Chronicle 2: Age of Splendor represents the second major expansion of the Lineage II game world. Beautiful new 3-D environments, new quests, spells, monsters and enhancements will be added, making the ever-changing world of Aden an even more exciting and dynamic online experience.


Perhaps the single-most startling new resident to the land of Aden is Baium, the fallen king. A towering building tall enough to reach the heavens was to be his greatest achievement, but it became his prison – the Tower of Insolence. His conceit incited the wrath of the god Einhasad, who cursed him with immortality and confined him to the top of the tower. As Baium watched his kingdom collapse over the generations, he slowly went mad. After centuries, even his very form began to change. Now he waits atop the tower, grotesque, insane and monstrously powerful!

  
 

Those who wish to challenge Baium must face terrible obstacles. One cannot ascend the tower without the aid of rare, magical stones. Questing for these will be a harrowing ordeal in itself! Once inside the tower, adventurers must face Einhasad’s very own guardian angels, which have been charged with keeping Baium sealed inside for all time.
A mammoth Coliseum, much larger than any other arena, has been built near Aden Castle. Here, entire clans can prove their worth and settle grudges within the imposing walls of this massive battleground.
Ride-able mounts will be available to anyone who demonstrates the patience and dedication needed to care for a dragon hatchling. By leveling a hatchling high enough, it will become eligible for a quest that will allow it to become a Strider. These reptilian beasts can speed a rider across the land on its powerful legs. It can also serve as a valuable ally in battle using its formidable jaws!

After the collapse of the Elmore-Aden Empire, Lionel Hunter swore allegiance to King Raul, bringing Innadril into the Kingdom of Aden.

The presence of the goddess Eva is felt strongly throughout Innadril. Her lament quiets the beasts in the Field of Silence. Her blessing brings mysterious sounds to the Field of Whispers. She has also made a magnificent Underwater Garden, guarded by rare monsters and a gate that rarely opens. Humans and Elves live in the Floating City of Heines, surrounded by flowing water in honor of their patron goddess.

Do you want a chance to show off your artistic talent, and win cool prizes in the process? It’s time to throw down your hard-earned adena for the sake of art.

If you’ve been around, you probably know what adena art is. If you’re new to the game, or have spent the last several months wandering the wilderness in search of Master Toma, here’s the deal: You can drop one adena at a time in any arrangement you wish to create all kinds of images.

Feel free to start brainstorming, but don’t start laying down the adena just yet. Check the contest page for more details.
