In the beginning there’s Aion created the world. It fills with life from fauna and flora to mortal humans, but then also created the terrible Drakan. The Tower of Eternity was physical manifestation of Aion, a beacon which frew all of humanity to worship their creator as well as a physical bridge between the two halvers of the planet.

The Books of the Elyos and Asmodians, which can be viewed on the game tell a day when the Drakan changed whir they forgot their task to safeguard Atreia and went rogue. Overseen by five Dragon Lorrds, the Drakan began to slaughter humanity and enslave the other sentient races of Areia, becoming the Balaur.

Different classes are identifiable by their early clothing. Even the most mundane things have a sparkle of magic about them. If the number of faces and forms, looks and likeness were not enough, the character creation process has a couple more tweaks up its sleeve. There’s a lot of detail from emotive look in the eyes to the way hair is bound in a clasp or braided. This is all important as your avatar will be taking a very active role in many of the cut-scenes used in the game. The nicest touches are the ability to give your toon little features like freckles or full on tattoos, that push them even further away from generic character models.
