In Aion 2, the Dragon Lords are the powerful rulers of the Balaur and the main antagonists of the story. The game takes place about 200 years after the original Aion, and introduces two new Dragon Lords—Ishtar and Fafnir—who rise to power after the deaths of the old leaders like Tiamat and Ereshkigal.
List of Dragon Lords in Aion 2
- Ishtar: One of the two main Balaur leaders. After the Imperial Lords sacrificed themselves to create the Bulwark barrier, Ishtar fell into a deep sleep. Some players think Ishtar is related to Inanna from the original Aion, a hybrid of human and Balaur who wanted Apsu's relic to become more powerful.
- Fafnir: The other leader who, along with Ishtar, caused destruction in Atreia after the celestial barrier collapsed. Fafnir was later sealed behind a "Blood Barrier" thanks to the Imperial Lords' sacrifice.
- Legacy Lords: Tiamat and Ereshkigal were key figures in the first game but are now dead by the time Aion 2 starts. However, players can still feel their influence through powerful "Dragon Lord" class weapons and special dungeon content.
The Shadow of the Dragon Lords
When the celestial barrier disappeared, Atreia turned into a battleground. Ishtar and Fafnir brought devastation, engulfing Poeta in flames and shadows. Countless lives were lost as the Dragon Lords' reign spread beyond the barrier.
