Background
Saint-Arkh is the oldest city in Erebonia.

It serves as the imperial capital for a century from S.270 onward. After Dark Dragon Zoro-Agruga occupied Heimdallr and turned the city into a necropolis, Emperor Astorius II and other citizens were forced to leave the city and moved the capital to Sainkt-Arkh. One century later, Emperor Hector I reclaimed the necropolis and had a new Heimdallr as capital of Erebonia built.

In S.1175, Saint-Arkh was connected to the early railroad network in Erebonia.
