   Keys: Terra, Planet, Earth

   Terra is similar, if not identical, to Earth, including having an oxygen atmosphere, a more-or-less identical gravity and atmospheric pressure, carbon-based lifeforms, and identical climate. The planet has many dangerous creatures and is significantly more dangerous than Earth, it also has two moons, which are nicknamed "Twin moons" by the Terrans. Terra is home to many different races of humanoids, like kemonomimi or animal people.

3. #3Nomadic cityselective

   Keys: Mobile city, Nomadic city

   A city built on a giant vehicle. The frequent and destructive Catastrophes have forced all nations to move their cities regularly to avert massive losses. The birth of the Originium engine made it possible to industrialize Originium, and that was when people started to build larger and larger vehicles. The concept of nomadic cities was realized after vehicles became large enough to move entire cities.

4. #4Catastrophesselective

   Keys: Catastrophes, catastrophe, originum

   The general name for a variety of frequent natural calamities, including but not limited to storms, blizzards, floods and even meteor showers. Catastrophes occur frequently, but also at unpredictable intervals. Therefore, most civilizations can only hide from Catastrophes by moving entire cities. A mineral called Originium can usually be found in the area after a Catastrophe is over. Studies indicate that Catastrophes may actually serve as vectors for the spread of Originium.

5. #5Originumselective

   Keys: Arts, Originum

   A common mineral in Terra, this semi-transparent black crystal contains enormous energy, and is the primary factor of causing Catastrophes. Widely used in the field of Arts, it works as the basic material and catalyst of all kinds of Arts and Arts items. Without Originium, the efficiency of Arts would, without a doubt, drop dramatically. As technologies develop, more and more countries start to use it as an energy source.

6. #6Artsselective

   Keys: Arts, originum arts, magic

   Originium Arts or simply Arts is the umbrella term for abilities to manipulate and transform matter and energy using the power provided by Originium in the world of Arknights. Putting it simply, it's magic. The ability to use Arts seems to be natural for Terrans, and many people are at least capable of very basic forms of Arts. Those who are highly capable in Arts (e.g. to an extent that they are combat effective with Arts alone) are known as Casters.

7. #7Infectedselective

   Keys: Oriopathy, infection, Infected

   The Infected are very common in Terra, owing to the fact that Originium, the primary cause of Oripathy, plays an important role in Terran industry and technology. The Terrans hold a deeply rooted hatred towards the Infected since ancient times, causing them to be systematically discriminated and marginalized by virtually all parts of the non-Infected Terran society. This ire most likely stems from the widespread belief that Oripathy is virulent – although in reality, person-to-person Oripathy transmission is theoretically impossible as proven by various studies, which has went on for too long that it is very difficult to convince most of the Terrans otherwise.

8. #8Oriopathyselective

   Keys: infected, Oriopathy, infection

   People have found that long-term exposure to Originium and its industrial derivatives makes it more likely to be infected by an incurable disease called Oripathy, whose patients are called "the Infected". Oripathy can increase the patient's Arts power in a dangerous way, but tapping into this power will hasten the deterioration process and eventually lead to death, at which point the body becomes a new source of infection. Despite efforts to elucidate this disease, little progress have been made.

9. #9Rhodes islandselective

   Keys: Rhodes, R.I., Rhodes island

   Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a registered drug R&D company working on medical solutions for countries, organizations, and individuals infected with Oripathy. To achieve their goal, Rhodes Island recruits talent from all around the world, regardless of background, experience, or condition. Furthermore, Rhodes Island is committed to providing the best medical and living conditions for its employees, attracting movers and shakers – Infected or not – to try to change the world. Made up almost exclusively of the Infected, R.I. legally operates as a pharmaceutical company that provides care and treatment to the Infected, but due to the wide variety of Operators in its employ with combat skills, they are more of a paramilitary organization who strives to fight for the betterment of the Infected.

10. #10Yanselective

    Keys: Lungmen, Yumen, Yan

    Yan, formally referred to as Great Yan, is a Terran country located between Higashi, Kazdel, and Ursus. It is an imperial monarchy led by an emperor titled the "True Lung" with an enormous, centralized bureaucratic body run by its mandarins. Each Yanese cities and prefectures posses distinctive administrative structures for specific roles such as Lungmen that acts as its autonomous "special economic zones" and Yumen that is governed by military bodies.

    One of the Terran countries that has existed since ancient times, Yan has a diverse and venerable culture throughout its vast lands, extraordinary natural scenery that is venerated by its people, and bustling cities that support its robust economy. Yan often demonstrates its soft side such as its toleration and even endorsement of racial diversity within its lands, but it also treats the Infected harshly as is often the case for other Terran nations.

    Yan is famous for its many martial arts schools, giving rise to its wuxia sub-culture. A great number of youths practice at these schools to keep fit as well as to learn self-defense, while many tournaments are held regularly with businesses springing up to make the most of such occasions. Still, a small minority of schools held on to traditional teachings which considered martial arts a tool for maintaining peace first and foremost. These differences in ideals sometimes manifest in fierce conflict and conspiracy, with the losing side facing disbandment and disgrace.

11. #11Lungmenselective

    Keys: Lungmen

    Lungmen is a nomadic city part of Yan, located between Kazdel and Ursus. It is governed by the Yan imperial family member Wei Yenwu and acts as a "special economic zone" with greater autonomy such as a largely independent government and economy, making it more progressive and open to foreign influences than Yan. Lungmen's prosperity and economic prowess is shown by their currency, Lungmen dollar (LMD), which is widely used in international transactions across Terra. A place of towering skyscrapers and bustling public transit, it is one of the most important economic centers of Yan.

12. #12Yumenselective

    Keys: Yumen

    Located in the furthest north of Yan wandering in the dry Gobi Desert, Yumen is a grand monument of Yan's Great Hunt that immortalizes the empire's victory against Sui and other Feranmuts. To this day, the city still serves as the sole garrison defending the incursion of the northern Collapsals and other surviving Feranmuts into the civilized world. The city is filled with thick iron walls, tall pagodas decorated with ornate lanterns, and brave soldiers under the leadership of Yan's Imperial Guards and the elite Tianshi. Day after day, countless warriors fall to the demonic power, yet Yumen still persists while standing alone in the wilderness and protecting both the empire and the whole of Terra. Under the administration of its general-magistrate Zuo Xuanliao and the military grandmaster Chongyue, the city's military is still maintaining such uplifting spirit for many decades.

13. #13Ursusselective

    Keys: Ursus

    A great empire with a mostly Ursus population. Its vast lands lie in the extreme north, and though it sits on a great wealth of mineral resources, much of its territory remains undeveloped. Under the leadership of the previous emperor, Ursus stepped down the path of industrialization and militarization, rapidly building its power by launching wars against neighboring countries. However, with its defeat in a war against Higashi and the igniting of tensions between the army and the nobility, Ursus finds itself in the midst of a turbulent societal revolution. Ursus is particularly infamous not only for its militaristic and xenophobic attitudes, but also for its cruel treatment of the Infected, who have become the target of pogroms carried out by the local patrol units. Those who manage to survive are usually sent to Originium mining camps in the vast Northern Tundra alongside political prisoners. They are subject to forced labor until they either die from their Oripathy or are systematically killed for the overseers and guards' entertainment. When an Originium mine becomes exhausted, the remaining prisoners are to be executed before the mines are destroyed.

14. #14Leithanienselective

    Keys: Leithanien

    Leithanien, formally referred to as the Kingdom of Leithanien, is a Terran country located between Kazimierz, Siracusa, Victoria, and Ursus and is made up of numerous semi-independent nomadic cities. Each Leithanian state is governed by a noble living inside a magical tower named the "Spire" who gives order to his subordinates. The monarchs (Kaisers) of Leithanien were previously determined by its Kurfürsten, but the political environment has changed drastically following the reign of the evil Witch King whose shadow is still casting onto the nation.

    Leithanien is famous for its academic studies on Originium Arts and the extensive use of Arts-based technologies such as the L-44 "Gramophones." Notably, the Leithanians are able to merge both music and Arts, and musical Arts is so prevalent that many Leithanian terms are named after voices and tones. However, its Arts supremacy often comes with the cost of sacrificing the basic rights of the local Infected to a point of using them as test subjects in the past. Discrimination against non-Arts users is also prevalent to a point of calling them "defects."

15. #15Kazimierzselective

    Keys: Kazimierz

    Kazimierz is a Terran country located between Columbia, Sami, Ursus, and Victoria. Dubbed the "Land of the Knights," Kazimierz is famed for its knightly traditions for generations. However, ever since the rise of Kazimierz's capitalists, such tradition has been gradually corrupted by greed, leading to the heavily commercialization of its triennial Kazimierz Major. While the bustling capitalism bolsters Kazimierz's economy and improves the citizens' livelihood, it also causes several social issues such as inequality in development between its rich mega-cities, i.e., the capital of Kawalerielki, and its remote, sedentary villages across its vast grasslands and forests, causing the common folks to suffer from poverty more than other nations. Although the Kazimierzian society has been much open as it modernizes, it still retains its old, feudal traditions like chattel slavery and hierarchical structures. In the Infected's case, they are outwardly treated better many other places in Terra; however, they are being discriminated behind the scenes such as gladiatorial fights between Infected competitive knights in both open and underground tournaments and living in underground ghettoes. Nevertheless, following the 24th Major season and the subsequent establishment of Rhodes Island's branch office in Kazimierz, the condition has been gradually improved.

16. #16Kawalerielkiselective

    Keys: Kawalerielki

    Full name Kawalerielki Alliance, the bustling capital is made up of four different nomadic cities and acts as the economic and cultural center of Kazimierz. As the revenue where the famed Kazimierz Major is held, the core city of Kawalerielki will select three of the best nomadic cities nearby and will dock together into one. During the season, tourists from around the world will flood the city whether to enjoy, to watch the match in the Roar Arena in its Central Division, or to take a visit to the Champion's Hall, the museum to commemorate both campaign and competitive knights, bringing the city a lucrative income. But in spite of its fame and richness on the outside, many poor people and Infected are cast into underground ghettoes where they are neglected by the aristocrats.

17. #17Kazimierz majorselective

    Keys: knight tournament, Kazimierz major

    The Kazimierz Major is a triennial event that takes place in Kazimierz every three years in its capital. It is a professional martial game competition/league pitting the knights into matches using the single, pairs, or free-for-all/battle royale formats. Indeed, the Major evolved from a festival held by the Kazimierzians to celebrate and honor their knights. In addition to direct combat, the preliminaries also contain other competitive activities such as racing. This makes the Major an amalgamation of gladiatorial combat, medieval knightly tournaments, and mixed martial arts on Earth.

18. #18Siestaselective

    Keys: Siesta

    Siesta is a Terran nation. It is an independent city-state under the nominal jurisdiction of Columbia whose original location was close to Victoria. It is well-known for the scenery of its tropical beaches and is located near a volcano that holds a vast reserve of obsidian deposits.

19. #19Iberiaselective

    Keys: Iberia

    Iberia, formally known as the Kingdom of Iberia, is a Terran country. It is a theocratic kingdom located on a band of peninsulas and flooded islands found on the southern coastlines of the Terran continent, located close to Laterano and Victoria. Originally ruled by secular kings and princes who spread the teachings of the Lateran Church to their people, the country is currently under the control of a religious order, the Inquisition, which has implemented strict and isolationist policies.

    Prior to its isolation from the outside world, however, Iberia was a prosperous maritime empire that acted as a pioneer to explore Terra's southernmost ocean. It almost became a superpower on land with its oceanic technologies and powerful naval fleet. However, following the Profound Silence, a mysterious natural disaster caused by the sea monsters, Iberia has since been locked in a sectarian conflict for decades, which caused the local Aegir populace to become the frequent targets of religious persecution.

20. #20Shangshuselective

    Keys: Shangshu

    Shangshu is a mountainous nomadic city of Yan. As the ancient proverb goes, “Shu's paths try, as climbing atop the heavens," Shangshu is a perfect example of mankind's conquest of nature in which the city was built on nomadic platforms along the mountain cliffs and valleys. Long ago, the city was a sedentary one in which the inhabitants decided to settle here around a thousand years ago, and legend says that the city's fore-bearers made the same dream that guided them here which they treated it as auspicious and sacred. As generations passed, frequent Catastrophes forced the people to migrate to a nomadic one. However, the Shangshuites did not wish to give up their hometown out of such cultural tribute, thus leading to this magnificent architecture constructed with the aid of brilliant Tumu tianshi. It is even said that some of its iconic mountains were relocated onto mobile platforms so that these natural landmarks could literally migrate together with the city whenever a Catastrophe arrives. Thanks to this new strategy that allows the city to escape from major disasters, Shangshu has been experiencing peace and prosperity for many years.

21. #21Columbiaselective

    Keys: Columbia

    Columbia, formally known as the Columbian Union, is a Terran country. It is a federal presidential republic and the only known democratic country in Terra, made up of various states with independent municipal governments and their own laws. A centralized federal government serves as the national government, with three branches: the legislative (the Union Congress), the executive led by its one and only President Mark Max, and the judiciary (the Union Supreme Court).

    Columbia is not only the youngest nation in Terra, but also a melting pot of various races and cultures around Terra. It is known for accelerating scientific progress in Terra, its modern technology, and the influence it exerts through mega-corporations and its extensive military. However, Columbia has increasingly expanded its influence over the continent over the years, to the point where it has become an expansionist superpower in Terra.

    Columbia has proclaimed itself to be a nation of "equity" where everyone, including the Infected and even the Sarkaz, is treated equally. On one hand, its treatment of minorities is indeed much better than other countries' (especially Ursus). However, the nation is secretly exploiting the Infected, the local Sarkaz community, and the commoners by enticing them to settle in the country's wastelands as its first pioneers, where Catastrophes are common, crime is rampant, and the land is yet undeveloped.

22. #22Tkarontoselective

    Keys: Tkaronto

    Tkaronto is a Columbian nomadic city acting as its garrison city at its southernmost border. Designed as trade city for the frontier pioneers, and laying across the Columbian border close to Sargon, Tkaronto is known for its bustling economic activity. It usually circles the country year-round, extracting resources and earning profit to the government.

    The 4th District Plate, designated as the Infected district, is considered the most bustling and colorful part of the city, however it is also a grey zone where not even the municipal government or the police can act or claim control over it.

23. #23Trimountsselective

    Keys: Trimounts

    Trimounts is a Columbian nomadic city where Rhine Lab's headquarters is located. Trimount was founded fifteen years ago (Terran year 1084) originally as a traveler's rest spot built by seven frontier pioneers with their three burdenbeasts upon reaching the barrenland, hence giving its name. As time passes, it eventually developed into a bustling nomadic city. It is also the heart of Columbia's scientific and technological advances spearheaded by the Trimounts Institute of Technology with notable graduates such as Kristen and Saria of R.L. and also Loken Williams the mad scientist. Along with R.L., the city is also the house of hundreds of technological and scientific companies as well as those having a considerable presence there such as Volvort Kochinski.

    On one hand, Trimounts is indeed a bustling technological hub filled with modern skyscrapers and paved roads. On the other hand, there are numerous frontier pioneers settled in the outskirts of the city, with many of them risking their lives exploring and settling in these uncharted deserts. Just like any other Columbian settlements, most of them are Infected from other areas doing cheap labor to help afford the premium insurance, get their freedom, and at least live another day.

24. #24Rhine labselective

    Keys: R.L., Rhine lab

    Rhine Lab LLC. (R.L.) is a Terran organization. It is a Columbian research institute and scientific consortium that is active in the fields of Originium, biology, and robotics, but has been marred with shady practices involving unethical, inhumane experiments. Nevertheless, it has a grand ambition to become Terra's pioneer in space expedition. Rhine Lab was founded by Dr. Kristen Wright and Saria in the year 1083 with the purpose of seeking scientific advancements and following the legacy of the former's parents in exploring space beyond Terra. R.L. came from humble beginnings with its first office being an old apartment near the founders' former college, the Trimounts Institute of Technology. R.L. eventually became one of Terra's biggest scientific organizations, famous throughout Terra for its Originium-related research and its uses in robotics, medicine, and ecological studies. It eventually upgraded into an LLC. in 1085, and through collaboration with the Maylander Association, began attracting more researchers to join the company. Kristen Wright became the Director of the Component Controls section and head of R.L. as a whole, while Saria took up the position as chief of the Defense section. Along with its scientific endeavors, the Maylander Association also helped R.L. start the Rhine Lab Pioneer Project: a series of archeological expedition programs to uncover ancient ruins, many of which actually belonged to the previous civilizations which once colonized Terra.

25. #25Victoriaselective

    Keys: Victoria

    A modern nation ruled by Draco and Aslan. It occupies the most fertile land in the central valleys of Terra, with vast borders and bountiful resources. It is surrounded by core allies and possesses multiple pioneer zones and exclaves. The Victorian Empire emphasizes might and expansion. It seeks to impose an international order upon Terra, with itself at the head. It is an order where noble rights are enforced at bladepoint, ensuring the survival of a Victorian-dominated world. Victoria, formally known as the Victorian Empire, is a Terran country located between Kazimierz, Ursus, and Leithanien, occupying the large fertile lands in the continent's central region. Though it is the homeland of the Dracos, its population is predominantly Feline. Historically, Victoria was ruled by the monarchs of both the Draco and Aslan house, but the throne of Victoria has been vacant for more than twenty years in present-day, with its Grand Dukes vying to control the country behind the scene.

    As a hegemonic and powerful empire, the Victorian military utilizes advanced weaponry, ranging from handheld cannons and piledriver spears to gigantic howitzers and even steam-powered armor. In terms of soft power, Victoria is also known for its ideals of liberty, romanticism and its rich culture. In present day, Victoria retains its influence across Terra, although internal division caused by a series of feuds between royal houses and strong competition from other rising industrial powers such as Kazimierz and Columbia are threatening to topple its position.

26. #26Londiniumselective

    Keys: Londinium

    As the center of Terra's mightiest superpower, the Victorian Empire, a title which used to belong to Lingones before the fall of Gaul, Londinium is the largest city in Victoria and and the seat of power for the Victorian monarchs. It is known for its impressive defense artillery system and massive iron walls, which have protected it for over seventy years and turned it into an invincible fortress. Its massive landship loading ports and and extensive train network are indicative of the city's economic prosperity. While modern skyscrapers have covered most of its surface, it still retains much of its archaic architecture— this includes its extensive underground substructures and the underground mausoleum, which houses the remains of former Victorian kings and is guarded by the remains of the Steam Knights. In the city's heart stands The Shard - the towering monument to the city's prosperity.

    Keys: Sargon

    Sargon, formally known as the Sargon Empire, is a Terran country located on its southernmost part bordering Minos, Siesta, Columbia, and Bolívar. It is a vast empire of diverse ethnicities comprising of both arid deserts and lush tropical jungles. As one of the oldest civilizations on Terra, its political power is quite formidable despite it has fallen into disunity and backwardness in modern era.

    Much of Sargon, especially the desert part, is divided among the various clans led by a Lord Ameer who answers to the Padishahs of Sargon. Both the Ameers and the Padishahs maintain an unstable balance of power through annual tributes and skirmishes or wars against each other, where they often employ Columbian and Sarkaz mercenaries. Even though the nation has a king, titled the "King of Kings", who lives inside the legendary "Golden City," he is a powerless nominal leader who could not stop the tribal conflicts.

    The jungle of eastern Sargon is mainly inhabited by primitive tribes composing of its native Archosaurian and Pythian races. Although the tribes maintain some degree of contact with the outside world, they still retain a unique tradition and culture that are totally different from the desert clans in the heartland of Sargon.

    Bolívar is a Terran country. It is a small country west of Columbia inhabited by small-sized races (predominantly Perro) with limited self-defense capabilities, known for its rich Originium deposits and a monarchy ruled by the Singas dynasty with a parliament as the legislature.

31. #31Reunionselective

    Keys: Reunion

    The Reunion Movement, commonly known as Reunion, is a paramilitary social movement of the Infected which seeks to end all forms of discrimination and oppression by Terran society against them. The origins of the Reunion Movement can be traced to the advent of Catastrophes in Terra, which lead to the proliferation of Originium and the Oripathy pandemic. Those who became Infected by Oripathy became marginalized members of society, as non-Infected began fearing that they were sources of disease. While many Infected attempted to find a peaceful solution, many united in their hatred of non-Infected and chose to utilize force to liberate themselves from the systematic oppression they faced.

32. #32Lateranoselective

    Keys: Laterano

    Laterano, formally known as Lateran City, is a Terran country which borders Iberia, Rim Billiton, Siracusa, and Victoria. It is a small, theocratic city-state and the homeland of the Sankta race with a decent population of Liberi who are descendants of Iberian immigrants. The nation is ruled by the Pope, the leader of the Lateran Church, with a constitution that guarantees thirteen rights to its citizens.

    As the "discoverer" of firearms, Laterano is notably the leading manufacturer of firearms that holds a monopoly over the industry in Terra. Laterano is also the only country with liberal gun laws in which all Laterans are mandated to own a "patron firearm" for self-defense, whether they are military personnel, law enforcement officers or civilians. However, a Lateran is required to get a permit before being allowed to use it. Until then, they can opt to use bows or crossbows as replacements. After one's passing away, the firearm must be retrieved by the Church officials before it will handed to someone else, especially younger generations. The usage of firearms in Laterano is so prevalent and advanced that the Apostolic Knights form the backbone of Laterano's military force.

    Despite being a theocracy, the Laterans are actually cheerful and open-minded with a unique yet bizarre culture. They are allowed to do anything, including demolishing buildings using their firearms as long as it is not in conflict with the constitution. Sankta funerals are usually hopeful ones where friends of the deceased gather to celebrate their soul's ascension. Even the current Pope has a laid-back attitude. Aside from these, Laterano is also known for their dessert culture such as gelato and their unique tarts. As for Infected citizens, once found to be Infected, they are forbidden to step foot inside the nation again (barring exceptional circumstances), but they still retain their rights of citizenship.

33. #33Sarkazselective

    Keys: Sarkaz

    Sarkaz are humanoids with exhibit a range of physical traits, from pairs of horns of varying shapes atop their heads to long, pointed ears and tails of differing shape and quality (such as having pointed ends or scales). However, some lack any of the aforementioned traits. This makes Sarkaz similar to demons in Abrahamic religions. While horns are common features among Sarkaz, horn-removal is also frequently practiced in order to conceal their identities; however, this is seen as an act of humiliation to some. Sarkaz are also known for having extended life spans that can last up to centuries or even millennia. They possess the special ability to maintain the collective racial memories which reside in their genes, especially those of the deceased which they call the "Nephesh", and see this as the calling of their souls—for instance, they can easily sense the deaths of other Sarkaz in the blink of a second.

34. #34Sanktaselective

    Keys: Sankta

    Sankta are humanoids with halos above their heads and luminescent "wings" of varying shapes and sizes on their backs. These make them reminiscent of the angels in the Abrahamic religions of our world. The Sankta's halo is a physical object, preventing them from wearing any tall headwear that would cover it (e.g. conical party hats) although they can still wear most headwear as long as it is not too tall. Their halos and wings will diminish upon death, and diseases or birth defects could affect them.

    As the representation of their race, their halos give them a sixth sense known as "empathy," which allows them to feel other Sankta's emotions when coming close to each other. However, the health of a Sankta depends on their halos. One significant empathy disorder illness, called "Errari", could strongly affect their emotions and communication skills. It is predominantly found among Sankta who have left from their homeland for a long period of time and are unfamiliar with the Sankta culture. Although this does not bring harm to the bodies, it makes the patients confused when trying to use their empathy sense such as not able to understand one's inner feeling.

Those who are called the "true wolves" are the "Wolf Fangs", representatives of the Siracusan "Signore dei Lupi", who carry out the will of those wolf Beast Lords as part of their ancient proxy war. A "lone wolf" is a Siracusan derogatory term for a Lupine outcast from one's famiglia. Basically, they're wolf people.

37. #37Vulposelective

    Keys: Vulpo, Vulpine

    A race of Terra. Vulpoes have the traits of foxes, specifically those of the Vulpini tribe, in which they possess a larger pair of ears and a fluffier tail unlike Lupus. A few of them may have multiple tails due to genetic heritage. Basically, they're fox people, like kitsunes

    Keys: Aegir

    Aegir have the traits of various aquatic animals such as fishes, cetaceans, cephalopods, echinoderms, cnidarians (Medusozoans and Anthozoans), crustaceans, and pinnipeds. However, most Aegir are entirely humanoid (although some have tentacles), making their bestial traits barely noticeable.

    All Aegir come from the oceans beyond the known world of Terra. On land, the Aegirs face the issues of dry skin. If left untreated, they will face severe symptoms ranging from allergic reactions, chafing, and seizures. Because of this, they always make sure that their skin is moist whenever possible, such as carrying a small bottle of water as moisturizer. Ironically, despite being an oceanic race, most Aegir are unable to breathe underwater with certain exceptions (prominently the Abyssal Hunters), hence why many Aegir cities are built within domes.

    Because of their shared place of origin, Aegir can easily be corrupted into Seaborn either through scientific experiments, by succumbing to the monsters' alluring influence on the mind, or by being forcefully implanted with Seaborn cells.

    Currently, only Iberia and Higashi among all land nations are known to have a significant Aegir population. While they have been facing hostility and discrimination following the Silence in Iberia, they seems to be treated as equals in Higashi, with some like Akafuyu's family even obtaining noble status. Columbia and Yan are also known to have Aegir citizens.

    Keys: "We many", Seaborn

    The Seaborn are hyper-adaptive aquatic creatures hailing from the abyss of Terra's oceans. They evolve incredibly fast and possess the ability to mutate their own somatic cells without relying on generational heredity. Unlike the Aegir race who also inhabit the oceans, the Seaborn possess a hive mind (more like collective consciousness) called the Many (We Many in their perspective) that they sometimes use to refer to their race as a whole, thus giving them a collective ultimate goal: the survival of their own kin. Even then, sophisticated Seaborn may have partial individuality, allowing them to sever themselves from the Many. Because of their strong adaptivity, they are constantly absorbing new information from the Terrans and use it to further their evolutionary progress. The Seaborn, specifically the Many, are notably worshipped by the cultists of the Church of the Deep as they see it as a utopian goal that could end Terra's never-ending turmoil.

45. #45Abyssal huntersselective

    Keys: Abyssal hunters, Abyssals

    The Abyssal Hunters, sometimes simply known as the Abyssal, are an organization in Arknights whose mission is to keep the sea monsters in check and prevent their invasion of the land. Their eerie background makes them both mysterious and dangerous to the land-dwellers of Terra. The Abyssal Hunters consist of Aegir-Seaborn hybrid "super soldiers" created by the Aegirians as a countermeasure against the Seaborn, hence its name that derives from the Seaborn's origin. The process of creating Abyssal Hunters contains many different advanced procedures, and the candidates are chosen from among the whole Aegir population, regardless of their previous status or occupation.

    Abyssal Hunters possess unusually high physical strength, endurance, and speed, far surpassing regular Terrans. Their physical and psychological engineering is necessary to withstand the Seaborn's might and horror. They exclusively use "primitive" melee weapons to emphasize their physical prowess as well as preventing their enemies from evolving countermeasures against their advanced technologies.

46. #46Caprinaeselective

    Keys: Caprinae

    A race of Terra. Caprinae have the traits of goats (Capra sp.) and sheep (Ovis sp.), which can be seen from the shape of their horns.

    Most Caprinae are known to be born in Leithanien.

47. #47Felineselective

    Keys: Feline

    A race of Terra. Felines have the traits of feliforms, which includes domestic cats (Felis sp.), non-domestic cats including big cats (Panthera sp.) except lions (who are classified as Aslan instead) and mongooses. Their feliform traits are visible from the shape of their ears and tail, and their reputation as stealthy prowlers.

    Most Felines (with exceptions) are from Victoria. So basically nekomimis.

48. #48Aslanselective

    Keys: Aslan

    A race of Terra. Aslans have the traits of lions (Panthera leo), which can be seen from the shape of their ears and tail, as well as their mane-like hair.

    Aslans originally came from present-day Sargon and became the ruling class of Victoria alongside the Draco, with whom they had conflict with early on. Most Aslans were purged by a popular uprising and were sent into exile, beginning Victoria's royal feud.

    It is later claimed by the Sanguinarch that the Aslans might actually be Felines who only labeled themselves as a different race to solidify their claim to the Victorian throne.

49. #49Rebbahselective

    Keys: Rebbah, Reprobas

    A race of Terra. Rebbahs/Reprobas have the traits of hyenas, which can be seen from the shape of their ears and tails.

50. #50Cautusselective

    Keys: Cautus

    A race of Terra. Cautuses have the traits of leporids (rabbits and hares), which can be seen from the shape of their ears. They do have tails, which is largely unnoticeable due to the short length. They are often nicknamed "rabbit".

    Most Cautuses are born in Rim Billiton. Bunny girls are very cute.
