Ertheia Epic Tale of Aden Dimensional Strangers
The New Lineage 2 Add-On

Who are the Ertheia?

After 7 Years a new race is beeing introduced, the Ertheia. The official name of the chronicle is The Epic Tale of Aden - Strangers from another Dimension. The test client allready launched in Korea, as you can see we included lots of videos in game and trailers in this article.

There are 2 classes for now, and both Females only, allthough in client there is room for two more, makeing us believe the developers intend to introduce something more.

The Lore regarding the Ertheia

Sayha instilled the spirit of wind into the fourth form. This is how the race of Ertheia was created.
The winged race of arteias was freedom-loving and possessed undying curiosity. Giants wanted to capture and subjugate the free-flying creatures, but as soon as an arteia was locked up in a cage, it quickly lost its strength and died. Giants were left with no choice but to allow the arteias to fly free. The arteias visited the city of giants to give them news from other parts of the world. The elves decided to seek help from the race of the wind - the arteias. Their reconnaissance skills and aerial attacks would be sufficient aid for the elves to triumph over the orcs. An elven delegation traveled to the ends of the earth to seek the help of the arteias.

"Race of the wind, come to our aid! The barbarian orcs are oppressing us with their sheer might. Let us join together and teach them their foolishness!" 

But, as always, the arteias were not interested in the politics or wars of the earth. They determined to take neither side and hid themselves deeper in the inlands. The elves despaired.

Turned down by the pragmatic Dwarves and neutral Arteias, the Elves were left with no allies to wage war against the orcs. Fairy King Ophelius is leading his people to Magmeld to prevent them from becoming completely wiped out by Fairy Dust hunters, King Zephyron leads the Ertheias to the Fairy World so that they don't have to deal with the Elf-Orc conflict, trying to avoid a split and civil war between the Spikenards and the Half Ertheias. The latter eventually happened anyway when part of the Spikenard Ertheias could not stand being ruled by the Half-Ertheia Serenia and proclaimed Benir the Khan as the only rightful King.

Othell Rogue
Power Bluff: Reduced duration 5s -> 3s. I can't really understand if anything else changed (적의 등을 보이게 하고 3초 동안 쇼크상태에 빠트린다.)

Arcana Lord
Summon Protection Stone: Summons a monument that increases surrounding party members' abilites (like an opposite Death Gate I guess). The buff you get from it lasts 30s. There's 3 buff levels for each level of the skill (think Lightning force form Tyrrs, not sure how you level up the buff though). I'll list just bonuses from the 3 buffs a max lvl protection stone will give out.

Instant movement (인스턴트 무브먼트):  (자신이 소환한 인스턴트 무빙포탈로 즉시 텔레포트 한다.)
Honestly I've no idea what you can do with these 2 skills. Something like summon portal -> go elsewhere -> recall to the portal? But 30s portal duration seems kinda short for that. My other guess would be it's some kind of party summoning mechanic?
Spectral Summoner
Summon Phantom Cross (서먼 팬텀 크로스): Summons a demonic cross that deals damage with 518 power added to M. Atk. and applies a debuff that reduces target's Atk./Cast speed by 30% and speed by 180.
