Atlas
|
Atlas (1643-1704) is a wild, mostly uncharted landscape that little mention in ancient texts. The abandoned continent, dotted with Orcish ruins and Elven monuments, is sacred to a number of religions and magic arts for various mysterious reasons. Some parts of the land display a gorgeous majesty that stand as a testament to this beautiful and almost untouched landscape. A faint stillness rests in the air as if all of the land, trees, and rocks are holding their breath for the next stage of the play. The few ruins that still exist hint towards a struggle who's stories lay hidden under the wild voracious overgrowth, a story that's been patiently waiting to be dug up.

History
Altas is a wild and untamed landscape with an unknown origin and many mysteries.
Discovery
Atlas was first discovered by the Descendants as they fled the ruined landscape of Axios. They followed a naval chart that had shown the way to a potential new home, but were blown off course in a sudden barrage of bad weather. The Descendants soon found themselves on the peninsula of Atlas.

Important Locations
- Last Hope
A barren and desolate castle ruined in the most southern quadrant of this world, the stone fortress sits against the backdrop of a towering barrier of ice. Wind howls through the hollow walls of the fortress and ghostly figures are sometimes reported to be seen on the ramparts of this massive structure, gazing out at any who travel too close to their vigil.
The verdant and bustling capital of the Elven Dominion in the forested north-western corner of the continent. Close to its stone walls sits a mysterious spire of pale stone, a relic of the ancient Elven civilization which inhabited Atlas in years long gone by.
