Fans of Aion get their first glimpse at the home world of the mysterious Balaur in the first expansion to NCSoft's Manichean MMORPG. Assault on Balaurea raises the level cap from 50 to 55, adds hundreds of new quests, eight new instances, a new "windsteam" system of fast travel, and an all-new pet system. Pets cannot be used in combat, but they can alert players to impending danger, and they can be used to store items and produce resources for crafting. ~ All Game Guide
