The Four Great Kingdoms of Atlantis
Atlantis itself has three moons: Gaia, Maia and Freia. Atlanteneans worship one god, but also believe in the guardians sent by Emreh to guard each kingdom.
At the western end of Atlantis lies the Tree of Life, an immense tree that is the center of all living things in Atlantis. It was once shared by the Humans and Atlanteneans. The time came when humans started to develop machines that polluted the whole world and threatened the destruction of the Tree, thus ending all life on Earth. The Atlanteneans stood to protect their precious Tree, later on raging war against the humans. Emreh and Yahweh decided to separate the worlds they created to prevent the destruction of both, “sinking” Atlantis in the deep ocean floor, protected by a wall with wards and enchantments. It was later on referred to as "The Great War of Separation".
Atlanteneans do not believe that animals should be taken as food, a notable difference between the human culture and Atlantenean culture. They believe that all life is sacred, and each life is part of the grand design. Alteration of one part would lead to the destruction of the others. Needless to say, an Atlantenean diet consist mostly of fruits and vegetables, but others also include flowers, honey, sap and other flora.
Hayaji
Sometimes called the “Capital of Music and Arts”, Hayaji is located north of Atlantis on a huge floating island. Their population is small compared to the other kingdoms, but they claim to be rich not only in people but also in tradition and resources.
The Sa House: The infamous Sa House is an establishment run by Madam Youna, where young girls are taken in to be trained in the arts of war, dance, music, prose and many other. The House of Sa is responsible for all the social gatherings in the kingdom, whether it is royal, private or public. Their performers are known for their talent and intelligence, and their colourful and extravagant garments.
Blessed Beings: The Blessed, as most of the Hayans prefer to call them, are rare creatures of Atlantis who are born with wings on their backs, resembling angels. Before the Great War that resulted to the separation of Atlantis from the rest of the world, the Blessed were believed to be messengers of their gods.
The Hayan’s ancient guardian is a giant black tortoise, immortalized by their crest: a black tortoise on a silver background. Their country colors are derived from their crest.
The Hayans, or inhabitants of Hayaji have wavy golden hair and piercing, icy blue eyes. Most of the migrants have their eye or hair colors different, due the inter-marriage between the local and the migrants. The characteristic is always true, however to those of royal lineage.
Feura
The kingdom of warriors and smiths, Feura is known for their weapons, art of war and techniques as well as their loyalty and jewelry. Feura is located at the south and is situated beside an active volcano. Other Atlanteneans say that Feurans are born out of fires and are immune to its dreadful heat, that’s why they can forge easily in the heat of the volcano.
The Feuran’s ancient guardian is a golden phoenix, immortalized by their crest: a golden phoenix on a red background. Like the Hayans, their country colors are derived from their crest.

Many say that their songs can sing s dragon to sleep, thus earning them the ancient guardian, the blue water dragon. It is also said that their armors are light and durable because they are forged in the light of moon and the volcanoes under water.
The Callisteans are peace loving people and accepts change better than the hard-headed Feurans, apathetic Hayans and fierce Seresans.
Atlanteneans are relatively good swimmers and can hold their breath for a long period of time. But Callisteans are exceptional swimmers and are said to be able to breathe underwater, since 90% of their domain lies underwater.
The Callistean’s ancient guardian is a majestic water dragon, who is said to hold a crystal orb in its claw that foretold Atlantis’ fate. It is immortalized in their crest: an electric blue dragon on black background.
