Arcadia: The Prelude to War

The Continent of Arcadia

The Blue Planet, Blue Circle

The only continent on this planet, Arcadia, is a vast world where numerous races and nations coexist. From Humans to Elves, Dwarves, Beastmen, Golems, Dragonborn, Centaurs, Merfolk, Machina, and Sylvans, diverse races live in their respective territories.

However, a massive shift has come to the once-peaceful Arcadia. As the Arcadian Civil War began to shake the entire continent, the six regions split into different nations and factions, each preparing for war in their own way.

■ Kingsland

Located in the center of the continent, it is the heart of the Great Arcadian Empire. It boasts formidable military power, with many combat-experienced soldiers and superior war weapons and equipment. It is considered one of the most powerful factions in the current civil war.

■ Solas

A land of sand located in the northwest. The Solas Empire utilizes a combat style that overwhelms enemies with sheer numbers, possessing a massive troop count. However, the quality of their weapons is low, and the sandy terrain makes for a challenging battlefield.

■ Caldera

A land of volcanoes located in the southwest. The Kingdom of Caldera is extremely difficult to invade due to the flowing lava and rugged terrain. It is also famous for producing powerful and sophisticated weapons thanks to its many skilled blacksmiths. It is primarily inhabited by Golems and Dragonborn.

■ Sakuratsuki

A land of blades located in the northeast. The Sakura Empire is home to countless swordsmen, most of whom possess real combat experience, boasting high combat capability. Many of the continent's legendary swords are found here. The swordsmen of Sakuratsuki value their blades and honor above all else.

■ Frostheim

A land of eternal snowfields located in the southeast. The Frostheim Empire is surrounded by harsh cold and snow. Due to the year-round snowfall, invading without cold-weather gear is extremely difficult. It is home to many mages, as well as Elves and Dwarves. The harsh natural environment itself serves as Frostheim's strongest defensive line.

■ Saint Island

An island located at the southern tip of Arcadia. Originally an independent region, it is currently occupied by the Great Arcadian Empire. A large number of Machina—war machines created by the Empire—are stationed here. The Machina are beings with incredibly hard armor and powerful swords, powered by a Core located deep within their bodies. Their durability and combat power, far beyond that of human soldiers, make them one of the Empire's strongest military trump cards.
