THE SITE PLOT
on the first of February in front of a crowd of spectators, for speaking out against the harsh labor conditions. He was an example to the people, and the people didn't appreciate it. Many do nothing. They turn their backs and close their doors, but there is rumor of a resistance. In the pit of the underground, unrest has settled in and they are forging together, from city to city, village to village, gathering members to start a war. There is rumor that the Princess has run away from the castle to join the rebellion against her father. The age of steam is upon us, and they people want to be heard.
THE AGE OF STEAM is upon us. Smog fills the city air as more and more factories are built. The railroad is going through the fields and connecting town to city to village, from the mountains to the deserts. Transportation has never been so easy. The world seems so much smaller as the connection grows. The citizens of Arcasius are under a tyrant's rule, but one of the few countries without a current war, refugees flock the streets, helping build the factories, and the smoke hides their eyes from the troubles, at least for a short time, until the blood reaches their noses, and the smoke finally clears.

Arcasius' native people are the wood elves which are only the second most populous in the country. Humans are the largest group of people in Arcasius, despite not being native.LAW ENFORCEMENT
Arcasius has no law enforcement, like police. The military is the law enforcement throughout the country. They are mostly found in large cities, particularly the capital, but there are less of them in small towns, making them susceptible to bandit attacks. Many men and women join the army to get away from working in factories and don't anticipate fighting pirates and bandits.CURRENCY
Arcasien citizens use silver as their currency.WEATHER
The weather in Arcasius varies depending on the regions. The mountains remain covered with snow throughout the year. Their summers offer little relief and their winters are bitter and cruel. Throughout most of Arcasius, the summers may reach to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, while the winters may reach as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Farming is essential to survival throughout the country, as the winters do not allow for crops to survive passed mid-November. Winters last until mid-March. The Desert of Noro receives most of its rain during the winter months.
