“The Great Kingdom, surrounded on every side, by an impenetrable wall. So grand none may pass. Yes. The Great Kingdom of Arnidia."
-
-The High Spirit, Sheenan
To the south unknown to the people of Tluthundra, Arnidia spreads its borders. Home of the brave Arien knights and the Great Wall. Arnidia is ruled by a great king, Afax, brother to Orvek king of Tluthundra and the late king Harvin, of Haladan, which has since been conquered by Tluthundra.
Arnidian Culture

Currency
Sheckling = smallest currency
Kroon = 15 sheckling
Tolark = 30 sheckling 2 kroons
Frac = 40 sheckling 2.5 kroons 3 tolarks
Penti = 50 sheckling 3 kroons 3.5 tolarks 4 fracs
Since kroons and tolarks don't evenly go into fracs and penti, kroons are made of a soft clay and tolarks are made of soft wood. There is a crease in the center of the coin where it can be bit in half.
Moons and Suns
Each year is broken up into five moons each with seventy-three days. The first moon is called, Eo. The second, Iropa. The third Ginymede. The fourth, Calistin. The fifth, Adrastia.
In the morning the day starts with the rising of the first sun, Urion. Then Urizon slowly begins creeping up on Urion. By noon the two suns are both next to each other in the sky and set together at night. They are called by most "The Twins". Jaygin's father always referred to him and Linny in comparison to the two stars.
