Description

This is not original, these are two drawings made by mossacannibalis on Twitter that I copied and edited to look more Bronze Age (originals were a 16th century Mexican and a Safavid woman iirc) but I like how it looks so even though it's not original and I don't take credit for it I'll post it here.

Also known as the Empire of All Seas, the Adrarigh or Atlantean Empire is the greatest realm of Mankind… Or so the Atlanteans say, for today their empire is a decaying mess of feuding rival factions. Hailing from the isle of Atlantis, these men inhabit many cities across and even beyond their imperial holdings. Many claim the proud Atlanteans are less a race and more a mongrel group of many other races, taken by the now nigh-extinct Starborn (giants) as servants ages ago, but Atlanteans consider this insulting slander.


The Atlanteans, or Adrari, as they call themselves, are a tall and slender race, with bronze skin, hair from black to reddish brown and eyes ranging from blue to black. Their women have facial tattoos, their men wear poncho-like cloaks and their nobles are tall, claiming giant ancestry.


Originally, the men of Atlantis worshipped a grand pantheon of beast-headed gods, long-dead kings and ancestor-spirits with strict rules for the building of grand tombs and the passage to the afterlife. However, Emperor OZYMANDIAS of Atlantis has recently outlawed this worship, instead transforming the strange, monotheistic Cult of the Morning Star into the empire's official religion, with the fiercest worshippers of the old gods fleeing to the eastern colonies. Some say that this new cult gained influence through its mysterious alchemical knowledge, permitting its priest-smiths to transform mere iron into powerful steel.
