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

Discovery and Migration
Arcas was first discovered by the Descendants in 1705.
The Descendants traveled to the peninsula of Arcas in the year of 1705 from the previous realm of Atlas. Most of the travelers came by boat, sailing around the frozen wastelands separating the two realms, but a number of people attacked the wall. Some nations chose to separate their citizens, some going by sea, some walking, while others wisely kept everyone away from the dangers of the cold. Upon arrival, the different groups and nations immediately got work, rebuilding their previous glory and taking back land.
Geography
Arcas is a peninsula with a few small islands off it's coast. There's a wide range of climates along Arcas, from a frozen North, to a jungle and desert on two of it's southern islands. To 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.
