New Carthica

Overview
New Carthica is a communiy east of Nifelheim and is primarily out of sight even on the current (12/2) cartograph. It is a tidy, peaceful little village located in a valley, and filled to the brim with largely tasteful buildings. While it is named after his last community in Devachan, New Carthica bears no resemblance to the Carthica it is named after and is more openly designed for aesthetic purposes.

Socio-Economic structure
New Carthica is populated by moderately wealthy players, with the buildings largely comprised of upscale housing, with emphasis on aesthetics. Being out-of-the-way as it is, it has remained mostly safe from grief; although disputes over aesthetics are not unheard of.

Layout
New Carthica is divided into 3 districts, which are named to describe there position in the town. These are named Cliffside, Valley Floor and the Underdistrict


 * Cliffside was the first district made after Alovard made a large foothold within the cliff that he chose to build in. While for a time the plan was only to stay in the cliff as long as possible, Alovard realized people probably didn't want to only live in the cliff despite the safety it allowed from mobs. The majority of Cliffside are dwellings but also a spot for the New Carthica General Store and Sirobar's Shop, which are both works in progress. Cliffside also has access to the New Carthica Rail Station which is connected to the main Nirvana Rail System which interconnects all major communities or projects across Nirvana


 * Valley Floor was added when Alovard wanted to attract more citizens who requested more building space both upwards and downwards. It also was here that the first custom plots were built by Lulzwhat and RickMoranis. After December 6th, Alovard decided he would charge for certain plots. Custom plots cost an 1 iron block, but allowed the owner to build mostly unhindered by Alovard's personal size restraints but could only be built on Valley Floor or around it. Size-requested plots cost 1 iron bar per each 4x4 section and the owner could have it built anywhere. On the Valley Floor there are a few items of interest, such as teh New Carthica Community Druidic Tower, the Lookout Tower, Silvertie's Assassins Guild, the New Carthica Greenhouse, Narrified's Cafe, Jewbat's Shop and the Community Fishing Pier over Lake Carthica.


 * The Underdistrict was added after Alovard messed up cleaing a pile of gravel and falling into a large cave system underneath Valley Floor. After carefully finding his way up near the greenhouse, Alovard expanded the area out to what we have at this moment. While there are five plots down there of varying sizes, it is still unoccupied at this time but recently had the New Carthica Underground Community Storage and is awaiting material to fill it.

Alovard the First
New Carthica is run and maintained by Alovard, designer and operator of Devachan's Nordland and Carthica, and former operator of Aquarius Bay (before sale to Seymour Butts on 12-8-2010.)
