Exploring Lore - Understanding the Story Behind Aion

Posted Fri, Aug 07, 2009 by Shayalyn

But a deeper understanding of the game world you're about to inhabit can lead to a richer experience, especially in a game with lore as compelling as Aion's. We've prepared a summary that wraps everything you need to know about thousands of years of Aion lore into a tidy nutshell.
