Welcome to the Arcane Kingdom. Weather is usually cold on this side of the waterfall, snow, blizzards and storms here being common weather, which suites Arcane deer perfectly since their bloods are warm, and the constant cool temperature is just right.
Deer here are the most brave and adventurous. Its simply in their blood to be this way. The hero. The protectors. The rush they get for battling monsters in the cave of north is something Floral deer will never understand.
The central of the Arcane Kingdom has a cobbled centre in which carts will pass by selling things. invisibility potions, Freezing potions, any none healing potions you can yet your hands on to help battling in the cave of North.
This is also where weekly sports events will take place, like archery competitions for example.
Some say all Deer here are "Reckless" and "Selfish". But this is simply not the case. Sure, by the time they have reached the age of ten in Arcal years, they have lost around 10 of their 24 lives.
But at that point, they begin to realize the importance of their Armour. As they grow older they begin to make calculated choices, and it becomes rare for the rest of their 24 lives to be lost. And if Arcane Deer were truly selfish, why would they feel a good rush by protecting Arcal?
Character ⓇTodd.To put everything simply... Arcane deer are Battle deer, that very much enjoy battling. It runs through their blood. The rush to be a hero and prove themselves is what fuels them. Floral deer have a disliking for them as although they can be seen as protectors of Arcal, they believe they take it too far by venturing too deep into the caves, angering the beasts inside them. Floral deer believe that beasts should only be fought when they leave the caves, Arcane deer believe that mindset is not a very good one should they wish not to eventually have an army of monsters taking over Arcal. What Floral Deer will never understand, is how their powerful magic and battling, is simply their way of life. Like asking a cat to bark, you cannot simply ask a Arcane Deer to "Stop Battling." This is why, when deer to go drink at the waterfalls edge, a lot of arguing can happen between Floral & Arcane deer from across the water.
What are Arcane Deer?Arcane deer live on the right side of the waterfall. These deer can be known as the protectors of Arcal, as with many caves on their side, they enjoy exploring them and battling the monsters and beasts that are inside them. These beasts, who are trying to break free and run rampage on the whole of Arcal Luckily, never do, all thanks to these battle deer known as Arcane deer. Although Arcane deer are heavily reliant on their staff as it holds a powerful destruction magic in which they use to battle the beasts, they are heavily reliant on their magic for day to day use too.
Want to listen to some music? Arcane deer with enchant three violins to play above them in the air. Want some Acorn Hazel Tea? Arcane deer have already enchanted the teacup to pour more tea out once the cup is empty. Arcane deer can take their magic for granted, as they use it so often it's apart of their lives.
Character ⓇCosmic~Wallaby
Yes! There are many different staffs. On the day of the birth of an arcane deer, their mother and father will decide upon the type of tree they break a very small branch off. It doesn’t seem like much. The little branch, is nothing more then a small twig. However, as they age in their deer ages, the little twig grows bigger, and bigger. At their 200th year birthday, (the age of 18 in deer years) Deers will attend “The Staff Awakening" to which a head will appear on top of it. Although at a younger age, the staff can preform a very weak type of magic, It doesn’t truly do anything properly until the head grows on top of it.
What is the staff Awakening?"The Staff Awakening." happens when a Young Arcane Stag or Doe comes of age. (200 years, which is the equivalent of 18.) They will be lead up to the tree their parents plucked the tiny twig from when they were born, and stand under it. Alongside the deer friends that they asked to come. (Usually the whole Arcane Kingdom gathers to a staff awakening...) They will lay their staff onto the grass, and then they will pluck enough leaves from the said tree, until the whole staff is covered in them. A speech will usually take place by their loved ones, and by the time they remove all the leaves, a head that wasn't there before, will appear on the very top of the staff. It's a very special time for an Arcane Deer.
How many lives does an Arcane Deer Have?Arcane deer, like every other deer of Arcal, lives until 800 years. Royalty live until they are 2000. However, Arcane deer have something special, they have 24 lives. They could lose one of them in battle, but then be instantly brought back to life.Strangely enough, whenever an Arcane Deer has been in a battle long enough to lose a life, they will wake up somewhere else, in a safer environment. No one knows what transports them there. Although some have their own theories, it’s widely accepted that it’s part of the magic of the Forest Kingdom, trying to protect it’s residents.

No. They cannot. Everything must end at some point. The usual living life for a Deer of the Forest kingdom is 800. (Unless you are Royalty. Then life can be ongoing for two thousand years.) Longer then this, has never happened.
In fact, even with 24 lives, it’s most common now-a-days- for a Arcane Deer to have a shorter life expectancy then floral deer. This is because on average, at the age of 200, (18 in deer years- when they become recognised no longer as a deerling, but a stag or doe.) An Arcane deer has already lost around ten of those lives. (Due to Arcane Deer being adventurous, and even in their childhood, believing they are more stronger then they are, taking on things much bigger then them, that they shouldn’t. Especially since before they turn 18, their staff hasn’t even fully grown yet to produce the magic they need.)
This in result leaves them with 14 lives for the next 600 years, in which they must try to maintain their lives as they go off adventuring in the Cave of North. Some do not make it to 800 years, but most do.
Seeing into the futureArcane deer can see the future, but there ability to see is never through dreams like Floral Deer. In fact, they can usually see the future by choice, as they look deep into their staff. A powerful magic has to be learnt to see the future at choice though. Most Deer usually get the hang of it after 300 years, if they study hard enough. But at 200, (18 in deer years- The years deer deerling, but as a stag or Doe) they can start seeing things, and start improving on their magic to see into the future. However, if not practiced hard, and often, when looking into a staff, a vision will be weak, and not last very long.
Just because Arcane deers can see into the future, does not mean that they are all knowing, however. For example, if someone was to wonder who they was going to marry, so they could try and find that deer- the staff’s image would remain foggy. The same goes for if another deer was trying to look into the future for any malicious reasons. It’s almost as if, the kingdom itself has a certain magic seal, which refuses to reveal the future for personal gain, or malicious reasoning.
However, “show me a certain deer” most likely works if you are the parent of a deer wishing to find them. Or a friend, trying to find another friend with great ease.
Floral deer do not possess this power to see the future, or to see the present at their own will.
Character ⓇTodd.
There are many caves in which beasts live on the Arcane side of the waterfall, But the Cave of North is the one closest to the waterfall, and so is the main and most common cave Arcane deer will battle in. It is an Arcane Deer’s Job to make sure they stay away from the Arcal mainland. This Is actually a very usual job for an Arcane Deer, battling inside the cave, so that the monsters and beasts do not run rampage through Arcal. It is usually very dark inside the cave. Fawns who go there are not able to illuminate the cave, as their staff head has not grown yet. And so they vary lanterns when they are feeling daring. Treasure can be found inside this cave, and then taken home.
