Pines
Newhaven is famous for its very special pine tree, the Abies Amabilis, the Latin for Pacific silver fir. A very appropriate literal translation could be: friendly pine. The spirally arranged leaves are needle-like, flattended, usually soft and often have silvery bands beneath. The tree bears erect cones that ripen in their first autumn to release seeds and scales. The foliage has an attractive scent, and is sometimes used for Christmas decoration, including Christmas trees.

Having this very special feeling towards nature, Lovians take pride to not cut the trees just for the sake of decorating them indoors. Instead, they enlight the pines at night with thousands of candles they dress under the tall trees. The result is overwhelming and people from all over the world come and join this very special Christmas atmosphere in Lovia.

Humor
The inhabitants of Newhaven are the subject of many jokes for the Lovians. Nothing ordinary there it may seem. However, in the case of the Newhavens, they themselves could be blamed for this. They have something inherent in their language wich is comical and absurd at the same time, namely the "Newhaven Bull". A Newhaven Bull is an expression containing a contradiction in terms of implying a ludicrous inconsistency in speech. Many of these jokes have to do with death or religion. For an example, see underneath.
