It consists of a large number of rivers, mountains, and islands, giving it a diverse climate and geography. These rivers feed into the agricultural industry, and are comprised of the Cochrane, Upper Cochrane, Leigh, North Innis, Lower Innis, West Innis, and Dale. Islands in Arcerion are all located within Foxhey Governorate, in the Malentine Sea. Arcerion is one of the largest nations in South Crona, and the only mainland AEngle-majority country. | ||
Arcerion's landscapes are varied, and consist of wide lowlands plains in the central Arcer Heartland, the Aileach Mountain Range to the South, and Northumbraeland Mountains to the North. In Foxhey, volcanic islands with lush farms and fields give way to black sand beaches, making it a popular tourist destination for Occidental peoples. Temperatures in the Arcer Heartland commonly fall below 0 °C, and rise above 30 °C depending on the seasons. Conditions vary from wet and cold in the mountains to hot and dry in the lowland plains depending on season, but the climate is generally classified as temperate inland, where cool temperatures and frequent cloudy skies are typical for the moderate four seasons, but mountainous and arid high desert climates occupy the sparsely populated areas and have more varied temperatures and weather. | Arcerion's landscapes are varied, and consist of wide lowlands plains in the central Arcer Heartland, the Aileach Mountain Range to the South, and Northumbraeland Mountains to the North.

The vast majority of Arcerion's landscape is economically useful, especially the fertile and arid Arcer Heartland, owing to freshwater rivers and effective irrigation strategies. Generally, the population is dispersed along the major rivers and along the Songun and Malentine coasts, the traditional landing and settlement points from the Carnish Colonial settlement. 70% of Arcerion's population is located within the coastal governorate of [[Moorden Governorate|Moorden]] and the Heartland governorate of Northlea. Kurst and Kinnaird respectively are the most populous metropolitan areas. | The vast majority of Arcerion's landscape is economically useful, especially the fertile and arid Arcer Heartland, owing to freshwater rivers and effective irrigation strategies.

Arcerion is dominated by two major moutntain ranges, those being the [[Aileach Mountains]] and the [[Northumbraeland Mountains]]. Arcerion has a limited amount of volcanic activity, most of it occurring in Foxhey Governorate. There are two major glaciers in Arcerion, the Aileach Glacier, located at the Eastern edges of the Aileach mountains, and the Northern Heartland Glacier, in the Northwestern portion of the Northumbraeland Mountains. In general, Arcerion is a country of lowland plains and moorland, with little to no volcanic activity. It has 12 peaks of more than 3,000 metres, the majority of these being located in the Aileach Mountains. The closest nation in terms of surpassing mountainous geography would be Arcerion's neighbour, [[Paulastra]].
