Once upon a time, the Atlanteans had a wise and strong king. He allowed his people freedom beyond what any other ruler had allowed, and in return they gave him great riches. ¶¶
As the years passed, the king began to believe more and more in his own divinity. He wished to find a way he could live forever, always watching over his people. If he was able to drink the water of the gods, he would be made a true immortal. ¶
¶
The gods, however, did not approve of this mortal's presumption and saw it as nothing but blasphemy what he wished to do. When he reached the top of the mountain where the water of the gods was, they smote him. ¶
¶
Not content with destroying the king, they set out to destroy the people that had given the king such a believe in his own divinity. Had he not been encouraged in his delusion, the people would have been saved. So Atlantis itself was struck with fire from the heavens and cast beneath the waves. ¶
¶
You are a leader of a small group of Atlanteans from an outer island. You were able to take to boats and flee before your land was destroyed by the giant waves that chased you and flung you onto a new land. ¶
¶
This land is colder than the one you come from, and it is filled with strange people. Will they be friend, or foe? They fight each other already, proving that they are both barbaric. Defenses must be made. We are all that remains of Atlantis. ¶
¶
We will not be destroyed. ¶
¶
First mission: Attempt to rebuild a basic economy in this new land. ¶
¶
Second mission: Survive and destroy the barbarians (Both empire and actual barbarians) that seek to drive you from this land. Unfortunately, we are caught between the two. (slowly build up from basic to being able to fight, having an actual need to defend as well as attack). ¶
