The term “Balaur” invokes images of terror and fear for 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’s population (including the human races), 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.  The next guy is only slightly more difficult.  The Orissa of Horror will spawn and attack you.  These encounters are meant to be won so none of the enemies hit very hard or take much to destroy.  Before you defeat the Orissa of Horror, you will again be transported to a cutscene where you will witness the rest of the battle.

After a long and vicious war against the Empyrean Lords, the Balaur were involved in the destruction of the Tower of Eternity during an intended 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. All of this is meant to show you who you are and reveal you as a powerful warrior on the path of a Daeva.  Now that you know that you aren't simply a scout, warrior, mage, or priest you will choose which specialized path you wish to follow.
