Atlantia

History

Founding of Atlantia:
Atlantia, the majestic capital of the Kingdom of Neptunia, was founded in the earliest days of the underwater civilization. It began as a collection of intricately carved coral structures, with the ruling council choosing the location for its strategic significance and access to abundant resources. The city's design incorporated the natural beauty of the ocean floor, creating a harmonious blend of architectural marvels and marine life.   Rise to Prominence:
Atlantia rapidly ascended to prominence during the Golden Age of Neptunia. Its grand amphitheaters hosted mesmerizing performances by aquatic artists, and its libraries became renowned repositories of ancient knowledge. The ruling council convened in the heart of Atlantia, guiding the kingdom with wisdom and foresight. The city's central palace, constructed from living coral and adorned with luminescent pearls, served as a symbol of Neptunian unity.   Abyssal Wars and Reconstruction:
During the Abyssal Wars, Atlantia bore the brunt of the onslaught. Many districts suffered severe damage, and the city's once-illustrious architecture lay in ruins. Despite the devastation, the resilience of Atlantians shone through. In the aftermath, the city became a focal point for reconstruction efforts. Atlantia's citizens, led by skilled architects and enchanted artisans, worked tirelessly to restore their beloved capital to its former glory.
