Atlas Academy is one of the Four Kingdom Huntsman Academies in the World of Remnant and it is stationed in the floating City of Atlas in the Kingdom of Atlas.

The current Headmaster of Atlas Academy in the world of RWBY Fables is Winter Schnee.

### History

What would become Atlas was originally known as Alsius, a combat school in the Kingdom of Mantle. The territory surrounding Alsius was used as a research and development facility during the Great War.

Alsius was later reopened under the name Atlas Academy, in order to house and give guidance to warriors after the conclusion of the Great War. The campus was greatly expanded with the technologies developed during the war, helping to better secure the surrounding territories. As a result, Atlas grew quickly and attracted many to the area surrounding it, including research facilities, laboratories, the original CCTS tower and the military. In time, residential areas also started flocking to Atlas.

It eventually became clear that Atlas had become a bustling city in its own right and overshadowed the main city of Mantle. The decision was thus made to move the capital from Mantle to Atlas, ushering in a "golden age of prosperity". The Kingdom as a whole was also accordingly renamed to Atlas, and became renowned for housing the world's most well-funded academy and its most powerful military force. During recent times, the government of Atlas and the academy existed together as a single entity, along with the military.

In the years following, the academy had come under criticism for the imposition of military lifestyle on its students. Graduates and trainees were also pressured to enlist in the Atlesian Military's Special Operatives unit, a practice that ran contrary to the academy founders' initial intentions for Huntsmen to be free from allegiance to a specific Kingdom.

### History in RWBY Fables

By the present day, 80 years after the end of the Great War, the Headmaster of Atlas Academy was General Ironwood, who was also a senior officer in the military. At some point, Winter Schnee likely attended the school, presumably joining the military's Special Operatives unit after graduating.

And much like the other Kingdom's after the Battle for Beacon 15 years ago, Atlas has received a heavy blow to their reputation.

During the Battle for Beacon, Atlas's entire technological military force was hacked into by an outside source, causing said technological force to attack civilians and allies which was in fact being broadcast across Remnant for the world to see. If it wasn't for the efforts of Vale's Ruby Rose, the technological arms would have continued their rampage through the city. But the blow was heavily done.

After aiding the Kingdoms of Vale and Mistral fight for Beacon, Headmaster General James Ironwood returned with his fleet back to Atlas to begin assuring that what happened at Beacon didn't happen again.

Years later, Ironwood was forced to give up his Headmaster position. After much thought, he passed down his position of Headmaster to none other than Winter Schnee. Not caring for Jacques Schnee's protest, Winter gladly stepped up and became the most effective Headmistress of Atlas Academy.

## Description

### Dress Code

The dress code at Atlas consisted of white long-sleeved shirts with gray pocket-vest jackets on top. These were accompanied by a pair of white dress gloves and a dark-gray tie. Male students wore long white trousers, while female students wore gray stockings and knee-high black boots.

### Location

Atlas Academy is positioned atop the island's center mountain, overlooking the city. There, it is doubled as both the Kingdom's academy and the Kingdom of Atlas's military center, situated directly below Atlas Academy at the city's "Donut", where various facilities were hosted. Directly under Atlas, in the center of the floating landmass, the military kept various facilities in a spiral connected to the city's anchors.

For easy access within its borders, the city used a subway system as public transport. There are a total of four different subway lines within Atlas.
