Utopia Isle

When Atlantis sank, a small number of Atlantean survived, having been away from the homeland when disaster struck. Some of these survivors scattered to different parts of the world, becoming known as heroes, wizards, and legendary figures in human mythology.
Some of the refugees made their way to a remote outpost in what is now the Caribbean. They settled on an island situated in the midst of a dimensional rift in the Bermuda Triangle, shielded from the outside world. It became known as Utopia—literally “a place which is nowhere”—and the Atlantean survivors created a small, self-contained civilization focused on peace, equality, and personal achievement. They abandoned any interest in the mystic arts, believing such things led to the downfall of Atlantis, and focused on the sciences instead. They achieved tremendous advances and enjoyed millennia of peace and prosperity, shunning all contact with the outside world.
In 1941, the Utopians made contact with the first outsiders, and learned of the war raging in Europe against the Nazis. They decided to send an envoy to learn more about this conflict, and a young Utopian named Sarlyn was chosen. He become known as “the Envoy” in the outside world and served as a member of The Liberty League during the Second World War. Although Envoy’s reports showed much promise in humanity, when the United States deployed nuclear weapons to put an end to the war, the Utopians decided to remain isolated from the outside world.
The world at large is generally aware of Utopia Isle’s existence, although its location—and how to reach it—remains a closely guarded secret, known to only a trusted few. Although some Utopians favor renewing contact with the outside world, the majority fear the contamination of their peaceful culture and the threat of what humanity might do if they discover Utopia’s existence. A growing minority lobbies for leaving Earth altogether to colonize another planet in the galaxy, leaving any fear of discovery behind. For now, the Utopians wait and watch for signs that humanity is developing toward the kind of peace and understanding they have achieved.
