The history of the Aion Elyos

 

 

When Aion sent the Empyrean Lords to guard the Tower of Eternity from , he created a magical force known as the that the Lords could tap into. Over time, humans began to connect with this magical power, and the grew abilities far beyond mortal men and women. Now armed with incredible strength, the ability of flight, and other mystical powers, these creatures were known as Daeva. As time, their numbers began to grow to the point where the Empyrean Lords began to use them as an army to fight the Balaur in what would become known as the Millenium War.

Over the centuries of fighting, the Empyrean Lords and Balaur both began to tire of their losses, and the Empyrean Lords began to suggest a peace. The issue heavily divided the Lords, as half of them believed that they should continue to fight. Eventually, 7 of the Lords became convinced that peace was the correct path, and they extended an invitation to the Balaur over the objections of the remaining five Lords. Meeting at the Tower of Eternity, both sides seemed willing to engage in an actual peace treaty. However, during the meeting something went wrong and, for reasons unknown, one of the Balaur Dragon Lords was slain. Enraged, the Balaur attacked the Tower and shattered it, splitting the very anchor that held the world in two.

 

 

Two of the Empyrean Lords gave their life to prevent Atreia from drifting into space, but the damage was already done. Now the two halves of the planet were split in two and divided by the mystical Abyss. The remaining Empyrean Lords were split into two camps of 5 each; those who believed that the peace treaty had been the right move, and those who did not. Those who did became known as the Seraphim Lords, and they took their army of Daeva to the bottom half of the newly split world. This new land was beautiful and radiant, and these Daeva began to believe that they were the chosen ones of Aion.

Calling this new land Elysea and adopting the name the Elyos, this new faction blamed the other 5 Empyrean Lords (now known as the Shedim Lords and their armies, believing that they had sabotaged the peace process and thus caused the destruction that destroyed the world. Vowing to protect the remains of the Tower of Eternity that rest on their lands, the Elyos went about rebuilding their kingdom, unaware that Shedim Lords and their army of Daeva still lived on the other side of the Abyss. Both kingdoms would have peace for centuries until portals to the Abyss began to pop up, allowing the two sides to access each other. Realizing that the other factions were still alive, the Elyos engaged in a brutal war with their rivals that still lasts to this day.
