How It All Started

Crafting the DoL – The World of Atlantia

Atlantia is a realm born of both mortal fears and magical resilience, a land where history and legend converge in breathtaking beauty and untold peril. Long ago, Atlantia was part of the mortal world—the world we know today. However, as time passed, magic came to be seen as something dark and dangerous, feared and misunderstood by mortals who could not grasp its power. To save magic from extinction and protect the world from its untamed forces, five powerful mages undertook an extraordinary task: they severed Atlantia from the mortal world, transferring it to a parallel realm. This new reality became a sanctuary for magic, a place where it could thrive beyond the reach of mortal judgment.

In this enchanted realm, four distinct territories emerged, each brimming with wonder and danger. At its heart lies Celia, a lush paradise where the magic of nature flourishes. Fantastical creatures roam its ancient forests, and glistening lakes reflect starlit skies. Yet, beauty is matched by mystery, as abandoned castles and haunted ruins whisper of ancient betrayals and forgotten battles. Celia is a land where the harmony of nature is laced with foreboding, a place where every shadow hides a secret.

To the north lies Uppåkra, a frozen domain of towering mountains and icy magic. The hardy inhabitants of this land live in shimmering ice structures amidst glaciers and spectral creatures, their lives shaped by the stark beauty and unrelenting cold. Among the frozen ruins, legends speak of ice dragons, wraiths, and fortresses steeped in mystical lore. Here, every snowflake carries a story, and every gust of wind whispers the secrets of a bygone age.

In the south, the deserts of Amartha stretch endlessly beneath a blazing sun. Golden dunes rise and fall like waves, concealing ancient citadels and cursed relics. Amidst the arid expanse, oases bloom like fleeting miracles, offering life to those brave enough to traverse the unforgiving sands. Amartha’s resilient people draw strength from their harsh surroundings, their wisdom and magic intertwined with the desert’s mysteries. Tales of buried treasures guarded by malevolent entities blur the line between myth and reality, making every shadow a potential threat.

To the southeast, Leptis Magnaroth stands as a land of fire and fury. Volcanoes dominate the skyline, their molten rivers and ash-choked air a testament to the raw power of nature. The ground trembles with volcanic energy, and dark fortresses stand amidst the chaos, their walls blackened by centuries of fire. Legends tell of fire demons and ancient spirits haunting the cursed grounds, daring only the boldest souls to uncover their secrets.

Atlantia is a land where magic endures and thrives, but it is also a place shaped by its mortal past. Though it was severed from the world of men, its connection to our reality lingers in the echoes of its ruins and the stories it holds. Every territory, from Celia’s verdant heart to the fiery depths of Leptis Magnaroth, reflects the balance between beauty and peril, light and shadow. As the legacy of the five mages endures, new heroes must rise to navigate Atlantia’s dual heritage, facing the ever-present darkness to protect the fragile light of its enchanted world.
