North of New Thera, or NoT as it as colloquially abbreviated, is a junction of the Prelatorian Highway at the northern terminus of New Thera's Spring Lane. It lies, oddly enough, north of the village of New Thera. To its east lies the Crystal Leaf Inn, to its northwest the Mausoleum of Ekary Lucoster, and far to the north is the city-state of Ashtan. Due to its location, it is a popular meeting place for adventurers throughout the land.
