The chronicles of Lineage II unfold with one of the most defining moments in Aden’s history: The Battle for Giran. What began as a fragile alliance between races soon spiraled into chaos, as ambition and betrayal fueled the fires of war. In Chronicle 1, Harbingers of War, the seeds of mistrust and rebellion first took root in the Human kingdoms. Once-thriving lords of Gludio and Dion fell, their castles seized by adventurers and rebels, while the king stood powerless to intervene. In this atmosphere of turmoil, the jewel of the Human realm—Giran Castle—became the stage for a decisive clash. The defenders, led by Lionna Blackbird, a young commander entrusted with the fate of the land, stood against overwhelming odds. Her forces of Elves, priests, and loyal foot soldiers braced themselves against the storm of mercenaries, Dark Elves, and Orcs led by the cunning Sieghardt Ein. From the mysterious Red Wolf Brotherhood to the colossal Black Anvil golems, the siege of Giran tested every alliance, strategy, and ounce of courage. But war in Aden is never just about castles—it is about destiny. Heroes like Erica Ken Weber, the proud Destroyer Shakdun, and the mystics of the Ivory Tower all played their part in shaping the outcome. The victory was hard-fought, the losses immeasurable, and the throne of Giran forever changed hands.
