New Haven is located in the eastern-half of the Northern Territories. New Haven is the *de facto* capital of the Northern Territories, being the largest city governed by the D.T.U. in the North, having been split into an Inner and Outer City in the novel; *Cataclysm: Definitive Edition* (and the original).

New Haven is seen when the Stephen McArthur drives Robert Charlton, Katrina Davenport and Lorraine McArthur to the city to finally fulfill the doctor's journey and flee from Arch-Tiberius and his bloodthirsty Horde.

## Background & Description:

New Haven was originally built by aristocrats upon the ruins of an old city, after the cataclysmic event. Over time, needing places for their manual labourers to live, they began to expand their territory.

Over time the original rulers of New Haven began to brand and use slaves they had bought from the Red Valley Tribes. The need to expand their territory further to house their new slaves, meant that the New Haveners had to battle with neighbouring factions. The gamble proved successful and the New Haveners gained more territory.

As the decades went by Inner New Haven was formed for the super elite of society, while Outer New Haven was for the work force and outskirts for the farmers and slaves. Eventually Byron Sparrow laid siege to the city and heavily crippled their infrastructure. Byron was unable to assault the city, even with his large army, due to the defenses of the Inner-City.

Eventually the New Haveners paid tribute to Byron and he left them in peace. The second faction to attempt taking over New Haven was the Democratic Trade Union. The D.T.U. successfully brought New Haven into their fold by diplomatic means and trade deals.

With this in place New Haven was assimilated by the D.T.U. Government and slavery was abolished in the area, the New Haven elite, who were not satisfied with this, were arrested and sent to Tond to see out their sentences.

Inner New Haven remained a place for the social elite and those of rich income, while Outer New Haven became the home of the middle and low classes of society. Eventually the residents of Inner New Haven would infiltrate the Democratic Trade Union New Haven City Guard and keep undesirables out of the Inner-City or would bribe guards-on-duty of on the gates leading into Inner New Haven.
