Arvald

Arvald is where most of the main events and conflicts happen between the Arvaldian nations, and is where the games of Arvald 1, Arvald 2, Arvald 3, and Arvald 4 took place. It is also where the canon of Redshift ended, which is a prequel to the series.

About:

Arvald is a continental planet inhabited by the Arvaldians, a race of humanoid beings, being a bit taller then a regular human due to the small change in gravity on the surface, and being a bit of darker skin. The world is Earthlike, and is comprised of 4 main continents and a myriad of Islands, such as Cafora and Minillia. (Buelekund is technically a subcontinent). The Arvaldians use a year structure called the VY or 'Verner Year' as a way to celebrate the life of Verner Hunstung after he successfully led the world out of a 650 year energy crisis called 'The Age of Regression'. At the end of Arvald 4, the year is about 100 VY.

Arvald has 2 moons, one large and one likely a captured asteroid. Their names in the same order being Ambria and Verna. Ambria is a desert moon, with a thin oxygen and carbon-dioxide atmosphere. It was colonized by the Abzalians, Isigaki, Selukans, Walldavia, and the UTSR during the 20's, but after the Abzalian colony declared independence the others soon followed suit, and this formed the notorious Ambrian Republic led by previous Abzalian Governors on the moon. Abzalia has ever since been obsessed with reclaiming the moon and annexing the Ambrian Republic.

Civilization

Arvaldian civilization started sometime 12 thousand years ago, the first two thousand years being the beginning of cities and empires, with hunter gatherer groups being phased out slowly but surely. But sometime around the ten thousand year mark the Heva Flower (or Essel flower) finally landed on Arvald. Arvaldians live throughout most of the biomes on the Planet, with the Vykarians on the south pole, The Keldik people living on the west coast of Utania, and the Hacorians (the UTSR) living high up in Northern Talan. The civilization now is mostly advanced, but nations like Vykaria and southern parts of Sotahend lay mostly primitive, but Vykaria is working its way up to a modern standard. The main language spoken is English, or as they call it 'Treket'. A child language of the old Arvaldian language of Pehru.

Geography

As mentioned before, Arvald is mostly comprised of 4 main continents. Talan, the western Continent and the most modern of the 4. Utania, the older continent and although it is basically as developed as Talan it is less stable due to the territorial disputes at its core (mostly due to Zarwonian grievances with Vyoxia, and Orgen agression). The third is Sotahend, an equatorial continent that sits between Utania and Talan however rides on a lower latitude, stretching down to Subomminia, a cold southern continent which is mostly tundra and ice caps however northern parts of the continent to have small oceanic pine forests. This continent is rich in minerals and is inhabited solely by the Vykarians, a tribal government ran by a theocratic group of religious zealots who worship the ice and night.
