EU.AionOnline.com News: The History of Atreia, Part II

[Mark]

From EU.AionOnline.com's news feed:

The history of Atreia is as inspiring and immersive as the game itself, and every now and then we receive a token of wisdom and insight from some of those who are most knowledgeable of it. A new chapter each has been added to the Elyos and Asmodian background stories. The experiences and writings of Rafaela, a human living in the bright and vivid Elysea, can be found in the Elyos part of our website’s Background section. If you however wish to rather explore the history of Atreia from an Asmodian perspective, head on over to Kineas, an ascended Asmodian Daeva who will certainly invite you to learn more of his people’s tough struggle.

I don't think we'll see -any- updates to the NA site as it is right now. My feeling is there will be a merger coming soon and we'll have a single NCWest site. For now, I consider the EU site to be the fore-runner for that.

Anyhoo...

Nice to get some more lore, always nice to get new info to pick up the middle of the week

That I'm sure, just wondering why they can't even be bothered with a redirect.

WOW...it was amazing to read the formation of what have come to be known as the Balaur. Riveting!!

Kind of sad how we get excited over 8 paragraphs.

I know, right :S

+1 on this post.

A very interesting read. Who knew that the Balaur went from strong disorganised to strong organised along with a change in appearance practically over night.

Well, I'm a lore wh0re, so this made my day. I've been hoping for someone to translate all the chapters on the Korean site Thanks, NCW!

Here's hoping that Chapter 3 doesn't take as long as Chapter 2 did

[Raezor]

I'm tempted to save all of the history chapters out of game, and if there will be, history books in game, and roleplay as a historian of some sort, sounds like a pretty interesting character background for Roleplaying if you ask me.



My character shall be Siris Holyway, Eye of Atreia, Successor to Historian Rafaela!

Interesting...

Now of course there isn't just one eye to the face of Atreia, there has to be another, I take the place as the Eye for the Elyos, so who will play the other Eye. The Eye for the Asmodians.

I can't seem to understand this. The chinese version will come before the EU/US version. But it seems like they stopped working on the EU/US version to launch the chinese version.

My point is that did all the ones working on the english version take a break?
I bet they don't all speak chinese, so why can't they launch the english version around the same time as the chinese?

[ANIMEniac]

mmm i might have beaten u to the punch on this one mark :P http://www.aionsource.com/forum/gene...more-lore.html

but i cant tell cause im not sure if my posts are in the right timezone :P

[The Ten]

So, the gist I get of this is:
The Elyos believe that the Balaur were initially supported and favoured by Aion, and then turned on him.
The Asmodians believe they are just evil creatures who wanted Aion's power.

I am intrigued! Were the Balaur 'God's favoured children' or were they not?

What is history but a fable agreed upon? - Napoleon.

Truth is an impossibility.

Aion is a Korean developed MMORPG... it will arrive in that market first... concurrent localization has been taking place since very early on in the development cycle, and other markets will see their release in (approximately) 2 month intervals after the Korean launch next year...
