The Elyos are a
beautiful and
radiant people. The
Cataclysm separated
them from the
Asmodians and left
them to thrive in a
bountiful world
bathed in golden
light and starlight.
Elyos are
comforting, warm,
and friendly, but
against foes, they
are not kindly or
benevolent. The
ascended forms of
Elyos Daevas have
stunning, angelic
wings, and their
immense strength
belies their
graceful appearance.
The splendor of the
Elyos physical form
and the colorful,
fertile land the
Elyos live in has
also led them to
become arrogant. The
Elyos believe that
they are blessed by
Aion, while the
Asmodians, cast into
darkness by the
Cataclysm, are seen
by the Elyos as
twisted and cursed
creatures.
The Elyos occupy the
lower half of Atreia,
known as Elysea.
Their capital city
is Sanctum. The
Elyos serve the five
Seraphim Lords who
guided them to
safety when all
seemed lost. The
stump of the Tower
of Eternity that
stands on Elysea is
known as the Tower
of Light. It serves
as a constant
reminder to the
Elyos people of the
terrible mistake
perpetuated by the
Asmodian people and
their Shedim Lords. |

The Asmodians are a brave and hardy people. The Cataclysm
separated them from the Elyos and plunged them into a world of ice and
darkness. To survive such desolation is one thing, but to thrive and
prosper as the Asmodians did is quite another. Asmodian skin is pale or
dusky, and their eyes have adapted to low light by gaining an
otherworldly glow that is most pronounced during combat. Ascended
Asmodian Daevas are blessed with strength and the ability to fly, and
their feathered wings are dark in color.
Asmodians are generous and fiercely loyal to their own. Asmodians would
sooner give their lives in battle than see the life of a comrade taken
away. They do not think twice before fighting ferociously against
outsiders, showing little or no mercy against Elyos especially.
Asmodians live in the upper half of Atreia, known as
Asmodae. Their capital city is Pandaemonium. They follow the Shedim
Lords, the five Empyrean Lords ordered by Siel and Israphel to protect
the upper foundation of the Tower of Eternity, which is now known as the
Tower of Darkness. |

The
term "Balaur"
invokes images of
terror and fear in
the hearts of humans
in both halves of
Atreia. A mighty and
highly intelligent
race created by the
god, Aion, to care
for and rule
Atreia's population,
the Balaur quickly
became fixated with
power and
domination. Their
aggression
eventually led the
god to create the
twelve Empyrean
Lords to safeguard
the planet and its
people.
After
a long and vicious
war against the
Empyrean Lords, the
Balaur were involved
in the destruction
of the Tower of
Eternity during a
meeting intended to
negotiate peace. The
Tower's destruction
cast the Balaur into
the Abyss, an
unstable rift
between the two
shattered halves of
Atreia where the
center of the Tower
used to be.
Recently, however,
the Balaur have
managed to escape
from their prison,
and they threaten
this fragile world
with their fury once
again. |
