Revision 1

Overview

Gian was the great leader who unified the region of Paleoon and brought peace to the land. Under his leadership, the Greymanes protected the innocent and fought for their homeland's unity. His vision was one of cooperation and stability across the war-torn continent of Pywell.

Gian has fallen before the events of Crimson Desert begin. With the great leader's death, the land of Paleoon, once unified, has been plunged into chaos. A bloody battle now unfolds between the Greymanes who fight to uphold his will and the Black Bear forces that seek to set it to flame.

Legacy

Gian's death is the catalyst for Crimson Desert's entire story. The peace he maintained died with him, and the resulting chaos scattered the Greymanes across the continent. Kliff's journey to reunite his companions and rebuild the faction is, at its core, an attempt to preserve Gian's legacy.

The mission to restore balance to the Abyss was once Gian's mission, according to Alustin at the Library of Providence. This cosmic responsibility has now been cast upon Kliff, suggesting Gian was far more than just a regional leader, he may have been chosen to protect the world itself.

Connection to the Greymanes

The Greymanes served under Gian's leadership, renowned for their commitment to peace. To Kliff and his companions, fighting to uphold Gian's will means preserving everything they believed in: unity, protection of the innocent, and resistance against those who would bring destruction.

Rebuilding the Greymanes isn't just about revenge against the Black Bears; it's about ensuring that Gian's vision for Paleoon doesn't die completely.

The Greater Mission

Alustin reveals that stopping the chaos threatening the Abyss was once Gian's mission. This suggests Gian understood the cosmic threat facing Pywell and may have been working to prevent it before his death.

Whether Gian's death was connected to this greater mission remains to be discovered. The fact that his responsibility now falls to Kliff implies a deeper connection between the Greymanes' leader and the fate of all worlds.
