===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 order of divine guardians locked them away. For this, they where banished to earth, eventually leading to the seven families of draconian nobility of Thanast. This belief stemmed actually from the proclamations of lizardfolk shaman, and their long term prophesies, applied to the draconians who invaded the kingdom and set themselves up as these divine beings.

====Old Thanast====
Produces 75 Gold <br>
Skyrange Mountains<br>
2 Common Draft <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>
Attritionary <br>
10 points <br>
Beasts <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>


'''Lizardfolk'''<br>
Cursed<br>
Primitive reptilian humanoids that come from the deep deserts far from civilization.<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>
Cost: 5 <br>
Halved point cost (round up) <br>
Racial Alignment: Life <br>
Halves all gold and food output <br>
Infantry units are faster <br>
No draft <br>
Immune to attritionary effects of Wastes and Lizard Wastes <br>

'''City'''<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.<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>

'''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>

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>

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>

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>

====Avatar of Ziz====
Large fortified castles, complete with forges, smithies, bowyers, enchanters, ridiculously giant cannons, early-warning scrying pools and a rickety wizard's castle.<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.

This radiation distorts the nature of the beasts inhabiting it, leading to obscene horrors that prey upon those foolish enough to pass through.<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. When Leviathan roars, he unleashes a wave of this poisonous ichor that melts flesh from bones and sears the earth itself of life.

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, 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.

====Draconian Giants (Heavy Support)====
Rare creatures of amazing power, the Draconian Giants are a strange breed which appeared only after the draconians assumed the leadership of Thanast. Some say it is a sign of divinity,  a spark inside some Draconians which turns them into giants, at the cost of their ability to fly. However, they make up for it with 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.

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.

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.
