The Province of Caer Eidos consists of three islands: Sekent, Kemeri, and Nisan. Its rugged terrain has served as a natural protection to the human communities that settled there after the Great Wandering. It is at the junction of these three islands that the city of Arkaster was built, with the early Asgarthans deciding to exploit the high cliffs to construct numerous troglodyte dwellings. These residences, some of which have become luxurious palaces, continue to be visible in the twin districts of Kuth Kanat and Tesh Kanat.
The isthmus of Caer Eidos is traversed by fjords and narrow canals. Its topography takes the form of a compact cluster of islets and stacks standing like needles, spines, and sharp teeth. Its highest point is the Acus, located just next to Arkaster, with its summit reaching 1,535 ft (468 m). The coastlines of the isthmus are mostly composed of white, striated mega-cliffs, covered with lush grass and home to a myriad of seabirds.
Caer Eidos, due to the presence of the capital, is considered the nerve center of the Asgarthan Protectorate. It is the historical heart of Asgarthan civilization, as well as the starting point of a new industrial revolution under the auspices of the Axiom. In recent years, the isthmus has been hosting a growing population: it is indeed there that the bulk of the contingents dedicated to the Rediscovery Endeavor are stationed.
