Arcadia Unleashed takes place six years after the events of The Last Arcadia.

Over the six year timeskip, the world has suffered immensely. Like Salem had warned in Season 1, Earth would eventually die and those stuck on Earth are starting to see just that. Each passing year the temperature drops further, making daily life extremely tough on survivors. Snow falls and blizzards rage forcing snow piles and ice formations to grow larger every day, making the land more hostile and unforgiving. The primary areas that Arcadia Unleashed takes place in are known as The Golden City and The Wilds. The Wilds are the wilderness that is outside of the city. The Wilds consist of trees, (ice) caves and other naturally formed areas for living. The odd deteriorating building can be found in The Wilds but no other forms of human infrastructures lasted through The Scorch. Those that inhabit The Golden City live in Alliances (four of them). Inside The Golden City life comes easier, the structures provide shelter from the harsh outside world. Those that live in The Wilds and the sewers of The Golden City are often referred to as Hostiles by Alliance members. They live free of Alliance culture and rules (and tend to be quite hostile), but pay the price for living in harsh lands rather than the safety of the city. Those that live in the sewers are often referred to as Sewer Rats, who tend to be the most hostile of outsiders. 

Five years into the timeskip the Death Moon rose (the eclipse). All sense of day and night has lost since, the world is always half-lit. Earth has become almost inhabitable. With the sun no longer rising to provide warmth, survivors fear they don't have long before Earth is too cold to support life...
