Lore/Terminology

Eon • The source of life, death and magic, existing in every living being. It flows like an eternal river, whatever life it gives must eventually return to the embrace of the Eon Flux, the "heart" of Arcadia. If one were to imagine its appearance, it is said to be an experience of indescribable emotion, a vivid flow of colors and warmth. Access to eon is granted to only those who have wandered beyond the world’s surface, allowing no regular living being to see past their own two eyes.

Leviathans • Each faction is gifted with the protection of a guardian; ancient beings which are rumored to have lived as long as the first strands of grass shaking in the sun. Leviathans are enormous creatures which hold immense amounts of eon, directly connecting them to the flux similar to veins. Immortal and untouchable, they are worshiped as gods by some people.

Shai • The goddess of fate and silent watcher over the world. To the world she is often perceived as a myth; folklore told as bedtime stories. Many say you can spot her angelic wings spread at the horizon when the first light of sunrise chases away the night. Others believe she will one day play part in one's fate, as long as you believe in her. Who knows?

Soul Bond • All creatures connect through eon. Some decide to take the bond further by intertwining their fate and life forces, allowing them to feed off each other through magic or in moments of critical health. When bonding with an animal, a partner is usually referred to as familiar, student or master, while in bond of trust or love a partner is often referred to as Arima; a tribe term originating from ancient times. Soul bonds are not necessarily romantic, but require a strong bond to succeed. The bond is formed through ritual in the tribe lands of Rosario.
