In the post apocalyptic world of arcadia magic and science are one. this world was both built on the foundation of magic, and destroyed by it.
History: Arcadia was once a paradise. one of freedom and enlightenment. Of wonder and amazement. a world where all men lived as equals with each other and with the many other creatures of the world. but like all things, this world was destined to end.
The division: one day a discovery was made by the Collage of Rou, one of the highest honored organizations in Arcadia at the time. this discovery was that of a strange relic, buried deep within the world. it held great power that rivaled all else.
At first its power was shared throughout the world to further better it and make miracles. but in time greed did get the best of those who used it and there was a division among the peoples of arcadia. coveting the relic.
the initial struggles to take the relic were small, but in time they grew larger and larger until eventually there was only two sides to the struggle. two countries. The Crimson Empire, and the Cerulean Kingdom.
The First War: As these countries rose, they fought one another for power of the relic.
A great and bloody war that tore apart Arcadia itself, was waged.
it lasted 20 long years and by the end of it neither side won, Arcadia was all but destroyed, and the relic had vanished.
the two countries called for a cease-fire in order to start rebuilding their world. but bitter resentment stilled flowed through both sides.
World: After the first war arcadia’s landscape had changed dramatically. leaving much of it dangerous and inhospitable.
The Great Arcadian Wasteland: Once known as the Arcadian hot lands, a desert wonderland built before the first war, is now just a barren and hellish land filled with the ruins of the world before, where the only inhabitants were once mortal women who have been transformed into what the people of arcadia call sand elves.
The Poison Plains: once known simply as the soft plains, a place where many people once lived in tiny farming towns dotted across the landscape, is a poisoned field where only the most horrific and poisonous plants grow with beasts to match them. most of the towns were fled, but the few that remained became iron forts and prisons. existing on the edge of civilization.
Darkwood: this place has changed little since the war. in fact the only thing that has changed is the size of the place. it has grown to a size at least twice as large as before, due to it eating up the abandoned towns that skirted along it. darkwood is a the darkest forest in arcadia, somewhere light was only allowed to reach for only an hour a day. it is filled with living trees, ware-wolves, and white-skinned animals. at its center however there is a town built into the ancient trees of the forest. its inhabited by druids, nymphs, spriggins, and the occasional self-aware ware wolf
Crimson & Cerulean Provinces: The two lands rebuilt successfully after the first war. The provinces are also the only places where there is any form of large scale government.
these lands range from simple forests to large ornate cities. the inhabitants are as varied as you can find in the world of arcadia. (Note: the provinces are on opposite sides of the world.)
