===Early History===
The long tribal histories of the Pangolians are primarly oral, with later histories being preserved in a glyphic language said to be inspired by the God of Knowledge himself. The early days of their history tell of great upheavals of the land as the three legendary beasts fought each other.

===The Three Beasts===
Ziz, Leviathan, and Behemoth, the legendary beasts created by Menkaureses as the manifestations of the world, said to be so great that his own son and daughter, the deities of war and sky respectively, sealed them away to prevent their rampages. However, this was in violation of Menkaureses' orders and, despite the pleading of his wife, the two were cast down to earth. Here they gathered up the first of the Pangolians and began to build the kingdom of Thanast. From them came the first mortal Pharoahs, and it is this heritage that has prevented interrelations between the pharonic dynasties.

====Pangolians====
=====Language=====
Thanastian is a hard language for non Pangolians to speak, and if often sounds somewhat disgusting or peculiar due to it's heavy reliance on what is often described as slurping and wiggling of the tongue. This is hard for non-Pangolians to understand due to their shorter tongues and differing biology, but to a pangolian it is even more descriptive then normal language. This is enhanced by the ability for pangolians to release various pheromones and pungent odurs that further illustrate their points, the equivalent of gesticulating with ones hands in another language.

Adamantium, Levistone, Gold (costs double) <br>
 
Cursed<br>
Many areas of Arcana emit harmful, invisible mana, the fading aftershocks of potent magical weapons or unthinkable forces unleashed in prehistory. Sensible individuals shun these zones, leaving the twisted, gnarled trees and wretched animals there to their own devices. This radiation distorts the nature of the beasts inhabiting it, leading to obscene horrors that prey upon those foolish enough to pass through.<br>

'''Town'''<br>
Ruined<br>
Vital cogs in a nation's economy, Towns are home to thousands of people. Like Keeps, they are home to various craftspeople and specialists.<br>
The lingering shadows of former empires litter Arcana's lands in the forms of ruined fortresses, overgrown roads and crumbling monuments that time has yet to erase. In the chaos of the Alfar collapse and the Necromatic Wars, there's no telling what treasures lie abandoned beneath the rubble. Would-be adventurers should keep in mind, though, that these places stay abandoned for a reason.<br>

A few rare areas of Arcana are peculiar outwellings of life energy. Different from Wood Nodes, in these places wounds heal with the speed of magic, sicknesses fade and fatigue is rare. Furthermore, the food grown in these areas is almost unseemly bountiful.<br>

====Savage Delta====
Major River<br>
'''Marshy Wastes'''<br>
While most wastelands are characterized by rocks, sand and ice where little lives, marshes are the exact opposite. Their slow, stagnant waters are host to myriads of plants and animals and may even be somewhat pleasant. Unfortunately, they tend to spawn rather unpleasant diseases and parasites and are essentially trackless to anyone without a boat or skyship.<br>

'''Stockade'''<br>
Adamantium Mine<br>
Some warriors are perfectly happy with a proud stallion for their mount, but some prefer something a bit more exotic. Perhaps with the ability to breath fire, or fly through the air, or simply be fifty feet tall.<br>
The reddish, incredibly tough metal known as Adamantium is prized across Arcana. While it makes excellent armor and weapons, it is one of the few substances (and by far the most available) that can be used to construct the frames of Guymelefs.<br>

Produces 250 Adamantium <br>
 
Stockades<br>
A fortress-like site with well-built walls and enclosures intended to keep dangerous or simply huge creatures which are brought in from the wilds to be trained or otherwise conditioned. Naturally it is a focal point for hunters, trackers and woodsmen. The occasional escape tends to motivate average folks to keep well away, though.<br>

====Avatar of Ziz====
Mountains<br>
Born into the world through magic and ritualistic sacrifice, the Avatar of Ziz is a pale shadow of what the true Ziz is said to be capable of, but even in this smaller form it is a creature of great and terrible strength. The Avatar of Ziz takes the form of a colossal bird, a sort of gigantic golden eagle creature that seems to shine with unbearable radiance. He often uses this radiance to blind entire formations, or burn away men with the sheer power of it's light.

====Essense of Leviathan====
Keep<br>
The second of the legendary creatures' lesser forms is the Essense of Leviathan, a gigantic eel-like fish that writhes with tentacles and a colossal mouth filled with adamantium-strength teeth that drip with a foul necrotic ichor, it's body covered in similar slime that lets it sail through the earth as it does the seas. When Leviathan roars, he unleashes a wave of this poisonous ichor that melts flesh from bones and sears the earth itself of life.

====Incarnation of Behemoth====
====Huldra Mountain Range====
Last and largest of the lesser forms, the Incarnation of Behemoth is a truly terrifying foe, one of impossible size, capable of digging through the earth as if it were water. He is cased in adamantium, the plates seered directly to his body that appears as some sort of terrible combination of turtle, gorilla, pangolin, dragon, and dinosaur. His spikes, horns, and claws have been sheathed in adamantium and filed to a razor edge, capable of tearing through fortifications with ease.

Many of the outer towns are still fairly backwards, but they too supply forces to the draconian pharoahs. These tribal levies are equipped far simpler then their more civilizard compatriots, but they are remarkably easy to train and maintain, though in times of dire need what little training they are given is amended in the sake of speed.

Amongst the most basic of the Pharoah's armed forces, the Spikers are the main skirmisher unit of the Pharoah's armies. They are known for the adamantium javelins they pepper foes with, and the sorcerous spears dripping with magical poisons they finish them off. They are lightly armored, utilizing the razor-scales of their natural armor to suppliment their defensive capabilities.

====Fire Pangogres (Heavy Support)====
Rare creatures of amazing power, the Fire Pangolin are a strange breed which appeared only recently. Living in the mountains, they have recieved a truly epic infusion of magical power that supercharges their inner fire and turns it into unprecidented strength and the ability to scorch almost anything. For this reason they are equipped with nearly pure adamantium equipment; anything less melts in their grasp; the plates they wear have long fused onto their body. They fight with oversized claws which simmer with the heat, capable of slicing through a armor and flesh with ease, backed up by colossal adamantium mauls that they use to crack open tough opponents, such as striders.

Cast

  • Pharaoh Nefermandias: Diarch of Thanast. Old and tired, Nefermandias has mostly withdrawn from the public eye. He instead spends his time in the many temples and shrines of the country, enjoying his twilight years debating religion with the various priests and scholars. Or, at least what constitutes 'twilight years' for an undead creature.
  • Prince-Anointed Ini-Herit: The anointed heir of Nefermandias, Ini-Herit is seen as progressive leader who merges the secular needs and religious basis of the nation. Young, but popular. Acts essentially with the full authority of his father.
  • Prince Nefto-Amunaat: Second son of , and an accomplished magi. However, he holds stigma for refusing to serve as a guardian. Spends nearly all of his time traveling to further his arcane learning.
  • Prince Takhathorasht: Third and youngest son of Nefermandias, is young, only recently having served in any sort of combat. Generally found with his father, serving as head of the Royal Guard, despite his age.
  • Pharoah Ur-Atum II: Second of the Diarchs, Ur-Atum is a middle aged warrior who has spent much of his life questing for relics and protecting his county directly. However, his chief wife has yet to produce for him a male heir. Instead, Ur-Atum II is known for having many cluches of daughters who often fight along side him, including the eldest, . Rumored to be soon anointed, she is also is rumored to be illicitly involved with Prince Ini-Herit, a fact which could spell scandal and, some grave voices say, disaster.
  • Princess Shedra-Khuut: Eldest daughter of Ur-Atum II.
  • High Priest Amenhotep: The chief religious authority of Thanast, Amenhotep is an outspoken but supportive authority who serves as moral compass for the diarchs.
  • Nesemdet: Chief of the Magi
  • Kerdaq Pakosh-Memasht: Lord at Arms

Domains

Old Thanast

Skyrange Mountains
A few of Arcana's mountains are so high that even their 'lowest' passes are too high for skyships to travel through them. Needless to say, foot traffic fares no better, and few beyond intrepid explorers brave the cold, the wind and the yetis.
10 points
Produces 50 Gold
Defensible like only knife-edge ridges, thousand-foot cliffs and treacherous glaciers can be
Adamantium, Levistone, Gold (costs double)

Cursed
Many areas of Arcana emit harmful, invisible mana, the fading aftershocks of potent magical weapons or unthinkable forces unleashed in prehistory. Sensible individuals shun these zones, leaving the twisted, gnarled trees and wretched animals there to their own devices. This radiation distorts the nature of the beasts inhabiting it, leading to obscene horrors that prey upon those foolish enough to pass through.
Halved point cost (round up)
Halves all gold and food output
No draft
Attritional
Horrors

City
Much larger than Towns, Cities are centers of commerce and production. It is in Cities that the most powerful and amazing weapons and magics are crafted. 50 points
Requires 5 Food
Produces 1000 Gold, 250 Mana and 30 Books
6 Common Draft, 1 Noble Draft
Production sites for all Mechanical units.

Ruined
The lingering shadows of former empires litter Arcana's lands in the forms of ruined fortresses, overgrown roads and crumbling monuments that time has yet to erase. In the chaos of the Alfar collapse and the Necromatic Wars, there's no telling what treasures lie abandoned beneath the rubble. Would-be adventurers should keep in mind, though, that these places stay abandoned for a reason.
Applies only to a Site
Halved point cost (Round up)
No Output in Gold, Mana and Books.
No Draft
Requires no support in food, gold or mana.
Once per quarter, explorers will dig up something useful.

Production sites for all Mechanical units.
Must be sited in an Underdark Domain.

Genesis A few rare areas of Arcana are peculiar outwellings of life energy. Different from Wood Nodes, in these places wounds heal with the speed of magic, sicknesses fade and fatigue is rare. Furthermore, the food grown in these areas is almost unseemly bountiful.

10 points
Produces 250 Adamantium

Stockades
A fortress-like site with well-built walls and enclosures intended to keep dangerous or simply huge creatures which are brought in from the wilds to be trained or otherwise conditioned.

Adamantium, Levistone, Gold

Levistone Quarry
Levistones are chunks of Arcana's rock that have become so infused with mana that they can ignore the grip of gravity. In some select areas these can be quarried and then floated to the shipyards where they become the keel of skyships.

Underhaven
25 points

Adamantium, Gold
Very Defensible

Is associated with another Domain

Keep
Large fortified castles, complete with forges, smithies, bowyers, enchanters, ridiculously giant cannons, early-warning scrying pools and a rickety wizard's castle.
30 points
Requires 1 Food and 100 gold
Produces 250 Mana and 10 Books
2 Noble Draft
Must be seized and captured before the associated Domain can be conquered.
Maintains 25 gold/month of units free of charge, so long as they remain in the Domain.

Stockades
A fortress-like site with well-built walls and enclosures intended to keep dangerous or simply huge creatures which are brought in from the wilds to be trained or otherwise conditioned. Naturally it is a focal point for hunters, trackers and woodsmen. The occasional escape tends to motivate average folks to keep well away, though.

Produces 25 Beasts

Huldra Mountain Range

Skyrange Mountains
A few of Arcana's mountains are so high that even their 'lowest' passes are too high for skyships to travel through them. Needless to say, foot traffic fares no better, and few beyond intrepid explorers brave the cold, the wind and the yetis.

Defensible like only knife-edge ridges, thousand-foot cliffs and treacherous glaciers can be
Adamantium, Levistone, Gold (costs double)

Cursed
Many areas of Arcana emit harmful, invisible mana, the fading aftershocks of potent magical weapons or unthinkable forces unleashed in prehistory. Sensible individuals shun these zones, leaving the twisted, gnarled trees and wretched animals there to their own devices. This radiation distorts the nature of the beasts inhabiting it, leading to obscene horrors that prey upon those foolish enough to pass through.
Halved point cost (round up)
Halves all gold and food output
