You are currently viewing a 2026 rewrite of an older, 2024 Arc Worldbuilding.
The major break-out event which began the diversion of the twin Universes Arc and Nyx began the moment after Magnya Ullisca sacrificed his life to wipe out the three divinities for good. In Arc, he successfully manages to do so, breaking the fabric of reality and ripping space-time, which immediately collapsed in on itself, creating a supermassive explosion which wiped out the divinities. The Post-Elemental Era is known as the Common Era (CE).
Arc Planet is the planet where the main events of both Part 2 and Part 3 occurs. In Part 2, the story follows the story of a young couple named Filian Fischer and Alexis Barker, whereas in Part 3, the story follows the story of Slash Kaori Fischer-Barker, their daughter.
Bark-Howt, formed in 189BCE, was the first true nation state to be born, with its own government and military.
During the Elemental War, Magnya Ullisca became a pivotal figure with his ruthless combat style. Eventually, his ability to hold against Aeolus made him extremely popular amongst the citizens of Bark-Howt, who overthrew the current government and place him as the military leader. Year 0CE began the day after the end of the divine.
For the first few years on Arc Planet’s human era, all was relatively peaceful. As time progressed, many different tribes began settling down and forming permanent settlements, cities and towns.
The next true nation to be fully formed would be Ancient Murkatinnya, founded in 29 CE. Primarily Greek-speaking, the bulk of the population would live in a large metropolitan area known as Athena. As they explored further west, their languages began to evolve as they picked up local tribal languages and incorporated into their nation, forming French, Polish, Italian and Spanish.
The Murks would prove to be a quickly developing nation, forming new technologies in fear of a Divine invasion which would never come again. This included large boats and wooden ships.
This invention would prove Murkatinnya’s future global dominance.
100CE
During this time, (around 100CE), the Gers and the Burians would begin to settle together in a region known as Carneasia, known in ancient Burian as “Land in the transition” (The Middlelands). At the same time, the nomadic Howts who travelled far from their motherland (Bark-Howt) during the divine era began to settle with the southern Gers along the Golden River, crossing it and settling to form a nation along the west bank of the river and the Golden Sea, known as Germany.
Over in Northland, the native Esokrasians are beginning to cultivate the feral, unevolved animals as food.
Bark-Howt splits violently, Fluffian Horde declared independence 127CE after political leverage was tilted to the Barks’ favour due to a boom in their newly discovered Natural Gas economy.
In 153CE, the highly advanced Duchy of Barkand invades the Fluffian Horde, winning back Zagreb, forcing them to frantically explore the west and found a new capital, Kyiv, during the war (~155-156CE). This occurred during Kaiser Heimlich’s final years alive. His son, Wolfgang I, founded a small town at the southern mouth of the Golden River named Howlington.
200 CE
The Pokremians, Gers and Burians would settle and form an early Carneasian confederation.
The Germans independently invented their own ships and boats, used for trading across the Golden Sea and the north Golden River. They would capitalize well trading with the Carneasians across the Golden Sea, and found extremely impressive port cities such as Konigsberg and Kiel.
Murkatinnya uses their ships and set sail to the west, making their first island discoveries in the Mewland Archipelago.
The Fluffian Horde and Barkand establishes contact with the Carneasian Confederation at two different regions: The Howts to the southeast, Barkand to the northeast.
300 CE
Fluffian Horde expands northwest, meeting the German State at the east bank of the Golden River. Coming from the same Howt tribe from the Divinity Era mixed with the Gers, the Germans sought unification with the Fluffian Horde. An agreement was signed in around 351 CE known as the Unification Treaty, treating the German Peoples as a 100% Howt native. As such, there were no restrictions for travel within the union, like the rest of the state.
Barkand, seeing the union as a means of aggressive expansionism, threatens to declare war with the Howts, but was woefully unprepared. The Duke of Barkand, Duke Rosiva, commanded an army to invade the Horde, but the army of the Fluffian Horde was given a major helping hand from the Germans, and managed to counter attack, winning back Zagreb. This was the Bark-Howt conflict of 355.
Murkatinnya discovers the Purrasian Island, the second largest island in the Mewland Archipelago and begins cultivating sugarcane.
The Yugolan tribe begins to settle and build settlements, asking the Slovians to join in. However, the Slovian tribe denies, opting to continue their nomadic lifestyles.
400 CE
The Fluffian Horde once again moves its capital to Howlington City under Kaiser Zacia I in 448, discovering extremely fertile soil as a result of the Golden River. The new Federal Government would be built here.
500CE - Thousand Year Peace “Treaty”
The Thousand Year Peace Treaty is an era of relative peace amongst the major powers from the mid 400s to 1474.
During this time (~588), the Fluffian Horde expands west after hearing of the Murks from Carneasia. Instead, they come across the nomadic Slovian tribe and later, the Ancient Yugolan state.
Initially, the Slovians put up resistance against the disturbance to their lands, but the Fluffian Horde promised to give the region autonomy and settle the people. The Slovians finally agreed.
Yugolan was quickly annexed by Murkatinnya shortly after they made contact with Fluffian Horde.
Murkatinnya and the Fluffian Horde initially had a tense view of each other, seeing each other as national security threat. One day, in 591, an envoy sent by the Murk Government broke the silence and formed, with the Horde, proper diplomatic relations. Within a year or two, the two countries began collaborating on major projects, such as development of the Southern Plains Road, which is a major trading route. Murkatinnya also began exporting sugar to the Fluffian Horde, which was something they had never heard of before, in exchange for the Horde’s metals and minerals.
By around 1000, Murkatinnya discovers the Northland Continent, and invaded the recently settled Esokrasya Kingdom, adding it as a colony.
1474
A major corruption scandal within the Carneasian government causes the entire Burian-led Government to collapse immediately, forcing a full re-election. A Pokremian politician and arsonist named Yoshivir Soravelo burnt down the central Bank of Carneasia, causing hyperinflation. He pointed the fingers at the Burian politicians for doing so, destroying any image they had left.
The Carneasian peoples take it to the streets, causing riots in the capital city, Slavonia. Within days, the city was run down by angry mobs. A subsequent referendum elected Soravelo as Supreme Leader, where he quickly implemented a curfew in the country and locked it down. He also severed all ties with Murkatinnya and stopped all exports to combat the dwindling lack of resources in the country.
Murkatinnya demanded that Soravelo be taken down, creating anti-Pokremian propaganda against him. Multiple assassins were sent after him, but attempts to assassinate him failed. Murkatinnya gave the Pokremian-led government an ultimatum: remove its dictator or seek annexation.
After it was denied, Murkatinnya invaded Carneasia, with Barkand also doing so to gain land.
Due to Barkand’s invasion, the Fluffian Horde was treaty-bound to invade Barkand (since it was Carneasia’s ally), despite internal protests against Soravelo’s government within the people and government. Its unprepared troops were defeated by Barkand, which led a counterattack and retaking Zagreb.
The entire conflict became of the First Arc War, ending in 1510, with the Treaty of Reikavik: Carneasia is annexed by Barkand and Murkatinnya, and Barkand annexes the eastern end of the Fluffian Horde, including Zagreb.
