 * The New World**

[]

**Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a different world? So did those who came before you. Journey millions of miles away and visit the New World, founded by those seeking a simpler life nearly a quarter of a century ago. Leave the bonds of this planet and travel to relatively undisturbed nature, one in which attempts have been made to make “a new way of life, one clean and simple and honest and good.” Experience trees, swamps, rivers, and oceans on your journey. Witness the native Spackle working together (please do not try to enslave them) and do not let “the noise” disturb your time away from home!** __**Itinerary:**__ **In an entirely new world, it may feel overwhelming, not knowing exactly where to start. Why not begin in Prentisstown, once what was perceived as the only settlement in the New World. This village was formerly populated by only men after Mayor Prentiss, absolute dictator of Prentisstown, became unstable after a lengthy war against the Spackle and exterminated all of the women.** **From Prentisstown, you will travel through the Wild, walking in the swamps where young Todd Hewitt and his faithful dog has their first run-in with the opposite sex in a girl named Viola Eade. See the ruins of Viola’s spacecraft, crashed into the forested swampland resulting in the death of both of the young girl’s parents. Travel to the magnificent waterfall that overlooks the next stop on your journey, New Prentisstown (formerly Haven).**


 * Mayor Prentiss, no longer satisfied with ruling his own small village of Prentisstown, began a journey to take over the New World. At the time, Haven was the largest community in the New World, thus the leading developer in both technology and research. Because of this technology, leaders in Haven had developed a cure for the Noise. However, Mayor Prentiss was able to lead his army into Haven, forcing the opposing individuals into submission and thus renaming the city New Prentisstown. **


 * After the founding of New Prentisstown, Mayor Prentiss declares himself President of the New World and once again separated the men and the women. Spackle were captured and used as slave labor and atrocities far too gruesome to mention were committed against them. There are numerous historical sites to visit in New Prentisstown including the destroyed water tower, the destroyed town hall, the destroyed prison, as well as the destroyed dam. **


 * Upon becoming president, David Prentiss quickly began to plot a new war with the Spackle. Around New Prentisstown, you will visit multiple sites of battle between the humans and spackle, as well as areas where conflict occurred between the Ask and the Answer. You will see where an epic battle took place between Todd Hewitt and President Prentiss, in which Todd shows that he has the power to silence his noise. Finally, travel to the ocean where Spackle 1017 (aka The Return and The Sky) failed to assassinate President Prentiss, instead mortally wounding Todd Hewitt. **

For a glimpse of a world ancient in comparison and completely different from this one, visit Avonlea. We also recommend visiting Mandelion.
