A distant continent inspired by the colonial Americas and West Africa, known for its jurda farms and relatively tolerant attitude toward Grisha. Novyi Zem is a frontier land of opportunity, far from the political conflicts of Ravka and Fjerda. Jesper Fahey is originally from Novyi Zem, and jurda - the plant whose processed form becomes the devastating drug parem - is a major Novyi Zem crop.
