Arboresian Territories Lore

Arboresia is comprised of 6 territories of varying sizes, the borders of which constantly change. The cultures of each region are WILDLY unique and the Arboresians who call them home are passionately loud about how amazing they are.

Magic is the main influence of this, of course, even down to how the climate functions differently in each region. What do you mean there’s a blizzard in one territory and its 90°F in the one right next door? Magic fucking said so, that’s why. Earth’s regional climate logic be damned.

Four out of six of these territories are referred to as the Primary Territories. These four have cultures and names that revolve around the four seasons, which arguably is the phenomena that contributes most to making nature so beautiful, as it influences the flora and fauna. Fitting nature-inspired regions for the nature-loving country. These four primary territories are Autumn Hallow, Goldray, Bloomshine, and Fort Frost.

Arboresia also has micro-territories such as the Metsuki Kingdom, and disbanded territories such as Obsidimoore. These are not major enough to get a section elaborating on them, but I might change my mind on that.

A lot of territory culture and the expansion on how these territories are so cool come in the form of headcanons and such that don’t fit the format of this post, but that can be remedied by asks or other posts. One way or another I’ll find a way to convey how awesome and unique each territory is.

All flags below have been made by @deaths-presence​!

The 6 Arboresian territories are:

Autumn Hallow

Goldray

Bloomshine

Fort Frost

Jazswing

Scornwood

Natives in each territory are called:

Autumn Hallow: Autumn Hallowans

Bloomshine: Bloomshiners

Goldray: Goldrasians

Fort Frost: Frostians

Jazswing: Jazswingers

Scornwood: Scornwoodians

Autumn Hallow

The Autumn Territory, obviously. To nobody’s surprise, the spooky and magical supernaturals founded the Autumn and Halloween-themed territory first. Here, magic and power are loudly celebrated. October is Supernatural Pride Month and Halloween is the biggest, most extravagant and magical holiday in not just the territory, but perhaps the entire country. Autumn Hallowans party HARD and there is nothing more significant to them than being your true spooky self, no matter how terrifying or weird. Autumn Hallow is the most densely populated with supernaturals, though the entire country is comprised of them.

Territory Flag:

Goldray

The Summer-themed, yeehaw territory. Blend yeehaw aesthetic & hot girl summer. This territory is all about warmth and summer fun. If Arboresian agriculture isn’t coming from Autumn Hallow, it’s coming from here. Go to any rural American state, or fuck, just stand in a cornfield somewhere. There ya go, it’s Goldray. Arboresia has an entire population of Florida Man equivalents and they live here.

Territory Flag:

Bloomshine

The Spring-themed territory. Here, nature is even more everything than it is in the rest of the country. Litter is a felony and nature prevails over all. This territory is incredibly green and full of colorful plants and the most mystifying creatures you’ll ever see, even in its biggest cities. It’s very easy to mistake this territory for a rainforest or some kind of insane fae realm. Everything here is mythical and full of whimsy. Bloomshine is heavily populated by elves and other mythical creatures, rather than supernatural. Fairies, satyrs, unicorns, all of it.

Territory Flag:

Fort Frost

The Winter-themed territory. It’s like a free trial of what its like to live in Antarctica during the Winter, and during the other three seasons it’s a more accessible version of Alaska. Despite Autumn Hallow’s... everything, Fort Frost is the territory that terrifies Arboresians the most. Shit here is just another level of wild and scary. Internet cryptids found footage type scary. Yetis are real and they fucking live here. But even with an array of massive, deadly creatures both normal and mythical, Fort Frost still has all the cozy and gorgeous winter wonderland things all you cold weather enjoyers love the most.

Territory Flag:

Jazswing

The American 1920s called, they want their aesthetic back. For some reason a bunch of Arboresians (maybe who were American immigrants? But nobody knows for sure) fell in love with the aesthetic of being party animals with bomb ass fashion, so they made a territory about it. Jazswing is a territory of music, fashion, and living the high life no matter how poor or wealthy you are. The territory also has a reputation for not only bringing back the good parts of the American 20s and the arts, but it holds Arboresia’s biggest port, which is a popular spot for tourists, and modern day pirates. But most notable of all, Jazswing has a not-so-subtle and very present underworld of crime. Mafias, hitmen, bootlegging, drug dealers, the whole package. Jazswing has a rich culture that goes deep, but you best be careful about how far into it you venture.

Territory Flag:

Scornwood

Steampunk isn’t out of fashion or purely fantasy, you’re just a pleb who hasn’t visited Scornwood, Arboresia. Its a place of innovation, traditional magic like alchemy, and the coolest parts of the steampunk scene, especially the fashion and cool gadgets. Live your spunky sci-fi dreams here. Don your goggles, top-hats, pinstriped clothes and smother everything you own in gears. This is the territory for you. Scornwood loves tradition, and can be very exclusive about what or who enters it to avoid modernity tainting the things that make it special. They don’t live a strict no-tech lifestyle whatsoever, in fact they LOVE the stuff, but it absolutely MUST fit the culture. None of that sleek chrome bullshit.

Character Introduction: Arboresians

WIP: Roleplay characters, but most make appearances in my WIPs in either alternate forms or just as cameos.

Everyone in this set lives in/is from the continent of Arboresia, which belongs to @isas-oc-asylum​ . That is also where you can find more lore about Arboresia and the different territories as a whole. Most of mine live in the territory of Goldray because the yeehaw cryptid aesthetic is my thing and Isa has not stopped me yet.

Robert DeLuna: Robert is actually the uncle of Emily and Pickle Ward from A Hero’s Call. Officially classified as missing quite a few years ago, Robert had fallen through an interdimensional rift and landed in Arboresia. Despite being only human, he adapted to the insanity of Arboresia pretty quickly. At some point along the way, he met his future wife Lyzellia DeLuna, one of the many, many, many children of Lucifer DeLuna II and a Spawn class demon. They live in Goldray and have like 6 children, and he took on her last name when they married, since no one fucks with the DeLunas.

Spencer Black: A trans man and a necromancer who works as the mortician for one of the towns in Goldray. He’s a bit dramatic and likes to just lie to people about things and make up stories because it’s entertaining to screw with people, but he does genuinely care about the people in his town. He also has a chicken he resurrected named Ferris who is his best friend.

[insert reference here]

Kiztruth Rinnar: Kiz is a high class demon whose entire family was killed by exorcists, save for one of his younger siblings, who he managed to save. Angry and bitter, he led a violent anti-religious group that targeted and killed Catholics and anyone else who got in their way. However, after an incident in which an entire family of innocents was killed, his group turned on him and he was forced to flee. Kiz grew up in the early 1800′s, and at some point later in that century he came across Henry “Doc” Svane and made a deal with him. Now, he and Doc have their own ranch property in Goldray where Kiz performs weird experiments in the barn and gets harassed by the DeLuna children.

Henry "Doc" Svane: A notorious moonshiner and general menace to society, Doc made a deal with Kiz in the late 1800's and eventually the two moved in together. He is surly, hard to get along with, and almost never sober, but he makes explosively good moonshine, which he illegally sells in Jazswing. He also sells it to the other territories, but Jazswing is his biggest customer.

Casslin Hawraek: Casslin is an eldritch elf that lives in the territory of Bloomshine. After a series of tragic events in her past, she had her memories tampered with, and as a result she's not quite all there. In true eldritch elf fashion, she lives in the woods and tends to be a menace to the non-locals. Also in true elf fashion, she does not believe in clothes and often wears either nothing, or just a long coat that she stole from a hapless tourist.

Maskna Wynvaris: Maskna is a toxic elf who lives in Autumn Hallow and who sells illegal potions and poisons in the Underhallow, basically the Autumn Hallowan black market. Doc gets some of his more mysterious (and dangerous) moonshine ingredients from her. She is hot-tempered and always down to kick your ass, a fight you will probably lose because toxic elves can spit acid.

[insert reference here]

Marla Jenkins: Marla is a partial Void creature who lives in Goldray. Whether or not she was originally Arboresian is up for debate, as she doesn't talk about her past a lot. She is not very stable mentally, like most partial Void creatures, and while she seems unassuming at first glance, some have reported seeing her turn into something far worse when provoked.

Alcina and Michael Rivia: Alcina and Michael are twin glitch demons whose parents were killed when they were very young. As a result, they were raised by a non-demon, hence their non-demonic names. They used to be very, very close, but then Michael started killing. Upset at the world, he targeted extremely powerful beings in order to challenge himself, and soon enough he became a notorious serial killer.

When Alcina found out what her brother was doing, she trapped him in the basement of an old abandoned house, as she was unable to bring herself to kill him. Currently in rp canon, Alcina works at the Autumn Hallow public library as the computer person.

[insert reference here]

Patchwork Salo: They only just decided to exist, so they don't have much to them yet, but Patchwork is an eldritch horror that takes the form of a scarecrow. They live on a farm on the Goldray/Autumn Hallow border. The entire property is haunted and thought to be cursed in some way, and Patchwork regularly hosts haunted attractions, corn mazes, and other Halloween attractions. They are really good friends with Lyniaas DeLuna, the Eldritch Prince and one of the many, many children of Lucifer DeLuna II.

Warrior names for the young cats in River

I saw a video on YouTube by Mapletail of Riverclan where she gave the kits and apprentices warrior names. I haven’t watched the video yet because I wanted to do it myself first, but I’ll definitely watch it after this.

Because I’m basing this off of the cats who are kits or apprentices at the end of River, there could be spoilers. You have been warned.

TunderClan:  Let’s start with ThunderClan’s only litter, the one of Spotfur. For Bristlekit the names that came to mind immediately were Bristleshade (Bristlefrost’s death in the Dark Forest), Bristleleaf (Stemleaf) and Bristlelight (Bristlefrost’s a light in the mist).  And though they sound nice, I wasn’t very happy with them. Because Bristlekit already has a legacy-prefix I didn’t want her to also have a legacy-suffix.  So I started thinking of other names like Bristlepool, Bristlecloud or more basic suffixes like Bristlestripe or Bristlefur.  In the end I like Bristlecloud the most. 

For Graykit I started with names fitting his appearance like Grayspots or Grayspeckle. Then I also have some legacy suffixes in Graylight or Graymist (y’know, lights in the mist).  Other names I like are Graystorm or Grayhaze.  The ones I like the most are Grayspeckle or Graystorm.  Stemkit is next. Stem- is a hard prefix. I only found appearance-suffixes like Stemstripe or Stemfur, or some more nature based suffixes like Stembloom, Stemflower or Stemblossom.  I like Stemflower the most.  ShadowClan:  Next up are the also legacy named kits of Dovewing. For Rowankit I found Rowanstripe as a cute basic name and Rowanshade because of his dark pelt color.  Other than that I found two nature-names in Rowanleaf and Rowanbloom.  I think all four of them are really really cute and I can’t pick a favorite.  For his brother Birchkit I only found two names. Birchlight for his light brown fur and Birchleaf as y’know … trees. I know, I wasn’t very creative with those two.  Anyway, I like Birchlight the most.  Next we come to Cinnamontail’s kits. For Firkit I found a name very easily, because I have an OC who was named Firlight, before I had to rename her. Her new name Firmoon could also fit. But of course I don’t just want to give Firkit the names of my OC, so I also have Firstripe, Firpelt or Firheart.  Because I’m biased I like Firlight the most.  His sister Streamkit is a hard one, because it’s a new prefix. After a very long time I found the names Streamshine, Streamfur and Streamclaw.  Streamshine I like the most. 

Bloomkit also has a new prefix, I think. But I found it easier to find names for her. I have Bloomnight and Bloomshade for her black pelt, or Bloompetal or Bloomstem as a nature-suffix.  But I also have Bloomheart, Bloomfur and Bloomshine as random names.  I like Bloomnight or Bloomheart the most.  The last one in their litter is Whisperkit. For his first name I stole his sisters prefix to make Whisperstream.  But I also like Whispercloud or Whisperfur.  Whispercloud is my favorite. 

SkyClan:  SkyClan is the first Clan on this list with apprentices, so let’s start with them. For Beetlepaw I only found a few. Beetlespeckle for his appearance, Beetleflight fitting his prefix or Beetleshine.  I like Beetleflight the most.  His sister Beepaw has a better prefix. At least for findig suffixes. I have Beesong or Beeflight fitting the prefix perfectly. Beestripe or Beefur are also cute names.  Beesong is definitely my favorite.  Next up are SkyClan’s kits. For Ridgekit I found many pretty names. Some fiery names for her pelt color like Ridgeflame, Ridgefire or Ridgespark.  Some others are Ridgeclaw, Ridgenose or Ridgepelt.  My favorite is either Ridgeflame or Ridgespark.  For her brother Duskkit the names Dusklight, Duskshine and Dusksky immediately came to mind, because they were so perfect for his prefix.  I really like all of them.  WindClan:  Whistlepaw will probably get her medicine cat name soon, but she doesn’t have it yet, so I’ll tell you my ideas. My favorite is definitely Whistlenight, but I also thought about Whistlestripe or Whistlefern. 

Now let’s come to Larkwing’s kits. Stripekit was also a hard one, because not many suffixes seemed to fit. So I just went with the obvious choices of Stripefur, Stripepelt and Stripetail.  I think all of them are kinda boring, but Stripetail is the best one.  Brookkit wasn’t easier, I just found one name: Brookstream.  RiverClan:  Now we have the litter of our new Protagonist. So let’s start with Frostpaw. For her I had many ideas. Some legacy names are Frostfeather (Curlfeather), Frostclaw (Jayclaw) and Frostshine (Willowshine).  I also like Frostlight and the last one is Frostsight, based on her special connection to StarClan.  I like Frostfeather or Frostlight the most.  Her sister Mistpaw has the same legacy suffixes in Mistfeather and Mistclaw. But for her I also like the names Mistsnow or Mistspeckle.  My favorite’s Mistsnow.  Last but not least we have Graypaw. He was difficult because I wanted to have different suffixes for him than for Graykit. Of course we have legacy names Grayfeather and Grayclaw.  But I also found some cool RiverClan sounding names like Graycloud, Graysplash and Graystream.  I like Graysplash or Grayclaw the most.  If you read all of that, thank you. Those names are just my personal opinions and you can argue with me if you want. I would love to hear your thoughts.
