Arctica, or Septemtrio, as the local Septemtrians call it, is the continent at the highest latitude of Patria. It contains the geographic north pole, and is the coldest most inhospitable place for those who don't know how to survive.
Located on the north pole itself is the Spirit Portal, the sole physical gateway between the physical world and the Spirit World.
The main local race of the continent is the Septemtrian race, who are evolved and adapted to live in this inhospitable climate.
There are four Septemtrian nations on Arctica, each consisting of many clans that were once warring amongst each other for control of Spirit Portal at the north pole; eventually uniting into the four nations known today.
Eventually, once southern foreigners discovered the continent and began trying to settle, not that they were really suited for the climate, they came to an agreement to respect each other's sovereignty, keep the Portal lands neutral, and work in coalition in order to keep the portal out of the wrong hands.

The Spirit Portal
The Spirit Portal is the sole gateway between the physical world and the Spirit World. The portal and the surrounding area has been set aside as neutral territory by all four nations of Arctica
The Portal was first formed by the Dark Lord Voldrazar in an attempt to conquer the Spirit World once he had solidified his grip on the physical world. However, his defeat at the hands of the Lunaculi prevented that from coming to pass.
Once Voldrazar was defeated, the original seven Lunaculi closed the portal in a sphere of energy to prevent anything from crossing in to or out of the Spirit World, and only the combined power of all seven Lunaculi can open it again.

Notes & Trivia
- The demonym for people from Arctica is "Arctican," while the term "Septemtrian" is used both for the native race, and for the natives to describe anything from the land they call home, since they call the continent "Septemtrio."
- Arctica is the only continent of Patria where a Lunaculus is not reborn.
- The Spirit Portal was inspired by the Spirit Portals of the Avatar Universe.
