Location: (139, 107 Dynmap)

New Eden City was the first city founded on the planet of New Eden and remains its defacto administrative, commercial, and cultural center. In these roles, it is the de-facto capital city of New Eden and the Web Worlds. It is located around the origin at 0,0 and is the largest city on the planet. New Eden City also contains the world spawn for new Colonists. The city was founded by the First Survivor in Y0S0 NESC.

Landmarks

Biker Bar

Location: (-83, 176 Dynmap)

Constructed in Y3S1 by mrunix the Biker Bar provides a chill, straightforward place for the blue-collar workers of New Eden City to relax. Located across the street from the Murderarium, it also has proven to be a popular watering hole for local gladiators looking to unwind and swap stories after a grueling match.

Bunhause

Location: (-118, 277 Dynmap)

Constructed by CaptainOHair as a gift to everyone who loves fun, the bunhause offers a unique experience. Within its colorful walls dwell a large quantity of rabbits, who will flee in a huge wave from visitors, their terror drawing delight and giggles as they are chased around the enclosure.

Monument to Mining

Location: (-92, 50 Dynmap)

Constructed in Y0, the Monument to Mining is simply that, a monument symbolizing the tremendous work ethic and production of the mining community. It is located on the road that once lead to the portal of the Luckycat Mine, but the view has since been obstructed by expansion of the train station.

Pawn Shop

Location: (-60, 183 Dynmap)

Constructed in Y3S1 by mrunix, the pawn shop and payday savings and loan offers dubious products and predatory interest rates to any survivor foolish - or simply unlucky - enough to require those sorts of services.

Poison Shoppe

Location: (-95, 112 Dynmap)

Tucked away in the woods on the wrong side of the tracks, the Poison Shoppe deals in all manner of unregulated and dangerous potions with typically harmful and unpleasant effects.

Potion Shop

Location: (234, 120 Dynmap)

Unsurprisingly, the Potion Shop sells a number of curative, protective, and restorative potions. The shop is easy to find due to the large lit potion sign mounted on the roof, which has become something of a local landmark around the city. It is also famous for mrunix's inability to remember where it is. For customers who are interested in a more... harmful product, they should visit the Poison Shoppe instead.

Deckard Building

Location: (140, 138 Dynmap)

The Deckard building is a six-story commercial building built in a contemporary style. It is currently unoccupied and looking for a tenant.

Rival Brewpub

Location: (207, 189 Dynmap)

Originally constructed as a nameless brewing facility by Y0S3 by xtonx723 for use as a brewery to supply beer and spirits to the people of New Eden. However, construction dragged on for an extended period of time, prompting LEIGH&CO to construct the Rival Brewery across the street (hence the name). Upon seeing this a fit of emotion overcame xtonx723 and set the brewery alight. City fire crews rushed to the scene but were unable to save the structure which was substantially damaged. Upon hearing of this arson, LEIGH&CO seized the lot and salvaged the wreck of the building. It was expanded upon and became the Rival Brewpub, and since that time has faithfully been serving New Eden inhabitants with spirits, beer, and hot chocolate. History buffs will note that the original brewing barrels as constructed by xtonx723 can be seen in the rear of the structure with a commemorative plaque.

Rival Brewing

Location: (207, 189 Dynmap)

"Spirited beverages for spirited individuals"

Located across the street from the Rival Brewpub, the brewery is the commercial facility which produces Rival products, including spirits, beer, and hot chocolate. The brewery was constructed in Y0S3 after xtonx723 failed to construct a brewery in reasonable time. The brewery facility actually consists of two structures; the distillery as well as an aging warehouse containing racks of barrels for producing beer and other aged spirits such as whisky. The brewery is famed for containing barrels made out of every conceivable wooden material, which allow the brewery to produce products with unique flavor profiles and restorative properties.

The brewery is normally closed to the public, however it does contain a public recycling station that allows Survivors to dispose of excess glass bottles who in turn receive a deposit fee in return.

Teahouse

New Eden City Teahouse

Location: (269, 432 Dynmap)

Construction on the teahouse started in Y0S3 NESC. As such, it is one of the oldest Survivor-built structures on New Eden. The teahouse was primarily constructed by the_wee. The teahouse grounds encompass a relatively large area, 0.8192 hectares, and include manicured trees and gardens, as well as two lakes.

The teahouse itself is primarily constructed of red wool and spruce, as was typical of buildings from that period. The main teahouse is divided by glass partitions into three rooms and contains a shrine devoted to New Eden City families who were prominent at the time of construction. To the back of the teahouse are a rock garden and two gazebos suited to meditation or private ceremony. To the front of the building is a large reflecting pond with a small island holding a japanese cherry blossom tree which is in perpetual bloom.

Although once a serene and isolated location, and rife with dangerous monsters, the growth of the city has enveloped the teahouse, and today unfortunately the skyline is intruded upon by the Rival Brewing tower, the Ag Tower, and the Logistics Terminal, among others.

The teahouse is served by a stop on the Green Line.


Other Landmarks

The Great Tessellation

In Y2S2, the Land Office converted to a new standard grid reference for lots. As a result of this process, unowned, open areas of New Eden City were converted to the new system. For areas that were previously owned, lots were adjusted to conform to the new standard system as much as possible, with deference given to existing lots, builds, and the overall layout of the city. This became known as the Great Tessellation.
