In the beginning, Atreia was a single world formed around the Tower of Eternity. As the first inhabitants of Atreia, the "Draconic" race, the Balaur, became arrogant and powerful. They rebelled against Aion, the Creator of Atreia, and turned into a threat against Atreia itself. Hence, Aion sent twelve Gods to the world to face the Balaur and protect the pillar of the world, the Tower of Eternity. However, the world was devastated after a lengthy war without either side showing dominance.
When a sudden explosion shattered the Tower of Eternity, the Balaur were forced out of Simabandha and Atreia was split into two worlds that are unable to understand each other again. The divided two worlds become the "Angelic" realm, Elysea, and the "Demonic" realm, Asmodae. They are entangled in a bitter struggle to destroy the other side?ˉs remaining piece of the Tower for its own greed and survival. In this endless battle the existence of the Balaur constantly threatens the existence of the two races and provides a cause to prolong the endless struggle of the Elyos, Asmodians and the Balaur.
In addition, the destruction of the Tower of Eternity destabilized the energy flow of the world and a realm called the Abyss was created. The Abyss is a mysterious passage between the two worlds created after the great cataclysm. When the Abyss opens up, the Elyos and Asmodian realm's accumulated hatred for each other is amplified and the reemergence of the Balaur foretells yet another big war. Also, secret artifacts hidden from the Elyos and Asmodians that may allow them to control the Abyss start to be discovered one by one.
