Southern Shara was home to the Giants during the War of Gods, a desert with nothing but sand and ruins. With the power of the High Elves, this once barren area has come alive. High Elves themselves call Allementhia the 'Pearl within the Desert.' The city is well known for its beauty, technology and magic.

*NEW GEAR! New pieces of gear are added for each class and race. There are many types you can get, some you can only get from dungeons or some through battlefields.
3. The Political System
Archons are chosen through server wide elections or through battlefields. Once elected they will have the power to reposition guard NPCs and become the most politically powerful person.
To use such abilities as an Archon, you will need to acquire Archon Points and those can be acquired by Archon guild quests or guild recommandation.
*The Beginning of real PvP, battlefield system.
5 vs 5 battlefields
5 vs 5 battlefields will be the most basic. They function as team deathmatches. Whoever scores the most points will win and points are earned by killing your opponents. Whoever gets 1000 points first, wins!
10 vs 10 battlefields
10 vs 10 battlefields will require more strategy. Winning depends on how long you can hold strategic areas. There will be three areas to hold and rather than killing your opponents you will want to focus on holding the grounds.
Battlefield Commanders
Each team will have one commander. The commander can lead their allies within chat. 10 vs 10 Battlefields will let Commanders use special Commander only skills.

Valkyon Medals can be used to level up the guild or buy guild buffs or medal items.
*Dream of Archon, Your Choice and the Political system.
Electing the Archon
We are currently preparing elections for the Arun and Shara continents. If you are a Guild Master you can apply to become the Archon and when you become the Archon you get to become the Lord of one continent. Will you become a good Archon or a bad one? The choices on who gets picked and how they act is all depending on you.
Archon's rights.
Archons can change how the taxes are applied around the continent.
An Archon and its guild will get new mounts that are faster than their current one. They can place Priest or Skill teaching NPCs to help players have a much smoother Experience.
All the above acts cost archon points and they can be acquired through Guild Quests or winning Battlefields.
