The Aerakyn race, first announced at SOE Live 2014, will be released on November 11, 2014. It will be purchased in the Marketplace for Station Cash. ^[1]

	With the conclusion of the Age’s End storyline, we came to see that there are Aerakyn who set themselves apart from the Awakened Legion where they were first introduced. They have lost their original home and we wanted to let the players be the story of their appearance and acceptance into Norrath.
