NCsoft opened the new European official site for Aion: the Tower of Eternity featuring screenshots, artworks, game history and so on.

The avatars that represent the player in Aion are unique beings called Daeva. Considered demigods, the Daeva are hybrids of omnipotent divinity and fragile mortality. Born from mortal beings, Daeva initially develop as any human would, but those blessed with the destiny of becoming a Daeva will show exceptional qualities early on in their lives. It is only through hardship or a significant event that a potential Daeva will awaken the dormant powers within and ascend as a true Daeva.

Daeva differ from common mortals in that they are able to control Aether (more on this coming soon). While it is theoretically possible for humans to control Aether, it would take a tremendous amount of effort and training; very few mortals have found success in their attempts. Even those that managed to acquire the skill found their abilities limited. It is understood and accepted that Daeva are fundamentally superior to mankind in this aspect.
