The New World in Overlord is the unnamed fantasy world where the Great Tomb of Nazarick arrives after Yggdrasil shuts down, a land of human kingdoms and magic strong enough to bend physics itself.

When the servers of the game Yggdrasil close in Overlord, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is carried somewhere its master cannot identify. That destination is the New World, a tentative label for a land whose true name its newest arrivals do not know. It resembles a continental Europe just out of its middle ages, yet magic bends its rules: items produce light without fuel, pouches pour out water, spells restore soil, and the laws of physics themselves defer to spellcraft.

The world has one sun and a single moon, and speech is translated automatically for every listener, though writing must still be learned. Its people measure weak against Yggdrasil standards even so, and its human nations, among them the Re-Estize Kingdom, the Baharuth Empire, and the Slane Theocracy, sit close to the spot where Nazarick arrives.
