| How to start | Automatically given to you when, after entering Solomon Island, you get close to Jack Boone for the first time. |
Primary story arc for the Solomon Island area. This quest will stay until all the steps are complete, and then automatically start one of three new quests; one for each faction: Templars; Sign of the Times. Dragon; Total Eclipse. Illuminati; Questions and Answers.
The first of three choices to serve or deny the "voices" spoken of by the light and dark angels at the beginning of the game. Take the gift or step off the cliff. The next is in Black Sun, Red Sand, and the final, in Mortal Sins.
Many changes have been made to the arc in Secret World Legends, including but not limited to incorporating the John Wolf missions and adding level requirements for later steps.
The previous missions, that lead the Secret Worlders to Agartha so they can travel to Solomon Island, are : Might Makes Right (Templars, Training Day (Illuminati), and Chaos Practice (Dragon).
Cassandra King's exit scene will leave many players not only wondering who she is, but why none of the factions seemed to have any more interest in or respect for her capabilities now, let alone before, than Beaumont did. And they will continue to wonder, for she is never seen again. The loosest of threads. It must be concluded she IS that scene, with no other connection to The Secret World. Disdained and ignored, only to turn coat and triumph.
