Lore

"Aurelion Sol once graced the vast emptiness of the cosmos with celestial wonders of his own devising. Now, he is forced to wield his awesome power at the behest of a space-faring empire that tricked him into servitude. Desiring a return to his star-forging ways, Aurelion Sol will drag the very stars from the sky, if he must, in order to regain his freedom."

Release Skin

Ashen Lord Aurelion Sol 1350 RP

Nurse Flan

"Aurelion Sol is now re-imagined as the deity of fire and the ash it leaves in its wake. Ashen Lord Aurelion Sol is not your typical "fire dragon," as he is more aligned with lava and the destructive nature of volcanos!

As a little tidbit, the concept artist drew a lot of design references from India and incorporated it into the style of this skin!

Completely new model (fire dragon!)

New particles for abilities! (much lava, wow!)

New recall! (so regal!)

New audio for abilities and recall! (burn-y!)

Set to be 1350RP* (pricing always subject to change) As players who get the first look at this in-progress skin, it would be wonderful to hear your thoughts and feelings on the new Ashen Lord skin! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]

See you on the Rift!"
