Aion - The Tower of Eternity

The History of Atreia
Read the history of this once peaceful planet and you will find a story littered with tragedy and death. Many centuries ago, the Asmodians of upper Atreia and the Elyos of lower Atreia were one people. There was neither divide nor difference between them; indeed they embraced each other as brothers. Now they are each burdened with an unrelenting and deep-rooted hatred of the other, and meet with drawn swords instead of open arms.

The events that caused this division have been transcribed below by each side, and though there are common truths in both stories, it has become apparent that both also feature mistaken beliefs and clouded waters. These misconceptions soon became folklore, then historical fact, as each side looked for someone to blame for the Epic Cataclysm which ripped their world asunder.

Read on, and find the truth in both before you cast judgement on either.

What is Aion?

A Class of Your Own
Choose from four unique character classes, gain experience and advance in one of two specialised classes. Your decisions will determine your path through Atreia, make them wisely...

Explore the Unknown
Discover the inside of a world broken in two, where the only thing that connects either side is an unstable and perilous rift known as the Abyss. Choose between two divine factions, the Asmodian or the Elyos, and save your people from an ancient evil that threatens to destroy everything in its path.

A New Breed of Combat
Battle for control of valuable strongholds and artefacts within the Abyss, a hotley contested battlefield resting between the upper and lower halves of Atreia. Plan and execute raid against rival factions, earn special ranks and rewards through victory, and prepare for unexpected attacks by the Balaur (Monsters), an ancient race freed from imprisonment within the Abyss.

Fight or Flight
Engage in a spectacular and evolving combat system utilising combos, skill chains, counter-attacks and spectacular aerial combat. Group with friends or fly solo in the Abyss, where attacks can come from any direction. Experience the thrill of combat like never before.

The Power of Creation
Totally customise your character through an incredibly in-depth character creation tool, advanced crafting systems and detailed item customisation. Take individuality to a new level the innovative Stigma system, allowing characters to utilise and combine skills and abailities not normally available to that particular character's class.
