===Domains===
====Old Thanast====
Skyrange Mountains<br>
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.<br>
10 points <br>
Produces 50 Gold <br>
Defensible like only knife-edge ridges, thousand-foot cliffs and treacherous glaciers can be <br>
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>
Halved point cost (round up) <br>
Halves all gold and food output <br>
No draft <br>
Attritional <br>
Horrors <br>
 
City<br>
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 <br>
Requires 5 Food <br>
Produces 1000 Gold, 250 Mana and 30 Books <br>
6 Common Draft, 1 Noble Draft <br>
Production sites for all Mechanical units. <br>
 
Ruined<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>
Applies only to a Site <br>
Halved point cost (Round up) <br>

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.<br>
+10 points <br>
Produces +1 Food and +50 Mana <br>

(potentially) defensible <br>
River transport <br>

10 points <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.

Produces 25 Beasts <br>

Tall, snow-capped peaks with the occasional high pass and raging river.<br>
5 points <br>
Produces 50 Gold <br>
Very defensible <br>
Adamantium, Levistone, Gold <br>
 
Levistone Quarry<br>
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.<br>

Adamantium, Levistone, Gold

Levistone Quarry

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.

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.

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.
