The World Heritage Sites & Treasures List is a list, maintained by the Ariddian Secretariat for Culture in Rêvane, of sites, objects and "intangible treasures" from around the world. It is intended as a replacement of sorts for the United Nations' defunct World Heritage List, although both its content and methodology differ from the UN's.

The list's purpose is to act as a reference to the world's (or multiverse's) shared and diverse cultural and historical heritage.


Types of entries

There are three types of entries which may be added to the list:

  • sites, which include parks, buildings and any geographical location. Entries must have significant cultural or historic value.
  • concrete treasures, which are tangible and moveable objects of significant cultural or historic value. Such entries may include relics and artwork.
  • intangible treasures, including songs, languages and deeply valued cultural ceremonies.

Submitting entries

Under the rules set out by the Ariddian Secretariat for Culture, nations submit entries voluntarily, and may only submit sites located on territory under their sovereign control. The Ariddian authorities will accept all entries, except for sites located on disputed territory, and "ridiculous" entries. Ariddian Secretary for Culture Serge Rivage also specified that a nation submitting a site or "treasure" must thereby commit itself to "protect and preserve" that site or treasure.
