☀ In a surprise for some within Arcadia, the banners of the Final Frontier, thought to be lost to the invasion, are seen to be floating near the entrance of a specific appartement, attracting some curious local artificiers.

☀ After many years since Diallos Equisol's mistake, and the amendment of a perticular person, he is longer banned to enter Arcadia.

☀ With the past years welcoming refugees of new horizons, from those of the Final Frontier, Londo and now Varesia, the city has become a more heterogenous. Along with the Polytheist influence in the faith of Arcadia, the populace grows more understanding and in solidarity to cooperate together as many come or has survived tragedy and destruction in their homes. Arcadia has been for many a new way to Live once more. Even with the tight neighbourhood, the people are warm and welcoming for those who respect the local traditions and Harmony. Some Occultists and Apostates are still a sometimes wary, as long they do not cause hostilities.
But curses upon those who would abuse of this kindness offered, as the last years since the invasion of Atrellya has forged the survivors to become more resolute if danger presents.

Therefore, after a long period of hesitation between two directions, the current tendency shifts Arcadia to be considered a "Progressive" settlement.

Relations

The Nation of Delphina
The people welcome the Delphinians with the respect due, as Arcadia is a vassal of Dal'Thala. The inhabitants of each side are able to travel freely.

The Kingdom of Fortune
Exchanges have slowed in the past years, as the sailors and some relatives of the Captain of Fortune were away for the period of Krausmas. Perhaps in their return, Arcadia and Fortune could resume their project?

Goldlight
The people have mixed feelings towards the people of Goldlight. While at first there was some worry after a specific event years ago, the last years have improved clearly more in between the two. Patrols of each nation travel in between either for mercantile or diplomatic

The Rest of Civilized Meranthe
The Arcadians are warm and welcoming. As long visitors do not cause issues, wear known enemy crests, or are not notorious of wrongdoings, they can walk in the town freely... Except...

The Oscuris / Sanctum
The militia is more watchfull on the southern border. And only under exceptions, every Oscuri or individual bearing the crest of the "Lost Legion" is immediately to receive warning shots to deter their presence. Altough, the guard stands more defensively, focused on securing the border.

Atrelya
The populace is genuinely afraid and angered by their presence. Any display of agression from these people will be responded adequally, with no sympathy.

(Redeeming) Apostates
The Arcadians are reasoned that most of Apostates are misguided people. While they are cautious and remain ready to defend themselves, the apostates that surrendered and are going through their rehabiliation can find some caring gestures adressed to them, as long they are not wronged. A chance to find a proper life back once more.
