Arcas

Arcas (1705–present) is a peninsula blocked off from the rest of the world by a large ice wall in its north and a vast mountain range spanning its borders. The southwestern coast is lined with smaller islands and large plateaus can be found along most of the eastern border. A great mountain circles the Cloud Temple which is located close to the center of the isle. The Descendants traveled to Arcas from the previous realm of Atlas in the year 1705.

Geography

Arcas is a peninsula with a few small islands not far from its coast. There exists a wide range of climates in Arcas, ranging from arctic wasteland in the north to a jungle and even a desert on two of its southern islands. A large ice wall exists in the north, separating Arcas from the previous realm of Atlas. While most of the land is fertile and covered by forest, a good portion of the land in Arcas is covered with tall mountains.
