Population[edit]
- Although the Imperial Province doesn't have its own native race in Arena, the Imperial City's inhabitants use Redguard sprites and monster names.
- Explanation: Typically in Arena, each city's citizens are the native race of that province, but in the case of the Imperial City and the Imperial Province, a native race wasn't ever set up in the game data by the developers. The way the game generates the pigment-hue set and names for citizens is by selecting from a data set of eight hues and eight name generators, which were set up for citizens in the other eight provinces. The Imperial Province was set up as the game's ninth province, but a unique hue set and name generator terms were never created for a ninth province in the game data, so in place of a ninth hue set for the "ninth race," the game defaults to whatever data it can fetch first, which was the Redguard racial hue. However, the game did possess data for a ninth name generator, which was actually intended for the game's Monsters, so when the game goes to fetch the ninth name generator in the data, the villagers in the Imperial City are assigned Monster names.
- Names for Imperials in Arena consist of a prefix followed by an optional middle part followed by a suffix.
- The Imperial names are actually names of minor monsters. As such, they are unisex and they have no surnames.
- The 23 prefixes for Imperial names are: An, Az, Dag, Dru, Grip, Grol, Grum, Hel, Hez, Mor, Nor, Ratt, Sash, Sek, Sko, Skul, Tricer, Trog, Ve, Verm, Voj, Yag, Ye
- The 15 optional middle parts for Imperial names are: a, an, ar, e, er, ga, i, ir, lo, o, ot, no, ra, ri, u
- The 26 suffixes for Imperial names are: bith, both, don, doth, dred, ghu, god, gon, goth, hoth, ker, las, lath, loth, phang, rath, rock, rog, rugoth, ten, thor, thoth, thrac, tor, us, vor

- * There are 9,545 possible names, which is too many to list. (23 names can be generated in two different ways, such as Anothoth.)
Notes[edit]
- There are no random quests in the Imperial City.
- You cannot re-enter the Imperial Palace after completing the main quest, as it will be closed for repairs.
