Newheart City

**Newheart City** is a significant location in A Few Cruel Twists of Fate, where a majority of the characters live in and events take place.

A sprawling, urban hub of modern superhuman culture and lifestyles, open to supers of all shapes and sizes. The city and its citizens are said to be a great example of an 'ideal superhuman lifestyle setting', as there are frequent displays of the people having adopted a culture unique to them, and the city is sufficiently advanced to have implemented laws and developed technology, culture, and practices relating to this 'new normal'.

* **Newheart City P. D. Precinct:** The headquarters of the Newheart City Police Department. The NCPD are a very respected police force. Their reputation precedes them, and well-deservingly so. Ever since the start of the new Superhuman Age, despite the prevalence of licensed public and indie heroes, crime continues to skyrocket worldwide, and police forces struggle to keep up with new threats every day. However, keeping up with the Newheart values, the NCPD are effective and well-adapted to their jobs. In fact, Newheart is considered one of the highest-ranked cities with regards to safety, among other things. That is, however, only when you compare it to other cities in general, as the global death toll average has never been as high as in the Superhuman Age.
* **AOV Headquarters:** The headquarters of the Agents of Virtue, Newheart's resident superhero team and one of the best in the world.

### Regions

It's famous for its lush springs and rich cultural history, manifesting in its greenery and ancient architecture. The humble people of Springfort have maintained this state of the city for years, catching up to Newheart's (and the world's) eager need for development while still keeping tradition in mind.

## Trivia
