**Athena** was the Fortnite: Battle Royale map used in Chapter 1 (Pre-Season - Season X). It has about 13 variations throughout Chapter 1. It was reorganised into Apollo, which was then flipped over to reveal Artemis, before it being reforged with Apollo and a part of Reality-659 to create Asteria.

## Storyline

Athena was name of the Fortnite: Battle Royale map that was used in the entirety of Chapter 1. It was held together by the Zero Point, a powerful orb of energy that was used to maintain the island. Many forces had seeked to destroy The Zero Point, which, in result, would destroy the map itself. This included The Seven, The Cube, The Devourer, and more. The Zero Point was contained in a structure called The Vault, which was directly underneath a location called Loot Lake. The Vault had also contained items that had been removed from the outside world, thrown into the Vault. During The Unvaulting, players had managed to take a look into the Vault and could “unvault” a single weapon.

Unfortunately, because everyone was distracted from the Vault, an opportunity was given for another character, known as The Prisoner, to strike the island. The Prisoner managed to destroy two locations (Retail Row & Tilted Towers) and awaken The Devourer from it’s ancient slumber beneath Polar Peak.

Singularity was known as the protector of the Vault. Due to the Devourer now being on the loose, she was forced to leave The Vault and take over the Pressure Plant. From there, she created the Mecha, which was going to be used to defend the island from the Devourer. After weeks of preparation, the Singularity’s Mecha was ready. In the event known as The Final Showdown, The Mecha and the Devourer fought. Eventually, the Mecha had won, but the Zero Point was now out of it’s shell, exposed to the outside.

Athena had lasted a total of 747 days before The Zero Point reorganised it into the new islands (Apollo & Artemis) by The Seven.
