Years ago,
Veins was merely a quiet curiosity on the map
that only attracted attention from geologists.
Situated in the desert valley of a deep canyon, Veins famous
among
the scientific community as a source of strange, naturally occurring minerals
that were unique to the area, and geologists can still be found studying the native minerals, carefully monitoring
the activity of Thor Volcano, and examining the canyon walls that flank the city. Geologists still can`t ascertain whether perforate, catacomb-like structure of the canyon walls were naturally formed by sandstorms and the geothermic heat from Thor Volcano, or if these were manmade shelters and tunnels carved into the rocks by the ancient inhabitants of Veins. |

The people of Veins in Arunafeltz lived contented lives humbly worshipping their venerated goddess Freya so they were quite surprised by the trickle of strangely garbed foreigners that were willing to pay high premiums to obtain Hetarium. All these years, the villagers didn`t think Hetarium was much different than any other rock in their backyards:
it was a glossy black mineral that shined with the colors of opal under bright light, but it was also as common as dirt to them. The Veins villagers didn`t bother to ask why these strangers wanted Hetarium, simply figured that this was good fortune granted by the will of Freya, and gleefully dug up the Hetarium with shovels in hand.
As the news about Hetarium spread, young men from the cities and wandering nomads flocked to Veins in hopes of profiting from the new black gold.

The small desert town grew larger and more complex as the fortune seekers built lodges, markets, and other businesses to accommodate them. This boomtown developed into the second largest city in Arunafeltz, and so the High Temple dispatched a consul to regulate the town`s surge in growth and tremendous influx of money.
A bustling boomtown filled with homesick, entrepreneurial settlers and devout natives, Veins is the latest addition to Ragnarok Online. What kinds of adventure will you find under the glaring sun? What is the secret of Hetarium?
