The majority of action in Hargrave’s “Arduinian Cycle” took place on Khaora, also known as the third continent [of the world of Khaas]. He also supplied snippets of information about the fifth continent, Archaela, among the first seven Arduin Grimoires. When Emperor’s Choice purchased the Arduin intellectual property, Monty St. John wrote a small amount of text about Archaela and also mapped its location relative to Khaas’s other continents (there are seven in total).
Hargrave’s historical sketches about Archaela recount a time 10,000 years before his campaign’s current day when The Interstellar Wars were fought on Khaas. Archaela was then the pinnacle of civilization for the entire planet. As such, it became ground zero for Khaasian defense against alien interlopers. The Archaelans managed to drive off the invaders, but such was the magical & technological onslaught that the fifth continent was little more than a radioactive waste. Most survivors bailed to other continents, primarily Khaora.
According to The World Book of Khaas, Archaela is recovering after millennia. The eastern seaboard in particular has become habitable & even send merchant ships to trade with Khaora.
Arduin Grimoire VI, House of the Rising Sun, contains a section on the old gods of continent five, providing a little more setting information for Archaela.
When I am back at my laptop, I’ll provide paginated citations.
Does anybody else have additional info about Archaela?
