===Cities===
Arkania has about eight highly populated cities which resulted from the Age of Seven Kingdoms. These cities are true mediaevalesque metropolises that contain 2,2 billion [[Arkanians (A1-0)|Arkanians]], while the remaining population live in nearby scattered agricultural towns or on the lunar colonies. While the cities may seem archaic, technology is incorporated in them if wished. Yet the [[Arkanians (A1-0)|Arkanians]] have a preference traditional aspects. Market stands will be made of wood and silks. At night, rather than installing a light network, all [[Arkanians (A1-0)|Arkanians]] will put out candles to lighten up the streets for those that still linger late at night. It is part of their overall societal consciousness to help others with little effort. Aside from that, [[Arkanians (A1-0)|Arkanians]] don't build vertically. They prefer to use all the accessible ground and build horizontally. Most houses won't have an upper floor and only palaces seem to break this rule. But this is due to their usage as forts in the Age of Seven Kingdoms. All cities follow this trend, though as one goes more to the north, they will note that the streets will grow tighter and even market stands made out of stone. This was to prevent heat loss, but that architecture still remains. Outsiders have described these cities as archaic yet majestic. Even the newer structures such as spaceports are built in these old styles.

Not all wildlife is hostile to the Arkanians however. The Thalgu on Arkania serve as the main mounts for both transport and working duties. The Thalgu is originally a herd animal, but has since joined the Arkanians in an intimate relation. Thalgu are also noted for their bravery and will follow their Arkanians through thick and thin until they meet their end with them.

"The jewel world of the Arkanians. Few other planets attain the same balance between population and nature. Due to its isolated location, it's more than a mere surprise for passers-by."
—Master Borerc Deh'ran

The adopted homerworld of the Arkanians and the seat of power of the Arkanian High Kingdom. This superearth planet is considered by the Arkanians as a galactic wonder and is the fourth planet from its blue star, Arkan.
Its location however is what makes the Arkanians so mysterious. It lies in the fringes of Great Expanse and only few ever venture outside their home system, tens of lightyears at most. Though few Arkanian merchants do spread out to the whole Tiyanki Territories. While many perceive this as isolationism, the Arkanians will tell otherwise.

Etymology

The planet is named after its people's brave nature.

History

Age of Seven Kingdoms and unification period

The Srinziz Royal Palace, the seat of power of the Arkanian High Kingdom.

Golden Ages and current times

Physical characteristics

An Arkanian day is roughly 34 standard hours and takes up to 897 Arkanian days to orbit its sun and an Arkanian week is considered to be 8 days long. The planet is a superearth with a diameter of 17.893 km and contains a higher gravity which can crush visitors from very low gravities. The Arkanian moons are also quite similar to the planet with Txan having a diameter of 3.892 km and Ashlar having one at 1.336 km.

The Arkanians don't seek to expand their realm or knowledge of the outside, but wish to perfect all they already know and protect it. Still, most people will only hear of them through rumours and legends.

Geography and climate

The planet is largely a cold world, but tropical areas exist near the equator and volcanic areas. As one goes further to the polar regions, the landscape will change drastically. Tundra forests and plain fields between mountainous regions are the most common. Its atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and oxygen and can host most visitors without any problem.

Cities

Arkania has about eight highly populated cities which resulted from the Age of Seven Kingdoms. These cities are true mediaevalesque metropolises that contain 2,2 billion Arkanians, while the remaining population live in nearby scattered agricultural towns or on the lunar colonies. While the cities may seem archaic, technology is incorporated in them if wished. Yet the Arkanians have a preference traditional aspects. Market stands will be made of wood and silks.

Even the newer structures such as spaceports are built in these old styles.

Srinziz, the capital of the Arkanian High Kingdom.

Polar cities: Polxuve, Mirukuve
Northern cities: Olthouve
Equatorial cities: Srinziz (capital), Ethxuve, Dxouve,  
Southern cities: Septheuve, Mithreuve
Lunar Cities: Txauve (Txan), Krinouve (Txan), Ljixouve (Ashlar)

Luzu Enclave

The Arkanian High Kingdom has close ties with the Jo'Dai Order and for that reason, during the reign of High King Hegras IV, the Kingdom allowed the Order to build an enclave. Now the Luzu Enclave serves as the headquarters of the Jo'Dai Watchman of Arkania who preservers the peace on Arkania and trains new Pad'Shars for the Order.

The Luzu Enclave, the training grounds for Arkanian Jo'Dai.

Fauna and Flora

Although the Arkanianshave mastered their planet, they are not the sole inhabitants. They share this lush world with many other creatures. The most famous of the predators is the Prigarr on Arkania. While these are vicious feral beasts in the wild, they can be tamed from a young enough age to an adolescent stage. Arkanian Beast Masters must be able to tame this fierce creature as their rite of passage. The Prigarr is seen in many statues and city architecture as it has left a staunch reputation on the Arkanians on which they once preyed. A symbol that everything can be overcome in Arkanian society alongside martial prowess.

Not all wildlife is hostile to the Arkanians however. The Thalgu on Arkania serve as the main mounts for both transport and working duties. The Thalgu is originally a herd animal, but has since joined the Arkanians in an intimate relation. Thalgu are also noted for their bravery and will follow their Arkanians through thick and thin until they meet their end with them. The Thalgu is seen as a symbol of loyalty and given as a wedding gift by the groom's family to the bride's family. The Ronto is a large and resilient beast from Txan. It serves as a heavy lifting animal that helps the Arkanians with both construction and agriculture. The Ronto towers at 12 meters in height and is the largest animal of the three lush world the Arkanians inhabit.

Satellites

Arkania has two satellites: Txan and Ashlar.
