The Kaingan Arch

The Kaingan Arch is a ruined Arcology that was destroyed after The Cutting of Ark, now only a portion of it remains standing, and a village has built itself from the ruins.

The Kaingan Arch sits above us, enveloped in clouds. It reminds me every day of the world we once had. I hope that out there in the stars, they are building more.

— Chieftan of Kainga

An Arch-ology

The Kaingan Arch spans the entire with of the Waimana Valley. While it used to be supported on both sides, after The Cutting of Ark, half of the archway has collapsed into the valley below, sheared from it's base support on the Kaingan side of the valley.

Before the Cutting, the Archway supported the living arrangements, amenities, and services for the employees of WorldBiotic. Those who lived i nthe Arch reported to work below the surface into a complex that streched all the way down to the base of the valley into an entire company complex.

Coated in Clouds

The Archways are the only construction that sticks above the protective wall of the valleys, allowing it to be in direct sunlight. In order to help maintain livability, the Archway was created with a series of terraformers that cast the archway in a protective layer of clouds.

The Cloud layer spins in lazy circles around the archway, twisting and roiling like a storm contained within an invisible mold. On a dark and clear night, one can see the dull blue lights behind the clouds that illuminate the arch's remaining structure.

Some of the terraformers are showing corruptions from disrepair, some sections of the arcology are trapped in permenant storm clouds.
