Life in Arcana

Magic is not unusual in Arcana.

It is part of everyday life.

Children grow up surrounded by enchanted buildings, magical education, alchemical experimentation, religious ceremonies, and stories of Mystra. Those with magical talent have countless opportunities to study their abilities, while even those without spellcasting gifts live within a culture shaped by the arcane.

Arcana contains some of Koinonia’s largest institutions, although its population is surprisingly small for the amount of land the city occupies. Vast sections of the city are devoted to schools, temples, laboratories, archives, and protected magical facilities.

To outsiders, Arcana can feel enormous, beautiful—and strangely empty.

Its buildings rise high above frozen streets, their enchanted stones sometimes glowing faintly with magical energy.

For those capable of perceiving magic, Arcana can appear almost alive with it.
