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 Old and tired, Nefermandias has mostly withdrawn from the public eye.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 tribal shrines of the country, enjoying his twilight years debating religion with the various priests and scholars.
• 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

Main Domains

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.

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.
