Arkai
Arkai (the plural of Arkus) are natural leaders of the Ninth World, using wit, rhetoric, and the strength of working together to overcome problems. “Arkus” is the common vernacular used by humans in the Steadfast and the Beyond for any person skilled in governing others, but in truth, it applies only to those who are specially gifted in leadership. Arkai have the potential to spearhead armies, cities, or even entire regions, because their abilities surpass those who are merely good at running a long confidence game.
