The Asmodian Introduction
It wasn’t always like this. At one time the two sides of this world were as one, we were united as brothers. We looked the same, we had the same ideals and we shared a common purpose, to protect the Tower of Eternity. When they failed, they destroyed everything. Our world, our people were ripped apart.
In the lower half of this world, you will find a shallow, yet charmed existence tempered with sin, greed and gluttony, misplaced pride and crushing arrogance. Here you will find the Elyos, a despicable breed of creature whose soulless existence is devoted to decimating everything that is good in this world. Don’t be fooled by their saintly appearance, beneath that pallid skin lays nothing but darkness.
The upper half of this world is where we, the Asmodians, call home. After the Epic Cataclysm we were thrust into darkness, into the unknown, and we had no other choice than to adapt and to survive. Each and every day our world taught us something new, opened our eyes to new possibilities and gave us the unwavering strength to rebuild our lives once again. It is through our experiences that we have achieved so much, it isn’t every day you are given the opportunity to start over, to right your wrongs.
But wait, I am getting ahead of myself. First an introduction, my name is Kineas and I am a Daeva, a being created during the great struggle against the Balaur. I, along with my people, have done everything necessary to secure our rightful place in Atreia, and we will do anything to protect what is rightfully ours. If it’s war the Elyos crave, then it’s war they shall have. The time for peace is long gone, all we have time for now is retribution.
After all that has happened in our world, I feel it is my duty to set the record straight about the events that bring us here to this very day. I have written this diary to recount the years that led to our current standing, maybe you will come to understand what caused this world of ours to change so.
Come now - read, and learn what it is to be an Asmodian!
