This article is a work in progress. Sources needed.
Arcane is a guild founded by Agentred100 and BridgeDweller, and currently led by Nephalem (previously redkiller123). It was originally a PvP guild, but has broadened its interests to include building as well. It has consistently remained in the top six guilds; with 914 realms, it is currently ranked fourth, below VVolfpack and Aequitas and just above Vortex.

History
Arcane was first announced on April 11, 2012. Arcane began as a dedicated PvP faction, at a time when guilds frequently partook in ferocious nether battles. Its original members were Agentred100, BridgeDweller, MrSark980, Jugglingman456, and Nephalem[1]. On April 25, 2012, the Arcane Tournament was announced[2]. On May 17, 2012, construction for the Arcane Orb began. The final battle of the Arcane Tournament took place beneath the orb. Boomer2011 won the tournament and the 100k-credit prize. Almost as if by initiation, Boomer2011 was then immediately invited to join the guild.
Notable Properties
Like most major guilds, Arcane has a number of notable builds, cities, and plots that are particularly well-known, much-used, or representative of the guild.
The Arcane Orb
The Arcane Orb is the largest megabuild of Arcane and the centerpiece to the Arcane base. It is located at [x,z]. Construction began on May 17, 2012, led by redkiller123. Since its initial completion, features have been continuously added to keep it interesting and alive. It holds 17 floating glowstone and obsidian orbs (or spheres). Eight orbs are supported by by eight large stone cylinders starting from the foundation. Eight, slightly smaller orbs are held half-way up, accompanied by eight claws. What is often referred to as the orb is the largest orb supported at the top by an inverted cone spiral. The orb is surrounded by a planar glowstone and obsidian detail and eight smaller claws. Much of the megabuild consists of stone brick. There are portions of obsidian, glowstone, orange wool, glass, lava, and stone slab. The Arcane Orb is featured in the "This is what Minecraft is about" video seen on the MineRealm homepage[3].
The Arcane Wall
The Arcane Wall is two massive walls surrounding the Arcane base. It is made primarily of stone, stone slab, and stone brick with other detailed elements. It is located at [x,z].
The first of the walls is square-shaped, covering a 250x250-block area, topped by rook-like structures, and decorated by hanging flags displaying Arcane's colors. It has four gates, one at each side. Each is decorated by the face of an early member of Arcane.
The second of the walls is circle-shaped with an approximate diameter of 650 blocks, centered on the Arcane Orb and surrounding the first wall and all of Arcane.
Arcane Industry
Arcane Industry is the guild's collection of massive farms, located at [x,z]. It produces excess sugarcane, pumpkins, and, previously, iron. Much of the sugarcane and pumpkin is put toward farming emeralds by the guild. The rest is sold.
