But even though Morheim is where Aion’s spy questing starts for the light-winged, it is certainly not where that questing ends! As Daevas move along the leveling curve, more opportunities to rift into new enemy lands arise. However, unlike the lower-level zone’s quests that focused more on introducing players to rifting in Aion , Beluslan spy quests are predominantly specific chains leading players through story arcs and toward a determined goal
