In the vast expanse of the anime universe, known as Arkania, lies a tapestry of 22 kingdoms, each with its own unique inhabitants, culture, and history. At the heart of Arkania's creation myth is the story of the Allfather, a divine being who birthed the world and its inhabitants. From his essence emerged the first races: dragon people, bird people, seafolks, Elves, vampires, lycans, fairies, spider people, Goblins, Orcs, Gods, Therianthropians, angels, demons, Elementals, Dwarves, shapeshifters, dream weavers, Phantasmarians (illusionists), Chimerae (hybrid people), humans, and Voidwalkers.
In the primordial era, all these races lived together in harmony under the benevolent rule of the Allfather, who was revered as the Elder, the Honored One, the One Who Sees All. But as time passed, the gods grew greedy and sought to consolidate their power, imposing strict laws and demanding unwavering devotion from their subjects.
Tensions simmered among the races as they chafed under the gods' rule, until finally, a coalition formed among the most oppressed. Led by courageous leaders from each race, they rose up in rebellion against the tyrannical deities. The Great War of Liberation engulfed Arkania, shaking the very foundations of the world.
After a long and bloody struggle, the races emerged victorious, casting down the gods from their thrones and shattering their dominion over the land. With the gods defeated, the races rejoiced in their newfound freedom and autonomy. In a grand ceremony, they convened to decide the fate of Arkania.
It was decided that each race would be granted its own kingdom, ruled by its own leaders and governed by its own laws. The 23rd kingdom was left as a neutral territory, a sanctuary where representatives from all races could convene to discuss matters of mutual interest and resolve conflicts peacefully.
However, unbeknownst to the victorious races, the gods were not truly defeated. Though weakened and scattered, they remained alive, sustained by the life force of their followers and the remnants of their waning power. Seething with rage and resentment, they bided their time, plotting their return and the restoration of their former glory.
As the years passed, whispers of the gods' awakening spread throughout Arkania, sparking fear and uncertainty among the races. Now, on the eve of their resurgence, the fate of Arkania hangs in the balance once more. Will the races unite once again to face this new threat, or will old rivalries and grievances tear them apart? Only time will tell in this epic saga of power, betrayal, and redemption in the universe of Arkania.
Located in the far north of Arkania, the Dragon Peaks are a range of towering mountains, perpetually shrouded in snow and ice. Amidst the jagged peaks and treacherous cliffs, the dragon people have carved out their ancestral homeland, ruled by ancient dragon lords from their majestic citadels.
Off the western coast of Arkania, the Avian Isles float like jewels upon the Sea of Winds. These islands are lush and verdant, with towering cliffs and hidden valleys where the bird people make their homes, soaring through the skies on wings of feather and magic.
Beneath the azure waves of the Southern Sea lies the Coral Kingdom, a realm of stunning beauty and vibrant life. Here, the seafolks dwell in harmony with the ocean, their cities of pearl and coral hidden among the colorful reefs and sunken ruins.

In the shadowy depths of the Nightshade Dominion, the vampires hold sway over the cursed land, ruling from their dark castles and ancient crypts. Here, the night is eternal, and the blood of mortals sustains the undead rulers of the night.
To the east of Arkania, the Lycan Wastes stretch out endlessly, a barren and desolate land where the lycans roam under the light of the full moon. Here, savage beasts hunt in packs, their howls echoing across the windswept plains.
Hidden away from mortal eyes, the Feywilds are a realm of magic and mystery, where fairies dance among the moonbeams and spirits of nature weave their songs through the air. Time flows differently here, and reality is but a fleeting dream.
In the murky depths of the Spiderwood Marshes, the spider people lurk among the tangled webs and twisted trees, their shadowy webs extending far and wide across the swampy terrain.In the rocky badlands of the Goblin Territories, goblins scurry and skulk among the crags and crevices, their crude fortresses dotting the landscape like wartorn scars.
Across the vast plains of the Orcish Strongholds, the orcs roam free, their mighty fortresses standing as monuments to their strength and ferocity.
Spread throughout Arkania, the human kingdoms are diverse and varied, ranging from bustling metropolises to quaint villages nestled in the countryside. Humans are adaptable and resourceful, and their kingdoms reflect this diversity in culture, architecture, and governance.

Deep beneath the earth, the demons of the Infernal Abyss dwell in a realm of fire and brimstone, ruled by mighty demon lords who vie for power and dominance over the fiery landscape.
Scattered throughout Arkania are the Elemental Planes, realms of primal energy and raw elemental power. Each plane is governed by a different elemental force-earth, air, fire, and water-and inhabited by beings attuned to its nature.
Beneath the surface of Arkania lie the Dwarven Kingdoms, vast networks of tunnels and caverns where the dwarves mine precious metals and gems. Their cities are marvels of engineering, carved from solid rock and defended by stout walls.
In the realm of dreams, the Dreamlands exist as a shifting landscape of wonder and imagination, where the dream weavers craft illusions and shape the dreams of mortals and gods alike.
