'''Ariel''', officially the ''Traction City of Ariel'', is a nomadic city-state that has existed since around 2186 ASC (2005). It is the only known traction city on [[Micras]]. The city is mounted on a mobile crawler platform, similar in design to the tracked wheels of a bulldozer. Originally one of the founding states of the [[Confederacy of Independent States]], the Arielis were forced by incessant wars to constantly move their entire people across [[Benacia]]. This led to the Arielis first establishing a nomadic convoy of mechanized vehicles, and then transitioning to a traction city over the next several centuries. By 3282 ASC (Aug 2008) the CIS on Benacia collapsed and the remaining Arielis began a slow migration across the continent, placing their entire civilization on the single traction city. The city's last known whereabouts were in [[Tellia]], though it has since migrated elsewhere, and its present location remains unknown.
