Perion is the town to become a warrior. You must be level 10 with 35 STR to make the advancement to warrior. It is located at the north end of Victoria Island between Kerning City and Ellinia. Perion is surrounded by strong monsters, in particular a few areas called the Burning Zone, featuring several maps of fire boar. The strongest monsters near Perion are Copper Drakes, the weakest of the drake family, and Fire Drakes, some of the strongest. It features a rocky setting with canyon-like surroundings. Like Ellinia, it is a vertical map which can make navigation difficult. Some of the buildings actually appear to be caves directly in the rock walls. Long ago, Perion used to be a heavily forested area, much like Ellinia, with many unique creatures that had special abilities. However, a disaster befell the people here and it became the arid wasteland it is today.

The boss of Perion is the Stumpede, a giant Stump monster and presumably their leader. It's one of the weakest bosses in the game, but can regain HP, albeit slowly.

Perion is also near the area called Perion Excavation site and Perion ruins, which feature the strongest monsters on the continent of Victoria outside of Sleepywood. A few maps outside Perion, a trail leads to the Excavation site. Monsters called Stone Masks, Wooden Masks, and Ghost Stumps walk on cranes that look like those near Kerning City. By traveling a few maps further, one reaches the Excavation camp Site, where Guild leaders and Jr. masters can register for the Sharenian Guild Quest. There are no monsters here, and it resembles a small town. Beyond the Campsite, undead monsters start to appear. skeleton dogs roam the streets, and resurrected skeleton soldiers are seen inside hidden areas called "camps". The interior of the camps are very castle-like. The top maps are unique in that, if a player falls, he will exit his current map and return to the previous one. The strongest monsters are Commander Skeletons, which ride horses and cast poison mist attacks.

These ruins are the remains of the Sharenian culture, a powerful civilization that once ruled over all of Victoria island. The last ruler of this culture, Sharen III, came into possession of the cursed object Rubian, which grants immortality at a terrible price. Eventually, the curse of the Rubian was so great that it led to the collapse of the entire Sharenian culture altogether. The Guild Quest is the Excavation Team's attempt to recover the Rubian.
