Deep within the lore of Arcadia, a magnificent saga of divinity and creation unfolds. At the heart of this celestial narrative stands Kempe, the formidable chief of gods, revered for his unrivaled power across the world. His actions in this tale bring forth the emergence of the Tree of Life and its enchanting effect throughout the world. During NeoWorlder’s exploration of the land, our team made a remarkable discovery—How the world of Arcadia and its Tree of Life came to be. The origin story of the Tree of Life was not documented in Arcadia’s echoes. Instead, we used a myriad…
Deep within Arcadian lore, the NeoWorlder research team discovered an unprecedented narrative – the history behind Mt. Merope. This magnificent peak stands at 3,588 meters, towering above all of Royaume de Satoshi. In particular, this mountain boasts a rich history and culture and played a key role in the Arcadians’ way of life. Kempe, the King of Gods, and Fagra, the Goddess of Love, revered as two of the most powerful deities in Arcadian mythology, hold a central position in the story of Mt. Merope.

In the peaceful kingdom of Olympus, Kempe, the ruling god, desired more than just control over the kingdom. He was deeply curious about the world outside his realm and desired to obtain knowledge and an understanding of the unknown.

Artimia, the Goddess of Fire and Nature, was revered by the races inhabiting the woodlands in the Kingdom of Xbysl. She is believed to control the elemental forces of fire, as well as the natural resources buried within the ground. Moreover, she is the creator of unique gemstones, making her a key figure both then and now in Arcadia’s rich lore. Yet, she found herself in deep despair when she observed dwarves and men, motivated by their relentless greed for these rare gemstones, ruthlessly chopping down the majestic trees she cherished and protected. Amidst the devastation of her sacred forest,…
In the course of our exploration of Arcadia, we have unveiled stories of considerable historical significance. One such story involves a gallant Dredd Knight, Aric, and a venomous creature named Scott, brought into existence by the deity Niefel. According to ancient legends, Scott, a ferocious arachnid, was born in El Territorio. He emerged as a creation crafted by Niefel herself, the Goddess of Death. This malevolent being was engineered with the sole purpose of imposing her dominion upon Arcadia, orchestrating chaos alongside the long-established race of the Galdarians. The spider became an embodiment of terror, striking fear into the hearts…
While exploring the territories of the Medici Principality, LX1 unearthed an intriguing tale dating back to 2400 LCE. This narrative portrays the extraordinary effects of the relentless resolve demonstrated by a band of pirates. However, their exploits began in 8755 LCE, when Bellamy Asher established their image as terrors of the seas. The Asher Band, pirates hailing from the Medici Principality, had sprung from humble origins to etch their names in legend as founders of the formidable group. Despite a challenging existence, this motley crew transformed into a resilient pirate force under the strategic guidance of their captain in 2400…
Echoes found in El Territorio tell of an infamous spider that wreaked havoc on the land and instilled fear in the inhabitants of the region in 10000 LCE. In Arcadia, no divine being was as feared as Niefel, the Goddess of Death. She was infamous for her role in the death of Einvaldi, the God of Existence, leading to her banishment from Olympus. Her offense was so severe that Kempe, the King of the Gods, sentenced her to rule over the underworld. However, Niefel was not satisfied with her authority over the underworld and yearned for even greater power and…
The Medici principality was struck by an enigmatic illness in 421 LCE that devastated the region. The disease began with mild fever-like symptoms and eventually progressed to severe third-degree burns, dark spots on the skin, yellow eyes, teeth, and skin, along with seizures, hallucinations, and even possible death. It was highly contagious and did not discriminate, affecting everyone regardless of age, gender, and social status. As the outbreak continued, rumors circulated that it was not a natural phenomenon but rather a curse sent by one of the gods in the form of a plague. Kempe, the King of the Gods,…
During our exploration of Lootverse, we encountered peculiar celestial objects in the Lootian skies, which we initially referred to as stars. These objects, numbering around 1,000 as far as we could estimate, are small, radiant, and circular. They are not stars in the traditional sense and are found at various distances from Arcadia. Surprisingly, they were not mentioned much in the Arcadian Echoes and are not present in the Underworld. In an effort to better understand these celestial objects and involve Earth’s artistic community, we initiated a unique project in 2021 that invited artists from diverse backgrounds to create works…
In 184 LCE, a devastating plague known as Bloodfire struck the land of Arcadia, wiping out its inhabitants and leaving only a few survivors. Recently, NeoWorlder’s research team discovered stone tablets during an excavation in Royaume de Satoshi. These tablets, inscribed in the Loeic language and deciphered by the LX1 rover, revealed the tragic story of the Bloodfire plague and its catastrophic effect on Arcadia. The stories of this past civilization written on stone tablets are now referred to as “Echoes.” Bloodfire destroyed most of Arcadia’s biological population, leaving only a few survivors who became infertile as a result. Skilled…
