Atlantis Chronicles

In ancient days now long gone were two civilizations now lost to time. One was Atlantis, remembered well and recorded by the Greeks. They were intellectually and technologically far advanced in comparison with the rest of the world. They interacted little, believing most of human kind to be too young and immature to possess their knowledge, but they were kindly and occasionally provided knowledge and medicine to those they traded with. It is in fact their innate kindness as a people which has left them so well remembered long after the truth has been surpassed by myth. It is known however that their island home which has sunk into the depths of the sea after immense cataclysm was somewhere in or near the north Atlantic Ocean, which is named for this people.

The second civilization was likewise advanced, but was far more interested in arcane magic and power, using their technology as a means to gain control over people. This civilization has been long forgotten, noone wanting to remember the horrors they brought upon the earth. What name they might have gone by is now lost to time...but not completely. These creatures are not all dead.

The last survivors of Atlantis integrated with humanity, while the last of these creatures entombed himself in the remnants of their own sunken city deep beneath the ocean, on the far side of the earth from Atlantis, in the south Pacific.

Neither civilization fully lost it's hold upon the earth. The knowledge of the Atlanteans was at least partially gifted to man, and the call of unspeakable horrors can still be heard by those unfortunate enough to be sensitive to it.

It was war between these two that ended both. This is the reconstruction of their lost chronicles, fragments of which still exist.
