Locations

Isla Sybilla

Isla Sybilla is the larger of the two chantry halls floating in the realm of Arcus Prima. It is composed of a number of floating blocks more or less stationary relative to each other. Each block is composed of clean white stonework that look stylstically in line with each other, though clear variations exist for several areas. The blocks are vertically as well as horizontally oriented, so the entire complex is as high as it is wide. Generally speaking, Sybilla is very pleasant.

Academy Block

Looks suspiciously like a small Japanese high-school campus.

  • The Old School Building is a run-down facility located on the a corner at the back of the block's surface. Unlike the rest of Sybilla, it is distinctly spooky.
  • The Mahora Library is located in the massive physical block beneath the campus.

Surface

The surface of Arcus Prima is a vast freshwater lake in theory roughly the size of all the Great Lakes combined. In practice, the shore is never visible and no one knows what actually bounds its shores or even what the lakebed is. Hence, its status as a "lake" is derived only from the fact that the realm's primary node is the Taihu near Shanghai.
