Atmos

Atmos is a contiguous region of land, and serves as the main setting of the Storm Hawks (TV series).
==Etymology==
Atmos is an extract of atmosphere, which is in turn derived from the Ancient Greek word ἀτμός (atmos), meaning vapour.
==Geography==
Atmos is made up of habitable "Terras" that are large stilted areas that rise into the sky of various sizes, and below that, the Wastelands, a vast uninhabitable place of lava, treacherous rock formations and dangerous creatures.
The capital of free Atmos is Terra Atmosia, the base of the influential Sky Knight Council. Much of Atmos is ruled over by Cyclonia, an evil empire led by the ruthless Master Cyclonis.
Another part of Atmos is the Great Expanse; a vast, uncharted land. Due to a mysterious energy that fills the area, navigational instruments in the Great Expanse are rendered useless. Its size is unknown.
==Climate==
Due to its enormous size, the Terras scattered throughout Atmos have various climates, ranging from deserts in Terra Saharr, to tropical rainforests in Terra Amazonia, to tundras in Terra Blizzaris.
==Far Side of Atmos==
High mountain ranges are established as boundaries of the known Atmos, which even airships cannot physically pass through. Beyond the borders of Atmos lies an uncharted landmass, commonly known as the Far Side of Atmos. Not much is known about it, except for what may be a single city built in a mountainous terrain that features a tall tower that illuminates the area in green light. ("Cyclonia Rising (Part 2)", "Dark Waters")
In "Stratosphere", it is revealed that the Far Side can only be seen from outer space (Kármán line (Karman line, 100 kilometres, 62 miles, 330,000 feet)).
The Far Side of the Atmos is only accessible through a portal unlocked with the Oracle Crystal or an underwater tunnel system. ("Dark Waters")
Master Cyclonis fled to here after Cyclonia was defeated in "Cyclonia Rising (Part 2)".
Large shark-like creatures of Far Side once fled to Atmosian waters ("Dark Waters") but they were driven back into endless caverns and the entrance was sealed by the Storm Hawks. Hovever one was able to escape and damaged the "Condor". This caused it to flood and sink. Strange creatures can also be seen flying about. From a distance, they appear to be dragons.
The only people known to be in Far Side are I.J. Domiwick, the Storm Hawks, and Master Cyclonis.
