Races
The five races from Lineage 2 Interlude were created by the gods Einhasad (God of Creation) and Gran Kain (God of Destruction). The story is a little twisted by the ages, but very interesting, if you want to know about, I suggest you to have a look in the Lineage 2 Legacy website, so here I will try to focus more in talking about their abities and stregths, which is what you will need to know about to play the grand olympiad in Interlude.
In the following images, you will always see the fighters in the left side, and the mystics in the right side, except by the dwarfs, they have only the fighters bloodline.
Humans
At first, the humans were the weakest of all races, as they were created with the leftovers from the other forms by Gran Kain, but to help the elves win the war against the orcs, they were elven's aprenddices, learning their magic and their other abilities, and even after the war they studied a lot of the giant's magic and dark magic, and this way they got skilled in every way, being able to follow any profession, and even create some of their own.
They learned how to control pets, healing powers, dark, fire and holy magic, and they even developed a strong physical combat mode with swords, spears, bows and knifes.
- Human Fighters: The human fighters are the ones with the most equilibrated status between all of the fighter races, and they have mastered all kinds of weapons, this way they may become a Duelist, Dreadnought, Phoenix Knight, Hell Knight, Adventurer or Sagittarius.
- Human Mystics: Following the same path as the fighters, the mystics have learned almost every kind of magic from the other races, and they have the best healers from the continent, being able to completely heal their group with a few magical skills. These are the Cardinals, but they may also become Hierophant, Arcana Lord, Archmage or Soultaker.
Elves
The elves were the first form created by Einhasad, they received the spirit of water from Shilen, before she got banned from the God’s Palace, and after this she got replaced by her sister Eva. Since the beginning, they were the wiser and even considered the strongest of all races, because of their magic, but their power has greatly decreased after the war against the humans. Their actual strength isn’t very good, so to overcome this vulnerability, they focus on their dexterity, fast spells conjuration and healing powers.
- Elven Fighters: They have very good physical defense because of their self buffs, and their knights has also stronger magical defense. Besides the knight, they have another profession which can sing, and these songs increases many abilities. They may also become archers and daggers, and all of them can heal themselves, except it costs a huge amount of MP. Their professions are Swordsinger, Eva’s Templar, Moonlight Sentinel and Wind Rider.
- Elven Mystics: They are some of the strongest characters due to their magic, especially the healers when they get good augments, their heal is very strong and it’s very hard to win them unless their MP runs out. Their main mystic can control the waters and gives very fast damage, and they can also make pacts with unicorns to fight by their side. They may become an Eva’s Saint, Elemental Master or Mystic Muse.
Dark Elves
First called as brown elves, they were part of the elven kingdom, but after the lost war against the humans, they would not accept the defeat and wanted to keep fighting, defying the elven king orders. To find way to win the humans, they started learning dark magic from a human magician called Dasparion, in exchange, they gave the magic secrets to have an eternal life to him, and because of that they were banned from the elven kingdom and called dark elves.
After this, they started to follow Gran Kain, the god of destruction, and Shilen, the banished goddess, seeking for the destruction of the humans. This way, they followed the opposite powers from the original elves, increasing their physical and magical strength, developing some powerfull curses and debuffs, and also dominating the wind element for their magic.
- Dark Elven Fighters: Following the opposite powers from the elves, they created dances that would increase expeacilly their physical ad magical strength, strongs bleedings and poisonings, and some serious debuffs that can help them to defeat their oppoents. Talking about the archers and daggers, they didn’t change too much from the elves, but they also increased a lot their physical strength. They may become Spectral Dancer, Shillien’s Templar, Ghost Sentinel or Ghost Hunter.
- Dark Elven Mystics: By learning the dark magic, their magic power became stronger, but their cunjuration came to be a little slower. Still, with the mixing of dark and wind magic, they came to be very strong magicians, and they may take the professions Shillien’s Saint, Spectral Master and Storm Screamers.
Orcs
The orcs were created from the spirit of fire conceed by Paagrio, but at least in the Interlude fire resistances doesn't work against them. Even their mystics have a very strong physical attack, and they are the race with the biggest constitution, making them a very hard opponent. Despite of this, some of them doesn't have a very good defense status, which's why sometimes you just need to kill them before they kill you.
- Orc Fighters: Their fighters had been separeted by two bloodlines, where the Titans were the ones focused on their brutal strength and the Grand Khavataris on being faster to catch their enemies.
- Orc Mystics: Like the fighters, the mystics were also divided in only two bloodlines, but both of them were focused on learning abilities that empowers their whole clan and small groups, and they both have the main ability of draining their opponents life, recovering their own, but still the Doomcryer is a little weaker than the Dominator, because of some different abilities.
