TAC

**TAC** aka Terra Nova is an artificial continent on the planet Newerth and is far more technologically advanced. **Hilary**, the Heroine of Heliotrope, came from TAC. She wielded the legendary dagger, Carnwennan.

## History

Years ago before the tower was sent to Tirahnys, a group wanted to build something impressive; they consisted of 3 masterminds, 10 workers and engineers and a couple of sponsors helping out the project. After months of work and failed experiments the team decided to take a break and meanwhile to stack up on materials.

They heard rumours about a new continent being found. Interested they decided to explore the new continent for things that might help them at some point. When they arrived at the mines a few days later they found out about an energy reproducing mineral so rare in Tirahnys that it was once thought to be just a relic in it's museum. But the mineral came in such an enormous quantity that it lead to an increased scope for the project. The team insisted on staying at the mines so they can analyse the mineral.

Before they realized it, they started building large research facilities, new flats for the miners and their families. They built up a capital called Heliotrope City. Any found sign of civilization were occupied and made technologically as well. One of those towns was Hilary Town, town named after the heroine of unknown origins who helped the downfall of Dracura. Technology based on their old research expanded drastically thanks to the mineral.

Years later the continent was changed beyond recognition. Electromagnetic technology allowed vehicles to fly into the air. Eye pleasing neon signs scream details at the human eye. The tall skyscrapers split the clouds in half and the neon lights make them look like a water painting. Everything was beautiful.

On 10th March 2008, the president announced the continent's independency and named the country Terra-Nova. The only way the other continents got to know that was through those who left the country and immigrated to other nations. Those outside Terra-Nova called the continent TAC (Short for Technologically Advanced Continent). As a last thanks to Tirahnys they sent the Tower and guns from the 3 masterminds, now called the three legendary gunsmiths due to the fact that those guns were a big help for Tirahnys at hard times.

On 6th January 2014, almost a year after the castle master’s apocalyptic threat, Tirahnys lost all hope for salvation and blamed TAC because they didn’t send any of their “fancy” robots or soldiers to help save the world. Meanwhile in Terra-Nova an explosion was heard and a skyscraper was seen falling down. 20% of Terra-Nova was destroyed, 25% of the citizens were dead or missing, 40% of the military soldiers too. The children were reported to be seen crying, holding on to their running mothers. The continent was attacked by a group of terrorists consisting of the local population trying mindlessly to change the planet to its former self. Everything was in chaos and it was only matter of time before it all fell down.
A wounded man was reported to have been holding a telegraph from Tirahnys saying his last words to his daughter: “The world is going to die. But we. We are going to die first.”

* **Hilary Town**: A former village named after the heroine of the continent and the headquarters of terrorists who want to revert the continent back to it's former state. The city was bombed multiple times by the last of the military from Heliotrope City.

* **Cogito Research Facilities**: The Facilities built during the inquisition of the continent. Full of mineral waste.
* Mines: Filled with a rare

## Military

* Due to Terra-Nova's distrust of the other nations, their military might is dedicated to protecting the nation. They have multiple air forces, robots and soldiers.

## Trivia

* TAC is the only continent on Newerth not to be created by Cibryll's sockpuppets. Instead, it was created by a former XSP member called Alfasketer.
