Balaur

Aion Online

Balaur fungerar som en datorstyrd vågmästare, som kommer attackera den sida som ligger i överläge, för att på så sätt se till att spelets balans tillvaratas.

Balaur (tidigare kända som Drakarna) är en av de tre raserna involverat i Aions unika PvPvE system. Balaur är server kontrollerade NPCs.

Aions Producent, Ju-hyun Jang, sa detta om Balaur: (citat på engelska)

"The [Balaur] are a server-controlled NPC faction, so players cannot choose to play them. However, just because they are controlled by the server doesn't mean they are stupid; they can make choices, and players will never quite know what they are going to do. For example, imagine a castle siege-style scenario, where one of the player factions, the [Asmodians], is attacking the [Elyos] faction's castle. In the middle of this siege, the [Balaur] may appear.

When they arrive, no-one will know what they are going to do. They may have previously helped the [Asmodians], but that doesn't matter; in the siege, they might betray them and help the [Elyos]. Or they might help the [Asmodians] to siege the [Elyos'] castle. Or... they might try and take the castle for themselves, fighting against both the [Elyos] and the [Asmodians].

The important thing to realize is that the [Balaur] are not typical NPCs. They are the third faction in the game, and they have free will, which makes them very unpredictable."

[redigera] Lore

The term Balaur is one that is generally spoken in hushed tones, such is the level of destruction that they caused, and continue to cause, in Atreia. A mighty and highly intelligent race created by Aion to rule the planet, the Balaur quickly became fixated with power and servitude. Their obsession eventually threatened The Tower of Eternity after violating the restrictions that Aion placed on them, forcing the god to create the Empyrean Lords to safeguard the planet, and its people.

After a long and vicious war against the Empyrean Lords, the Balaur managed to destroy the Tower of Eternity during what was meant to be a meeting for peace. In retaliation, the Empyrean Lords banished the Balaur, sealing them inside the Abyss, an unstable rift between the two shattered halves of Atreia. Recently however, the Balaur have managed to escape from their prison, and threaten this fragile world with their fury once again.
