History[]
Pre-Atlantis Age[]
Before Atlantis was officially created, there were a few small cities around. One of these include Arretium. These cities were often at war with eachother, due to arguments over who controlled all of Madagascar.
The Kenya stone circle.
1st Age (1-500)[]
The first age of Atlantis is from it's discovery to it's 500th birthday. During this period.

Discovery[]
On a cold evening, a man by the name of James Atlant and a small group of his friends took his new sailboat out for a spin in the Mozambique Channel. They didn't know it, but a cyclone was coming. Once it hit, the waves picked up, they are knocked unconscious and the sailboat shores on the island of Madagascar. At this time, the island was unknown. They need to survive here. They call it Atlantis after James Atlant, the owner of the sailboat. {C The boys manage to survive 6 weeks before a search and rescue boat was sent out when the boys were reported as missing. After they were rescued, the island officially becomes Atlantis. More people sail down to the island to find gold (This did happen, and caused the gold rush of Atlantis).
Early Years[]
The first few years were rough. When the capital was nearly complete an earthquake struck, which devastated the city. Nearly all the population died.
Then, we struck gold. In eastern Atlantis, a miner found gold while he was getting stone to build a house. This made many people move into Atlantis for gold, and they ended up living here and assisting with the construction of the city.
The natives began arguing that since they came to Atlantis first, the gold should be theirs. After 2 years of arguments, they leave Atlantis and move onto the islands just north of it.
Middle Years[]
Shortly after the Gold Rush of Atlantis, the King ordered a tower be built, a tower like no other in existance. We used white stones and from the ground rose the original White Tower, the official residence for the Royal Family. They lived here until the Golden Tower replaced it.
The Golden Tower in Arretium.
Shortly after, some people moved onto the islands north of Atlantis. Most of the natives had died out there, and we claimed the island as part of Atlantis. A small amount of gold was also found. Unfortunately the only gold that was there got lost after it had been mined. {C Near the end of Atlantis' Middle Years, Pacem and Vorno were created, along with several others. We became allies with both. However, Pacem killed some innocent civilians, and we terminated the alliance with them. The alliance between Atlantis and Vorno still remains, however.
Shortly after Atlantis had developed Antimatter, a cargo ship transporting some crashed and caught fire. The result was a huge explosion that flattened most of Port Hampshfire and killed nearly 2,000, making it the deadliest disaster in Atlantis
Recent Years[]
Police during the Ethiopian Gold Rush riots.
In 2155, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia declared war on Atlantis. Once the war ended in 2167, their lands were put under our control. Another gold rush took place in northern Ethiopia. A miner found a fair amount of gold and a few diamonds while he was mining. People began moving to Ethiopia to get their hands on the fortune. When this ended, a riot took place in attempts to steal gold and diamonds from other people. The riots lasted 3 months, during which 50 civilians and 10 police men were killed.
In 2210, we began constructing one of the biggest projects for the Atlantis Military. We built a Space Cruiser. Capable of going 1.5x the speed of light, and the Atlantis National Space Station. Which can hold 2,000 people and was placed 6 light years away.
In the year 2255, King Stephen requested a new home be built, something unlike what he's living in now. From the ground rose a new tower, this one was made out of bricks painted gold. The new home became the "Golden Tower". King James III was the only King ever to live in this building, as Westmore Palace had been completed.
In the year 2365 the Atlantis Civil War in the province of Mozambique has been going on for 15 years, making it the longest war in Atlantis
For the later years, all was well within the country. Although, in the Second Age, things were to turn for the worse.
Second Age (501-1000)[]
Early Years[]
Very early in the Second Age, Tanzania and Somalia declared secession, to form the New African Empire, led by Morgan and Mordred. Atlantis soon retalitated, as did the Remnant Kingdom.
