.........Arcaea is a realm with a long history of war and strife, and its people are known for their unbreakable will. In recent history, the realm has oscillated between three states: uneasy peace, brutal war, and the edge of complete annihilation. Unfortunately, Arcaeans are most familiar with the last state.
.........With a political landscape completely changed from what it was a few scarce years ago, Arcaea stands as the most dominant and reinvigorated power in the Far East due to a mix of charisma and military effectiveness. Currently we are consolidating after our victory over the realm of Cathay in having struck the final blow in breaking their ally and our longstanding enemy Ethiala.
.........So what does this mean for you? Merit and capability are more important than seniority, so if you have the talent and are willing to work hard, Arcaea is the realm for you.
.........In Arcaea, all roads lead to Remton... and to the steps of the Royal Palace. Not only is it the center of government, it is also the best place to learn about the realm itself. Though, the rest of the castle is restricted from unauthorized visitors, foreign dignitaries and other guests are free to roam the numerous rooms of the ground floor.
.........But why are you here? What do you wish to know about Arcaea? Perhaps you'll find your answers in one of the rooms of the castle.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| This, the northernmost hall of the palace, holds many tables, for the banquets and feasting that always accompany any great Arcaean celebration, be they social, religious or just occasions for general revelry. | ||||||||
| The hall of heroes contains the records of the stories of all fallen heroes of Arcaea. Effigies tower at the sides of the chamber, serving as a solemn reminder to prospective diners of the great cost that has been paid in Arcaea's long and sometimes bloody history by these noble individuals. | ||||||||
| Less brilliantly decorated then the other rooms, the Military Archives contains records of previous military campaigns and battle reports. Old weaponry and armour serve to liven the grim atmosphere. | ||||||||
| A grand room, heavily guarded, at the center of the palace. The magnificent stone throne of Arcaea's monarch dominates the space, designed to impress foreign dignitaries. | ||||||||
| Within the Royal Palace of Arcaea lies a small but impressively furnished library. Dusty shelves littered with the remnants of opulence hold rare and valuable manuscripts, many of which can be found nowhere else in the world. Some Arcaea's more studious nobles are a common sight here, when they aren't off on the war path. | ||||||||
| The main hall of the south wing of the palace. Large marble pillars flank the hall of nobility which leads many services within the palace. Portraits of Arcaean nobility can be found here. | ||||||||
| The map room contains maps of various sizes, some from years passed while others detail current statistics. The maps are scattered in various locations about the room, in slotted shelves, ornate wooden tables and decorating the walls. | ||||||||
| The small but rich religious center of the royal palace. The morning sun casts coloured rays through the curved stained windows in this room of prayer. Holy texts and small relics decorate the walls. | ||||||||
| Where representatives of guilds attempt to attract as many nobles as possible. | ||||||||
