With the release of Aion: The Tower of Eternity, you too can fashion your own set of wings, albeit without the violent end that Icarus suffered. Recently, the NCsoft Europe team took the time to describe the entire process through which a player is granted their wings, and the Ten Ton Hammer staff has posted the depiction for you to enjoy.
