The developers of Jade Dynasty have released this new developer journal detailing the Balo, one of the two factions for the new Athan race being introduced in the game's most recent expansion, Ascension.

It's Dvorak here, Community Manager for the martial arts MMORPG, Jade Dynasty. If you haven't heard of Jade Dynasty yet, first of all, welcome back to civilization! There's a lot of catching up to do--for more information on features as well as for exclusive codes to unlock goodies in our upcoming expansion, Ascension, you can follow Jade Dynasty on Facebook or hit me up on Twitter.

One of the most exciting new additions of the upcoming expansion is the new race called the Athan. Within this demigod race, there are two Factions, the first of which is the Balo. These hardened warriors come at a time when many in the mortal realm are looking to seize power and the secret to immortality. To combat this problem, the Immortals have created the Balo: indispensable frontline fighters that were formed to represent pure brute strength and were inspired by the invulnerability of molten rock.
