"The Map of Arcas"
Arcas (1705–present) is a peninsula blocked off from the rest of the world by a large ice wall in it's north and a vast mountain range in it's north and northwestern region. The southwestern coast is lined with smaller islands, and large plateaus can be found along most of the eastern border. A great mountain circles the Cloud Temple which is located close to the center of the isle. The Descendants had traveled to Arcas from the previous realm of Atlas.

Discovery and Migration
Arcas was first discovered by the Descendants in 1705.
The Descendants had traveled to the peninsula of Arcas in the year 1705 from the previous realm of Atlas. Most of the travelers came by boat, sailing around the frozen wastelands separating the two realms, however a small number of travelers chose to climb the wall. Some nations chose to separate their citizens, leaving some to climb the wall, but most nations wisely kept everyone away from the dangers of the cold. Upon arrival the different groups of travelers immediately got work, rebuilding their previous glory and taking back land.
Geography
Arcas is a peninsula with a few small islands not far from it's coast. There exists a wide range of climates in Arcas, ranging from a arctic wasteland in the North to a jungle and desert on two of it's southern islands. In the realm's far north a large wall of ice can be found, separating the region from the previous realm of Atlas. While most of the land is fertile and covered by forest a good portion of the land is covered with tall mountains.
