Atlas(Guild/Nation)

Atlas traces its origins to a guild established by Valentine and Lumex, both prominent members of the HGS at the Time. Founded with the central tenets of safeguarding and fostering trade relations with various nations, the Guild's inception was deeply influenced by the ideologies of its co-founders. Notably, being rooted in the principles of Gragonianism, the Guild was inherently founded upon ideals of peace and liberty.

#### Atlas-Soulan Escalation

Tensions escalated significantly as conflicts emerged stemming from the perceived imposition of Soulaan's will on its nation and neighboring regions. This culminated in a verbal altercation between Atlas leadership and the Soulaan government. Regrettably, during this confrontation, the leader of the HGS, Gragon, in an act of self-defense, was forced to take the life of a beloved pet belonging to Oceanman, Soulaan's leader. This tragic incident prompted Oceanman to swiftly disavow his former adherence to Gragonianism:

> SOULAAN DENOUNCES GRAGONIANISM IT IS A FAKE RELIGION RAN BY FALSE PROPHET - Oceanman
>
>

This denouncement served to exacerbate the already strained relations between the two factions. Capitalizing on a growing international support base, Atlas strategically staked its political claim in a region that contested Soulaan's political assertions.

The escalating rift between Atlas and Soulaan not only underscored the ideological differences but also precipitated a geopolitical struggle for dominance in the disputed region, intensifying the political landscape within and beyond their borders.

#### Atlas-Soulan Conflict

The Atlas-Soulan Conflict, a pivotal chapter in the history of the region, was characterized by CEO Lumex's declaration of a holy crusade against the Soulaan empire. This declaration ignited a devastating war that saw numerous nations inadvertently entangled, leading to an international incident resulting in the tragic deaths of individuals mistaken for combatants.

#### Killings of the Atlas War

The conflict witnessed a series of distressing incidents, notably commencing with the Caras Massacre, where Atlas soldiers, amidst a radio malfunction attributed to Arcturus—initially suspected of aligning with Soulaan—wrongly targeted and exterminated the entire populace of Caras Minui. This catastrophic event served as a catalyst for escalating hostilities.

In a subsequent incident in Necropolis, tensions surged further when an Atlas soldier named Initialist fatally assassinated the King of Vincentopium. This act not only strained relations between Soulaan and Necropolis but also contributed to the formation of the NAE, perpetuating lingering animosities.

The climax came with the assassination of Osmeus The I, an action that precipitated the formation of Narda and catalyzed the onset of the Azlerian War. This event marked a turning point in the decline of Soulaan's influence and power, leading to its gradual demise.
These distressing events, marked by miscommunications, misattributions, and miscalculations, underscored the devastating toll of the Atlas-Soulan Conflict. The unintended loss of innocent lives and the political ramifications of these incidents reverberated across the region, shaping its geopolitical landscape for years to come
