Atlantean

## Appearance:

### The 1st Atlantean Renaissance:

In the beginning the people of Atlantis were dark skinned humans, with brightly coloured hair, adorned with tribal markings and clothed in hemp and other plant fibre materials. The grass skirt is still popular with both by men and women as a form of formal dress for special occasions, even in the Present Age.

### The 2nd Atlantean Renaissance:

Approaching
this time the people of Atlantis resembled the Romans while relaxing with just
a simple un- embroidered
or un-detailed white piece of cloth wrapped around them. It was practical, cool
for the hot weather and allowed easy of movement as long as you was not in too
much of a rush. It became a symbol of sorts like "please do not disturb me",
meaning "I am relaxing, please do not bother me".

However when
not relaxing or simpley no longer at work the people of Atlantis are very much
into practical dress but with......I guess you can call it flare. To the people
of Atlantis Expression is a core to what it means to be an Atlantean. So
everyone makes their mark on their work cloths or positions that require a
uniform of some kind. From a lab coat that is made of easy to wash material but
looks its been tire died by a hippy on acid, or a soldiers armour  that looks like it has pieces from all of "Earths"
history from a knights helmet because it gives the most head protection, To
side armour of the Japanese samurai to offer the best protection from arrows from
the side. It is a huge miss match of ideas that to most looks like an eye sore,
but strongly very well design and practical. As it is taking all the best ideas
and mashing them together. But it not always look pretty.

Fashion
to the Atlantean takes of a different meaning, its all about expression.  Are you feeling angry, you wear red, are you
in love you wear blue or pink, if you are serious like a lawyer or a solider
then you dress with as much functionality as possible.

Morpheus
also tried to add a slightly more standard uniform for all professions after the
Joseph (see Joseph maid), and tried to point the peoples core nature of expressionism
into art and crafts.

Lord Morpheus
preferred the people to solve the problems and then rewarded them afterwards
when they solved it. This started the people of Atlantis being rather proud of their
mental abilities.

## Beliefs

"Rewards are earned, not given. Do it yourselves then seek my blessing"

(The Atlanteans have a literal god mate, its you, ofc they have a religion :P)

During the 3rd renaissance there is a type of region that has started that is "Death is earned, not chosen". For a people of immortals this is very important and it is death that gives life a meaning now, but only if they can achieve it.

## Places

### Atlantis (Capital):

The Largest of Lord Morpheus' cities and where his great vision for his people. This great city has gone through a lot of changes through the time, mostly
during all the renaissances. During the 2nd renaissance the city and most of the others looked like Roman architecture but instead of stone it's also a mixture of metal and stone.

Now in The 3rd Atlantean Renaissance the architecture has undergone a rather large change, with there still being hint of Roman but now everything is finer, more refined. The architecture
could be said to be elf in design with arches and frame made of stone and
metals so fine and details that it should not be able to support the stone it
holds. This form of craft is more predominant in Atlantis the other cities not so much, but it is growing.

### Pig Farm:

One of Lord Morpheus favourite places, Pig Farm is a simple village focused on producing food (pigs). It is not Morpheus favourite food he likes them as pets mostly or to simply watch, as he likes to see their simple dreams. On a interesting note, Wilbur does not come from this farm, he comes from Atlantis. Also strangely lord Morpheus has never visited the farm.

### Elysium:

(Describe things of note about the city, appearance, relative size (the largest city of,/ the smallest town of...), monuments that are public knowledge, fortress etc.)

### Pompei:

(Describe things of note about the city, appearance, relative size (the largest city of,/ the smallest town of...), monuments that are public knowledge, fortress etc.)

### Luxor:

A conquered town once owned by the Ashkai. The honourable leader of Pangow offered advice prior to this battle to aid in the conquer of the town, and asked for something in return but nothing specific. Since after taking over the town the plan was also to move on to take more Muqin Sage was offered the one of the taken over towns/cities. Since only one was ever taken and even though nothing was promised in stone Lord Morpheus upholds his words and promises and gave her the only town/city that was taken this being Luxor that now belongs to Pangow.

#### Nautilis:

Once a village placed underwater farming for fish and other Aquatic life. This was one of Atlanteans proudest achievements as it was craft with their knowledge and craft
and not the power of their Lord.

There was
a fare bit of unrest from the people when this underwater village had to be
raised from the waters to become a lumber farm as during the 2nd renaissances food was no longer a need for the people. The people were upset but understood
the need was no more and it needed to be re-purpose, although they do wish they was given the challenge to raise the village themselves.

## Flora

### Palm trees:

Mostly used as lumber but also coconuts as well. But coconuts are not a favourite food of the Altanteans, before the 1st renaissances coconuts was considered a famine food, as it can help keep you alive but too much gives you diarrhoea which can kill
you.

After the 1st renaissance they are fermented and used in cocktails the "Coco Bomb" is the most popular even today for though with the augment to enjoy alcohol. Drinking has become more popular now since the people do not have to worry about the diarrhoea effects, or the intoxicating effect (unless they want to).

### Hickories tree:

These trees are also used as lumber however there is only a few sources of water, so since the beginning these trees have also been used as a source of water and sap when tapped.

### Banana tree:

Its a banana tree, do i need to say more, the most popular fruit to the Atlanteans, although that is not saying much as there is no other fruits. Atlantean do not like banana's (some do) but it's mostly because they are feed it when little in a paste form after being weaned. Good for you but no baby likes being fed it. So when they grow up bananas are something Atlanteans mostly avoid.

### Caulerpa lentillifera (Sea grapes):

Grows all
around the coast of the islands of Atlantis, It is a form of edible seaweed,
with a sweet and tasty favour and very popular to the Atlantean, since apart
from salt this is only other spice they have access to. When crushed and
correctly prepared it can be made into a Sweet source or dried out into a
powder.

## Fauna

### Crustaceans:

Found all around the coasts and part of a stable
diet, from shrimps to crabs, all sorts are found.

### Lizard:

Mostly found on 2 islands
but often kept as pets to the people. Some prefer a pet pig like their lord,
however over time it was considered to be a royal pet only,  once eaten and still done today however
everyone love their pet lizards so only a very limited few do today as it is
considered very taboo.

### Fish:

Not all fish found around
the islands of Atlantean are edible, some are very poisonous, specially the puffer
fish. Fishing takes a lot of skill specially considering if you catch a lot of
fish in a net the deadly ones can kill and poison the edible ones.

### Pigs:

Everyone
knows Lord Morpheus loves his pigs, although he is only ever seen with one. These
pigs have been the source of rumour and conjecture.  People would eat the pigs ever since the 1st renaissances,
but during the 2nd renaissances when it was noticed that Lord Morpheus had a
pet pig, people became worried that eating pork in front of him would insult him in
some way. After a while Lord Morpheus would hold public banquet with the
people, and after on even big and more over the top ones which was known as
"the last meal" before you are converted. Lord Morpheus always
attended these and when ever someone would eat pork, or bacon he would watch and
smile. It was said it was a disturbing smile he was clearly pleased someone was
eating pig, but he seem to take a little bit too much pleasure from watching
people eat pork.

This
caused many rumours as to the reason. No one asked as they don't want to be the next
person to "pull a Joseph". That fact this happy but sinister smile
has only been when he is petting his pet and sleeping pig during these banquet.
Some think the pig was Joseph, some think he really hates pigs, others think we
simply can't understand the mind of a god and he is simply happy to seeing his
people well fed.

### Unknown / Mushi:

A gift
from lord Morpheus since the very beginning, Mushi are life forms that are not fauna
or flora nor technically anything in-between. referred to as basic life forms,
they are not visible but their effects on life and their surrounding are
visible.

There are
over 112 species of Mushi, while most would not wish to settle on the islands
of Atlantis to the Atlanteans this is life, and life is no good without a challenge,
and in learning to cope with these Mushi they have advised.

Mushi masters who specialise in learning about these life forms state they evolve
faster then normal animals, and in the beginning there were only around 12 to
20 types but a Mushi masters job will never be complete because a new species
will always come to be soon.

Details
of these species is a closely kept secret and this information is never written
down only passed down. Why this is not known, it is believe that no one from
the outside of the border even know about the Mushi.
