Lore

The fundamental lore in the world of Arcadia in  revolves largely around the Chosen and the Fallen.

The Chosen and the Creed
The Chosen are a medieval society that live on the surface of Arcadia. They are highly religious, following the Creed, a faith based in worship of the Daystar.

Exile and the Fallen
Disbelief and doubt of the Creed is not tolerated by the Chosen. Heretics are exiled via a drop into a great rift leading deep underground, likely with the purpose of killing them. Unbeknownst to the Chosen, however, their exiles not only survive the drop, but are thriving beneath the surface. These Fallen have a constructed a high-tech underground society with the great city of Bastion at its center.
