New Olympus is the island home of the New Olympians.
History
The New Olympians withdrew to New Olympus at some unspecified date (although presumably between the founding of Rome and the reign of Caesar Augustus) to seal themselves off from the outside world on account of their persecution by humans. New Olympus was presumably founded at some point long before. Its precise location is unknown, although presumably it is somewhere in the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean.
New Olympus remained undisturbed by the outside world until 1996, when Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx came here on the Avalon World Tour. The New Olympians, suspicious of Elisa because of their ancestors' experiences with humans, temporarily imprisoned her, but after she helped save the island from Proteus, released her. ("The New Olympians")
Later on, Terry Chung will come to New Olympus, and serve as the catalyst for it making contact with the human world.
Characteristics
New Olympus is hidden from the outside world by a sophisticated cloaking device, although it is doubtful as to how much longer that will be the case, given the advance of human technology.
Noted landmarks of New Olympus include the Senate-House, where the citizens meet to deal with government issues, the Columnadium, which houses the island's power supply, Mount Thanatos, where the New Olympian Clan of gargoyles resides, and the prison, where Proteus is currently incarcerated.
