The village, made mostly of cultivated land, is Raevkov's most important source of food and a guarantee of the Tzardom's food self-sufficiency.

The Hinterlanders often pass through here as the village is located along the road that leads to the city of Lünburg, which puts them in communication with the rest of the world.

Its fairs and its houses, that still stand in their place, despite all the calamities, is a comfort to the Hinterlanders who see the encampment as a symbol of their indomitable ability to resist adversities. Its view has in fact a reassuring effect for the Hinterlanders, accustomed to a continuous struggle against the hostile climate and darkness of the Attia swamp

Location

New Wakkerdam is located in the Norlanden of Eden between Lünburg and Raevkov next to the river that runs along both.

History

When Raevendrecht, the Hinterlander's capital city now known as Raevkov, faced overpopulation in 1529, its council took the opportunity to expand the arable land for the poor farmers of the Norlanden. New-Wakkerdam is the result of this expansion: a small village that the Hinterlanders nostalgically named after their old capital: Wakkerdam .

The village's management was assigned to Jinx van der Bijlkrijger, Raevendrecht's grand pensionary who used to dabble as a farmer in her spare time.

At the end of 1529, Ghoul creatures started to appear east of the village.

Before the Hinterlander government could react, the dreaded undead creatures gathered in few days, destroyed the farms and attacked the villagers, before being defeated by the Orange Guard.

In 1530, the apparitions of ghouls became more and more frequent until on a cold night in 1531 the village was again laid waste by ghouls, this time together with trolls. Raevendrecht's army reacted by locating and destroying a nearby Troll camp in a punitive expedition.

In 1532 Hadriana started a war with Raevendrecht. The famous war between the Hinterlanders' and the Attians' factions also involved the small village, which was hit by some raids by Hadrian soldiers and that was also marginally involved in the great battle for the Flüssland, which saw the invaders victorious.

Post-war reconstruction was slow and expensive, as much of the small village was destroyed.

New-Wakkerdam's traditional fairs started on this occasion, when the Raevendrecht Grand Pensionary and honored guests inaugurated its reopening after the reconstruction.

New Wakkerdam's Fair brought prestige to the village, which also discovered a different purpose from that of a merely rural and agricultural economy

In 1535 an ancient and very powerful enemy of Eden appeared from the mists of the swamp, and with a massive force of undead he shocked the charming town: his name was The Bone Lord.

Within a few days, The Bone Lord disappeared, leaving only bleak desolation in New-Wakkerdam.

There was no further news of him, but the inhabitants, who rebuilt the village, never recovered from the trauma they suffered. An eerie silence envelops the village on foggy days, where the inhabitants often turn worried glances at the swamp.
