Press Release:
NCSoft release festive offers for Players of Aion, Guild Wars, City of Heroes, Lineage and Lineage II

The lands of Atreia, Tyria, Paragon City, and Aden are getting into the holiday spirit as NCsoft gives fans a plethora of in-game events and content to celebrate the season. Players of Aion, Guild Wars, City of Heroes, Lineage and Lineage II will find themselves delving deep into the lore of their favourite games as they participate in a variety of quests and events to save the holidays and honour the coming year.

Aion – Solorius Festival (16 th December – 6 th January)

Festive garb and fireworks signify the celebration of the Solorius Festival which honours all Daevas for their service to humanity. A proud tradition celebrated for centuries, it is a holiday that predates the sundering of Atreia, and is enjoyed by the Elyos and Asmodians in their respective capital cities.

Both Sanctum and Pandaemonium will come alive with music thanks to giant keyboards with playable keys for all Daevas to try test their acoustic skills on. Meanwhile, Solorius Shugo merchants will hawk festival wares and bakers will offer Solorius cakes and beverages that provide stat buffs for adventuring players. To find out more about the Solorius Festival and its activities, including the event dates, visit the official Aion website. Look for an in-game express mail letter to kick off the fun! Happy Solorius!
