Saint-Arkh (セントアーク), also known as the Old Capital of Saint-Arkh (白亜の旧都セントアーク), is the provincial capital of Sutherland. The city is known for its importance in Erebonia's history, culture, and the fine arts.


Background[]

Saint-Arkh is the oldest surviving city in Erebonia.

After the Dark Dragon, Zoro-Agruga, occupied the original underground city of Heimdallr and turned it into a Necropolis, Emperor Astorius II and other citizens were forced to migrate, ultimately moving the capital to Saint-Arkh. It served as the Imperial capital for a century from S.371 onward, serving seven generations of Arnor emperors. One century after the fall of Necropolis, Emperor Hector Reise Arnor I reclaimed the Catacombs and had a newly-renovated Heimdallr built above the old ruins, of which survives as the Imperial capital to this day.

In S.1175, Saint-Arkh was connected to the early railroad network in Erebonia.

Trivia[]

  • Saint-Arkh is rich in culture and therefore referred to as the City of Arts (芸術の都).
  • It is not stated if Saint-Arkh existed before the fourth century migration, or if it was built/expanded due to the influx of capital citizens. However, using context from Black Records, the former is implied in that the migration led to overpopulation and subsequent territorial expansion of Erebonia. Saint-Arkh is notably the smallest of the five (later six) capitals, and thus it was not long after the age of Necropolis that territorial expansion brought about the Magic Knight Wars, a series of territory clashes fought amongst the Erebonian nobility.
