Arcovia main.jpg

Maesters of Game of Thrones, the Spacing Guild of Dune and the Inquisition.

In centuries past, the Arcovian guild rose from obscurity to dominate the field of Essealas' politics. A rare bird known as the céon would be discovered and trained to carry messages from city-state to city-state quickly and intelligently. This single discovery and its subsequent implementation would allow the guild to gain control of their own city-state. Eventually, their proprietory process of raising and training the birds would give the guild control over the information network of the entire landmass.

The céon would hunt and kill any lessor messenger bird and soon all of the city-states would be forced to manage their far-flung forces, spy networks, and merchant endeavors via the Arcovian guild. While the guild claims to be a neutral party, no city-state would be foolish to trust such assertions. "Trust but verify" would be the hallmark of the new political landscape. City-states would have no choice but to send their own agents to the Citadel where they might verify every message sent to or from their homeland.

The Arcovia Guild is comprised of scholars, scientists, physicians, inquisitors, and information brokers. The guild holds to a strict and non-negotiable code of ethics and morals. Within the city limits, the guild enforces its laws against information theft, intimidation, promiscuity, graft, and drugs. For the most part, these laws are only enforceable within the city limits. However, as they are the information traders of the entire world, they have a broad reach and the ability to bring pressure to bear when they choose to use it.

Player Characters
At this time, the Arcovian Guild itself is not open to player characters. Individuals may be recruited to play NPCs in the guild if needed. It is our intention to only use the guild to re-direct unsustainable plot-lines, if and only if necessary.
Medicine
Arcovian medicine is advanced. Arcovian healers have access to surgical grade anesthesia and hospital grade antibiotics. Obviously, nothing that requires electronics or imaging is available.
Sim Layout
More details on the layout of the in-world city and its districts can be found on the Sim Layout page.
