Arcadia	comment	The gentle, quiet, idyllic life of the countryside, peopled by souls of wise simplicity living In Harmony with Nature. Arcadia's natural splendour is traditionally populated by shepherds and shepherdesses; more recent versions may also include small farms. Idealized often to the point of becoming a Utopia or Eden-like depiction. Generally portrayed as a place where people still stick to the Good Old Ways, rather than being trapped in the city's bustle. (Unkind souls may sneer at them for being old fashioned.) Though the city dwellers may scorn them for their lack of luxury, they are happier for not having to rely on material things for happiness. The good landscape may be responsible, posing in contrast to Evil Is Deathly Cold, the Shadowland, Grim Up North, urbanized Shadowlands such as the Decadent Court or Vice City, or the Shadowland equivalent found in the Green Aesop; the Polluted Wasteland. In older works (as late as the early nineteenth century), wilderness was not considered attractive scenery; a pleasant view was one of the cultivated countryside, usually with human figures in it, while forests and wildlands were seen as dangerous, savage places and havens of bandits and beasts, making this aspect something of an Evolving Trope. Arcadia is always the better place in The City vs. the Country. It is not, however, a region free from all evils; the expression Et in Arcadia ego (even in Arcadia I — i.e. Death — am) comments that The Grim Reaper also makes appearances here. Unless, that is, it represents Heaven itself, though this traditional way of depicting Heaven has been largely displaced by Fluffy Cloud Heaven in modern fiction. A 10-Minute Retirement often brings the character to Arcadia. A character — perhaps a City Mouse who's learned his lesson, or someone who lost his memory, or a Nature Lover who's finally escaped the Vice City — may settle down here for a peaceful life and a quiet romance. The pursuits of Arcadia are often portrayed as bringing life into the world and are more productive than the destructive pursuits of heroes and villains. Depending on how it is depicted, this can range from idyllic leisure to unending and hard work — but this work is never too complicated or stressful, but rather peaceful and fulfilling for a character who was Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life. The Country Mouse or the Farm Boy often comes from a (more or less idealized) Arcadia. It often features as Home Sweet Home for an adventurer. Many a Retired Badass and Old Master live here full time, having jumped at the Call to Agriculture. If the question of social relations comes up, it will always turn out to be a Close-Knit Community. The Nature Lover often appreciates it for the greenery. This will almost always be the destination a character dreams about in Big Town Boredom. A brief visit there is an Arcadian Interlude. The Noble Savage lives with even less of civilization's goods, but operates on the same principle, although he is usually of a different race than the city folks, unlike the Arcadians — in both cases, by whatever definition of race was current. Sweet Home Alabama is a Deep South Arcadia. Oireland is usually (though not always) an Arcadia. Villainous Badland, Heroic Arcadia is where good people live in places like here and the bad guys live in Mordor (more or less). Contrast Town with a Dark Secret. The Good Shepherd calls on Arcadian imagery. Often involves a society with No Poverty. Suffice it to say that in Real Life, things are much more complicated. Rural areas may have major advantages, but may also come with serious disadvantages. Some people can't stand life in sparsely populated areas, others can't imagine living anywhere else. In both cases, utopian societies generally don't exist in the real world, and presenting any place as such usually involves ignoring its flaws. Arkadia is a region in southern Greece, the hilly middle of the Peloponnese peninsula. During the Roman Empire, poets (including Virgil) cast it as the idyllic land of the pastoral. Although thus Older Than Feudalism, it is generally a trope used by city dwellers. Compare it to Wild Wilderness which it sometimes can overlap with also. Closely related to Ghibli Hills, but inhabited. (They may be next to each other in the same story.) Visual media often use it for Scenery Porn. When a science fiction (rather than realistic or fantasy) story is set in Arcadia with more green hills and a minimal or hidden presence of futuristic technology, that's Pastoral Science Fiction. Although the Land of Faerie is sometimes named Arcadia, it's rarely so idyllic or so safe, to say nothing of its inhabitants. Not to be confused with Tom Stoppard's play of the same name, or the Duran Duran Spin-Off band. Joan of Arcadia and Skies of Arcadia aren't exactly this either. Not to mention all the other things named after Arcadia on Wikipedia. Or arcades.

It is a calm, soothing place with only a few inhabitants who are innocent to a fault, a perfect place for its master to rest and gather his thoughts. The kicker?

Arcadia / int_413aa2f7	comment	Don Quixote: At the end of the book, Quixote considers leaving being a knight to become an Arcadian shepherd instead. Pastoral tropes in general are deconstructed and parodied in the novel: The real shepherds are Country Mice — ignorant people who have enough common sense and work as shepherds by need. They want to help and are sympathetic enough. The problem comes when a lot of City Mice try to invoke this trope: At the Sierra Morena, Don Quixote converses this trope with the goatherds in Chapter XXI, delivering an Author Filibuster, "Discourse on the Golden Age", comparing the goatherds with Noble Savages. None of them understand a word. One of the goatherds sings a song, but he didn't compose it (because he doesn't know how), it was his uncle who composed it, a cleric who has studied. In any Arcadia poem, one or various shepherds complains about the shepherdess that ignores him. Marcela and Grisostomo deconstruct this in chapters XII â€“ XIV, where the Shepherdess claims she is So Beautiful, It's a Curse and so she had to be a shepherdess only to get her freedom, but all the City Mice that court her decided to be shepherds too. And if that GrisÃ³stomo killed himself, it is unjust to blame her. Deconstructed again in chapter LII from the first part, Eugenio tells the story of the beautiful Leandra, who elopes with a soldier that left her. Leandra gets Locked Away in a Monastery while her various City Mice admirers decided to become shepherds and make poems about how Leandra betrayed them... even when she never gave them any hope. Eugenio tells that all those shepherds curse Leandra's indiscretion and they seem so unhappy that he lampshades that Arcadia is really a living hell. Eugenio then says he has decided to follow the easier way, claim All Women Are Lustful and become a Politically Incorrect Hero who hates all women. Parodied in chapter LVIII of the Second Part: Don Quixote meets some beautiful shepherdesses who are part of a crew of noble and rich people who invoke this trope by retiring to a forest to play at being shepherd and shepherdess. They are so sophisticated that they have studied two poems from Garcilaso de la Vega (In Spanish) and Camoes (in Portuguese). Don Quixote considers becoming a shepherd instead of a knight at the end of the second part; before he can invoke this trope, his housekeeper tries to dissuade him by lampshading the truth:

It's a nice place to live, definitely, but it's not utopian, and while the hobbits are generally friendly, generous, and bucolic, they are also unimaginative, clannish, parochial, and prone to gossip. Tom and Goldberry Bombadil live in a pretty, lonely country home at the edge of a beautiful forest. Although dangerous creatures dwell in the woods and the nearby hills, neither of them can harm Tom, his wife or their guests. The Fall of NÃºmenor: The island of Elenna, seat of the kingdom of NÃºmenor, was a beautiful star-shaped island, featuring peaceful rolling meadows, picturesque forests and impressive cliffs. There were some big cities in the island, but most of the population led peaceful rural lives in the countryside, in harmony with nature...before NÃºmenor became a colonial power, a period that began with the felling of large forests to build huge fleets of warships.

Arcadia / int_58713966	comment	In As You Like It, Rosalind, fleeing her uncle's corrupt court, seeks refuge in the Arcadian locale of the Forest of Arden. The play is arguably a parody of this trope as a reaction against all of the pastoral plays of Shakespeare's time. The "arguable" part stems from the fact that it still retains the spirit of this trope while mocking its conventions — the shepherds, for example, repeatedly complain about their supposedly idyllic jobs and are terrible at wooing their love interests.

Arcadia / int_640d9be1	comment	In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, there is a village named Arcadia where humans and dragons lived in peace (dragons had been extirpated from the rest of the continent a millennium prior). In Chapter 14 of The Binding Blade, it is rescued by Royâ€™s army from an occupying force of Bern troops, and with permission from the village elder, Roy borrows the divine anima magic tome Forblaze, which is housed in a temple underneath the village. In The Blazing Blade, which takes place 20 years earlier, the heroes meet Athos, the original wielder of Forblaze, who reveals his relation to the Big Bad, and tells them that Arcadiaâ€™s libraries were the place where he obtained his ability to drain and consume quintessence.

Arcadia / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: One of the Outer Planes in the Planescape AD&D setting, specifically the park-like "Lawful Good with emphasis on the lawful" plane, is called "Arcadia". (The complete name, according to Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, is "the Peaceable Kingdoms of Arcadia", but that's splitting hairs.) However, Dothion, one of the Twin Paradises of Bytopia, fits the trope just as well if not better. There are a couple in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting: The halfling homeland of Luiren. It's not completely free from danger (this is Dungeons & Dragons after all — why go somewhere if not to kill and loot stuff?), with a dangerous forest at its border and the occasional monster, but all in all, it's one of the safest places in the Realms. The Dalelands in central Faerun are a collection of quietly dignified, courageous and mostly good-natured foresters and farmers who strive to live in harmony with nature and each other. The governments of most Dales are very decentralized, almost anarchistic in some places. Like Luiren, it has its dangers, mostly from its more malevolent neighbors and the occasional monsters in the woods. A couple of the Dales, like Archendale and Scardale, are also more aggressive and violent, but aside from Luiren it's most of the most idealistic and idyllic places in Faerun.

Of course, they are set up at Arcadia National Park, Maine. Zion National Park counts as one. It's a mythical, hard-to-reach place, there is virtually no ecological damage from the Great War, the water is free of radiation, plants thrive in abundance, and it is inhabited by the innocent and peaceful tribe known as the Sorrows.

Flashbacks show that the Age of Legends was more or less a giant one of these, thanks to advanced and persistent Magitek.

This is only when things are going well, though. Everything from parasprites to Discord to Cerberus (Yes, that one) seems to make a beeline for Ponyville whenever they show up in the show, so Ponyville is far from peaceful and idyllic. Equestria as a whole very much this. The occasional monster rampage aside, itâ€™s a peaceful, pastoral nation dotted with pleasant towns in a landscape of farmland and lush nature where candy-colored ponies live in harmony with every sort of magical creature, friendship rules supreme, and the weather is managed on demand by Pegasus weather teams and the night and day cycle by the alicorn princesses for the benefit of all.

It's the only town where the primary party does not engage in combat, the townspeople are mostly friendly, and is the site of two of the relatively few peacefully resolved sidequests. Ironically, Winhill is still less of an Arcadia than it used to be (even after the giant bugs were exterminated). Compared to Laguna's flashback, the atmosphere is melancholic and downbeat — the colours are less vivid and there are fewer signs of life. Which makes sense since the town was repeatedly raided for child prisoners by Esthar and children orphaned by the war were placed into an orphanage on another continent, making Winhill a declining Arcadia.

The commune "Fyra systrar" is located in the countryside too and gives several women (including members of the Andersson family, like Judith and Maria and Nina and Louise) a place to live in the 1970s. Of course, some members of the Andersson family have other interests and prefer to live in the nearby town of VÃ¤xjÃ¶. Anna, Cecilia and Ã…sa even spend most of their lives abroad.
