Place name

The Book of Vulcan tells us that the God, Vulcan, called the grasslands Arcadia. Arcadia was, in times gone by, the domain of Pan, the God of the wild and nature.

Geography and features

Arcadia is the Garden of the Gods of Olympus - but it stands neglected, weed choked and overgrown. The west of Arcadia is dominated by the Deep Forest, which runs from coastal areas in the north to the walls of Vulcan City in the east. The River of Arcadia meanders through a valley just north of the Summer Palace and winds north to meet the sea. To the east of the river in the uplands is the ancient Druid's Shrine and beyond, near Arcadia's east coast, are the Verdant Farmlands.

Watercourses

A river surfaces at the Druid's Shrine and flows south from the raised ground here, where it passes the Wineries of the Nectar of the Gods before turning east and passing south of the Woodlands of Ambrosia. In the south east of Arcadia, closest to Vulcan City, are the Dales of Leaf and Stream.
