Bravo

**Bravo** (aka Arcadia East) is a small landmass (234 miles long, 164 miles wide) in the Arcadian Isles.

The people of this landmass call it "Arcadia", claiming to be the "true" island of Arcadia. The claim to call itself Arcadia comes from being allegedly the first land created by the gods in the world of Arcadia. This name is also claimed by the Arcadia West. The wiki will use the name "Bravo", as it is called by those elsewhere.

Before the Breaking of Arcadia (known locally as *"When the storms came and the mountains rose"*), the island was far more flat and hospitable (see the Ancient Bravo page for more details). Following the Breaking, a tsunami covered the land, and mountains magically rose up. Jungles and swamps developed. Old settlements were abandoned, and the survivors resettled.

Most people on the island don't use currency, except when trading with the dwarven holds (Empires of Arcadia). This seems to have changed by 1517 where dwarven coins have circulated and are in usage in all settlements as the primary currency (Rise of Drekis).
