DISCLAIMER: I don't own Skies of Arcadia, character's location's yadda yadda yadda. However i do own certain character's, ships and location's which will reveal themselves as the story progresses.
Before I begin,I have a few things to say.
First off, this is like a prequel to my upcoming fic, Legends of Arcadian Skies. This fic (Which I'll start posting in June) Is basically the Skies of Arcadia Game, with a few new character's new twists and turns, but still trying to keep to the original plotline. In Tales of the Valuan Nasr War, althoughI plan to try and write a few on other characters, most of thesestories will revolve around three characters, two I own, oneI don't, who are as follows.
Belleza Rodriguez (Who I don't own, cept her last name)
Carlos Meridian (Who I own.)
and Daniel Mackenzie (As in the guy from One Silvite, One Officer, One Love, Both of which I own)
On another note, I need to say something breifly on LoAS's version of an Arcadian year. But if you'd rather read the story then just scroll down to the line.
The Arcadian year is split up into for different segments:
The Spring Lunar Cycle
The Summer Lunar Cycle
The Autumn Lunar Cycle
and The Winter Lunar Cycle.
These in turn are segmented into three parts of their own, so the year is essentially split into twelve parts, with each of these parts
split into 30 days, with the year beginning on the 1st day of the Second Winter Cycle (see where this is going?).
So for example, when the guy on Sailor's Island says that it will take a full Lunar Cycle to get a Valuan passport, in my story
he'd mean it's going to take 90 days for it to be done, and Christmas would be on the 25th day of the 1st Winter Cycle, however if someone is talking about 30 days to to get to Ixa'taka, he'd just say it would take a Lunar Month. Okay? Confused? If so sorry, but I'll try to explain it better if people don't understand.
Second from last, the Civilisations.
Although the New World refers to the Civilisations f the Old World by the colour of the moon they were under (The Silver Civilisation, etc.) In LoAS, Fina will refer to them as the Houses of Arcadia.
There are seven houses, which are as follows:
The House of Redian - Red Civilisation
The House of Greashan - Green Civilisation
The House of Butopian - Blue Civilisation
The House of Purtortis - Purple Civilisation
The House of Yelotis - Yellow Civilisation
The House of Silvairian - Silver Civilisation
The House of Blakoshan - Black Civilisation
Each house as a certain tattoo like thing on thier foreheads and shoulders. I've created a chart, and will try and stick it on my profile ASAP
Finally, I would like to say that if anyone has a suggestion for one of these talesI would greatly appreciate any ideas you have. thanks.
Well, that's all I got to say, read and review please but don't flame, cos I'll just ignore you.
Thanks

INTRODUCTION
The Valuan-Nasr War.
One of the greatest wars Arcadia has ever seen. A war spanning fourteen years of bloodshed between the two great nations of the known world.
No one knows why the Valuan Empire and the Nasr Kingdom waged war on each other. Some say the Valuans were looking to expand their empire, others say the Nasreans were on a peaceful delegation and the Empire took the ships for hostiles and shot them down. Some say that it involves the Aquila, the Flagship of the 1st fleet, and the mystery that surrounds it and the death of its command staff.
Almost all however, agree that the War officially began at the Battle of the Grand Line. A battle that took place near the stone reef that separates Nasr from the rest of the world. Although small and almost insignificant, this battle begins our tales. In this book, we shall reveal the stories behind the war, from Construction of the Grand Fortress, to the Battle for Esperanza. From the dingy streets of Lower City, to the Bridge of the Lynx during the final battle, but every story has a beginning, and ours begins on the Streets of Lower City, twenty years before the Crystalline War, at the house of a certain Valuan Navigator and his family…
