Another long one... go get a coffee, come back and click on 'read more' to see it.
"The giants began to harbor skepticism in their hearts. Gran Kain had already proved his own stupidity by making a lowly living creature called human. In addition, due to Gran Kain's lewd conduct and Einhasad's jealousy, The Underworld was created and various demons came into existence. Due to Eva's weakness and incompetence, the continent was badly out of shape. Seeds of doubt began to sprout in the minds of giants. Did such gods deserve their worship?
Giants could ride chariots made with their own hands and freely go in and out of the gods' palace. They could use magic to lift up an island and live in the air like gods. They could prolong their life span until it seemed like they would live forever. The giants began to think that their power was equal to that of the gods. In spite of their wisdom, they became excessively arrogant.
And thus the giants set out to become gods.
They began to experiment by modifying living organisms to create new forms of life. Giants called the magic to make such miracles possible 'science.'
Intoxicated by power, the giants organized a strong army to fight against the gods despite the failure of Shilen, the six dragons, and numerous demons in the same task.
The gods saw the preparations and were enraged. Einhasad, who claimed the sole right to create life, was speechless with fury. She swore to destroy all giants along with the continent and the entire world. Gran Kain pleaded with her to remain calm.
"Much as you are the Mother of Creation," he argued, "so is destruction my responsibility. You know too well what I had to go through when I coveted your task.
I will punish the giants for their arrogant conduct. Yet if you still want to destroy the entire world, I will fight you with everything I have." Gran Kain did not want to allow the destruction of the continent no matter what and Einhasad was greatly offended by Gran Kain's intervention. However, as they were of equal status, she could not stop him.
Einhasad compromised in the end. In order to punish the giants, she decided to borrow Gran Kain's hammer - known as the Hammer of Despair. Due to its great destructive power, even Gran Kain had never used the weapon. Yet in her fury, Einhasad lifted the hammer high above her head and brought it down in the center of the giants' city.
Only when red flames rained from the heavens did the giants realize that they had committed a foolish error. They reached up with their combined strength to thwart Einhasad's angered delivery of the Hammer of Despair. Yet even with the giants' might, they merely altered the direction of the hammer slightly, and it still grazed the cities as it descended upon the world.
That was enough to destroy the world's greatest city; countless giants and other races were instantly crushed. A large hole was left in the earth and immense waves covered its surface. In the end, almost all the giants had perished.
Those giants who managed to live fled to the east to avoid Einhasad's anger. Their route paralleled that of Shilen in her earlier flight. Einhasad continued to hunt them down and burned the giants to death one by one with bolts of lightning. The remaining fugitive giants trembled in fear and prayed to Gran Kain." - An excerpt of Lineage history - taken from the official Lineage2 website
At the dawn of the new world, a waterway carved through the ground where the ancient giants fled. An area, once deemed a "pretty place" by the ancestors of the dwarven civilization, re-discovered by the dark elves and home to the 4 great elements who found evidence of the tests and experiments that once took place here.
It was the strongest of the elven race who first visited the ruins of the ancient giants and sought to tell the world of the area.
1. The ground nadir lake - the grave of spirit is the remains of a unique ecosystem. It is the hunting place where 4 great elements (water, wind, earth and fire) quickly rose up.
2. The Underground Cavern is located to the west, and the Grave of the Spirits is located to the east.
3. The NPC "Spirit's Orb" is located at the north of the Grave of the Spirits, and can be used to teleport to "Pirate Island".
4. The mambo Rabbit appears at the Grave of Spirits and will drop rare items.
