[Ayase]

This was made from the Press Event we held recently, but the lore is quite intricate and perhaps overwhelming to take in all at once, so I understand that a few thigns were mixed up by some of the journalists.

Super-short version:

Aion created the world. Five Dragon Lords overthrew his rule. 12 Empyrean Lords, created in the image of humans, were made by Aion to counter the Dragon Lords and bring back balance. These Empyrean Lords would eventually split up and become the Elyos and Asmodians.
