With the sixth and final Closed Beta Test for NCsoft's newest title, Aion, beginning later today. Things are starting to get really interesting. YouTube is a haven for all things video, especially when it comes to gaming and a look at those which aren't yet out. Well, a Hungarian fansite has uncovered the Elyos and Asmodians origin videos and posted them on their Youtube channel. Both videos are short but packed with lore and done in a similar style to the Aion origins video we told you about last month.
Told from the perspective of a member of each race, the two videos narrate the first meeting of the Elyos and the Asmodians after years of separation. The Elyos blundered through a rift and a simple misunderstanding, perceived differently by each side, led to the start of a bitter feud. The Elyos believed the Asmodians were corruptions and that both them and their land must be destroyed, while the Asmodians feel it is their right to conquer the Elyos and their lush land simply because they believe they – and their Shedim Lords – were the ones who saved Atreia from complete destruction during the Cataclysm.
Juicy stuff, eh? Well check out the videos in their complete Korean glory after the jump (click on cc to get the English subtitles).

Did my heart good to see my bro get pissed and give up on this trash game. This new vid wont help it any. I even had the privelage clicking that button on his his preorder, said he couldnt do it (laugh).
He calls me over, so i relunctantly go because he said there were going to be player raids, interested i drive over and what do my ears detect? the pleasant sound of swearing.
Seems the brainless wonders of aion decided to let the current max level toons pvp the lower level folks to their hearts content, lol, didnt do anything for my brother, the best irony i could give him was this, and i quote my own words....
"you see the question mark in the opposing players level indicator......you should also be questioning yourself, why bother" i just grinned and said you know where the uninstall key is.
Back to dawn of discovery. He has wow to fallback on, the world keeps turning.

Yeah, that and you could try a bit harder to make some sense?
You went there relunctantly but interested? Do you have bionic hearing? How did you detect the sound of swearing while driving? Did he call you on your cellphone to swear? Does swearing even have a particular sound?
How is going back to the same old WoW a "dawn of discovery"? What's left to discover in WoW? Next patch?
And your quote, well... that's gotta be the least quotable quote ever. It's so unispired and lame it's not even fun.
All in all it's the most failure at writing a pedantic and overbaroque text i've seen since Aion's lore itself.
Maybe you should apply for a job at NCSoft, i hear they're writing more quests for 1.5, you should give them a hand!
