A Brief History of Atlas, pt. 2

We are the people from Earth.
Atlas is our new home.
Helios is our star.

- I am Colonel Bathurst, after my great grandfather who was a real Colonel on Earth. I am the governor of Marisabel, in the western coastal region of Cadruim. A fifth of Cadriums' oceanic food supply travels through Marisabel. We are the largest port on Atlas.

Welcome to Marisabel...
I will stand aside now and you may see my city for yourself...

- Twenty five hundred miles of The Great Ocean throw the light of Helios in innumerable directions, shattering the eyesight at some angles and illuminating the depths at others. Schools of Corpulox chase the uncatchable rays as they dive to the depths beyond light. The ocean rolls like the wheat fields of Earth, seemingly back and forth, right up to the edge where it mingles with sand and the toes of toddlers, teachers and theologians. Marisabel Bay is bounded by a bluff at the north and mild hills at the south. The River Akron follows the bluff for thirty kilometers inland where the bluff softens into the hillside of a valley and the river moseys deep, wide and almost lake-like.

- A tropical forest rises from the sands, it is a scarf that wraps the bluff and stretches from the Bay north until it becomes the Pioggia. The bluff rises from the treetops and it's crags are filled with life. At the upper edge of the bluff, a thin silver band stretches out over the air. This is Oceanwalk.
