The capital, Aequor, is located along the central coast of Aranea and was founded not by the Bray's of the 2nd Era, but by an ancient seafaring race searching for a permanent place to call home. It is constructed of magnificent blue coral-turned-stone, spiraling upward into the sky, laden with white marble, shells, pearls, and elegant, watery regalia. The seafarers who built it were ardent followers of a now mostly-dead pantheon of dragon gods, and those who settled there after their disappearance adopted these same beliefs (though, later, they went through a Reformation & Enlightenment period) in conjunction with their Human & Elven beliefs, with the Thousand-Head Hydra eventually taking precedence over all others. Araneans are inextricably linked to the sea and all that dwell within it, be they dragon, monster, ghost, or otherwise.

*This is current for 4th Era, but will be changed throughout the events of the story; Aranea will ultimately become a monarchal republic with the idea that a ruling family will be phased out and potentially better leaders can take a chance at running the nation.

**The people of the island Hydrea were forced to relocate when their island was overrun with monsters and began to sink; Aranea took them in with open arms, as no one else would.

***Phaesta is being actively used by Aranea to further 'reclamation' of monster-infested Chimerian lands - in other words, an invasion under the guise of 'clearing out the monsters'; It started as a penal colony, but became an expansive military operations and growing settlement in which none of the people there wish to live.

****Aranea is not explicitly enemies with Chimeria, they want the land and resources.

*****Xanthe is a barbaric slave state, but doesn't technically become an enemy of Aranea until later, under Aeon Bray II's rule.
