Most of the earth's surface is covered with ice sheets and glaciers. Life has flourished within the protective environments of the earth's oceans. The aquatic civilization of Homo Mermanus is said to have been established with the building their first and greatest city, Atlantis.

  The Royal Atlantean Empire first contact with the much older, and equally sinister, aquatic race known as the Dagons.

  The Dagons attack Atlantis and attempt to demolish the city-state. Atlantean civilization is saved when a young Atlantean Priest rallies his people to fight against the monstrous invaders. This is the beginning of the reign of the Atlantean Priest-Kings.

  The Royal Atlantean Empire declares open war against the Dagons. This leads to an all-out conflict under the ocea waves that lasts for over a thousand years. This only cements the natural animosity that the Atlantean race feels towards all things Dagons.
