Arknights Codexery

Terra

Terra is characterized by extensive geographical diversity, from scorching deserts to arctic tundra.[1] Catastrophes, destructive natural disasters caused by Originium, have led Terran civilizations to adopt mobile nomadic cities.[1] Arknights' main setting is a fictional world called Terra.[1] The central continent is what the name Terra usually points to, but it can also indicate the whole planet.[1]
