Well, what was Atlantis? Atlantis was an Empire made up of a large chain of islands in the Atlantic Ocean. This Empire was ruled by a federation of Clans. They had magickal powers to a degree most can not immagine today. So why do I have a pic from Disney's movie Atlantis on here? Well, for once Disney got it right. **throws a bucket of water on those who have just fainted** Yuppers. No, there was no expedition that made it to Atlantis. However, the characters in the movie match exactly a group of people who lived during the end of Atlantis. Some of them died on Atlantis, others surrvived. The Book of Shepards does exist. No I haven't seen it or anything, I'm not that good. But it is out there. Why did Atlantis sink? Because Atlantis was not a straight monarchy, but a federation, the ten most powerful clans sat on a Council. Internal conflict errupted at the same time as some clans started warring with the gods. The gods won, and sank Atlantis so that it's mages would never again challange their power. *Note, I do not own the image above. It is copyrighted by Disney. I don't own anything about Atlantis, movie or not. Check out Disney's Atlantis page, it's niffty.
