After Acension? PvP/E?

Searched didn't find much so I figured I'd ask around

I managed to Ascend my minion/death necro (was necro/ranger but the pet just got to be more trouble than helpful so i just respeced to pure necro).

So I'm at Droknars, got my new armor there (i assume this is best place for it? armor of 70 for a necro that is), and I'm wondering a few things;

After Droknars, what's next?

How long after Droknars do you have to go to get to the really high level hunting areas that cost 1 Plat to enter? (temple, underworld etc)

For "favor of the gods", is the hall of heroes a PvE thing or PvP? I assumed it was PvE and the winning guild/country kept the favor to get free entrance to high end hunting for item gaining which could as always, be unlocked on the PvP server?

I heard it was possible to switch your secondary after ascension, true/false? If so where can I do that?

head East for next mission town

available prior to Ascending - do a SEARCH on Underworld

True

to be eligible for Hero's Challenge quest
you have to do Hero's Journey Quest and complete one subclass quest

there are subclass quests at all 3 locations of the Hero's Journey quest

Ok cool, for the Hall of Heros, how do I get there?

win some PvP matches in Tombs (the Arena off of Dragons Lair)

From Dragon's Lair, enter the Tomb of Primeval Kings. The Hall of Heroes is the last PvP challenge in there.

If you go back to Dragon's Lair and hold down the alt button you will see an exit to Tombs(PvP). Once you win a random number of Tombs matches you will get to the Hall of Heroes. If you can win Hall of Heroes a random person in your team will receive a celestial sigil, and if you win HoH enough times you can win the favor of the gods.

It is basically an automated continous tournament system. There is only 1 Hall of Heroes battle going on at a time. You have to beat a large amount of teams (usually around 5-8, depending on what time it is) to get there. I have made it there myself with my guild, here are some screenshots.





These screenshots were taken while my team was waiting for the other teams to finish up their games to take place in the final battle.
