AION 2 Factions and Classes Overview
- ElyosLight
- AsmodiansDark
AION 2 features two playable factions, Elyos (Light) and Asmodians (Dark), and nine specialized classes. Every character begins as an Adventurer and later specializes into one of the nine classes, each of which can be played by both factions and either gender. The Elyos and Asmodian servers are separated, so characters from the two factions cannot meet under normal circumstances.
