To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door. There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely.

There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be. Every Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That's the New World.
