Overview
Arcadia has produced hundreds of regiments; once a regiment is disbanded or destroyed, a successor Arcadian regiment will often assume its number in order to keep alive the traditions and history of the regiment. It is common for Arcadian Guardsmen to have a spider facial tattoo, signifying their membership in Arcadia's Cult of the Spider.[1]
