Atlas Lost

Atlas Lost was not created in a romantic, mystical act of creation or through a physical chain reaction with the subsequent evolution of the biological mass.   Let's quote one of the few who knows a piece of the truth about the beginning:  

Aplace was created and shaped by the ongoing conflict between two enemies. Stars were born and died, but no reconciliation in sight. What started small spread across the entire multiverse.   Some cynical historians even argue that war was not brought into the world, but that war created the world. The answer to how something like this should work is of course not shared with us by our brothers and sisters beliveing in this theory.   What remains is the philosophical discussion of what came first, the conflict or the multiverse. It goes without saying that hardly anyone is interested in this beautiful, but I admit somewhat academic discussion outside our institution. It's a pity because it has all the Ingredients of an educational adventure story. But it looks like people have other problems, like surviving. What a misfortune rabble.   That goes to the heart of our problem, why the people out there reject us. Because it only has its superstitions and no time to deal with us in a meaningful and differentiated way. What must we do to change the perception of the common people in our favor? ...

  In the beginning, there is a quarrel between siblings who grow up together and their parents who don't want any kind of fight at home. The children created worlds for their small and large quarrels in this way. They created landscapes and populated them with living things to then send them to war against the creations of the other. The War of the Ancient took its course.   Like any other child, they lost that interest in their toys at some point. What remained was the multiverse with all its worlds and beings, who only knew one thing, to fight each other. So they continued, as usual, becoming more and more powerful themselves and starting to form new lives themselves.   The scholars today call the first beings in this conflict who were created by the siblings Ancient. They are worshiped by those who know of them as the gods who created the multiverse and then move on and create new worlds somewhere else. But in everyday life, people worship the new gods, the champions created by the Ancient. But if we're honest; forgotten divine beings, Ancient or whatever came after, it makes no difference to the people on the street.   Enjoy your stay in the multiverse of Atlas Lost
