History of Aelion: Nerion’s Castle
It’s hard to miss the colossal statue of Nerion upon his thrown that gazes over Lanber Forest and Kyris. Below this monument lies Nerion’s Castle, residence to one of Aelion’s young gods, governer of the Lanber lands, and traitor to his motherland!
History
Nerion came to power relatively recently, about a half a century ago, and wished to construct his sanctuary in a mountainous area near Kyris. An enormous impenetrable fortress and gigantic statue were erected in no time, becoming a landmark and source of pride of the Lanber region.
Nerion’s followers, pilgrims and pleaders, who wished to visit the god’s house used to gather at the foot of the castle, eager to just catch a glimpse at the objects of their prayers. However, not everyone made it to their destination.
Getting to the castle was not easy – the long winding road to the top of the mountain is exhausting for an ordinary man. This is probably what Nerion accounted for when he selected this location for his castle. Having such an easy location to protect against potential enemies is most ideal, of course.
It turned out that Nerion really had enemies but at the time, they weren’t hostile to the rest of Aelion! It’s still unclear what Nerion was thinking when he signed a pact with the Mantide army. Having let the beasts loose on the citizens of his valley, he set every human on the planet against himself. Power, granted to him by the aliens, will hardly help him stand against the anger of Aelion’s gods.
Soon after the beginning of the invasion he disappeared from sight. It’s likely that he’s hiding away from the world in his huge fortress, guarded by a horde of his loyal followers and insectoid minions.
Current Situation
Lanber Valley is overflowing with beasts which block the path to Nerion’s hideout. There are even more of them lurking around the foot of the young god’s castle. Clearly, there’s an entire legion inside, guarding their new master from any unwelcome guests. From the looks of it, squads of Templars are also patrolling the castle’s approach, seemingly enacting a zero tolerance policy to intruders.
Any immortals who dare to step on the road to this hostile domain will have to meet face-to-face with the might of Nerion’s forces.
Pantheon Wars Start Tomorrow!
With the release of the War Eternal update, the second season of Pantheon Wars are coming to Aelion -Massive battles, huge rewards, and the expansion of Aelion’s technology are right around the corner. We’ll have more details regarding understanding the functionality of the Pantheon Wars below, but first let’s dive right into the scheduling!
The Pantheon Wars will take place every two (2) weeks, consisting of an Auction on Saturday and battles on Sunday. Auctions will begin at 7pm server time (PST/CET) and last for two hours, ending at 9pm server time. On Sunday, pending any potential changes, the three battle stages are scheduled to start at 7pm, 8:30pm, and 10pm server time. The timeframe you’ll battle in is dependent on factors such as if you’re attacking or defending, if the other Pantheon is attacking or defending against a third Pantheon, and so on.
Auction & Battle Dates
Mark your Calendars! Be aware that there will be a delay between the second and third Pantheon War to compensate for the holidays.
• December 3rd & 4th
• December 17th & 18th
• January 7th & 8th
• January 21st & 22nd

History of Aelion: Thandi Drilling Station
Located within an abandoned zone inside the Milene Caves complex, we make a visit to what was once one of the biggest mineral mining centers on Aelion – Thandi Drilling Station.
History
Thandi Drilling Station actually remained active until only a few months ago, where rare minerals were mined around the clock. In complete disregard to the advice provided related to the elevated seismic activity of the region, mining work kept going at full power for quite some time. The big drill’s vibration eventually caused fractures of subsurface platforms, resulting in the collapse of a few mine shafts. After a number of tragic accidents at the drilling station were made public, the corporate owner of the device was liable to pay compensation to the victim’s families. The losses dented the corporation’s finances but didn’t put an end to it. Something else did…
As was discovered later, some nasty creatures had nested in the immediate vicinity of the mineral deposits. Vipers, having arrived on Aelion during one of the previous invasions, had awoken from hibernation due to the noisy drilling. Workers managed to be victorious during the first fight against the vipers, but new outbreaks of aggression followed to the point of becoming a regular occurrence. In the end, the beasts made a final attempt to wipe out the drilling station: Many people had lost their lives, most of the equipment was destroyed, and the station was doomed. Any equipment that still remains goes unattended, slowly gathering rust in the underground tunnels.
Current Situation
Thandi Drilling Station became a shelter for underground vipers, the very vipers who once drove people out of the mines. It’s unclear what attracted their attention, but Wardens of Fire recently emerged from the depths and appear to be keeping the vipers company. This strange activity, as one would expect, managed to attract the attention of Aelion’s high commanders!
The necessary preparations are being made to begin sending immortals to the drilling station to liberate it from the unwelcome guests and provide safety for future repair efforts. Get ready, immortals, there’s a lot of clean-up to do!

Developer's Letter: Council of Gods
Two months ago, together with the Ascension update we announced a major innovation - the Council of Gods. It was due to come into the game in one of the first patches after the Ascension release, but the global update required urgent corrections and completion of work on the political system had to be postponed. This saved us from irreparable errors.
The excitement about the news of the Council of Gods, the many questions and wide interest in it has made us take a new look at the political system under development. "Does it meet the player expectations?, does it satisfy their requirements?" - we have asked ourselves questions likes these, evaluating the Council of Gods version to be introduced to the game. And the answers were not positive. We feel that the Council of Gods feature under development has not reached the level that players want.
Therefore, we have been forced to make a difficult decision and the political system will be reviewed. The concept requires a serious rethink and many of the mechanisms will need to be redesigned from scratch. This means that the Council of Gods will not be arriving in the game soon. We are very sad that this innovation has to be postponed. But it is our desire to deliver well developed innovations that has made up our minds.
We plan to take some time-out with the development of the political system. Naturally, everyone wants to know when it will arrive. We can say that it will not be earlier than next year. Developers are currently completing work on other innovations that have been announced and working on improving the game according to player comments. Nevertheless, thanks to your questions and comments about the Council of Gods, we know what direction we need to follow to make the system truly entertaining.
We invite all those interested in the fate of the political system to discuss this news on the forum. We hope you will share your ideas on the Council of Gods with us. We will certainly take them into account in our work.

History of Aelion: Saffire Air Dockyard
Weapons are produced in massive quantities on Aelion as constant alien threats leave the defenders with no other choice. Laboratories and plants produce hundreds and thousands of weapons or vehicles every day without a break, each one staffed by a large number of people.
The core of every science laboratory is a small group of specialists consisting of talented scientists that are able to develop an uncompromising solution for any problem presented to them. That is why Aelion’s military facilities hire only the best of the best, as they are expected to function quickly and effectively as a single unit.
Aelion’s new research laboratory, Saffire Air Dockyard, is equipped with the most advanced technology and has a similar group of scientists under its roof. From day one, they have been working under Flavius’s authority and collaborating with the commanders of Aelion’s army. They are responsible for developing the new generation of weapons, vehicles, and equipment that will replace obsolete units that our defenders are currently using.
The laboratory started its work by launching the production of several new prototypes created with the help of Flavius. At the closed presentation that took place within the research facility’s territory, the scientists presented new weapons of massive destructive power, new models of tanks, and other combat vehicles.
Their creations were well received and command gave the go-ahead to start delivering them to Aelion’s hot spots. Due to the importance of this laboratory, the security in the surrounding area has been doubled. The entire facility’s work efforts are carried out in strict secrecy to eliminate any chance of the new blueprints ending up on the black market or even in the hands of our enemies.
Unfortunately, these measures were not enough to prevent an attack. The Mechanoid army managed to locate the laboratory and launched an assault on the facility. The guards attempted to hold off the invaders but their numbers proved too much for the mortals. Mechanoids swarmed the territory, overtaking assembly halls, warehouses, dwelling units, and laboratories.
Aelion lost many scientists, laboratory assistances, and technicians, not to mention the guards that put up a gallant resistance until their last breath.
Immortals! Head to this overrun facility, search for any survivors that may remain, and put a stop to whatever terrifying plans the Mechanoids may have!
