New Abard is the capital and most populous city in the Republic of Abard within the Yatan Commonwealth located near the Okavango Delta and Zambezi River. The "old town" of the city is built into a series of flat pits roughly 20 meters below sea level, while the rest of the city - including its more modern sections are located in the surrounding savannas.

New Abard was constructed after Cape Town became mostly uninhabitable due to the plague. It was a planned Capital and was built for that very purpose by Rural Abardeans following the abandonment of Cape Town, as they thought that Sizzle had killed the populace of Cape Town as they didn't know of the Plague at the time so they constructed New Abard as a base of operations to enact revenge. They captured many Sizzleans including the leadership and executed or sold them into Slavery, which is what New Abard was sadly known for as much of the west of the city was owned by Slave Owning Abardeans and most of the buildings there were for their work until Iain Singleir banned Slavery in Abard. Due to it being quite far inland New Abard exerts little influence in places outside of Abard.
