The Asmodian are one of the central races embroiled in Aion’s endless struggle for power. Although they bear similarities to what we would refer to as demons, the background and history behind the Asmodians is fundamentally different. Sharing the same origins with the Elyos, the Asmodian evolved into their current form, now reduced as the lesser race in Aion, due to being thrust into the darker half of the planet. Without receiving the light and warmth of the sun, they naturally adapted, growing darker in complexion and adapting talons and claws able to rip and tear, along with black wings and a mane that grows from between their shoulders and runs down their backs.
In the beginning, the Elyos and Asmodians were both a part of a sacred race in charge of protecting the Tower of Eternity. During the Millennium Wars the protectors were divided into two factions. Following the tragic destruction of the Tower in the Great Cataclysm, the two sides turned on one another, each blaming the other for the Tower’s demise, and became bitter enemies. The two races are now sworn to eternal retribution, consumed by a burning hatred and desire to exact revenge.

Under the control of Asphel, the lord of darkness, the inhabitants of the Asmodian kingdom of Asmodae, whilst resolute in their crusade against the Elyos, must also remain alert against the Balaur who watch vigilantly for a chance to attack.
