Name
The name ‘Acania’ is derived from the Latin word ‘arcānus’, meaning ‘hidden’ or ‘secret’. This is because of Acania’s rich history of both magic and magic education, which was done in secret due to it being outlawed. When the country changed from Aukranian rule to Acaniic, those who were magically gifted rose over oppression and freed those in the magic arts. Magic was then legalised.

When the country was formed in the year 1611 CE, and was part of Kauria. The Aukranian people were the only ones to live in the land of Acania at the time. Some Aukranian people were gifted people with the ability to be both magical and magical-minded. In their time, there were no limits to what they could do, so long as they kept it secret from the ruling Aukranian government. The most notable of these gifted people were the talented magicians, Ptolemy and his daughter Atelia, whose descendants would later overthrow the Aukranus government and create the country that is today known as Acania.
