1-The Warborn are the most visually striking race in ArcheAge Chronicles, with wide shoulders, menacing features, and demonic horns. Members of the Haranyan Alliance, they are former slaves to their demonic nature who now seek to atone for their sins. Their motto, "Always, we will rise. Always, it is dawn," captures both their violent past and their hope for something better.

510 The Warborn were originally members of the ancient Nuon race, one of the three "higher races" created by Thiol on the mortal plane. The demon goddess Orchidna, gatekeeper of the Garden, tore open a dimensional hole and freed the Nuons from their original home. But freedom came at a price: the Nuons were corrupted by demons with dark magic, filled with bloodlust, and their bodies transformed into living weapons.

712 Known as the Worui Si ("Fallen Dragon Hunters"), the corrupted Nuons were responsible for countless deaths during the Demon War. They were weapons of mass destruction with no will of their own, serving Orchidna's purposes until her control was broken. After liberation, the surviving Warborn were left with full memories of what they had done while enslaved.

1217 The Warborn now seek penance and redemption for the atrocities committed under Orchidna's control. Their need for redemption has left them as servants to new masters within the Haranyan Alliance. Each Warborn wears a Haranyan-provided device to contain their residual demonic energies, a constant physical reminder of the danger they pose to themselves and others.
