Though I initially wasn't a fan of the Aman, this has by far been my favorite bit of lore! Translated by one of our newest team members,
y71s73, check out the history of the Aman below!
History of the Aman
Sporting fierce visages of powerful beasts, the Aman have persevered through a history rife with conflict.
The Aman are a warrior race, having been embroiled in constant warfare with the other races since the beginning of time. Since the time that their father and creator, Amarune, gave life to the Aman during the Age of Deities, they have engaged their neighboring races in ceaseless battle. Following the death of Amarune, the Aman became enslaved to the Republic of Giants in its quest for continental supremacy.
Recent times have seen the Aman continue to serve the front line in the defense of the Valkion Coalition from the Argon invaders. Having been inured to a constant struggle for supremacy and pursuit of ambition, the Aman experienced a rebirth into a race that valued freedom, prestige, and self-sacrifice following their long ordeal of enslavement. This transformation contributed greatly to the acceptance of the Aman into the ranks of the multi-racial Valkion Coalition.
The Aman possess imposingly ferocious and mighty physiques and powerful willpower cultured over many years of fighting as warriors. They value and show pride in their aspiration for prestige.
Daban the Liberator
After succumbing to the ancient Giant race, the Giants branded the Aman with a seal of subjugation that enabled their enslavement. Due to this seal, the Giants were able to control the Aman and sent many to fight and die in their wars over the course of many hundreds of years.
Amidst such adversity and misery rose one Aman warrior, enraged by the endless brutality suffered by his people at the hands of the Giants, named Daban. Daban traveled to the Altar of the Deities and set himself on fire in an extreme plea for an end to the terrible subjugation of the Aman.
The pain and cries of this young Aman warrior moved the patron deity Kaia. With the help of Castanic master craftsmen, Kaia succeeded in nullifying the seal of subjugation. Liberated from the shackles of the seal, the Aman revolted against the Giants, finally winning their freedom after a long and hard fought campaign.
Daban, the young warrior who served as the key to opening the door to the Aman's freedom, was thereafter revered as the Liberator, and statues commemorating him can easily be found throughout territories inhabited by the Aman.
The Impenetrable Kaiador
Kaiador is the fortress city built by the Aman to honor Kaia, the patron deity who saved the Aman in their darkest hour, as well as to house her in her earthbound state, isolated from other gods. This fortress city, erected in the northern part of the Shara continent, is a significant hub supporting the Valkion Coalition. It serves as the sole stronghold blocking the encroachment of the alien Argon invaders.
One of the most interesting things about this bit of lore is that we are able to learn more about the deities of Arborea and also learn the name of one of the continents,
Shara. That's pretty huge!
I don't believe we've seen any real pictures of their home city yet, what do you think it'll be like?
This lore also talks more about the Giants, who have been mentioned in the lore of the "
Desert Shelter" zone. What do you think of these Giants?
