Brahms is an eastern seaboard city located on Illuminatia's Galant Peninsula. Brahms is situated on the northeastern coast of the peninsula on waters which alternately are said to belong to either the Greater Amadeus Bay of its more-interior cohort, Wolfgang Amadeus Bay, depending upon where the irrelevant boundaries are drawn. The economy, culture, and climate of Brahms is influenced by its seaside inlet location with sweeping southerly views of the nearby Lucidian Range.
Dominant economic forces in Brahms include the communication and media industries. The geographic location of Brahms flanked by significant metropolitan regions allowed the early settlers here to establish a preeminent position as an influential source of literature and other media in eastern Illuminatia. The Brahmsian ring of influence extended past nearby megalopolitan complexes through the eastern reaches of the continent as communications technology and media distribution improved. Contributing to the Brahms literary allure is Angeez List, a publisher of poetry based in the city's uptown core. The University of Exorbitant Intelligence, the area's premier institution of tertiary education, is locate in Brahms.
