Arkarain (pronounced ark-arr-ANE) was a short-lived nation on the eastern coastline of the Sea of Khoros. Established in Y9721* as a colony under the joint efforts of the Nasidiena senatorial family of Eryx and several wealthy mercantile benefactors based around the Bay of Ertan, Arkarain was founded with the intent of exploiting the natural resources believed to be plentiful in the arid lands near the coast. Despite the small chunks of bone metal found by earlier explorers, larger deposits of the valuable material were never discovered, and by Y9780* Arkarain was functionally abandoned. Most of its remaining population either returned to Viridia or went south to Nulborokz and Adroveer.
