The architecture of Arcadia is extremely unique with its five-tiered design, vertically arranged for ease of travel for the winged locals. Each level is dedicated to a different aspect and class of the city. | |||
The | === T'er Aventine === | ||
The first and the lowest tier of Arcadia is the slum district of the city. The impoverished class of the city remain on this level save the occasional beggars who wander the upper tiers looking for alms. | |||
= | === T'er Caelian === | ||
This is the second tier and the level through which visitors to the city first enter. [[Ramean]] the Gatekeeper guards the main gate to the city and the first Arcadian Atavian to be seen. A middle-class section, this is where the farmers and grocers hawk their produce. | |||

Surrounded by a vigilant patrol and guarded by a powerful Cloud Serpent named [[Chenubis]], the Arcadian palace is located on this third and middle tier. Noblemen and bureaucrats walk the streets while the royal family resides within the palace walls. | Surrounded by a vigilant patrol and guarded by a powerful Cloud Serpent named [[Chenubis]], the Arcadian palace is located on this third and middle tier.

The fourth tier is the shopping district of the city. Various upper-class shops line the streets, as well as an auction stand, with merchants and other wealth shoppers passing by. | |||
The | === T'er Briham === | ||
The fifth tier is the scholars' tier, home to the Arcadian Academy. This is where the students and philosophers of Arcadia are found. It is also via this tier that a path further up the mountain may be accessed to reach the Arcadian Temple of [[Vastar]]. | |||
== | ==Royal Family== | ||
The Arcadian Royal Family consists of the king [[Iasius]], queen [[Clytemnestra]], princess [[Atlantia]] and princes [[Dardaenus]] and [[Elatus]]. The mark of the royal family is the blue-green hue of their eyes. It is believed that the king married into the family as he lacks this mark. | |||
