The city of Atla, nestled in the depths of the sea, was founded by Avatar Atla, the first Avatar of the Sea. Its creation marked a pivotal moment in the history of the Triton and Unknown tribes, who were previously disparate and divided. Avatar Atla's vision and leadership unified these tribes, forging a powerful alliance that founded the city. This union transformed Atla into a symbol of unity and strength, standing as a bulwark against the dangers of the deep. The governance of Atla fell to the Eldar Court, a council of wise sages and scholars from both Triton and Sea Elf communities. Their collective wisdom and experience steered the city through times of peace and peril, maintaining the legacy of Avatar Atla even during his absence. The court's decisions and leadership have been instrumental in safeguarding Atla's prosperity and securing its place as a central power in The Sea Realm.

Atla's history has been marked by repeated and brutal Sahuagin raids, which have tested the city's fortitude time and again. These assaults by the so-called 'Sea Devils' have been a constant threat, challenging the unity and resolve of Atla's inhabitants. However, the city has always risen to meet these challenges, reinforcing its reputation as an indomitable fortress against the impending darkness of the ocean. The city of Atla recently faced an unprecedented calamity known as "The Atlan Atrocity." This tragic event saw the city engulfed in chaos and destruction when Brick, a member of The Sunsations, unleashed a devastating Circle of Death upon the cities epicenter. The spell indiscriminately claimed the lives of countless civilians and Triton warriors, leading to an insurmountable death toll and catastrophic weakening of the city's defenses. As a result, the protective water wall faltered, leaving Atla vulnerable to a horde of Sahuagin raiders eagerly awaiting to strike. This event has left a deep scar in the heart of Atla, symbolizing both the fragility of peace and the devastating consequences of desperate actions in dire times.

Revenge of The Coven

Atla

The once-peaceful undersea city of Atla faced one of its darkest hours in a meticulously orchestrated attack by the sinister Coven of the Pearl. This malevolent group, comprised of former Eldar councilors turned Sea Hags, executed a devious plan that cleverly exploited both external invasions and internal corruption. The assault's roots lay in a seemingly minor skirmish at the city gates, where Triton warriors, including the respected Asarion, clashed with Sahuagin raiders. Unbeknownst to the defenders, this battle was part of a larger, malevolent strategy. During the fray, Asarion and several other warriors were covertly infected by Illithid tadpoles. These insidious parasites began their grim transformation process, turning the valiant protectors into monstrous Illithid spawns.

Simultaneous to the infection, the Coven of The Pearl, harnessing their formidable sea-casting abilities, coordinated with the Illithid spawn lurking within the city. Their malevolent influence rapidly spread, turning the once-tranquil streets of Atla into a nightmarish landscape of terror and confusion. The infected warriors, now puppets of the Illithid's will, started to attack their fellow Atlans, spreading chaos and fear throughout the city. The transformation of Asarion, a figure well-known and respected in Atla, marked a pivotal moment in the assault. His ceremorphosis into an Illithid, witnessed by none other than Castiel Ularen and Nualia Laren, served as a harrowing signal of the impending doom. This event catalyzed a cascade of terror as more infected individuals succumbed to the Illithid influence.

As the city's defenders grappled with this internal threat, the Coven seized the opportunity to strike. The protective barriers and defenses of Atla, already weakened by the internal chaos, faltered under the Coven's relentless magical assault. The once impregnable city was now vulnerable, its inhabitants exposed to the horrors unleashed by the Coven and their monstrous allies. The brazen assault on Atla by the Coven of The Pearl, in conjunction with the Illithid spawn, marked a tragic chapter in the city's history. Memory of this dark day will forever haunt the survivors, shaping the city's resolve to rebuild and fortify itself against future threats.
