Arcerion also has a special relationship with the [[Istroyan Games]], as the capital city of Kurst was the first Cronan city to old the Olympiad event since its founding, with the Kurst Sumer Games held in 1970. This was to be followed decades later by the 2034 Kinnaird Summer Games, the second time Arcerion was to host the summer games. Arcerion also holds the distinguishing feat of being the first nation to host winter games in Crona, with the 1984 Easthampton Winter games, which was a chance for Arcerion, recently out of the Fourth Bush War, to display the beauty of the Ailach mountains and how modern of a city Easthampton was. Arcerion held a fourth Istroyan Games on its home soil in 2016, utilizing the older Easthampton facilities with less than a year's notice as the games were originally intended for Akwesasne, [[Quetzenkel]] but had to be relocated due to the [[South Nysdra War]]. Notably, Arcerion won gold in the Coria 1954 Summer Games for Men's Rugby Sevens, with their subsequent appearance in the Cancale 1958 Summer Games winning bronze. | Arcerion also has a special relationship with the [[Istroyan Games]], as the capital city of Kurst was the first Cronan city to old the Olympiad event since its founding, with the Kurst Sumer Games held in 1970.
