BarbAtlas

BarbAtlas, firstly named as Atlas, located in Adytum, south of Viodoxa City, was an island / town, that later on got combined with Viodoxa City. For years the island served as a private estate, a town (many different times), a farming district and much more and it has went through many ups and downs through the ages.

## History of BarbAtlas

Many towns were founded in the island long before the creation of BarbAtlas. It was first named UTCC during the days of the VIR, then Numorum and Atlas during the First Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa. The island was initially only a few trading settlements and hadn't seen much expansion until the creation of Numorum which seen the island expanded and created more homes and creations of deep sea ports to allow trade to run through into the mainlands of Viodoxa. It was at this period of time when a man known as Kyanos Zevedeos came to live in the town.

### History of Zevedeos Family

After some years the town got abandoned by most people, Kyanos and his family being the last there, claiming the island for themselves. After the death of Kyanos, a group of Viodoxans led by Aris Barbas Zevedeos, Kyanos' son who had inherited the island from his father , came to also inhabit the island. They renamed it into BarbAtlas, they renovated the townhall and raised walls for protection and added new ports and a temple for Guhen. After most of the family's members also left the island and Aris' death the island passed to Aris' nephew Andreas S. Zevedeos, who had the island for many years, until the creation of the IAU, when Andreas left for the province of Demiarbez.

### Recent years

For much of BarbAtlas' recent time it has been absorbed in with Viodoxa City, no longer being used as a separate town but rather as a district of the city. Under the rulership of Archoness Sigfrida, BarbAtlas was renovated in its entirety into BarbAtlas University. The old Townhall was converted into the main lecture hall of the university and the housing was replaced by student dorms.

## Legends of the island

### Legend of the Cyan Man

According to the legend the Cyan Man is a knight that lives under the sea and he comes to the surface when the island of Atlas is about to get destroyed (either during a war or a natural disaster). He can manipulate water and he can ride waves. He is so powerful that he can knock off a whole army only with one move using his huge sword. This legend exists for a long time and no one knows how it started. Although the people of BarbAtlas are faithful to Guhen, they still believe that Cyan Man exists and protects their island. At the moment there are three statues of him, one in the islands and two in the old town hill.
