The New Coast is the first Old Worlder settlement in the Southlands, comprising a number of thriving towns and farms - but already there are notable cultural differences between the colonists and the inhabitants of their home continent, not least because they have had to adapt to a whole range of strange climatics and geographical features. The New Coast is bordered by jungle to the north and grasslands to the south. The majority of the newcomers are Old Worlders, Norse, and Dwarfs and the latter have proved particularly adept at rooting out some of the sources of untold mineral wealth that the surrounding mountains undoubtedly contain.
