Jeepney

**Jeepneys** are vehicles designed to transport adventurers all over Malaya's port for utmost convenience. Jeepneys do not cost anything to use so players are able to use them without paying Zeny for the services.

**NOTE:** Jeepneys are a Ragnarok Online-exclusive transportation system that can only be found in the Philippines culture town of Malaya.

## Background

Jeepneys were originally developed to transport goods all over Malaya's port, but has since been adapted to carry passengers. For safety reasons, each Jeepney can only carry a certain number of people. Supposedly there are Jeepneys that can carry up to 180 people, but those are not currently available in Malaya.

## Using Jeepneys

When boarding a Jeepney, players are taken to a separate Jeepney map similarly to how players board the Airship. Unlike the Airship, players can quickly choose their destination instead of waiting to arrive at the destination via a system message. Upon entering the Jeepney, simply walk over to the warp portal in order to bring up the destination prompt. Players can also go back outside instead of choosing a destination.

## Jeepney Routes

There are 3 different vehicles in Malaya's Jeepney transit system. Each takes players to different areas of the port town and have different player capacities.

**12-passenger**

* Center
* Southwest
* Southeast

**30-passenger**

* Center
* Northeast
* Southeast

**60-passenger**

* Center
* Northwest
* Southeast

As Jeepneys were based on the real-life Jeepneys of the Philippines, filling up the larger capacity Jeepneys to crowd them is encouraged.

Lee Myung-jin

**Occupation(s)** | Artist

**Lee Myung-jin** (Korean: 이명진) is a Korean manhwa artist. His work *Ragnarok* was adapted into the game *Ragnarok Online* by GRAVITY Corp. This game later inspired an anime that he also helped author.

## History

Lee Myung-jin was born in South Korea in 1974 and graduated from Holy Child Catholic School, Seoul with a degree in Visual Design. In 1992 he began work on his first manhwa series, *It's Going to be a Wonderful Night*, which ran for 4 years (nine volumes) and won him the distinguished Champ Super Manhwa award from Super Champ, South Korea's top manhwa publisher.

In August 1995 he put his artistic career on hold to serve his mandatory two years in the South Korean military. Upon his return, he formed his studio Dive to Dream Sea and began work on *Ragnarok* (for Champ Comics), one of the top-selling manhwa of all time. Expanding upon his epic fantasy, Lee has also become involved in the creation of *Ragnarok Online*, a game that takes the RPG analogies and rules of his manhwa series to the next level. With concepts taken from his own series, there are multiple players, worlds, and enemies to control, attack, and rule, with character designs and scenes somewhat reminiscent of *Final Fantasy*. The game is in its finished form and has been distributed in over 100 countries by Korean online game makers GRAVITY Corp.

A series of promotional comics drawn for *Ragnarok Online*.

In 2004, *Ragnarok* achieved a new milestone, becoming the first Korean manhwa to inspire a Japanese anime series. Based on the character designs and sensibilities of the online Game, *Ragnarok the Animation* was given a 26 episode series that was broadcast on TV Tokyo.

Lee's studio, Dive to Dream Sea, also created the 2-volume indie comics comedy manhwa *Laya, the Witch of Red Pooh*. Lee also produced a one volume manwha named *Genocide*.

Some time after GRAVITY was bought out by Samsung, Lee became the company's investor relations executive director. Lee later became the art director for Bluestone Soft, a brand new studio based in Korea. His more recent ventures include becoming the CEO of Haotoon Co. Ltd., which launched the Chinese web comic platform haotoon.cn earlier in 2016.

## Ragnarok Continuation

    In 2010, GRAVITY began adding manhwa-related content into RO, much of which was declared to be authored by Lee Myung-jin himself. Content for the sequel game Ragnarok Online II is also claimed to be authored by Lee as well. It would seem Lee plans to continue the story of the manhwa in both RO and RO2 as it appears the manhwa itself is doomed to never continue past Volume 10.

Keough

*This article is a stub. You can help Ragnarok Wiki by expanding it.*

 **Status** | Deceased

**Keough** is Yufa's elder brother, a knight, and currently a subordinate of the Dark Lord.

## Story

Keough is childhood friends with Iruga and accompanied him to investigate Glastheim. The ruins proved to be too much for the group and forced them to flee. However, their escape route was blocked by an Abysmal Knight.

Despite Iruga's protests, Keough distracted the knight as Iruga got Roan and Yufa out. Before Iruga could make it back, Keough was stabbed and the doors of Glastheim closed. In the beginning it is assumed he died, but the group later learns that he was brainwashed and corrupted by the Dark Lord. Keough's stab wound was made by a "Blade Lost in Darkness," which would become symbolic to what he had become.

His main purpose would be to lure Yufa to join the dark side, for she was holding a soul crystal vital for Dark Lord's revival. Merely seconds from death, Keough reforms and apologizes to Iruga for everything. His soul later appears in Yufa's dream sequence telling her not to choose the path he had taken and to follow Roan for he would protect her. Iruga nicknames him Haze after he turns to the dark side.
Kim Hakkyu

**Occupation(s)** | Game developer

**Kim Hakkyu** is reputed as "father to Korean online games". He used to be the lead developer for Ragnarok Online, a MMORPG which conquered gamers throughout Asia, and former CEO of GRAVITY Co. Ltd.

## History

Kim Hakkyu made his debut in the gaming industry when he released “Lychnis” in 1994 as a director of Artcraft Team. In 1998, Artcraft split into two companies, Softmax and Gravity Soft. Kim Hakkyu spearheaded Gravity Soft and with co-developer Sonnori released “Acturus”.

In April 2000, Kim Jung Ryool joined Gravity Soft as investor and chairman on board and changed the name to “Gravity”. With the new addition to the team, Kim Hakkyu continued to develop one of the world's most popular MMORPG game, Ragnarok Online.

On 16th April 2002, following the release of Ragnarok Online and a conflict between Kim Hakkyu and Kim Jung Ryool, Kim Hakkyu resigned as CEO of Gravity to take a break and concentrate on game development. In the same year, Kim Hakkyu established IMC Games Co., Ltd. with their motto: Impress, Motivate and Connect. From then on he started to conceive *Granado Espada*. Kim Hakkyu said the reason RO was designed in a cartoon and fantasy style is because it was restricted by the original works. *Granado Espada* is a game of his dream. When he was still a child, Kim Hakkyu took a liking to Mayan Culture and ancient civilization of Inca Empire. While visiting Europe countries, the beautiful architecture and the environment gave Kim Hakkyu the inspiration to develop his dream game *Granado Espada*. Soon, *Granado Espada* was released in 14th February 2006.

In 2011, development began on a game known as Project R1. The game was eventually revealed as Tree of Savior in 2013.

Lasagna

**Lasagna** is the port fishing town of the Pasta continent, home to the ambitious Doram cats.

## Geography

Lasagna sits on the edge of the continent, allowing the town and the area around it to receive optimal climates for cultivating fish and plant life. There's not much in the way of communal structures in the village, as the only discernible one is the tavern known as the Adventurer's Club. The lack of an inn means no overnight amenities for visitors.

### Points of Interest

Kazien

**First Appearance** | Episode 10 (Ragnarok Online)

**Kazien** is a Rekenber employee who helps deliver packages to other countries. He cares about his younger brother Lyozien and is willing to do what he can to protect Lyozien from the terrible truth about their job. Even if it meant getting his hands dirty.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
Kazien and his younger brother Lyozien were once orphans who lived in the slums of Lighthalzen. When a job opportunity in Rekenber opened up, Kazien seized it and has been working to help provide for his brother and himself.

Kazien knows from the beginning that he was helping supply weapons of mass destruction to other countries, thus supporting war agendas. He knows that what he does is wrong and hates it, but it was either work or return to living in poverty.

He eventually enlists the help of an adventurer after discovering that thugs were trying to intercept his deliveries. By doing so, he was ensuring the delivery of powerful weapons to shadowy clients and protecting his younger brother at the same time. However, the adventurer later confronts Kazien about his job, to which Kazien soon decides not to hire the adventurer anymore on account of being faced with guilt for what he does.
Lab-OPTATIO Explosion

The **Lab-OPTATIO Explosion** is a massive explosion that rocked the city of Verus to its very core. It is believed to be the reason why Verus became abandoned.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
On the first day of the sixth month, chief researcher and director Lona Fresa is assisted by fellow scientists Federico, Artemia, Silvia, and Vincent in research and development of a project in the Lab-OPTATIO district of Verus City. Known as Research Project 32001, the goal of the project was to use a particle accelerator to create materials that have never existed in Midgard. With the aid of MA-4885, or Mother Computer, the team began their experiment in the morning at 10:25am. During the experiment, a dimensional distortion occurred between the catalyst and the accelerator, causing a monster to emerge from the accelerator. At 11:20am, the decision was made to postpone the experiment, but the Mother Computer continued on. Lona tried to terminate the particle accelerator project at 11:38am , noting the reason being the malfunctioning of the Mother Computer and accelerator overheat. She then attempted to shut down power to the Mother Computer and the computer seemed to acknowledge her commands. Suddenly, the Mother Computer initiated CODE NAME - DESCENT and began syncing both their dimension and the connected demi-plane.

An alert was initiated throughout the laboratory and everyone in the building was hurried into the underground air raid bunker. The force of the experiment exploded the laboratory, causing panic to spread throughout Verus. Those who were able to escape to the underground bunker were able to see the chaos that ensued via monitors linked to cameras outside. The amount of survivors that made it into the bunker totaled to 326.

20 bioengineers
16 mechanics/technicians
27 facilities managers
10 chemical substance specialists
253 composed of cafeteria staff, distribution directors, health professionals, and adventurers
Lona became the defacto leader of the survivors and set to work managing the situation. It was estimated by Lora, a cafeteria staff, that the bunker held about 40 days of food for the 326 survivors. Bioengineers worked to create self-growing produce and succeeded in 17 days. Air purifiers were constructed, but their inefficient and immense size required strong adventurers to distribute them throughout the bunker. Although things went well at first, by the 30th day, the situation in the bunker turned for the worse as people became ill and began convulsing all at once. A contaminant was discovered and supplies were quickly moved to uncontaminated areas of the bunker. After about a month and a half of living in the bunker, the decision was made to attempt to escape by way of creating an underground tunnel in order to avoid the energy storm. It is inferred that most every survivor did not make it aside from Lona in a semi-functioning state that left her amnesiac.

Laura Laurence

**Laura Laurence** is the representative of the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom for the Odin Temple Expedition in Hugel. She is assisted by Ashe Milton. Her expedition group doesn't get much funding from Rune-Midgarts so she pays expedition recruits out of her collection of items.

She seems to have a very intense dislike for her colleague, Alex Helmut.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
Laura is first seen in Hugel taking part in the Odin Temple Expedition, a joint effort between Schwarzwald and Rune-Midgarts to learn more about the Odin Temple ruins. Joined by her assistant, Ashe Milton, Laura has been making major progress in the expedition with the additional help of an adventurer. However, she can't help but wonder why her colleague Alex has been making little stride in the expedition. After commissioning the adventurer to collect Runes of Darkness from the island, she then orders the adventurer to spy on her colleague. Once she learned what she could from the adventurer, Laura asks the adventurer to make one last trip to Odin's Temple to find out more about Alex's plans.

While the adventurer was gone, Laura goes to confront Alex about her hidden agenda. When Alex denies the allegations, Laura counters with undeniably hard evidence. The adventurer returns in time to see a fight ensue between the two women, causing the file folder that Laura was holding to drop to the ground. Ashe quickly picks up the folder and requests the adventurer to carry it to Morocc. Eventually, the two teams pack up and leave Hugel, never to be seen again.

It is discovered that Ashe Milton and her comrade in Morocc were part of an underground organization known as Secret Wing. Its main objective is to bring down the Rekenber Corporation. Something happened to the organization and its members are now scattered all over the world, but some are still active. Laura was used by the organization to get to Rekenber via Alex. According to the mysterious comrade, Laura will now run the excavation of the ruins her way and that both Rekenber and Arunafeltz shouldn't bother her.

Katinshuell

**First Appearance** | Episode 11 (Ragnarok Online)

**Katinshuell** is a former Lighthalzen security guard who once patrolled the border between the rich and poor sectors of the city.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
One day, an order from the higher ups came for him to take care of a rich citizen who was planning to travel to the slums. He didn't want to have to kill the younger man, but orders were orders.

After the gruesome task was done, Katinshuell was beside himself with guilt and moved to Rael in hopes of forgetting what he had done. It was there he met Bruspetti Shendar and the two of them fell in love. During the time they were together, Katinshuell refused to divulge information about his past to her, which caused her to go behind his back to learn more about him.

Katinshuell agrees to meet Bruspetti at Freyja's Spring where she confronts him with the rich man murder that occurred in Lighthalzen. Hesitantly, Katinshuell confesses his crime to Bruspetti, who was so shocked that she threw herself into the spring and drowned herself.

Overwhelmed with the guilt of having murdered the rich man and indirectly causing the death of the one he loves, Katinshuell now lives in Rael in anguished solitude.

Some time later, an adventurer enters his home and begins asking him about Bruspetti. This investigation prompts him to try to sneak into Mister Shendar's house in an effort to obtain Bruspetti's Diary to know how she really felt about him. Instead, the diary ends up in the hands of the adventurer who confronts him about the murder in Lighthalzen. He admits to having killed Alexander Digotz and becomes angry at the adventurer for forcing him to face his past once again.

Left Hand Mastery

By default, Kagerou and Oboro can dual wield weapons. Doing so incurs a penalty when performing a close range melee attack (also known as an auto-attack). This penalty can negated by virtue of the left and right hand mastery skills. In the case of the left hand, the damage can also be improved beyond its normal amount.

When auto-attacking with two weapons, the weapon in the left hand only inflicts 50% of its potential damage. Each level of Left Hand Mastery lessens the penalty. At level 5, the penalty is negated.

Kunlun

**Kunlun** is famous as a tourist attraction for its beautiful scenery. In Kunlun, people believe in a unique religion, and the existence of a hermit who has absolute power over the limitations of Norman existence. The people believe that anyone can become a hermit, an absolute being. Thus they strive to improve their souls to that end.

Many inhabitants have become hermits, absolute beings. But, it`s common knowledge that there are evildoers among them who performed harmful acts even after becoming divine beings. Because of these malicious few, many horrible events began to take place. Neighboring nations near Kunlun were faced with a terrible predicament.

**NOTE:** Some versions of Ragnarok Online refer to this place as Gonryun, which is the Korean word for Kunlun.

## Geography

    Kunlun exists upon a giant rock floating high above the clouds.

### Points of Interest

* Shrine of the Kunlun Queen
* Hermit's Checkers
* Arcadia

## Government

The Emperor of Kunlun maintained a centralized administration. But now Kunlun is mainly governed by an independent judge. Separate from the centralized administration, the judge decides everything and has total control.

The economy is run progressively by merchants. The economic power and information system of Kunlun is unmatched.

## History

An exotic looking stranger arrived in Alberta and was escorted to Prontera. King Tristan Gaebolg III came to learn about the culture from where he came. The King ordered sailors to find out more about this place. Through the efforts of these sailors, a sea passage was opened. This sea passage is now traveled frequently by many people throughout the land.

Kirkena

**Kirkena** is a Witch who lives in a floating house high above the main town of Niflheim. She means no harm to live Normans and is willing to teleport those who wander haplessly into Niflheim back to Umbala.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
One day, Kirkena encounters an adventurer who came to return her Witch's Spell Book after a spirit name Ashe Bruce stole it from the witch. When Kirkena asks the adventurer why they are in the land of the dead, the adventurer replies that he/she wishes to help a child name Alakina Anne who had somehow ended up in Niflheim. Surprised that a living child was in town, Kirkena gives the adventurer a Crow Wing, which should easily teleport any living person back to where they came from. The adventurer takes the wing and disappears.

The adventurer returns some time later to report that the wing did not work on Alakina. Kirkena is perplexed at the outcome until she realizes that the child in question was not alive after all and that she is where she belongs now. Kirkena assures the adventurer that there's nothing else he/she can do and and that many spirits in Niflheim are just as upset at their fate.

Kirkena meets the adventurer again who sought her out in order to find out more about a situation in Niflheim. Kirkena doesn't reveal much, instead saying that the adventurer must prove him/herself by acquiring Lady Hel's Symbol of the Nine Realms. When the adventurer returns with the item, Kirkena reveals that a spirit name Serin wishes to return to the realm of the living and that she would do whatever it takes to achieve that goal, even if it meant destroying the world. She asks the adventurer to put a stop to Serin's plans and gives him/her a Witch's Tonic, which would erase Serin's memories of her past life and allow her to accept her death more easily. Kirkena then teleports the adventurer to Serin to stop her.

Kirkena is pleased that the adventurer was able to stop Serin and put the spirit to rest. She then tells the adventurer to visit Lady Hel once more as the queen of the dead wished to see the adventurer again.

## Ragnarok Online II

Kirkena has her own costume in RO2 and appears as a vanity pet in the game.

Lady Hel

**First Appearance** | Episode 10 (Ragnarok Online)

**Lady Hel** is the goddess of the dead and ruler of Niflheim. Her castle Eljudnir possesses a special fountain that produces Cursed Water. Her servant Ganglati, or Gen, has the ability to send those worthy of Lady Hel's presence to her castle.

On iRO, this character is localized as Lady Hell.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
For years, Lady Hel sought the soul of her mother Angrboda, who was torn asunder into 4 pieces and sealed deep underneath Glastheim. Then one day, an adventurer visits her castle with a complete Spiritual Whispers crystal containing her mother's soul. Impressed by the feat, Lady Hel awards the adventurer with a weak version of her Symbol of the Nine Realms and access to her cursed water fountain. She warns the adventurer to use the symbol wisely or else there would be dire consequences. The adventurer acknowledges and leaves.

Some time later, Lady Hel hears of the adventurer's success in defeating a lost soul name Serin. She requests the presence of the adventurer to thank him/her for a job well done by refining the Sobbing Starlight into Lucifer's Lament.

## Trivia

* In Norse mythology, Hel is a being who presides over a realm of the same name, where she receives a portion of the dead. In the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, Hel is described as having been appointed by the god Odin as ruler of a realm of the same name, located in Niflheim.

**Layla Mitchell** is a detective that works for the Republic of Schwarzwald. She has been actively investigating about Kiel Hyre and works with an accomplice who works in the Kiel Hyre Mansion in Lighthalzen.

## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
Layla had been spying on Kiel Hyre at his mansion for a while. When she notices a random adventurer going into the mansion, she becomes suspicious and waits for the adventurer to leave the mansion before knocking him/her out cold. When the adventurer awakens later, Layla introduces herself and explains what she had been doing. She reveals that recently Kiel Jr. held a secret meeting with Rekenber Corporation executives to announce a project that would replace Guardians with advanced humanoid robots. However, Kiel Sr. and Ellisia were nowhere to be seen at the meeting. When she forces the adventurer to reveal what he/she knew, Layla decides to recruit the adventurer after discovering that the adventurer is only involved due to the girl named Elly. She briefs the adventurer on his/her new mission to find out more about a Juno woman name Ellisia and see what's the connection between her and Kiel Sr.'s secretary.

The adventurer returns to Layla some time later and reports everything he/she found out. Layla is pleased and tells the adventurer to confront Kiel Sr. about his/her findings to confirm them. When the adventurer leaves, Layla gathers up four policemen to assist her and heads to Kiel Jr.'s main facility to arrest him for the production and trading of illegal weapons. Layla and the police were easily subdued by Kiel Jr., but Kiel Jr. was eventually defeated by the adventurer after a short duel. Afterwards, another Kiel Jr. emerges, introducing himself as a Fourth Generation robot and reveals that Layla's assistant in the investigation, Wolkeus Kaiser, actually works for Kiel Jr. himself. The revelation comes as a shock to Layla, as it was a plan years in the making.

Layla was last seen "escorted" by Kaiser out of Kiel Jr.'s main facility.
