The New World lies across The Great Ocean, beyond the isles of the Elf Kingdoms. It is inhabited by primative Humans - hunter-gatherers - and a whole host of strange animals and monsters.
The northern areas, Naggeroth, were originally settled by the Dark Elves following their defeat in the Elven Civil War some 5,000 years ago (in the year 3250, according to High Elf reckoning). Since then, a few small areas along the east coast have acquired Sea Elf colonies.
To the south lies Lustria, the jungle habitat of the Slann and their armies of Lizardmen.
