New Cambridge

New Cambridge is a fictional town in Maine, United States, and is the main background setting of Thirlcrest Academy: Scholarship Edition.

Description
One of the few towns located in Thirlcrest County, New Cambridge is a small, heavily wooded town resting on the coast of the North Atlantic Ocean. Small, unimportant, and mostly forgotten by the rest of the state, it is a generally independent town. It borders much more recognized cities, such as Cape Elizabeth and Bangor.

In terms of the locals, there is a very clear divide between the upper and lower class. Downtown New Cambridge has several suburbs and shopping centers neighbored with poverty stricken slums and construction parks. Thirlcrest Academy is the only private school in the town itself, located a few miles away from the local community as a means to protect the interests of townsfolk.

The Harringtons, a family that has resided in the town for generations, are considered the most wealthy family in town and are responsible for funding multiple buildings around town, including the academy itself.

History
Several hundred years old, the town is one of the building blocks of Maine's history, yet seems to have been forgotten as time progressed.
