical Journal entry

Zellerk gave me the belongings of a unitor who died on a mission. They need to be delivered to Quartermaster Kelver at the Asagras Military Base.

Kelver took the belongings of the former unitor called Traig.

## Quest notes

The Personal Belongings Zellerk gives you aren't unique; you can find this item (uncommonly) elsewhere in the game.

If you talk to Riebel when he gives you the Bane of Mills quest, there's a dialogue option which mentions Traig, though it changes nothing.
Plasma Grenade Diagram

Average Price | 50

**Savik's Axe** is a weapon in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

A **Stainless Steel Teapot** is a miscellaneous item in INSOMNIA: The Ark. There are several different types of teapot in the game, all called **Teapot** in the Inventory.

## Description

A stainless steel kettle and insert made of vulcanized oma resin. It is heavy and doesn't work well as a travel kettle. However, cookware such as this is a real find for junksters, who use it to fashion custom armor.

## Notes

The Antiquist at the Antiques Shop will only accept a Pride of the Nation Teapot.
Shuppe

**Shuppe** is a character in INSOMNIA: The Ark. An engineer at Asagras, he's working non-stop in one of the side corridors to try and fix it all for an upcoming Committee inspection. In actuality, he's soldering the same area over and over again because he believes it's useless as the deadline will never be met.

## Interactions

Shuppe has a non-Journal quest: depending on your class, you may be able to call him out. If successful, Shuppe will beg you to keep your mouth shut and gift you a Thingmaster's Collection and 4 Complex Parts.

The Exodus

With The Last War ending with total nuclear annihilation, General Azar sent the remnants of his army to secure Object 6 and prep it for departure. Thus came **The Exodus**.

The news about the upcoming evacuation had spread with incredible speed. Thousands of people flocked to a ruined Taloi suburb with hope of salvation. Despite strict control measures taken by the army, many of the fleeing refugees managed to sneak aboard Object 6. The station, controlled by an autonomous navigation system, left the orbit of Teina Nui and headed towards the Evacuation Point — a distant planet where the Nomans hoped to start a new life. The Nomah nation was saved from the mechanized legions of the SORG regime, but the situation aboard Object 6 was getting worse every day. The army occupied Urb - an isolated sector containing most of the station’s supplies and resources. Hundreds of thousands of evacuees outside of Urb were left in the darkness of abandoned hallways. Famished and sick, no longer visually resembling humans, these people began to huddle together in packs, desperately fighting for a semblance of life.
Old Friend

**Old Friend** is a side quest in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

## Quest Giver

Neville, a shadow to be found near The House by the Sea on the Coast

## Typical Journal entry

At the very edge of the shore, I discovered a small pet cemetery. There I encountered old man Neville, who is trying in vain to bury his dead pet. Maybe I should help the old man and dig the grave myself, even though he isn't asking for help.

I dug a grave for the animal. Now Neville can breathe easier knowing that his friend will rest in peace.

## Notes

A shovel is needed to complete this quest; fortunately the Antique Shop, through which you have to pass to get to the quest, sometimes has one for sale. It's best to have the shovel in your inventory when you start this quest; you may not be able to complete it on a subsequent visit.
Kololei

**Kololei** is a character in INSOMNIA: The Ark. He is to be found at the Rusty Arena, watching the Kravayah fights.

## Background

Kololei claims that Colonel Sabra provided him with a visa and a trade licence for his visit to the Arena. Both Morakh and Bea Kera are seeking an alliance with him, so he is obviously a person of influence. He says he's bored with the fights so far, and it's only after KZ0012 defeats his champion Mauritz that he shows interest.

## Interactions

You need to get Kololei to support either The Sons of Morakh or The House of Bea Kera; the corresponding quests are Revived Alliance and New Alliance.

**Assault Troopers** are mercenaries found on Volskaya Foundry.

Spawning in groups of 3, these hovering exoskeletons have a long ranged attack and are able to attack structures outside of their attack ranges. Much like Siege Giants, Assault Trooper are able to attack structures outside of their attack ranges. Assault Trooper boast a faster attack speed but lack splash damage for clearing minion waves. Compared to Siege Giants on a camp-to-camp basis, Assault Trooper are significantly less effective in the early game but have more structure DPS in the late game. Statistically, the assault camp units are reskinned Khazra.

Because the Assault units go into the top lane, they are most effective when the objective is in the middle or bottom lanes, as then they require players to travel the farthest to clear the camp and return to the objective.

Hierarchy Leggings

Average Price | 1990

The **Hierarchy Leggings** are a piece of gear in INSOMNIA: The Ark. It's part of the Vulture's Set.

## Description

Old but still effective leggings from the days of the Last War, they provide superior protection from firearms. Despite the fact that this armor set can somewhat limit movement, it is capable of withstanding several blows from a plasma weapon. Nomah Autonomy engineers have tried several times to make newer versions that are better than the 400-year-old model, but the superiority of the old technology remains undeniable.

**Banshee** is a Summon created by Raynor after selecting his Heroic *Raynor's Raider*. The Banshee deals 84 damage per second and regenerates 75 HP/s if it hasn’t taken damage in the last 4s. It can be reactivated to retarget or move the Banshee. Upon death, the Banshee respawns automatically after 45s.

**Gnolls** are Warcraft-themed Siege Camps found on Alterac Pass. They first spawn after 1:00 minutes into the game and respawn after 1:30 minutes.

One Gnoll Camp is found at the bottom left side, and the other one is found at the top right side of the middle lane. Gnolls can soak up much damage from towers and enemy minions. Enemies hit by their basic attacks will have their armor reduced for a few seconds. This armor reduction effect can stack.

## Background

Indigenous to both the Alterac Mountains and the Redridge Range far to the south, the hyena-like gnolls are extremely aggressive and are often found quarreling amongst themselves. Though relatively intelligent compared to most beasts, they are not very bright by human standards. They have been known to manipulate each other into fights over ridiculous things like "whose shadow is larger". It has often been stated that the gnolls would be quite a fearsome race, if they ever stopped tearing each other to pieces long enough to organize themselves into an army.

April Fools

Almost every year™, Blizzard takes some extra time to devote to April Fools'. More than a few of those jokes (like Cho'Gall or Pajamathur) have turned out to be true!

## 2016

### Heroes of the Storm - IN BETA: NEXUS LANE VIEW!

*Champions of the Nexus: we've heard your feedback, your ideas, your hunger for more Heroes of the Storm. And more than any question of balance or mechanical tweaks, more than any new Hero requests or evocative skin ideas, the question we hear most often from the strongest voices in the Heroes of the Storm community is: “Can I zoom in farther on your official website?”*

*We can finally tell you the answer to that question. Yes. Today, we’re proud to announce a way to zoom in so far, you’ll zoom directly into the Nexus.*

*That’s right: Nexus Lane View.*

## 2015

### Heroes of the Storm - INTRODUCING: BIG HEAD MODE

* *Experience enhanced collision using Facecheck™ technology as you run headfirst into tall grass and bushes and scour for your enemies!*
* *An all-new set of unique character dialogue brings to life these familiar Heroes as you’ve never heard them before.*
* *Get closer to your beloved Heroes and get a new perspective on your favorite Battlegrounds, just watch out for low-hanging branches!*
* *Be wary fighting against opponents who specialize in headshots. Just because your character has more innate charisma now doesn’t mean that Nova will show you any mercy!*
* *Bonus features: Many models have received HD upgrades to their heads and hair, adding increased size and fidelity to their brazen beards, majestic antlers, stunning mandibles, and more.*

## 2014

### PAJAMATHUR HERO SPOTLIGHT

*All great geneticists get their start somewhere, and for Pajamathur, that moment came shortly after he was created by the Overmind from a collection of many species. Ever since that day, he’s worked to harness his innate talent to improve and enhance the Swarm, while also making sure he gets enough naptime. Staying well-rested and well-equipped with a variety of toys is key to his success, and he’s just the jammie-wearing zerg you want on your team when you’re working to undermine the efforts of your enemies.*
Adjutant

Title
 Race
 Affiliation

**Adjutants** are a form of artificial intelligence utilized by the terrans. Adjutants appear as announcer on Warhead Junction and Braxis Holdout. Another one provided the voiceovers for SCVs at the start of matches during the Xel'Naga Artifact Hunt, as they try to retrieve Xel'Naga Artifacts. Adjutant also can be unlocked as an custom announcer in *Heroes of the Storm*.

## Background

Adjutants are sometimes simply addressed as "computer", though they're physically humanoid in design. Much of their programming is based off of of the ATLAS AI that guided the terrans to the sector hundreds of years prior. Terran commanders understand the value that adjutants bring, as their ever-present gaze over the field of battle offers a strategic edge, and helps commanders keep their troops in line. Their functions include navigation, administration, decryption, presenting history, acting as advisers for terran commanders, storing recipes and storing data. When playing an audio feed, their eyes change color in accordance with speaker.

The adjutant of Warhead Junction became erratic after years of disrepair, and began dispensing nuclear warheads to any and all who come to collect them

## Notes

* A description of the Adjutant can be found within the game data: *"The Warhead Junction adjutant has seen better days. She has dutifully served as the administrator a nuclear facility in disrepair for decades and her constant service is beginning to affect her. Her AI is erratic, her personality inconsistent and possibly even dangerous. Who better to have in control of your nukes?"*
* Her attitude is described within the games data as "*Intelligent, Detached, Occasionally Breaks and becomes Erratic*"

**Ashenvale** was an considered battleground for *Heroes of the Storm*, prior to the conceptualization of the Nexus. It was removed as it did not feel right for the hero of Malfurion to be killing his fellow night elves.

## Trivia

* The map was based on the forest of the same name from the *Warcraft* series.

Blackthorne

Title

This article is about the hero, Blackthorne. For the franchise, see Blackthorne (franchise).
**Blackthorne** is a proposed hero hero from the Blackthorne franchise.

Blackthorne was listed as a hero character in 2013. As of December 2014, concepts for him exist. At BlizzCon 2017, Blackthorne's inclusion was again considered, but no date could be given.

In September 2020 Lead Game Designe Brett Crawford said: *Oh my, how did I not expect this to be asked…who would have guessed that so many people are in love with Kyle Blackthorne! His name is brought up to me almost every day – at this point it has become a meme around the (virtual) office. While I would be super excited to see him enter the Nexus, I am holding strong picket-lines for a few other crowd-favorites first.*
