Not all of us remember when the Tower fell, but some do.  We remember the chaos, the destruction, the fear—wondering if Aion had abandoned us to an uncertain fate.  A few voices rose above the clamor of fear and confusion to offer guidance and hope, and among these was Camniel, who founded the mighty legion Aetherium and sought to bring order out of chaos and to set our feet upon a path of righteousness.  He proclaimed we were Aion’s Chosen, and we followed him, heeded his wisdom, and slowly regained a sense of who we were, and who we wished to become.

The light of Aion shone down on us, bathing our land in radiant light, a visible reminder that God favored us still.  Us, His chosen people.  Under the warm light of the sun we reclaimed our rightful place and recreated some part of the greatness that was, and we existed in relative peace and prosperity.

Until the Darklings came.

They creep out of shadowed ruins, bringing death and destruction—a foul plague upon our blessed land.  They covet the aether that Aion gifted us with, and they have attained a warped form of our own powers—a grotesque mockery of our beauty and grace.  Not only must we contend with the Balaur, who’ve threatened us since before the Cataclysm, but we must now contend with these dark beasts, who would steal what is rightfully ours.

We are the Blessed of Aion, and we shall do what we must to maintain God’s grace.  We shall fight those who threaten our world, and the screams of our fallen enemies shall rise like a hymn of praise to Aion.

Walk in the Light, brethren.  Fight for the Light.

As the drums of war sound ever louder, Aetherium is actively pursuing Elysian Daeva to swell its ranks. If you feel you are of the calibre to round our numbers, please submit an application!

A statement was released today from the Legion Aetherium.  Councilor Aerys of the Legion stated that they were making final preparations for their assault on the Abyss, mentioning that the Shedim Lord Lumiel was their target.  "She (Lumiel) had betrayed our Lady of Light, Ariel, and for this offence she will be brought to justice." he said.  "Look out Lumiel, we are coming."

Aetherium launches successfully at 5pm, Eastern Time, on the Nezekan Server for Open Beta! Lord Camniel is shown above, with the first Legion roster!

Aetherium put on a splendid display today as dozens of their legionaries marched through the streets of Sanctum, armed and armored and with banners flying.

The parade marked the 7th Centenary anniversary for the Legion.  When asked about the Legion's involvement in the war, Councilor Aerys said "We will march all the way to the Abyss and bring the wrath of Aion down upon Balaur and Asmodian alike."
