Newhaven has elected to be a County of the [[Carzala|Duchy of Carzala]].

== Introduction ==
[[Image:Newhaven195.png|right]] 

Newhaven is the name of a now County (was a Barony) approximately 130 miles South West of City of [[Seagate]]. Newhaven is in the area of [[Chub's Bay]], [[Dolphin Bay]], [[Haven|Haven Bay]], and [[Landfall]]. Newhaven was settled in 1993AP / 797WK 

Newhaven decided to become a Vassal of the Duchy of [[Carzala]]. Its Arms are recognised by [[College of Heralds]] independent of [[Carzala]]. A group from the Seagate Adventurers Guild, calling themselves the Founders of Newhaven, founded Newhaven. 

The County has grown at a faster than normal rate, due mainly to their input and interest in the local affairs and adventure money, and refugees first from the [[Western Kingdom]] war, and then from [[Novadom]]. The natural vegetation is a mixture of woodland and forest with tracts of cropland and pasture. 

Newhaven controls a large, deep-water harbour, one of the few safe ports of call on the journey south from [[Seagate]] to [[Novadom]] to the [[Five Sisters]] or [[Tycho City]]. Newhaven also trades with [[Brandenburg]] and [[Eltrandor]]. The harbour is well protected from bad weather and always seems to be calm except for a sailing breeze. It is only the extensive import restrictions that deter merchant ships from trading with Newhaven. They instead call at [[Seagate|City of Seagate port]]. Since the settlement of the valley, extensive earth works and logging has been conducted. Timber is in plentiful supply. The mining in the south of the region has also swelled the treasury only to be depleted by refugees. It is rumoured that gold has been found in the highlands, on one of the tributary streams to the Laffayette river, but there has been no reliable confirmation of this. 

Newhaven relations with [[Seagate]] and [[Novadom]] are peaceful. Newhaven currently respects Seagate's wishes to remain the predominant trading port in the area. Seagate in return, is happy with Newhaven discouraging sea trade, and protecting the surrounding coastline and deep-water harbour from falling under the influence of pirates. Newhaven from time to time is protected by the [[Castle Defense System]]. As of 807WK it was turned off. 

Newhaven relations with [[Novadom]] took a turn for the better with the [[Dark Circle]] forcing refugees to settle in New Haven. A lot of local people in Newhaven once came from Novadom City.

Newhaven has over the last ten years settled the areas of [[Eastrock]], [[Haven]] and [[Landfall]], as the population grew with refugees ariving from the [[Novadom]] area. The area has had 'Blessing on Crops' cast on it.

== County of Newhaven Settlements ==
===[[Newhaven City]]===
[[Newhaven City]] and [[Redwood village]], [[Newhaven Castle]] all make up part of Newhaven. Newhaven continues to be the larger part of the settlement with the other areas of [[Eastrock]], [[Haven]] and [[Landfall]] all part of the County.

== Points of interest within Newhaven==

===[[Sea Goddess Haven]] and [[Star of Naggaroth]]===
As of early autumn 806 the Sea Goddess Haven has been taken by a group of adventures acting under a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_marque Letter of marque] from [[Duke Leto]] of [[Seagate]] and from [[Alfheim]] regarding the Sea Goddess Haven. It is understood that the Sea Goddess is currently being refitted by Elves in Newhaven, as a battleship, before continuing its work in the fight against the Drow. Also see sister ship in [[Novadom]] the [[Star of Naggaroth]]. 
'''Note: GM William Dymock.'''

=== Newhaven Elven Portal ===
A large inactive portal gate has been created from the cliff at Newhaven. Nearby is a 'mana collector' device that continues to draws in mana from the surroundings. The mana from any spells being cast near here are 'sucked' into the device. This has been thought to have been happening for around 2,000 years with unknown consequences.

For more information please see [[Elven Portals]].

=== Landfall and Garsen's Tower ===
A tower on the point near Landfall acquired by the Barrony approx 796wk.
Refer [[Landfall#Garsen's Tower|Landfall]] for details.

They are of Dwarven origin, and have not been inhabited for at least 25 years.
The caves are relatively small with a few rooms and some storage areas.
