The Cloud Temple of Atlas is the current starting location for all new travelers of Atlas. The main road leading out of the Temple meanders down the templemount, passing by things such as the monk's farm that is for all to use, a portal to the Resource island, a tavern, some stalls, the local bank and an entrance to the mine. Down at the foot of the templemount also lies The Great Library which contains a large scalemodel map of Atlas. It should be noted that due to magic no evil deeds can be conducted within the Cloud Temple grounds, no matter the circumstance. The Templemount is surrounded by a river that connects to the Lochmoors and the Cloud Temple Golf. On the other side of the river lie the outskirts of the Cloud Temple territory, including a large festival area.

Memorials

In the Cloud Temple of Atlas and on it's temple mount stand various memorials to great people who the monks of the temple feel should be remembered by all descendants.

Garden of the Fallen

Behind the temple building, at the side of the Gate of Life is a memorial called 'The Garden of The Fallen'. This for those important descendants lost in time long ago that shall be remembered through their memorials and furthermore in the memory of only few remaining others.

Garden of Heroes

On the other side, at the side of the Gate of Death lies a graveyard of unnamed graves called 'The Garden of Heroes'. Not much is known about who this graveyard is for, and who is buried there, but it is assumed that important figures who the monks failed to resurrect are buried there, a sacred site protected by the monks for them to find eternal rest.

Obelisk of the Explorers

Between the Garden of Heroes and the monks' farm, on top of a hill, sits a small market with next to it, an obelisk memorial called 'To the Explorers'. This is in memory of those who risked their lives back in Axios with great feats of exploration that made the descendants aware of impending danger, let them know of Atlas and enabled them to flee.

Markets

Around the Cloud Temple several markets can be found selling goods to the descendants of Atlas.

Cloud Temple Shoppe

Located close to the Temple itself and next to the bank and tavern sits the Cloud Temple Shoppe, owned by the monks, this shop sells various wares that are otherwise hard to obtain such as saddles.

Skygod Market

As previously mentioned, this market sits between the Garden of Heroes and the monks's farm, on top of a hill, next to the Obelisk of the Explorers. It's not always in use, but from time to time goods imported by the Skygods are being sold here to the descendants.

Festival Stalls

These shops are located on the festival terrain, on the edge of the Cloud Temple territory. They're normally empty, but during festivals such as Krugmas they sell goods themed to that festival.
