Where for out the Asheron

| Question Title: | Where for out the Asheron |
| Category: | Backstory |
| Question: | We all know the all the old ones are no longer in Asheron's call (empyrean) B/c Asheron portaled then out as the bugs begain to over run the place , And that we no very little of them . Asheron is the last of his tribe in Dereth , Why does he hide himself away , There is little or no signs of him in the game it self . When i first got this game i figured Surely Asheron was to be in it some where ( after all it's title is Asheon's Call).The hole stroy does not have much to do with him at all , the Calling stones we all end up tossing on the ground or give to the trianing master . But it does not tell us what the heck we are here for or why it is a calling stone other then to give it to the training master . So This is my Question Why is Asheron not in the game ? And if its for a reason like umm say B/c the shadows want to harm him then why is it we dont get to help portect him ? It would seem as though the only call(ing)in the game is one main thing to level , there is no fancy castles to portect of evn Asheron . Thank you for making this game and this Questioned board ,I dont get to attdend the Dev chats Due to work so I truely hope this Question board will do a lot of good for the people out there like me that have to do other things during the dev chats. : ) |

| Answer: | Why is Asheron not in the game? Well, if thousands of people blamed you for being ripped away from their homeland, forced into a state of virtual undeath, and thought they were being used by you as cannon fodder in a war against Olthoi... Would you walk among them openly? |
