**Atlas** is the world in which the *Somber Elegy Series* take place.

Atlas was a planet rich in "aether", one of the two fundamental forms of energy that make up the universe. Its original inhabitants, known in the future solely as the ancients, were also rich in aether. They had the power to weave anything they desired into existence, a magic that they named Arcane, and which they used to peacefully cultivate their home in the pursuit of perfection.

## The World Unsundered

The original Atlas, as it was before Luxianna sundered it.

* **Prometheus** – The capital of the ancients' world, overseen by the original Legion of Shenandoah, a group of mages who were the top experts in their various fields when recruited to the group.
* **Elpis** – A facility on a moon by the same name, located on a floating continent where the Enlightened test their creations before approving them for life on Atlas proper.

## "Atlas"

Also known as "**Lux**" after the goddess said to be the will of the star, this is the world where the True Enlightened and the human civilization are from. After events in *Somber Elegy: Broken Dreams*, "Atlas" is used instead by those who are aware of the original name.

## Mare Stellarum, the Sea of Stars

Beyond the confines of the world lies what is known as the "great expanse"; an unimaginably vast void that separates the stars and is near impossible to traverse. An ancient Empire barely breached the boundaries of the planet by launching their artificial satellite, known as Voxtrox, only after millennia of technological advancement. However, many more worlds dot the sea of stars, some with the technology and physical means to cross the distances.

* **Elpis** – An artificial satellite harnessing the solar energy and housing the god, Valhalla. It was shattered apart when the elder primal broke free during the cusp of the Great Calamity, its fragments embedding themselves across the planet.
* **Astronima** – Simply referred to as "the Moon", is currently the nearest neighbour to Atlas. It is also an artificial satellite, created by Luxianna around the time of the Taurtus War to serve first as a prison for Valhalla, and then as an escape ship from Atlas should Valhalla be freed.
* **"M Class 1-O"** - A faraway planet, the first one visited by Iustitiae who found it already devoid of life.
* **"Sorth R1O"** - The second planet visited by the Iustitiae. According to their report, many buildings are scattered on the star, itself covered with ice. Iustitiae did not manage to identify a presence of life.
* **"Selicalest KL-3"** - The third planet visited by the Iustitiae. According to their report the planet itself covered with magma.
* **"Serth T08T"** - The fourth planet visited by the Iustitiae. According to their report, buildings which could be abandoned residences are on the surface of the star. She supposes that a deadly plague or an extreme degradation of the environment led to a massive extinction.
* **"Geon 3"** - The sixth planet visited by the Iustitiae. The homeworld of the Volsant, a sapphire blue planet that fell to pestilence.
* **"Llagua SV1T"** - The seventh planet visited by the Iustitiae. Inhospitable of human life as reports say that the planet is an ice giant.
* **"Sarvis HU8"** - The eighth planet visited by the Iustitiae. The homeworld of the Atleians. Described as a formerly brilliant star that fell in a global war exacerbated by Iustitiae's arrival.
* **"Trichi 9HH4"** - The ninth planet visited by the Iustitiae. According to their report, the star is an arid desert on which no flora has been found. On the other hand, she found bones similar to those of humans buried under the sand, but was not able to determine their intelligence or connection to the humans inhabiting Atlas.
* **"Brilia 50RU"** - The fifteenth planet visited by the Iustitiae. She did not find any form of life on this star.
* **"Enall Z83"** – The sixteenth planet visited by the Iustitiae. An ancient, technologically advanced planet inhabited by the Ollroid; beings that took to technological augmentation until they were entirely digital, mechanical life devoted to military conquest. The planet has a rocky surface littered with skylines with twisted metal strewn across the surface.
* **Eyuthimya** - The seventeenth planet the Iustitiae visited, the homeworld of the Enlightened. A peaceful planet whose inhabitants achieved what they believed to be perfection by removing all risk, danger, and hurt.
* **"Horely TT 66605"** – The eighteenth planet the Meteia visited, who called it "**Horely TT 66605**". It is a rocky planet with a toxic atmosphere that is highly lethal to humans. Records show that there are no signs of life.
* **Rerelente NY93439-V** - The first planet conquered by the Ollroid civilization, who desired the material resources of this star. The Ollroid originally considered the mechanical defenders the star's inhabitants, but later found that these were the unintelligent devices of the true inhabitants.
