Maps

The Archian country in this era of Tulaan is more of a religious empire. The borders shown are approximations and were not strictly defined in this era. The 'borders' of Archia were determined by the Baronies in the land, each run from a fort. The borders of a 'country' or 'kingdom' was defined primarily by the dominant religion in a given area, with Conduit-oriented 'Archian' commanding a chunk of the Tulaan northeast.

While other religions exist within this Archian empire, each village has an Archian chapel to expand the influence of the religion and, thus, place each village under the protection and administration of Ach'Leaz and associated Duchies/Baronies. These other minority religions have no influence over politics in Ach'Leaz and are expected to deliver tribute to the Ochyr of their village's Archian chapel under threat of military persecution.

In this era of the Archian Empire, a chunk of the City-States of Illaminamo has been annexed, with all cities/villages contained within under the jurisdiction of Ach'Leaz. This land acquisition comes courtesy of Conduit Fania over 100 years earlier during the first war waged over The Blight Plague that ravaged Tulaan.

This map shoes the Baronies of the Archian Empire along with the implied borders of Archia due to the Baronies (even if they aren't actively patrolled or populated).

This is the old castle manor of Archia. At the time of C0 of X Pochs it was being renovated with additional wings and towers, with the newest being the Extra Guest Tower on the western end. An additional one was going to be built in the Party Area to keep the manor's symmetry and to accommodate more guests / offer privacy for party-goers.

The manor was located in the center of a large open area surrounded by thick stone walls. This open area contained additional guard towers, with more guards stationed in barracks on top of the manor (accessible only via secret entrances made to keep guards and servants out of sight from manor guests). This wide area would give guards a large kill zone to keep any intruders at bay.

Said to have been built hundreds and hundreds of years ago, the manor was meant to be a bastion for nobles to escape inside and citizens to gather around during times of battle and invasion. However, with the massive expansion of Ach'Leaz's population this has become totally unfeasible. Despite this, the fortifications of Ach'Leaz have not been updated to make up for this deficiency - the city is not at all built for defense. However, it was assumed that any conflict within the borders of the empire would resolve at one of the many, many forts surrounding the Ach'Leaz duchy.
