In the beginning the Balaur roamed the world of Atrea. These dragon like beings were eventually expelled by the Daeva, the God like beings created by the central God Aion. Later the Elyos and Asmodians, two warring factions along with the return of the Balaur eventually destroyed the link between the two halves of the world: The Tower of Eternity. The world now has the appearance of an “eaten apple” with the equator completely gone. Now the three factions fight for the dominance over all of Atrea.
The game is constantly taking in input from its community on what they want. This open discussion between developers and the gaming community is highly rewarding as the game continues to develop and innovate beyond expectations. Wikipedia
