Aslan
The Aslan are an Ancient race in the world of Arknights.
Description[edit]
Aslans are similar to Felines in which they have rounded ears, but their tails have dark tuffs of hair and they also have a mane-like hairstyle, and greater physical prowess. In fact, they are actually a Feline subgroup in biological and anthropological definitions, but they are separated independently as a royal bloodline due to politics.[2]
The name "Aslan" comes from the Aslanian Conquest of Sargon before the common era. According to a legend, it all began from a Sargonian tribe of Felines with unique traits who would later become the Aslan house. These first Aslans in history believed they were naturally born with the "divine right of kings" to rule over other races; furthermore, they received the blessings of the leon "Lords of Beasts" that could support their campaigns. Hence, they segregated themselves from other Felines and ushered a series of conquests unto other tribes. Not only the conquest made the Aslans becoming famous, but also it ushered in the era of racial separation in which various races began naming themselves differently in accordance with their body traits or culture.[2][3]
In the modern era, Aslans are the royal houses of both Sargon and Victoria. The Shahanshah of Sargon is of the Aslan dynasty. During the ninth Terran century, a royal family led by an Aslan Padishah named Lugalszamszi fled to Victoria from political persecutions of the Shahanshah. Through their charisma, they initiated a palace coup against the Draco houses of Victoria and Tara that toppled their reign. Decades later, Lugalszamszi's grandson would solidify his rule as the first Aslan King of Victoria.[4][5] But since the public execution of King Alistair II in 1072, the Aslans are forever purged from the Victorian throne, forcing them to live in hiding that resulted in the twenty years of vacant throne.
