Edward Radcliffe (1401-1470), also known as Edward the Founder and the Discoverer, was the first person to settle (although not to discover) the continent of Atlantis. He also christened it, after being astonished by its otherworldly qualities. In 1470, everything changed for New Hastings when Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick arrived. Warwick had been a supporter of the House of York, but he had angered King Edward IV, who ordered Warwick into exile. Warwick had originally sought to land in Freetown, but decided he would make do in New Hastings.
