The Archian People Vibrant and Colourful The Archian people are a diverse people in the modern era a mix of many races from around the world during the colonial eras when Archia became a Colonial subject of the far flung wheat kingdoms. Through out its short but rich and colourful history it has grown up to be a diverse and accepting of different cultures usually taking parts that fitted in with their own ideals and adopting them. Whilst not the richest country in the world and with a higher than average percentage of families under the poverty line the Archian people are a resourceful and compassionate lot which is shown in there love for their families and their devotion to their trade. It is a badly kept secret that some of the best aspects of Archian life are not found in the tourist beaches and resorts but in the towns and cities markets and gathering places. This willingness to adopt other cultural traits can also be seen in their food which is diverse as the people that live in Archia. This colourfulness of the population also transfers over into the nations fashion styles with vibrant colours predominately reds and blues appearing in many of the older generations clothing with the younger generations using it as inspiration for their own styles and fashions. The Bread and Butter of Archia Travel guides and Holiday Agencies will always tell you that when visiting Archia to sample the local cuisine. Archian food is some of the most diverse around due to the Archian love of cooking. Even during the Ancient times before Archia existed and the ancient tribes used to cook their kills with various spices and herbs which have been refined and perfected over the millennia. Whilst in modern day Archia Cows and Sheep and other live stock have been introduced to the ecosystem the methods of preparing meat haven't changed much. If you where to travel down the streets of Illania one is bound to find stalls on every street serving up freshly cooked meats marinated in spaces and herbs to fit anyone's pallets usually roasted on a spit and served with a smile and a side order of what ever they offer. It is largely accepted that it is an experience no one who visits Archia should miss out on. Blood Ties The Importance of Family in Archian Society dates back to before the Formation of Archia as a nation and further back than the Colonisation of the Ancient Archian native homelands by the Wheat nations from across the ocean.Across history Family has been an important part of Archia life since the time of the Old pantheon and the Gods. Whilst times may be hard families have always looked out for each other, it is looked down upon to throw out your children before it their time to move on in their life and it is seen as every parents duty to see that their children are kept watered and fed no matter the predicament of the family be they impoverished or wealthy. Their Gods, Your Gods, Our Gods Archian society is largely split when it comes to Religion whilst a lot of the ancient ways still hang on the introduction of other races into Archia other religions came with them. Whilst in the beginning this caused a lot of religious strife as the Pantheon was blasphemed during the War of Independence saw many people of all religions put aside their differences and fight for the common good of their nation. Since then Law has been enacted to ensure Archia never has a single national religion but is accepting of all religions that seek to live peacefully with one another. The Most Recent Census of house hold religions: Silver Heliandism 38% Ragnaist Church 22% Zeecultus 28% Arcarus Pantheon 12% Other 10% At their best: At their best Archians can be loyal and kind, willing to help out a friend in a moments notice, willing to share what they have in return for friendship. At their worst At their worst Archians can be Cruel, cold and calculating, greedy in their lust for power and wealth. Edited by Arch, Mar 26 2013, 12:57 PM.

History of Archia: From Gods to Dictators Bronze Spears and the Fires of Revolution ~1000 - 1930 Ancient Arcarians Natives of the North The Ancient Arcarians have lived on the northern lands before and after the event of Heavenfall. Not much is documented about their early semi-nomadic periods how ever some records do exist that have given archaeologists a sense of life amongst the semi nomadic tribes and forest dwellers that lived in the area that is now Modern Day Archia. Noted Historian Pedro Delcantia wrote a book on the rise of the Modern Archian state and put alot of research into the ancient history of the nation and how some of its old undying culture still affects those that live in Archia today. "The Ancient Arcarians where not a warring people and barbaric as many a southern philosopher may have hinted in the past. It is quite the opposite these people where a race based around several key principles that controlled most of their every day life. These aspects I have seen still take hold in some Archians even today proof that our Ancient ancestors where a mighty and civilised people capable of as much culture and learning as we are today." It is understood that the Arcarians where a semi nomadic people, and fiercely religion us the early years before Heavenfall In some of the earliest scriptures and paintings it is suggested that the gods where cruel to those that did not believe or take their power seriously, especially the God of death and Music. Whilst they where not a god fearing people they believed that if they did not do right by the aspects their gods stood for they would abandon them to the forest and the wilds that prayed on them. Family played a big part amongst the nomadic tribes the Arcarians of old the love for ones family and the duty to protect them was paramount in Arcarian Society. This Sense of Duty and honour to the family ran so deeply that a slight against even a distant cousin by another family meant a slight against the whole family. Often leading to family feuds that some times broke Nomadic tribes in two. Women played a big role in Arcarian Society they where the teachers, priestesses and child bearers. Though men stood in higher than women it was only as a small margin and cases had been recorded where strong women would lead tribes from time to time. Women would teach there young about the ways of the gods and the world whilst it was left up to the fathers to teach there suns their trade. Arcarians where expert hunters and Trackers with no mounts to speak of Arcarians tracked their prey on foot using guile and other tactics to hunt down and kill their food usually in groups or packs. It was seen as a right of passage for many young males to accompany a hunt usually with their fathers. It had been said that the blood of a young mans first kill would strengthen him in the times that where ahead of him. Arcarians of this period tended to move around a lot and their constructs reflected that usually made out of wicker and and thick bark from the trees of the forests that covered foldable light wooden frames that when erected where able to withstand the fierce winds of the plains. Tribes varies in size and each hut usually housed an extended family, References in ancient texts towards end of the Arcarian nomadic life Style referred to the largest tribes as a "As a sea of huts". The Tribal hierarchy was some what complex, with family honour so strong as it was it was sometimes difficult run an entire tribe made up of several families as conflicts of honour where no doubt to occur. It was common to have an outsider become the tribal leader a man with no affiliation to the families within the tribe, someone who would be unbiased to the plight of one family. It was custom that the surrounding tribes would present a candidate who would come under the consideration of the family elders of the tribe and the high priestess who the individual would be wed to. When a candidate was picked to lead he was expected to initiate a grand hunt and what he brought back would usually determine how he would lead them in the future. It is theorised whilst no hard evidence has been found apart from obscure reference's in works of art and scripture, that these pics would lead to unions of Tribes to form a greater tribe as the new tribal leader would attempt to bring his own family closer to his new adopted tribal family. On the very rare occasion that a war amongst the tribes was to brake out, there where certain rules to adhere to when it come to war. Wars generally weren't won in the normal modern sense but rather for the amount of prisoners each tribe could take. When one side conceded defeat either by having no more fighting age men to send to battle or admitting defeat, The prisoners would be returned to either side along with a tribute from the loosing side to the winning side. these tributes tended to be a women of child giving age or the finest crafted thing the other tribe has ever won or created. Settling down under the Blood Sky Heavenfall was an important event in the Arcarian timeline. It is noted in many text during and after this era that that the Bloody sky (Heavenfall comet) was seen as an omen from the gods. Many had seen it as the coming of the evil daemons that resided in in the Depths of Kranus the Arcanian Underworld, many claimed that if the tribes did not band together they would be washed away by the tides of fire and brimstone the daemons would bring with them. Although many opposed many more agreed, which saw the rise of several city states along the southern coast the most powerful being Hellanus Arcanus and Dogladei. During this time the Arcarians prospered and made massive leaps in social and ethical areas of their culture. Crassus of Nei wrote: "It is un to us that the red sky bestowed to us both a warning and a blessing our people where weak in the old ways, folly to the forests and our brethren we need no longer fear for now we are all brothers under the light of the bloody sky". Heavenfall brought upon a century of peace for the new fledgling city states allowing them to prosper and grow whilst those that did not initially take up the new way began to follow suit it is recorded that the last tribe settled down in the year 98 SH forming the northern most Arcarian settlement of Leafdown. Technologically the Arcarians remained stagnant for some time whilst they grew socially Stone working and metal crafting eluded them for the next 200 years. Blood and Bronze "The Bronze age was a golden age for the Arcarian people it was a time of true enlightenment and thinking where men where prized for their minds more than their ability to hunt". The bronze age brought an unparalleled wealth to the Arcarians the city states that had sprung up through out the 200 years since heavenfall became prosperous building mighty monuments to their gods using the ingenuity of the premier thinkers of the time. Trade flourished between the cities and their neighbours to the east and west. It was during this time that the Arcarians first reportedly started using ships to sales the shores of their continent Spoiler: click to toggle Founding of a Modern Nation 1930 - Present Edited by Arch, Mar 15 2014, 06:17 PM.
