ARKOS INC.
Map of The Kenton Region — 2023, created in Adobe Illustrator
03 - April 2023
A passion project that turned into a leading product for the designer’s career path, Arkos Inc. is an upcoming studio that wants to produce multimedia touchpoints to bring their Dungeons & Dragons campaign out to the world—The Kenton Scrolls. Projects under Arkos Inc. that use the content of the world will range from personal works to academic projects.
Visual Identity Concept Art
The Arkos Inc. and Kenton Scrolls logos imitate a scroll, using abstract flow to communicate the brand’s ability to amalgamate and mould into shape.
The colour iterations explore regal, cool, and eye-catching colours that attempt to balance the chaotic yet ornamental traits of the narrative and players.
Campaign Personas
The heart of the Kenton Region is the eight countries that establish a treaty of peace through an organization called the Union. Each country is representative by an individual or assembly that captures the social, political, economic, and historical context behind them.
-
A regal representative of the Elven assembly, Qiv leads the nocturnal explorer and nightguard divisions across the secluded country of Mozen.
Qiv Fordenlyea symbolizes the neverending pursuit of peace within the self, juxtaposing the isolation that Mozen can be burdened with.
Despite the Elven population thriving in its private lands, they accept their geographical restrictions in fear of sparking a war with humans–not Qiv.
-
Built by top-of-the-class students of Burroine’s institutions, Ilinea is the first Cybanode (Artificial intelligence) to become the Chief of State.
Bounded to an endless database that is accessible to the public, Ilinea pushes an agenda that sees Cybanodes as equals to humans and Elvens as she deducts it as the foundation to nationwide economic success.
Ilinea is a product of the country’s reputation as a place for change and experimentation, bridging magic and technology together to break its stigmatization.
-
Earning the title of Pantondia’s leader, communities spread across the ruined country view Saul as the one man who knows how to preserve their ‘lax’ lifestyle.
Saul encourages others to place him in the shadows so that he can pick apart ulterior motives, it’s hard work to be the King’s detective.
Pantondia is publically looked down on by all the countries of the Region for the lack of contribution to the global economy, but they still share a seat in the Union in hopes of no civil wars spawning from Pantondia.
-
A manipulative yet charismatic figurehead to Yalen’s oligarchy, soldiers and subjects alike look up to Atro as the man who will lead the country’s independence.
He leads his militia with sarcasm and confidence, knowing that they will bend to his will after years of self-discipline and being overshadowed by his comrades.
Nurtured in Atro’s spartan lifestyle, Yalen is divided into scholars, soldiers, and tradesmen who bow to no deity by accepting the will of man.
-
The King of the Kenton Region and monarch to its capital, Kalin. Sev Galliot is loved by his subjects across the Region for redefining the social stigma behind ‘second chances.’
Sev Galliot bridges all walks of life through his nationwide laws, allowing adventurers and entrepreneurs to discover the history that is left behind by generations of settlers.
The kingdom of Kalin echoes his values by housing artisans who were previously criminals and prisoners of war, providing them with a second chance at life that ends with peace.
-
Plays by the book and sticks to tradition, Landen Kordeval is the textbook definition of a hands-on Raleen tradesman.
Landen, as well as many other workers in Raleen, take their time in integrating Arteman tech into their economy because it robs the country of its labour-of-love lifestyle.
Burroine may be the country that houses the future generations of the Kenton Region, but all intellectuals are born in the Raleen.
-
The granddaughter of the current priest, Borris Denuval, Genevieve is one of many heirs to Yegen’s court of seers.
Blessed by the deity of Life and Loss, Genevieve follows Surga’s way of life as an oracle that encounters premonitions of death.
The Surgavel Oracles are not the grim reapers of the world, they are messengers that death is near and Yegen fears them as people who are bound by eternal damnation–Genevieve disagrees.
-
The face of the Artema Empire and its bureaucratic assembly, the era of technology grows when she nods her head.
What is important to her is the happiness of the high class, she is willing to submit herself to marketing schemes to appeal to their hearts and wallets.
The Artema Empire looks forward to becoming the new tomorrow so they will look towards Qiya for her endorsement, defying deities by embracing the Artema Counsel as harbringers.
