​
A
Accessor-Crystal: Crystals programmed as keys so people can gain access to doors or devices such as hover craft. They are worn as bracelets or rings.
Agartha: A network of cities within the hollow sphere of Sophaiya, referred to as the Realm of Subterra. They lie deep in massive hollow caverns and are lit by phosphorescent moss that grows abundantly. Beneath Atlantis are six layers of Subterra leading to Agartha. These layers are home to a class of Atlantean priestly scholars called the Luminari, who are the gatekeepers between Atlantis and Agartha. The cities of Agartha are home to a race of Subterran humans ascended to a higher frequency and are the protectors of the passage to the Halls of Amen’ti.
Age of Fire and Blood: Referred to as the time when the three Bloodfire Nations, Sauros, Hyperborea, and Thule waged war on Lemuria. It was the first war on Sophaiya. Sorcerers influenced by the Blood Gods conquered the innocent masses, forcing them into slavery and human sacrifice. Nature was set off balance by the widespread use of magic. Volcanoes and earthquakes changed the face of the planet. The poles shifted and set the planet into an ice age. Atlantis rose at the latter half of the age, at the start of what is now known as the Ice Age.
Alta: Highest ranking priests of the Temple Sect. They wear white robes to set them apart from lower tiers of the clergy. The twelve orders of the temple are ruled by the Alta. They are the keepers of temple rules and higher decision making.
Ambassador Sect: One of the seven sects of Atlantean government. Atlanteans who travel abroad are registered in this sect, and visitors to Atlantean cities are expected to register in this sect during their stay.
Animata: Human-like beings without a soul created for menial and hard labor in Atlantis. The practice evolved in the Second Age of Atlantis, when scientists developed methods to remove the animal appendages from manator. Their science expanded into the creation of biological bodies that could be animated and powered solely by the Crystal Grid.
Anunaki: The original team of scientists who came to Sophaiya to oversee the seeding of life forms on the planet. They were the first Watchers, and took the form of bi-pedal, feathered reptilians. It was their work that created the human experiment. Belial and his brother Sataku were among this team, but they split ways when Belial wanted to liberate the human experiment and allow them to develop on their own, while his brother wanted to be their overlord.
Aphrodisiacs: Elixirs made from herbs to create sexual arousal.
Aphrodite: Watcher of love and sensuality.
Apollo: Watcher of wisdom and prophecy.
Archives Nexes: A bio-crystalline record of all human existence hard wired to the Crystal Grid. The Archives is the mechanism by which the Great Crystal functions. Without it, the Grid would function, and yet humans would not possess the ability to control it. It is highly protected by the Temple Sect and cannot be accessed unless citizens petition in the Temple Sect for whatever knowledge they wish to attain. The Conclaves have, however begun to figure out how to access the Archives through the Grid on their own.
Atlas: Son of Poseidon who became the original high king of Atlantis. All royal lineage is descended from him. The royal line is thus referred to as the line of Atlas.
Atlas, Kingdom of: The island kingdom known as the seat of government in the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. Poseidia, the ruling city where the high king and queen live, is the main city on the island. The rest of the kingdom is known for its abundant agriculture.
Auric Field: The aura, or layer of energy made of subtle bodies that surround every human body. There are as many layers of the aura as there are layers of dreamtime (dimensions). This means every human has an auric body in each of the twelve layers, though they are not generally aware of this unless they practice awareness through activation of the mindlight.
Automatons: The proper term for what Atlanteans call animata that have been created for menial and hard labor.
Avatar: A human who has been chosen to embody the soul essence of a non-physical being such as a Watcher or an elemental. The Watcher piggybacks on the consciousness of the human, thus sharing one body. This is a means for the Watcher to experience physicality without being stuck in an incarnation.
Axiom of One: Said to be the highest of all truths, the Axiom has been passed down since the dawn of time. The Followers of the Axiom in Atlantis are said to practice the ancient ways of Lemuria. It is a simple principle that all life is interconnected.
Azoria: One of the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. A collection of mountainous islands in Eastern Atlantis. Known for its hospitality, the beautiful islands have many small bays with pristine villages of seafarers and fishermen. Because of their location, there are many trade routes that pass through the main cities of Azoria. There is a bawdy quality to the people, who have wild, rowdy revelries, and dress in revealing clothes with tattoos and piercings. Because they place a high value on free-will, they are known as a free trader refuge. Azorian authorities turn a blind eye on pop up settlements of outlaws within their many uninhabited islands.
B
Belial: A trickster Watcher known as the guardian of knowledge and free-will. He was in the first migration from Maldek who came to Sophaiya to develop the human species. Along with his brother Sataku, he developed the human genome as it exists still to this day, however, he split from his brother, because he didn’t believe in using humans as slaves, and so started a movement to preserve their free will. He was a hero of the Lemurian age and brought the Archives Nexes through Subterra to Atlantis. Originally mated to Kama, the two of them vowed to remain separated until they could fix the damage done to Sophaiya by their people. In modern times, Belial has come to mean “To waste one’s worth,” or “failure to have value.” His defection caused his people to redefine his name and accuse him of bringing pain and suffering to Sophaiya by bringing them truth and knowledge.
Belial’s Promised Land: Referring to the state of mind connected to Source consciousness past the limitations of physical understanding. (See Halls of Amen’ti.)
Bloodfire Nations: The collective name of the fire alliance during the Age of Fire and Blood, who waged the first war on Sophaiya. They were eventually punished by the elements, who froze them in ice, beginning the ice age. The three kingdoms were Hyperborea, Thule and Sauros. They were ruled over by sorcerer kings with fear and slavery. The war with the Bloodfire Nations is what eventually caused the demise of Lemuria, and thus the rise of Atlantis.
Blood Triad: Ancient Nephilim (beings born from the mating of Watchers and humans) who practiced dark sorcery to gain power and dominion over humans. They ruled with fear and gained power through blood sacrifice. At the height of their power, they ruled over the Bloodfire Nations during the dark Age of Fire and Blood. The most powerful among them were the Triad, who ruled over Hyperborea, Thule and Sauros. They were defeated by the Atlantean fire crystal, which summoned elementals to freeze their nations under layers of glaciers. There they remained in stasis until they were freed in the third age. They exist as disembodied spirits that are otherwise known as demons.
Blue Dream Awakening: Referring to the activation of a new genetic sequence that has been designed to awaken during the generation of this chronicle.
Blue Dream Elixir: A forbidden elixir made from sha'mana and the psychedelic blue lily of Khemet. Used by the conclaves of the Children of One to awaken their genetic sequence. This process is called the blue dream awakening. It is said to activate the ability to see into blue Dreamtime, which is the first step toward activating the gateways of initiation. Only those born with the upgraded genetics can be affected by the elixir.
Blue Dream Marker: When one sees into the blue dream, they are able to see the markers left by those who are adept at creating them. These are ribbons of blue energy made of emotional imprints, meant to lead awakened ones to various conclave meetings and revelries.
Blue Dreamtime: A frequency of Dreamtime vibrating in the blue spectrum. Said to be only seen by those who possess the proper genetic sequence, and who have gone through the awakening. Used by the conclaves of the Children of One to leave signs that could only be seen by those who have been awakened by the elixir. Those who have activated more gateways of initiation can dreamwalk in this frequency, and not be detected by anyone, even by dreamwalkers who have not gone through the awakening. It is said to be a gift from Belial, and perhaps the telluric world, but no one knows for certain.
Builder Sect: (See Sects) Class of citizens in Atlantis who have taken a trade or profession. One does not have to be born into the sect, thus it is referred to as non-hereditary. Anyone in a profession that serves the function of the civilization is known as a builder, from carpenters to entertainers to farmers to kallistas. It is the largest sect of the seven.
C
Cantos: The sacred cantos of Belial are the definitive cultural guide to Atlantean citizens. They are poetic verses describing the reason why Atlantis was created, and what role its citizens need to play. They do not define rules or spiritual disciplines, only values and social morays.
Cartels: (See Commercian) Groups within a trade guild who have formed an alliance to strengthen their hold on their area of discipline.
Cartel Docks: Docks within the urban areas of every Atlantean kingdom where traveling traders and merchants register to set up temporary shops and show their import items to locals.
Celestius Realm: Referring to the realm of the skyroads in the atmosphere of Sophaiya. The kingdoms within Celestius are known as the crystal cities and can be accessed through Dreamtime. The liaisons between Atlantis and Celestius are called Illuminati. Celestius is the first realm anyone enters when they wish to enter the incarnation cycle of Sophaiya, and it is where souls return when they leave their incarnations. It is often mistaken for heaven.
Chakras: Energy centers in the human body of which there are 12. Each chakra is associated with a gland in the human body, as well as one of the 12 auric bodies in each of the layers of Dreamtime. They regulate the flow of spiritual energy between the human endocrine system, the auric field, and connection with the consciousness of the planet.
Children of One: (See Axiom of One, Conclaves, Lost Temple Children) Formal term for the conclaves who sprang up toward the last decade of Atlantis's third age. Called so because they received their initial information from the Axiom of One, an ancient remnant of Lemurian beliefs. They maintain the study of the principles of universal oneness and seek to awaken their innate powers through communion with the Archives Nexes.
Commercians: The trade of networking commerce. Commercians negotiate trade through the kingdoms and represent merchants and trade guild interests. Akin to modern day agents or managers. They also broker the trade of influence tallies, which is the currency of Atlantis. (See Influence tallies).
Commons Areas: Farmers throughout the land give a portion of their crop to the commons, which is distributed in designated areas for any citizen to receive for free. The rest of the food is sold for influence tally or trade in numerous marketplaces or shipped to other islands by marketeers. There are a limited amount of commons areas, thus many citizens trade with local dealers to avoid travel to the commons.
Communication Methods: During the first two ages, long-range communication was conducted telepathically through the Grid. In the third age, psychic awareness has diminished. All long-range communication is conducted through tool crystals. Crystal-transmitters, locators, summoners, and messengers are used for their various purposes. Viewer-crystals known as VC's are used to transmit information to masses through images and amplified sound. The conclaves have begun to unlock the ability to transmit psychically through the Grid, however. In the third age, this has begun to change the face of long-range communication.
Conclaves: (See Children of One, Lost Temple Children) Referring to the secret regional groups of Atlanteans known as Children of One. They are an underground movement who has learned how to access the Archives Nexes through the Crystal Grid. In accessing ancient, forbidden knowledge, they have awakened innate powers. They first emerged during the renegade revelries when hover-tricksters began to operate off-mound. When King Koraxx implemented the hover mound laws, they began to gather in secret and practice their hover tricks. This eventually led to them discovering their genetic abilities, the blue dream awakening, soul-crystal symbiosis, and accessing gateways of inner initiation. Since their practices have been outlawed, conclaves operate in secret, even from one another, though they interact regularly by leaving blue dream markers that lead to their strongholds.
Council of Seven: (See High Council)
Council of Ten Kings: Royal council of regional kings. Atlantis was originally split up into ten kingdoms. Each kingdom was governed by descendants of Atlas’s original twelve children. Over the decades these kingdoms dwindled, and in the time of the third age, have been separated into islands after various natural disasters. Poseidia in the kingdom of Atlas remains the ruling city of all Atlantis because it is where the Great Crystal is located. It is thus where the high king and queen reside, who are the figureheads of the ten kingdoms. They are the leaders of the Council of Ten Kings. The monarchs of the ten kingdoms have a vote in more complicated matters that affect all of the region and have full authority over their own kingdom. They are mostly an alliance, though they operate under a set of regional rules that apply to all.
Crux: A point in time and space when fate lines converge to create a moment that could shape the future for good or ill.
Crystal Cities: Majestic ethereal cities along the skyroads of Celestius. They exist in the higher layers of Dreamtime and cannot be detected by the physical eye. It is said the crystal cities are ports of call for intergalactic travelers, and it is from these cities that a soul can decide to enter into the cycle of reincarnation within the Meridian Realm of this planet. Once incarnation cycle is complete, all souls leave their physical bodies and return to the crystal cities and start again. The cities also act as anchor points for the planetary grid of light that encircles Sophaiya.
Crystal Council: Telluric beings representing the cosmic alliance who inhabit twelve crystal skulls. These skulls are situated in the temple of light at the heart of Atlantis where the Great Crystal emanates. They are the regulators and the protectors of the Crystal Grid.
Crystal Grid: A telepathic energy network connecting the people empathically. Anything that happens within the Grid is felt through the network. It also serves to power the cities by creating lights at night, activates the road mounds, and all machinery, running water, and all other automated systems. Essentially it creates an invisible dome that controls the weather over the ten kingdoms, and all currents within Atlantis. It is run by the Great Crystal, a powerful source of free energy. It is powered by crystal obelisk nodes placed at specific vortex points. The Grid works in chorus with natural telluric lines on the planet’s surface, and human telepathic emanations. Temple centers are built around the crystal nodes, (also called resonant capacitors) where citizens assemble to participate in illumination rituals. The rituals consist of mudra meditations. The nodes gather the peoples’ telepathic projection, send it to a central capacitor node, which then balances and powers the Grid, or “illuminates” the city. The call to illumination rituals is marked by the grid resonance or nodesong; when the grid guardians activate the mechanism that causes the nodes to sing through the city. The Grid is centered on the Great Crystal in the heart of Poseidia and branches out across the ten kingdoms of Atlantis.
Crystal Magi: Those who practice magic with crystals.
Crystals: There are many different types of crystals in use in the Third Age of Atlantis. Most crystals used by the public are tools, programmed to operate symbiotically with the Crystal Grid, and perform various functions such as summoners, record keepers and accessors. The Grid is run by obelisk towers known as resonant capacitors, also nicknamed nodes. Other large crystals in use are viewer-crystals or VC's; akin to modern day televisions. Also, the Temple Sect uses larger crystals for healing, including crystal-chambers that repair the human body through resonance. Hover technology is made possible by torsion-crystals that are charged by operating on road mounds, though hover-tricksters began using them off-mound. This was the beginning of the Children of One movement (See Mound Laws). They have also begun to use soul-crystals, named so because their telluric souls are not bonded to the Grid. When bonded with, soul-crystals grant the user expanded abilities. The use of soul-crystals is currently outlawed in Atlantis. Only the Temple Sect is allowed to use them to harness their telluric soul into the Grid and transform them into tools.
Cunning, the: Referring to a path of discipline spoken of in the Sacred Cantos of Belial. The Cunning of Belial is used by the Conclaves. It is a path of trickery and shapeshifting, meant to keep the soul in alignment with the shifting patterns of nature and the Telluric Realm.
Cycles: Atlantean units of time. Days are measured in sun cycles. Months are measured in moon cycles. Years are called rotations. The cycles are recorded by Time Keepers from the Temple Sect. Every commons area in the cities features a calendar that is changed each day and each hour with the spinning of multiple dials. It is much like the Mayan calendar.
D
Dabrina: Atlantean stringed instrument characterized by spidery limbs that can be adjusted for tuning. It produces an ethereal chorus effect with natural harmonies on twelve sets of strings, said to be connected to the twelve layers of Dreamtime, as well as the twelve levels of human connection to Source.
Dance of the Elementa: (See Grid Dancers) The dreamclan term for Grid dancing. A specialized dance allowing the dancer to communicate with and channel elementals into their movements.
Destructions of Atlantis: There were three ages of Atlantis marked by three major destructions. The first age was ended by a massive fracture in the crust of the Atlantean continent. It happened after the Great Crystal was used to end the great war between Lemuria and the Bloodfire Nations. When turned to a conduit of destruction, the Great Crystal was termed The Fire Crystal, and caused inconceivable levels of destruction through time and space. The Watchers intervened and took the Grid offline while the area underwent massive upheaval. The ice age began at this time. Atlantis was given another chance and the second age achieved great heights and is still remembered as the Golden Age. The second destruction was caused by an experiment gone awry by Aryan scientists, (See Ten Kingdoms) which caused a rip in Dreamtime. This was the arrival of shadows, but most are not aware of this fact. The Atlantic sea floor became destabilized by the experiment, and Atlantis was fractured into islands. The third age began with a new royal dynasty, and a cloistered Temple Sect that guarded the knowledge of Nexes very closely. The great scientific achievements of the previous age have been lost to memory, and this has begun the steady devolution of Atlantean consciousness.
Districts: Neighborhoods within Atlantean cities. Each district has its own set of officials: mediators who oversee law and order within larger regions, speakers who administrate the affairs of the district, and commercians who collect influence tallies from local merchants.
DNA: Nucleic acid containing genetic instructions of all living organisms.
Downloader-Crystal: Crystals programmed to collect energy imprints or information from the nodes of the Grid. They are used by the Temple Sect to collect data. But the Children of One have learned to download information from the Archives Nexes. Some can also use the nodes to unlock information stored in a downloader.
Dragon League: Discipline of the Warrior Sect mastering psychic warfare.
Dragon’s Breath: The act of inhaling the smoke of red filaments from the flower of a tree that grows wild in the islands of Atlantis. It has calming qualities on the mind. It is used to dull symptoms of the madness, but its prolonged use has addictive qualities, as well as other unsavory side effects.
Dragons: Referring to dinosaurs that once ruled the planet. They went through mass extinctions in the past, mostly caused by humans. In the time of the third age, there are still dragons in the wilds, though some are kept as pets. They are still hunted by humans and considered a threat that must be eliminated.
Dragonspine: A mountainous basalt island situated between Og and Atlas. This is where sha’mana is processed and shipped to fulfill its various uses throughout the kingdoms. The main authority is the Shanel mediator line that lives in their family estate, a palace at the center of their main port citadel called Urnok. Since sha’mana is so valuable, the sea lanes around Dragonspine are heavily patrolled and regulated. The port is not open to random travelers. Because it is a closed port, it relies on supplies from outside kingdoms. All ten kingdoms send tribute to Dragonspine as an offering for processed sha’mana. As a result, the Shanel mediator line is one of the most influentially wealthy families in Atlantis.
Dreamclans: Tribes who live at the edge of Dreamtime in nature, keeping the ways of ancient Lemuria. They are connected and named for the six Realms of Sophaiya, practice the discipline of ascension into Dreamtime, and maintain a bond with the Watchers. Nephilim blood runs in their lineage, and thus they maintain separation from the humans of the Meridian Realm, so they are not tempted to establish dominance over the human project. They have a special relationship with the kingdoms of Atlantis because they helped Belial bring Nexes from the motherland (Lemuria). It was written in Atlantean law that the royal line has to pair with Dreamclans every six generations so that they can renew their connection with nature, and not be corrupted by the pitfalls of civilization. In modern lore they are akin with the Sidhe of Ireland.
Dreambody: The projected image of any human when they travel in dreamtime. As humans become immersed in the density of physical existence, they lose consciousness of their dreambody, though when they are asleep and dreaming, this is the form they exist in. Those trained in the dreamseer arts are able to transfer their consciousness to their dreambody and walk around displaced from their physical body.
Dreamlight: Light existing in Dreamtime that can be manipulated with human thought. Once a dreamseer becomes aware of how to do this, they can affect entire areas if they become adept at the skill.
Dreamseer: A spiritual adept who studies the intricacies of Dreamtime, and connection to their dreambody. Dreamseers travel in their dreams and communicate with the Watchers. In the Temple Sect their order wears the indigo robes. In the dreamclans they are the central leader of the clan.
Dreamship: They appear as any other ship, but the entire vessel can phase through the layers of Dreamtime. This requires a very high level of magic. Most dreamships travel into the Dreamvale, but more advanced ships can travel the skyroads in Celestius. The crew must gain favor with the Watchers and the elements in order to gain passage into the higher realms.
Dreamsight: The ability to shift one's vision to perceive the invisible world existing alongside the Meridian Realm.
Dreamtime: Subtle layers of reality existing beyond the Meridian Realm. This is how non-physicality is understood among humans in the incarnation cycle. In actuality, the layers of Dreamtime refer to having a connection to the other bodies of the human auric field which are anchored in the other 11 dimensions. Everyone travels there in their sleep, and dreamseers connect to it consciously.
Dreamvale: Threshold between Dreamtime and Meridian. The place where one goes in a visionary state, or right before falling asleep, or while lucid dreaming. Vale is derived from the word valley; of and pertaining to an ethereal valley that is the entrance to Dreamtime. This is the home of the Dreamclans.
Dreamwalker: Someone with the ability to project their full consciousness into their dreambody and walk through Dreamtime while being aware of the Meridian Realm. Their physical body remains dormant in meditation while their dreambody projects anywhere they wish to go, invisible to the naked eye unless the perceiver opens up to Dreamsight. Akin to astral projection. A highly advanced Dreamwalker can raise their physical body’s vibration and move through lower Dreamtime, making their body invisible to the naked eye.
Dryad: Tree elemental.
E
Earthforge: Term used to describe the molten center of Sophaiya wherein lies the realm of Incendius.
Elementa: Dreamclan term for a practitioner versed in the ability to channel elementals through their dance movements.
Elementalists: A discipline in the Temple Sect adept at communication with the Telluric (elemental) Realm. They study every aspect of the elemental kingdom and spend their lives in communication with it. Some are able to gain favor and ask the elements to do their bidding. Elementalists in the Temple Sect wear green robes. They run the aspect of the Grid that controls the weather, and the shipping lanes. There are also rogue elementalists who have sprung up within the Children of One.
Elixir Den: A cultural mainstay in Atlantis. Where there are revelries, elixir dens are also set up. However, social houses feature permanent locations for these dens. Mixologists become almost famous with their mixtures of vibrational, telluric and plant elixirs that are known to affect any mood or ailment a human can have. One has merely to communicate their mood to a mixologist, and they should be able to fish through their mixes for the correct dose of what is needed.
Eternal Flames: Sacred fires within the 12 temples of the Temple Sect that are always tended. It is said they have been burning since the beginning of Atlantis. They are ancient doorways to the wisdom of Incendius, which is the realm at the center of the planet.
F
Fale Fruit: Fruit grown in the kingdom of Benini known to create a state of euphoria. Considered a delicacy in other parts of Atlantis but is difficult to procure in the other kingdoms.
Fates, the: Atlanteans consider the Fates a personification of time elementals. Akin to telluric currents, they are seen as conscious, and able to be communicated with.
Fendesia: An herb known for its aphrodisiac and ecstatic properties.
Fireball: A game of physical prowess made famous by the Warrior Sect. Giant arenas are built for fireball players. The object of the game is to pass a ball between the players while leaping and tumbling through an obstacle course as the ball gradually heats up and eventually catches fire. They build up points by tossing the fireball through goals, which is blocked by the opposing team.
Fire Crystal: In extreme circumstances the Great Crystal can be turned into a weapon to harness the rays of the sun. It can be focused at any point in the world. When the fire code was activated at the end of the First Age of Atlantis, the crystal turned red, thus giving its name. It shoots a laser into the planetary grid, which then ricochets to any point on the planet. It was used in the First Age of Atlantis to put an end to the war between the three Bloodfire Nations and Lemuria. It caused so much damage that it unleashed the volcanic activity in the Atlantic Ocean and destabilized the region. Since then the fire codes have been hidden in the Archives Nexes and forbidden.
Fire Letters: Light symbol codes used in Keylontics. The letters are used to transfer images through the Crystal Grid, program tool crystals, and download information into human blood cells.
Flowcraft: Ancient, all-terrain vehicles from the Golden Age of Atlantis. Programmed with Keylontics to harmonize the craft with tellurics, magnetics and the power of the Crystal Grid. These small, one-to-two-man vehicles can operate on air, land and above or beneath the sea.
Flower of Life: A geometric symbol representing the mathematical order of the intrinsic universe, and the separation of Source into multiple shards of consciousness.
Followers of the Axiom of One: A group of spiritualists who study the principles of all life being descended from one Source creator consciousness. They are what’s left of the original spiritual principle of Atlantis brought from Lemuria, and have over the years lost their popularity, and segregated into an underground movement. In the third age, the Followers of the Axiom have had a resurgence. The youth of Atlantis have adopted their ways in a rebellion against the Temple Sect. The Children of One are the result of this remembrance of the ancient ways.
Free-Marketeer: A marketeer who operates outside the ten kingdoms. Since they deal with other lands, they often stray outside Atlantean regulations. Most of the time they become akin to modern day pirates.
G
Gateways of Initiation: (See Inner Initiation) A term in the conclaves referring to the activation of the 12 inner gateways connecting humans to their Source code. The gateways correspond to the 12 chakras, the 12 dreambodies, and the 12 layers of Dreamtime. Once activated fully, it is said humans are able to achieve their highest attainment.
Generator-Crystal: A crystal that can work with the Grid to generate power. All Atlantean housing has its own generator that is connected to the local resonant-capacitor.
Glow Orbs: Orbs of various colored glass filled with a chemical similar to what lights up fireflies. Used for light on the streets, in houses or private gardens.
Golden Age of Atlantis: (See Destructions of Atlantis) The Second Age of Atlantis is known as their golden age. This was when Atlantis was at its height, operating with the highest knowledge and connection with Sophaiya and the star nations.
Great Central Sun: Galactic core of the multiverse. All universes orbit around the Great Central Sun, just as planetary bodies orbit around suns. Said to be the eye of Source.
Great Crystal: (See Crystal Grid) The free energy source of all power within the ten kingdoms. Housed in the temple of light at the heart of Poseidia, and regulated by the Temple Sect. Its chamber is kept pure, and no one may enter unless they have achieved the proper frequency through years of meditation.
Great Solidification: A time in history which demarked when humans became separated from Dreamtime. Before then, beings on Sophaiya were ethereal, and could shapeshift into any form. When Sophaiya became open for universal citizens to inhabit, the influx of beings caused a great pain on the ethereal residents of the planet. In order to make room for all spiritual frequencies, Sophaiya shifted her density, and everyone inhabiting the planet was solidified into physical bodies. This was the birth of the Meridian Realm; the moment when the physical became separated from Dreamtime.
Grid, the: (See Crystal Grid)
Grid Dancers: (See Dance of the Elementa) Individuals adept at channeling energy through their bodies and shaping it through movement. Akin to sorcery. Temple Sect Grid dancers, adepts of the yellow robed Grid-tuners, officiate over illumination rituals by directing the mindlight donations of citizens into the resonant capacitors. Grid dancers have begun to pop up within the conclaves of the Children of One. This has allowed them to covertly shift the flow of energy through the Grid.
Grid-Tuners: Temple priests whose life work involves the tuning of the Crystal Grid. In the Temple Sect, their order is denoted by yellow robes.
Guardians: In the Temple Sect, Grid Guardians are priestly adepts within the order of Grid-tuners who oversee the resonance of the capacitors. Guardians in the Warrior Sect have the job of making sure the laws are upheld in every district of the cities. They were given policing powers by King Koraxx during the sixth reign of the Third Age of Atlantis. This was the first time in the third age that warriors were lifted from their mercenary leagues and commanded by the king.
Guilds: Associations of individuals in trades within the ten kingdoms. Once a citizen emerges from the Learning Sect, she or he becomes a member in good standing of a guild. Guild members can connect with others in their trade, network with commercians, who look to the guilds for business connections, be represented by speakers who specialize in their trade, and report to the mediator if they have issues that need to be solved. Other citizens approach guilds to find tradesmen or craftsmen in a specific field. Raising one's standing with the guild brings more prestigious jobs.
H
Halls of Amen’ti: A vortex situated at the center of Sophaiya where physical souls are initiated into higher cosmic learning. It is said to be the brain center of Sophaiya herself. It lies past a network of cities in Subterra known as Agartha. There are 12 Subterran layers through which to pass to find the Halls. They represent the concept that all anyone needs to know lies at the core of our own cells, just as they make their home at the core of Sophaiya.
Harbor District: Area filled with marinas for permanent and temporary docking.
Hereditary Sect: A sect that only breeds within itself. Mediators and the Temple Sect are the only ones with these arranged births. The other sects are entered through training or registration, and considered non-hereditary sects.
Hermes: Watcher of travel, communication and higher learning.
High Council: Also called Council of Seven. Primarily a local ruling council appointed by elite members of their sect. There is a Council of Seven in every kingdom, but the one in Poseidia is called the High Council. It is formed by seven delegates representing the seven sects. Each council member politically represents every citizen who is registered in their sect. Some sects are more numerous, so that delegate has more power on the council. They are overseen by the high king and queen, while they also have the ability to unanimously overrule any royal decree.
High Priestess: Overseer of the entire Temple Sect.
Hover-Carriage: Carriages run by hover technology. They operate by a central torsion-crystal which is charged by the road mounds and controlled psychically by the operator through imprinter-panels. Typically only used by elite classes as transportation along the road mounds. Larger carriages are used to tow hover sleds for the use of cargo transport.
Hover-Disc: One of the main modes of personal transportation in Atlantis. The central disc is built around a torsion-crystal. When activated, two wings fan out from the center, and become footholds. Users bond with them by accessing a small imprinter-panel. The more it is used, the more the operator bonds chemically with the disc. Upon activation, the disc is tossed to the ground where it hovers a few inches above the surface. The user stands upright on the footholds and thoughts projected through the crystal direct the journey.
Hover Trickster: Referring to a fad created by the youth of Atlantis to operate their discs off the road mounds and do radical stunts. Hover tricksters were banned by King Koraxx, and many young people when caught after the laws were passed, were forced to part with their hover-discs. Since torsion-crystals are programmed to be charged by the road mounds, it is seen as miraculous that tricksters even exist. Conclaves of the Children of One see the original tricksters as the first to have shown signs of the special genetics they possess.
Human Experiment (Project): Referring to the experiment to create a master race of beings on Sophaiya who are meant to be the perfect vessel for the soul in physical form for this universe. Humans were seeded with DNA from many Star Nations and are meant to exist at their optimal design. The experiment was interrupted by the Age of Fire and Blood. However, the Star Nations have not interfered due to the laws of free-will in the universe, though they have placed the Watchers on the planet to oversee the project.
Hyperborea: One of the three Bloodfire Nations ruled by sorcerer kings during the Age of Fire and Blood. Along with Thule and Sauros, they waged war with Lemuria, and caused great havoc on the planet. The elements rose up against their black magic, and a sudden polar shift froze their cities under layers of ice. The legend is Hyperborea still exists perfectly intact beneath glaciers in the North.
I
Icelands: The general term for the glaciers of the north and south. An ice age is upon the planet during the third age, therefore at least 1/3 of the planet is covered in icecaps. The icelands are said to be inhabited by terrifying monsters, among which is the ice giants, known as descendants of the Nephilim.
Illuminati: Caste of scholars who act as the liaisons between humans and the crystal cities located along the skyroads of the Celestius Realm.
Illumination Rituals: A mandatory practice across Atlantis three times a day. The Crystal Grid generates power to the cities and villas and is fed by telepathic energy projected into resonant capacitors called nodes. The nodes are ten-foot-tall solid crystal obelisks placed through the city in evenly spaced vortex points. The Temple Sect activates their resonance each day at sunrise, high noon and sunset. The citizens are called to illumination rituals by the nodesong. Slang for the rituals is mudras. (See Mudras).
Illuminator-Crystal: Crystals programmed to emanate light when activated. Akin to flashlights.
Imprinter Panel: Crystal panels built into every automated device in Atlantis. Operators must place their hand over the panel and wait for the crystals to create a lock on their bio-rhythms. Once the lock is made, the operator can telepathically operate the device.
Incendius: One of the six Realms of Sophaiya. The fire domain where fire beings dwell. This surrounds and protects the heart of the planet known as the Halls of Amen-ti. Often mistaken for Hell.
Influence Tallies: Currency in the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. Commerce is measured by the trading of influence. When an exchange is made, the tallies are recorded in recorder-crystals usually worn strapped to a palm. At the end of the day, the tallies are downloaded to commercians within the merchant guild, who are able to trade points between merchants and patrons who wish to collect influence.
Inner Initiation: A term among the conclaves referring to the activation of gateways that must be unlocked within the human psyche. Once they are awakened with the blue dream elixir, the Children of One must then undergo the 12 gateways of inner initiation by accessing their personal gate codes from the Crystal Grid with their soul-crystal.
J
Joining Ceremony: Atlantean marriage. The ritual is performed in the temple centers by priests. It involves shifting the frequency of the sacred courtyard into Dreamtime, where the silver and gold discs of union hover above the couple. The clergy causes the discs to spin, and the couple telepathically wills the discs to merge. Once the discs form into one circle, the couple is bonded in Dreamtime, and their genetics are paired for mating.
K
Ka-Ma-Sha: Last day of the Ka-Ma-Sharri festival. Symbolic of the parting of Belial and Kama after their short reunion. There is a traditional feast on this day, in which all Atlanteans join in celebration of their union with friends and family.
Ka-Ma-Sharri: Three-day festival celebrating the union of Belial and Kama. Kama being represented by the moon, and Belial by the sun, the festival is centered around any eclipse of the sun or moon. There are numerous Ka-Ma-Sharri's throughout the year. It is said to be the most exalted time to perform joining ceremonies.
Kallista: Meaning “most beautiful.” The term used for those in Atlantis whose beauty holds them in a place of mystique and awe. Those of this beauty who are not born to noble bloodlines can be trained as kallistas, whose job it is to seduce and cater to the nobility in the sensual arts. They are adept in the tantras.
Kama: The soulmate of Belial who has chosen to incarnate in human form and act as the guardian of the Archives Nexes until humans are ready to ascend to their highest attainment. It is said that if humans begin to abuse the power given to them in Atlantis, Kama will return and have the ability to take over the Grid.
Keylontics: Language of symbol codes, light, sound, pulsation and vibration of energy. Based on the intrinsic interior geometric-electric structures that create the foundations for all form and structure within the dimensional systems. Keylontics is represented by living codes of matter and all biologies built on them that serve as the structure upon which all manifestations are built.
Keymaster: (See Agartha, Subterra) There are 12 layers of Subterra, (six leading to the cities of Agartha, and six leading past that to the Halls of Amen’ti). The six layers beneath Atlantis are governed by Atlantean keymasters. The layers past that are governed by the laws of Agartha. Keymasters are much like modern day mayors. Each layer extends deeper into the crust of Sophaiya and must be passed by accessing the keymaster and their subordinates. The citizens of Subterra are surface dwellers, and yet they make their homes below the surface because they are dedicated to moving closer to the Halls of Amen’ti. Those spiritual seekers who dedicate their lives to accessing Amen’ti through Subterra are called Luminari.
Khemet: The kingdom of Egypt, as it is called during the ages of Atlantis. Located in the Valley of Khem, it is part of the network of kingdoms that make their home along the great River Stix. The kingdoms are collectively called the Osirian Nations.
L
Layers of Dreamtime: Referring to the 12 dimensions accessible from Sophaiya. All humans have the ability to ascend through the layers to reconnect with Source. All have a connection to the layers through their chakras, auric fields (dreambodies), and inner gateways.
Layers of Subterra: Referring to the levels below the surface of the planet. Each layer is closer to the earth forge, the molten core of Sophaiya, which is where one finds the Halls of Amen’ti past Agartha. This is another method of connecting with Source besides ascending through the Layers of Dreamtime.
League-Master/Mistress: In the Warrior Sect, one who is appointed leader of each of the nine warrior leagues.
Learning Sect: Sect of Atlantean citizens who are registered as learning a trade, skill or knowledge among the learners. Unless a citizen is born into a hereditary sect, which means they must study what they are born to do, they can choose a skill to learn. As children, they are sent to learning houses, where they live among the Learning Sect so they can choose their training. Once they choose, they move to the school of their choice provided they pass the entrance requirements.
Lemuria: The motherland of Atlantis. Atlantis was one of the eight main colonies of Lemuria. The motherland was destroyed by global cataclysms spawned by the improper use of magic, which set the elements into a state of imbalance. The first nation on Sophaiya, Lemuria was once peaceful, ruled by spiritual principles until it was set into combat by the three nations of Hyperborea, Thule and Sauros. Before they were destroyed, they sent their archives to Atlantis to carry on the secrets of the human project.
Locator-Crystal: Tool crystals used to locate a specific person by searching for their imprint in the Grid. The person it is being set to locate must program their psychic imprint into the crystal by concentrating. Once imprinted, the locator can be used by anyone to find that person until it is reprogrammed. Summoner-crystals can be used as locators as well. Summoners can be used in conjunction with locators if the person holding the summoner is linked to a locator held by another person.
Lost Temple Children: (See Children of One, Conclaves) A project initiated secretly by the Temple Sect at the start of the Third Age of Atlantis. It is a genetic sequence meant to evolve over a series of seven generations. Their original purpose was to build an immunity to the shadows that were trapped in the Meridian Realm after the second destruction of Atlantis. The Temple Sect have called them Project Indigo.
Lower Dreamtime: The layer of Dreamtime closest to the physical world where emotional and mental images created by humans exist as ethereal life forms. Those with advanced Dreamseer abilities can see into this realm, as well as shift the vibration of their physical bodies to walk in this world.
Luminari: Caste of scholars who live in Subterra and study the principles of the 12 levels of connection to Source. They are initiates to the 12 levels of Subterra, and liaisons between the inner and upper world.
Glossary of Atlantean Terms
​
​
A
Accessor-Crystal: Crystals programmed as keys so people can gain access to doors or devices such as hover craft. They are worn as bracelets or rings.
Agartha: A network of cities within the hollow sphere of Sophaiya, referred to as the Realm of Subterra. They lie deep in massive hollow caverns and are lit by phosphorescent moss which grows aplenty. Beneath Atlantis are six layers of Subterra leading to Agartha. These layers are home to a class of Atlantean priestly scholars called the Luminari. These are the gatekeepers between Atlantis and Agartha. The cities of Agartha are home to a race of subterran humans ascended to a higher frequency who are the protectors of the passage to the Halls of Amen’ti.
Age of Fire and Ice: Referred to as the time when the three fire kingdoms, Sauros, Hyperborea, and Thule waged war on Lemuria. It was the first war on Sophaiya. Nephilim, sorcerers and magicians conquered the innocent masses, forcing them into slavery, and nature was set off balance by the widespread use of magic. Volcanoes and earthquakes changed the face of the planet. The poles shifted and set the planet into an ice age. Atlantis rose at the latter half of the Age of Fire and Ice.
Alta: Highest ranking priests of the Temple Sect. They wear white robes to set them apart from lower tiers of the clergy. The 12 orders of the temple are ruled by the Alta. They are the keepers of temple rules and higher decision making. The Alta are ruled by a council called The Twelve, who are the highest-ranking members of each temple order.
Ambassador Sect: One of the seven sects of Atlantean government. Atlanteans who travel abroad are registered in this sect, and every visitor to any Atlantean city is expected to register in this sect when they enter any of the ten kingdoms.
Animata: Human-like beings without a soul created for menial and hard labor in Atlantis. The practice evolved in the second age of Atlantis, when scientists developed methods to remove the animal appendages from manator. Their science expanded into the creation of biological bodies who could be animated and powered solely by the Crystal Grid.
Antillia: One of the ten Atlantean kingdoms. It is known for its mediator training compounds, and its simple, spiritual way of life. They are known for their fishing practices, and it is said no kingdom in Atlantis can compare to their ability to prepare sea food.
Anunaki: The original team of scientists who came to Sophaiya to oversee the seeding of life forms on the planet. They were the first Watchers, and took the form of bi-pedal, feathered reptilian sauropods. It was their experiments that created the human vessel as it was known in Lemuria and Atlantis. Belial and his brother Sataku were among this team, but they split ways when Belial wanted to liberate the human experiment and allow them to develop on their own, while his brother wanted to be their overlord.
Aphrodisiacs: Elixirs made from herbs to create sexual arousal.
Aphrodite: Watcher of love and sensuality.
Apollo: Watcher of wisdom and prophecy.
Aquilar Project: A secretive sub-department of the Temple Sect under the geneticists of the iridescent order of healers. Their work involves infusing codes into DNA.
Archives Nexes: A bio-crystalline record of all human existence hard wired to the Crystal Grid. The Archives is the mechanism by which the Great Crystal functions. Without it, the Grid would function, and yet humans would not possess the ability to control it. It is highly protected by the Temple Sect and cannot be accessed unless citizens petition in the Temple Sect for whatever knowledge they wish to attain. The Conclaves have, however begun to figure out how to access the Archives through the Grid on their own.
Atlas: Son of Poseidon who became the original high king of Atlantis. All royal lineage is descended from him. The royal line is thus referred to as the line of Atlas.
Atlas, Kingdom of: The island kingdom known as the seat of government in the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. Poseidia, the ruling city where the high king and queen live, is the main city on the island. The rest of the kingdom is known for its abundant agriculture and is one of the busiest trade ports in the ten kingdoms.
Auric Field: The human body is surrounded by subtle bodies called an auric field, or aura. There are as many layers of the aura as there are layers of dreamtime (dimensions). This means every human has an auric body in each of the 12 layers, though they are not generally aware of this unless they practice awareness through activation of the mindlight.
Automatons: The proper term for what Atlanteans call animata that have been created for menial and hard labor.
Avatar: A human who has been chosen to embody the soul essence of a non-physical being such as a Watcher or an elemental. The Watcher piggy backs on the consciousness of the human, thus sharing one body. This is a means for the Watcher to experience physicality without being stuck in an incarnation.
Axiom of One: Said to be the highest of all truths, the Axiom has been passed down since the dawn of time. The Followers of One who practice it in Atlantis are said to practice the ancient ways of Lemuria. It is a simple principle that all life is interconnected.
​
Azoria: One of the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. A collection of islands in the central Atlantic. Known for its hospitality. The beautiful islands have many small bays with pristine villages of seafarers and fishermen. Because of their central location, there are many trade routes that pass through the main cities of Azoria. There is a bawdy quality to the people, who have wild, rowdy revelries, and dress in revealing clothes with tattoos and piercings. Because they place a high value on free will, they are known as a free trader refuge. Azorian authorities turn a blind eye on pop up settlements of outlaws within their many uninhabited islands as long as they refrain from harassing locals. As such, locals often end up aiding and sometimes joining free-trader colonies.
​
B
Bascli: One of the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. Bascli lies in Eastern Atlantis and boasts a rich and colorful culture. The port of its city of Tartessos is one of the busiest ports in the world, lying at the mouth of the Valley of Khem. It is the first port of call between the Atlantean sea lanes and the river economy of the Osirian Nations along the bustling River Stix (today the valley is the Mediterranean Ocean.) Bascli is the manufacturing center of Atlantis, as they have ready access to mines and forests in the Iberian mainland.
Belial: A trickster Watcher known as the guardian of knowledge and free will. He was in the first migration from Maldek (currently the asteroid belt) who came to Sophaiya to develop the human species. Along with his brother Sataku, he developed the human genome as it exists still to this day, however, he split from his brother, because he didn’t believe in using humans as slaves, and so started a movement to preserve their free will. He was a hero of the Lemurian Age and brought the Archives Nexes through Subterra to Atlantis. Originally mated to Kama, the two of them vowed to remain separated until they could fix the damage done to Sophaiya by their people. In modern times, Belial has come to mean “To waste one’s worth,” or “failure to have value.” His defection caused his people to redefine his name and accuse him of bringing pain and suffering to Sophaiya by bringing them truth and knowledge.
Belial’s Promised Land: Referring to the state of mind connected to Source consciousness past the limitations of physical understanding. See Halls of Amen’ti.
Black Diamond of Atlas: An ancient artifact given by the Watchers to be wielded by the royal bloodline of Atlas. It is said to be a dead star that has the ability to trap any soul within it.
Bloodfire Nations: The collective name of the fire alliance during the Age of Fire and Blood, who waged the first war on Sophaiya. They were eventually punished by the elements, who froze them in ice, beginning the ice age. The three kingdoms were Hyperborea, Thule and Sauros. They were ruled over by sorcerer kings with fear and slavery. The war with the Bloodfire Nations is what eventually caused the demise of Lemuria, and thus the rise of Atlantis.
Blood Triad: Ancient Nephilim (beings born from the mating of Watchers and humans) who practiced dark sorcery to gain power and dominion over humans. They ruled with fear and gained power through blood sacrifice. At the height of their power, they ruled over the Bloodfire Nations during the dark Age of Fire and Blood. The most powerful among them were the Triad, who ruled over Hyperborea, Thule and Sauros. They were defeated by the Atlantean fire crystal, which summoned elementals to freeze their nations under layers of glaciers. There they remained in stasis until they were freed in the third age. They exist as disembodied spirits that are otherwise known as demons.
Blue Dream Awakening: Referring to the activation of a new genetic sequence which has been designed to awaken during the generation of this chronicle.
Blue Dream Elixir: A forbidden elixir made from sha'mana and the psychedelic blue lily of Khemet. Used by the conclaves of the Children of One to awaken their genetic sequence. This process is called the blue dream awakening and is said to first activate the ability to see into blue Dreamtime, which is the first step toward activating the gateways of initiation. Only those who have been born with the upgraded genetics can be affected by the elixir.
Blue Dream Marker: When one sees into the blue dream, they are able to see the markers left by those who are adept at creating them. These are ribbons of blue energy made of emotional imprints, meant to lead awakened ones to various conclave meetings and revelries.
Blue Dreamtime: A frequency of Dreamtime vibrating in the blue spectrum. Said to be only seen by those who possess the proper genetic sequence, and who have gone through the awakening. Used by the conclaves of the Children of One to leave signs that could only be seen by those who have been awakened by the elixir. Those who have activated more gateways of initiation can dreamwalk in this frequency, and not be detected by anyone, even by dreamwalkers who have not gone through the awakening. It is said to be a gift from Belial, and perhaps the telluric world, but no one knows for certain.
Builder Sect: (see sects) Class of citizens in Atlantis who have taken a trade or profession. One does not have to be born into the sect, thus it is referred to as non-hereditary. Anyone in a profession that serves the function of the civilization is known as a builder, from carpenters to entertainers to farmers to kallistas. It is the largest sect of the seven.
C
Caduceus: A short staff intertwined by two serpents. Often a symbol of a messenger.
Cantos: The sacred cantos of Belial are the definitive cultural guide to Atlantean citizens. They are poetic verses describing the reason why Atlantis was created, and what role its citizens need to play. They do not define rules or spiritual disciplines, only values and social morays.
Capraria: One of the Eastern kingdoms of Atlantis, close to the Nubian continent. These are the best artisans in Atlantis with a strong culture of animal husbandry. Thus, the cloth from Capraria is bar none. Their shores are abundant and fertile. Though trade is abundant here, they have the least amount of ships, and so rely on traders from Yisra and Benini to export their wares. Their quality of life is exceptional, and their cuisine famous throughout the world. “Living like a Caprarian” is a common saying in Atlantis, as it means, you are comfortable and wanting of nothing.
Cartels: (see commercian) Groups within a trade guild who have formed an alliance to strengthen their hold on their area of discipline.
Cartel Docks: Docks within the urban areas of every Atlantean kingdom where traveling traders and merchants register to set up temporary shops and show their import items to locals.
Celestial Ridge: A point of high elevation set aside for celestial calculations. Every city has one. They are run by the Timekeepers of the Temple Sect and considered sacred ground. They are also the home of the master calendar for each city.
Celestius Realm: Referring to the realm of the skyroads in the atmosphere of Sophaiya. The kingdoms within Celestius are known as crystal cities and can be accessed through Dreamtime. The liaisons between Atlantis and Celestius are called Illuminati. Celestius is the first realm anyone enters when they wish to enter the incarnation cycle of Sophaiya, and it is where souls return when they leave their incarnations. It is often mistaken for heaven.
Chakras: Energy centers in the human body of which there are 12. Each chakra is associated with a gland in the human body, as well as one of the 12 auric bodies in each of the layers of Dreamtime. They regulate the flow of spiritual energy between the human endocrine system, the auric field around the body, and connection with the consciousness of the planet.
Children of One: (see conclaves/followers of one) Formal term for the conclaves who sprang up toward the last decade of Atlantis's third age. Called so because they received their initial information from the Axiom of One, an ancient survival of Lemurian beliefs that maintain the study of the principles of universal oneness.
Chosen Ones: A movement among the conclaves said to worship pain and death.
Chroniclers: Those charged with recording and re-telling the history and heroic tales of Atlantis.
Commercians: The trade of networking commerce. Commercians negotiate trade through the kingdoms and represent merchants and trade guild interests. Akin to modern day agents or managers. They also broker the trade of influence tallies, which is the currency of Atlantis. (See influence tallies).
Commons Areas: Farmers throughout the land give a portion of their crop to the commons, which is distributed in designated areas for any citizen to receive for free. The rest of the food is sold for influence tally or trade in numerous marketplaces, or shipped to other islands by marketeers. There are a limited amount of commons areas, thus many citizens trade with local dealers to avoid travel to the commons. Here they also feature a Viewer Crystal screen where citizens can watch broadcasts together. There are also chefs who prepare community meals.
Communication Methods: During the first two ages, long range communication was conducted telepathically through the Grid. In the third age, psychic awareness has diminished. All long-range communication is conducted through tool crystals. Crystal-transmitters, locators, summoners, and messengers are used for their various purposes. Viewer-crystals known as VC's are used to transmit information to masses through images and amplified sound. The conclaves have begun to unlock the ability to transmit psychically through the Grid, however. In the third age, this has begun to change the face of long-range communication.
Conclaves: (see Children of One) Referring to the secret regional groups of Atlanteans known as Children of One. They are an underground movement who have learned how to access the Archives Nexes through the Crystal Grid. In accessing ancient, forbidden knowledge, they have awakened innate powers. They first emerged during the renegade revelries when hover-tricksters began to operate off-mound. When King Koraxx implemented the hover mound laws, they began to gather in secret and practice their hover tricks. This eventually led to them discovering their genetic abilities, the blue dream awakening, and the gateways of inner initiation. Since their practices have been outlawed, conclaves operate in secret, even from one another, though they interact regularly by leaving blue dream markers which lead to their strongholds.
Council of Seven: (see High Council)
Council of Ten Kings: Royal council of regional kings. Atlantis was originally split up into ten kingdoms. Each kingdom was governed by descendants of Atlas’s original 12 children. Over the decades these kingdoms dwindled, and in the time of the third age, have been separated into islands after various natural disasters. Poseidia remains the ruling city of all Atlantis in which resides the high king and queen, who are the figureheads of all Atlantis. But the ten kingdoms have a vote in more complicated matters and have full authority over their own kingdom.
Crux: A point in time and space when fate lines converge to create a moment that could shape the future for good or ill.
Crystal Cities: Majestic ethereal cities along the Skyroads of Celestius. They exist in the higher layers of Dreamtime, and cannot be detected by the physical eye. It is said the crystal cities are ports of call for intergalactic travelers, and it is from these cities that a soul can decide to enter into the cycle of incarnation within the Meridian Realm. Once they leave their physical bodies, they return to the crystal cities and start again. The cities also act as anchor points for the planetary grid of light that encircles Sophaiya.
Crystal Council: Telluric beings representing the cosmic alliance who are inhabiting 12 crystal skulls. These skulls are situated in the temple of light at the heart of Atlantis where the Great Crystal emanates. They are the regulators and the protectors of the Crystal Grid.
Crystal Grid: A telepathic energy network connecting the people empathically. Anything that happens within the Grid is felt through the network. It also serves to power the cities by creating lights at night, activates the road mounds, and all machinery, running water, and all other automated systems. Essentially it creates an invisible dome over the ten kingdoms which controls the weather, and all currents within Atlantis. It is run by the Great Crystal, a powerful source of free energy. It is powered by crystal obelisk nodes placed at specific vortex points.
The Grid works in chorus with natural telluric lines on the planet’s surface, and human telepathic emanations. Temple centers are built around the crystal nodes, (also called resonant capacitors) where citizens assemble to participate in illumination rituals. The rituals consist of mudra meditations. The nodes gather the peoples’ telepathic projection, send it to a central capacitor node, which then balances and powers the Grid, or “illuminates” the city. The call to illumination rituals is marked by the grid resonance or nodesong; when the grid guardians activate the mechanism which causes the nodes to sing through the city. The Grid is centered on the Great Crystal in the heart of Poseidia and branches out across the ten kingdoms of Atlantis.
Crystal Magi: Those who practice magic with crystals.
Crystal-Magnifier: An adjustable crystal apparatus used to make items appear larger. Like a modern-day microscope.
Crystals: There are many different types of crystals in use in the third age of Atlantis. Most crystals used by the public are tools, programmed to operate symbiotically with the Crystal Grid, and perform various functions such as summmoners, record keepers and accessors. The Grid is run by obelisk towers known as resonant capacitors, nicknamed nodes. Other large crystals in use are viewer-crystals or VC's; akin to modern day televisions. Also, the Temple Sect uses larger crystals for healing, including crystal-chambers that repair the human body through resonance. Hover technology is made possible by torsion-crystals which are charged by operating on road mounds, though hover-tricksters began using them off-mound. This was the beginning of the Children of One movement (see Mound Laws). They have also begun to use soul-crystals, named so because their telluric souls are not bonded to the Grid. When bonded with, soul-crystals grant the user expanded abilities. The use of soul-crystals is currently outlawed in Atlantis. Only the Temple Sect are allowed to use them to harness their telluric soul into the Grid and transform them into tools.
Crystalsong: A resonance that emanates from the crystals. Can be triggered by the Grid Guardians in the nodes, or in a soul-crystal by using lips to create a buzzing resonance on the surface of the crystal. Once the buzzing reaches a certain pitch, it creates a song of its own.
Cunning, the: Referring to a path of discipline spoken of in the Sacred Cantos of Belial. The Cunning of Belial is used by the Conclaves. It is a path of trickery and shapeshifting, meant to keep the soul in alignment with the shifting patterns of nature and the Telluric Realm.
Cycles: Atlantean units of time. Days are measured in sun cycles. Months are measured in moon cycles. Years are called rotations. The cycles are recorded on master calendars by Timekeepers from the Temple Sect on the Celestial Ridge. Calendars in commons areas and homes are linked to this master calendar and changed each day and each hour with the spinning of multiple dials. It is much like the Mayan calendar.
​
D
Dabrina: Atlantean stringed instrument characterized by spidery limbs that could be adjusted for tuning. It produces an ethereal chorus effect with natural harmonies on 12 sets of strings, said to be connected to the 12 layers of Dreamtime, as well as the 12 levels of human connection to Source.
Dance of the Elementa: The dreamclan term for Grid dancing. A specialized dance allowing the dancer to communicate with and channel elementals into their movements.
Destructions of Atlantis: There were three ages of Atlantis marked by three major destructions. The first age was ended by a massive fracture in the crust of the Atlantean continent. It happened after the Great Crystal was used to end the great war between Lemuria and Hyperborea. When turned to a conduit of destruction, the Great Crystal was termed The Fire Crystal, and caused inconceivable levels of destruction through time and space. The Watchers intervened and took the Grid offline while the area underwent massive upheaval. The ice age began at this time. Atlantis was given another chance. The second destruction was caused by an experiment gone awry by Aryan scientists, (see ten kingdoms) which caused a rip in Dreamtime. This was the arrival of shadows, but most are not aware of this fact. The Atlantic sea floor became destabilized by the experiment, and Atlantis was fractured into islands. The third age began with a new royal dynasty, and a cloistered Temple Sect which guarded the knowledge of Nexes very closely. The great scientific achievements of the previous age have been lost to memory, and this has begun the steady devolution of Atlantean consciousness.
Districts: Neighborhoods within Atlantean cities. Each district has its own set of officials: Mediators who oversee law and order within larger regions, Speakers who administrate the affairs of the district, and Commercians who collect influence tallies from local merchants.
DNA: Nucleic acid containing genetic instructions of all living organisms.
Downloader-Crystal: Crystals programmed to collect energy imprints or information from the nodes of the Grid. They are used by the Temple Sect to collect data. But the Children of One have learned to download information from the Archives Nexes. Some can also use the nodes to unlock information stored in a downloader.
Dragon League: Discipline of the Warrior Sect teaching psychic warfare.
Dragon’s Breath: The act of inhaling the smoke of red filaments from the flower of a tree that grows wild in the islands of Atlantis. It has calming qualities on the mind. It is used to dull symptoms of the madness, but its prolonged use has addictive qualities, as well as other unsavory side effects.
Dragons: Referring to dinosaurs, who once ruled the planet. They went through mass extinctions in the past, mostly caused by humans. In the time of the third age, there are still dragons in the wilds, though some are kept as pets. They are still hunted by humans and considered a threat that must be eliminated.
Dragonspine: A mountainous basalt island situated between Og and Atlas. This is where sha’mana is processed and shipped to fulfill its various uses throughout the kingdoms. The main authority is the Shanel mediator line, who live in their family estate, a palace at the center of their main port citadel called Urnok. Since sha’mana is so valuable, the sea lanes around Dragonspine are heavily patrolled and regulated. The port is not open to random travelers. Because it is a closed port, it relies on supplies from outside kingdoms. All ten kingdoms send tribute to Dragonspine as an offering for processed sha’mana. As a result, the Shanel mediator line is one of the most influentially wealthy families in Atlantis.
Dreamclans: Tribes who live at the edge of Dreamtime in nature, keeping the ways of ancient Lemuria. They are connected and named for the six Realms of Sophaiya, practice the discipline of ascension into Dreamtime, and maintain a bond with the Watchers. They have a special relationship with the kingdoms of Atlantis because they helped Belial bring Nexes from the motherland (Lemuria). It was written in Atlantean law that the royal line has to pair with Dreamclans every six generations so that they can renew their connection with nature, and not be corrupted by the pitfalls of civilization. In modern lore they are akin with the Sidhe of Ireland.
Dreambody: The projected image of any human when they travel in dreamtime. As humans become immersed in the density of physical existence, they lose consciousness of their dreambody, though when they are asleep and dreaming, this is the form they exist in. Those trained in the dreamseer arts are able to transfer their consciousness to their dreambody and walk around displaced from their physical body.
Dreamlight: Light existing in Dreamtime that can be manipulated with human thought. Once a dreamseer becomes aware of how to do this, they can affect entire areas if they become adept at the skill.
Dreamseer: A spiritual adept who studies the intricacies of Dreamtime, and connection to their dreambody. Dreamseers travel in their dreams and communicate with the Watchers. In the Temple Sect their order wears the indigo robes. In the dreamclans they are the central leader of the clan.
Dreamship: These are ships that appear as any other ship, but the entire vessel can phase through the layers of Dreamtime. This requires a very high level of magic. Most dreamships travel into the Dreamvale, but more advanced ships can travel the skyroads in Celestius. The crew must gain favor with the Watchers and the elements in order to gain passage into the higher realms.
​
Dreamsight: The ability to shift one's vision to perceive the invisible world existing alongside the Meridian Realm.
Dreamtime: Subtle layers of reality existing beyond the Meridian Realm. This is how non-physicality is understood among humans in the incarnation cycle. In actuality, the layers of Dreamtime refer to having a connection to the other bodies of the human auric field which are anchored in the other 11 dimensions. Everyone travels there in their sleep, and dreamseers connect to it consciously.
Dreamvale: Threshold between Dreamtime and Meridian. Where one goes in a visionary state, or right before falling asleep, or while lucid dreaming. Vale is derived from the word valley; of and pertaining to an ethereal valley which is the entrance to Dreamtime. This is the home of the Dreamclans.
Dreamwalker: Someone with the ability to project their full consciousness into their dreambody and walk through Dreamtime while being aware of the Meridian Realm. Their physical body remains dormant in meditation while their dreambody projects anywhere they wish to go, invisible to the naked eye unless the perceiver opens up to Dreamsight. Akin to astral projection. A highly advanced Dreamwalker can raise their physical body’s vibration and move through lower Dreamtime, making their body invisible to the naked eye.
Dryad: Tree elemental.
E
Earthforge: Term used to describe the molten center of Sophaiya wherein lies the realm of Incendius.
Elementa: Dreamclan term for a practitioner versed in the ability to channel elementals through their dance movements.
Elementalists: A discipline in the Temple Sect adept at communication with the Telluric (elemental) Realm. They study every aspect of the elemental kingdom and spend their lives in communication with it. Some are able to gain favor and ask the elements to do their bidding. Elementalists in the Temple Sect wear green robes. They run the aspect of the Grid which controls the weather, and the shipping lanes. There are also rogue elementalists who have sprung up within the Children of One.
Elixir Den: A cultural mainstay in Atlantis. Where there are revelries, there are also elixir dens set up. However, social houses feature permanent locations for these dens. Mixologists become almost famous with their mixtures of vibrational, telluric and plant elixirs that are known to affect any mood or ailment a human can have. One has merely to communicate their mood to a mixologist, and they should be able to fish through their mixes for the correct dose of what is needed.
Emergents: Students graduating from the learning of a skill or trade within the Learning Sect. It refers to a rite of passage called the emergence ceremony, where they symbolically emerge into the sect of their training as a full-fledged citizen of Atlantis.

Fendesia: An herb known for its aphrodisiac and ecstatic properties.
Fireball: A game of physical prowess made famous by the Warrior Sect. Giant arenas are built for fireball players. The object of the game is to pass a ball of fire between the players while leaping and tumbling through an obstacle course as the ball gradually heats up and eventually catches fire. They build up points by tossing the fireball through goals, which is blocked by the opposing team. The teams consist of 18 players, two from each of the nine warrior leagues. The roles on the team are runners, guards, hunters, flyers, minders and phoenix.
Fire Crystal: In extreme circumstances the Great Crystal can be turned into a weapon to harness the rays of the sun. It can be focused at any point in the world. When the fire code was activated at the end of the first age of Atlantis, the crystal turned red. It shoots a laser into the planetary grid, which then ricochets to any point on the planet. It was used in the First Age of Atlantis to put an end to the war between the three fire kingdoms and Lemuria. It caused so much damage that it unleashed the volcanic activity in the Atlantic ocean and destabilized the region. Since then the fire codes have been hidden in the Archives Nexes and forbidden.
Fire Letters: Light symbol codes used in Keylontics. The letters are used to transfer images through the Crystal Grid, program tool crystals, and download information into human blood cells.
Fire Nations: The collective name of the fire alliance during the Age of Fire and Ice, who waged the first war on Sophaiya. They were eventually punished by the elements, who froze them in ice, beginning the ice age. The three kingdoms were Hyperborea, Thule and Sauros. They were ruled over by Nephilim sorcerer kings with fear and slavery. The war with the fire nations is what eventually caused the demise of Lemuria, and thus the rise of Atlantis.
Fire Triad: See Triad or Nephilim. Ancient Nephilim rulers of the ancient fire nations who waged war on Lemuria. They ruled humanity through sorcery, fear and slavery.
Firstmeal: Referring to breakfast.

Flower of Life: A geometric symbol representing the mathematical order of the intrinsic universe, and the separation of Source into multiple shards of consciousness.
Followers of One: A group of spiritualists who study the principles of all life being descended from one Source creator consciousness, called the Axiom of One. They are what’s left of the original spiritual principle of Atlantis brought from Lemuria, and have over the years lost their popularity, and segregated into an underground movement. In the third age, the Followers of One have had a resurgence. The youth of Atlantis have adopted their ways in a rebellion against the Temple Sect. The Children of One are the result of this remembrance of the ancient ways.
Free-Marketeer (Free-Trader): A marketeer who operates outside the ten kingdoms. Since they deal with other lands, they often stray outside Atlantean regulations. Those who set up operations within the ten kingdoms, and choose to not operate within the strict laws, they become akin to modern day pirates.

Great Joining, the: (see also Telluric Treaty) A sacred ceremony wherein the heir to the high throne of Atlantis must be joined to a mate who is genetically approved by the elementals of the Crystal Grid. The king is joined to the land through his bloodline while the queen is joined to the spirit of Sophaiya, who is the mother of the land. Their joining is a symbolic union of the spirit of the land and the spirit of the planet.
Great Solidification: A time in history which demarked when humans became separated from Dreamtime. Before then, beings on Sophaiya were ethereal, and could shapeshift into any form. When Sophaiya became open for universal citizens to inhabit, the influx of beings caused a great pain on the ethereal residents of the planet. In order to make room for all spiritual frequencies, Sophaiya shifted her density, and everyone inhabiting the planet was solidified into physical bodies. This was the birth of the Meridian Realm; the moment when the physical became separated from Dreamtime.
Grid, the: (see Crystal Grid)
Grid Dancers: Individuals adept at channeling energy through their bodies and shaping it through movement. Akin to sorcery. Temple Sect Grid dancers, adepts of the yellow robed Grid-tuners, officiate over illumination rituals by directing the mindlight donations of citizens into the resonant capacitors (nodes).

They were given policing powers by King Koraxx during the sixth reign of the Third Age of Atlantis. This was the first time in the third age that warriors were lifted from their mercenary leagues and commanded by the king.
Guilds: Associations of individuals in trades within the ten kingdoms. Once a citizen emerges from the Learning Sect, she or he becomes a member in good standing of a guild. Guild members can connect with others in their trade, network with commercians, who look to the guilds for business connections, be represented by speakers who specialize in their trade, and report to the mediator if they have issues that need to be solved. Other citizens approach guilds to find tradesmen or craftsmen in a specific field. Raising one's standing with the guild brings more prestigious jobs.
​

Hades: Watcher whose domain is Subterra and Incendius, basically the realms beneath the surface of Sophaiya.
Halls of Amen’ti: A vortex situated at the center of Sophaiya where physical souls are initiated into higher cosmic learning. It is said to be the brain center of Sophaiya herself. It lies past a network of cities in Subterra. The nation within the depths of Subterra is called Agartha. There are 12 subterran layers through which to pass to find the Halls. They represent the concept that all anyone needs to know lies at the core of our own cells, just as they make their home at the core of Sophaiya.
Harbor District: Area in the city of Poseidia filled with marinas for permanent and temporary docking.
Heiros Gamos: The unification of two Watchers (gods) whose union represents healing of the planet Sophaiya.

High Council: Also called Council of Seven. Primarily a local ruling council appointed by elite members of their sect. There is a Council of Seven in every kingdom, but the one in Poseidia is called the High Council. It is formed by seven delegates representing the seven sects. Each council member politically represents every citizen who is registered in their sect. Some sects are more numerous, so that delegate has more power on the council. They are overseen by the high king and queen, while they also have the ability to unanimously overrule any royal decree.
High Priestess: Overseer of the entire Temple Sect.
Hive, the: Levels of box seating around the fireball arena where mediators and other important families view the games.
Hollowing: The process where a human soul in a body makes way for a Watcher to inhabit the physical body in its place. Once the soul reaches its point of despair, the body is ripe for the soul to be replaced with the soul of the Watcher. This only applies to a soul who is unwilling. It is the point when their mental state becomes intolerable (with the madness or other such means) to make them give up their body willingly. Once that happens the soul can be pushed aside and a Watcher can take its place.
Hover-Carriage: Carriages run by hover technology. They operate by a central torsion-crystal which is charged by the road mounds and controlled psychically by the operator through imprinter-panels. Typically, only used by elite classes as transportation along the road mounds. Larger carriages are used to tow hover sleds for the use of cargo transport.
Hover-Disc: One of the main modes of personal transportation in Atlantis. The central disc is built around a torsion-crystal. When activated, two wings fan out from the center, and become footholds. Users bond with them by accessing a small imprinter-panel. The more it is used, the more the operator bonds chemically with the disc. Upon activation, the disc is tossed to the ground where it hovers a few inches above the surface. The user stands upright on the footholds and thoughts direct the journey.
Hover Trickster: Referring to a fad created by the youth of Atlantis to operate their discs off the road mounds and do radical stunts. Hover tricksters were banned by King Koraxx, and many young people when caught after the laws were passed, were forced to part with their hover-discs. Since torsion-crystals are programmed to be charged by the road mounds, it is seen as miraculous that tricksters even exist. Conclaves of the Children of One see the original tricksters as the first to have shown signs of the special genetics they possess.
Hu: A spiritual tone that connects those who speak or chant it to their other subtle bodies of light within the 12 layers of Dreamtime
Human Project: Referring to the experiment to create a master race of beings on Sophaiya who are meant to be the perfect vessel for the soul in physical form for this universe. Humans were seeded with DNA from many star nations and are meant to exist at their optimal design. The experiment was interrupted by the Age of Fire and Ice, however, but the star nations have not interfered due to the laws of free will in the universe, though they have placed the Watchers on the planet to oversee the project.
Hyperborea: One of the three fire kingdoms ruled by sorcerer kings during the Age of Fire and Ice. Along with Thule and Sauros, they waged war with Lemuria, and caused great havoc on the planet. The elements rose up against their black magic, and a sudden polar shift froze their cities under layers of ice. The legend is Hyperborea still exists perfectly intact beneath glaciers in the North.
i
Icelands: The general term for the glaciers of the north and south. An ice age is upon the planet during the third age, therefore at least 1/3 of the planet is covered in icecaps.

The crystalline Grid generates power to the cities and villas, and is fed by telepathic energy projected into resonant capacitors called nodes. The nodes are ten-foot-tall solid crystal obelisks, and are placed through the city in evenly spaced vortex points. The Temple Sect activates their resonance each day at sunrise, high noon and sunset. The citizens are called to illumination rituals by the nodesong. Slang for the rituals is mudras (see mudras).
Illuminator-Crystal: Crystals programmed to emanate light when activated. Akin to flashlights.
Imprinter Panel: Crystal panels built into every automated device in Atlantis. Operators must place their hand over the panel and wait for the crystals to create a lock on their bio-rhythms. Once the lock is made, the operator can telepathically operate the device.
Incendius: One of the six Realms of Sophaiya. The fire domain where fire beings dwell. This surrounds and protects the heart of the planet known as the Halls of Amen-ti. Often mistaken for Hell.
Influence Tallies: Currency in the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. Commerce is measured by the trading of influence. When an exchange is made, the tallies are recorded in recorder-crystals usually worn strapped to a palm. At the end of the day, the tallies are downloaded to commercians within the merchant guild, who are able to trade points between merchants and patrons who wish to collect influence.
​
Inner Initiation: A term among the conclaves referring to the activation of gateways that must be unlocked within the human psyche. Once they are awakened with the blue dream elixir, the Children of One must then undergo the 12 gateways of inner initiation by accessing their personal gate codes from the Crystal Grid with their soul-crystal.

j
Joining Ceremony: Atlantean marriage. The ritual is performed in the temple centers by priests. It involves shifting the frequency of the sacred courtyard into Dreamtime, where the silver and gold discs of union hover above the couple.

Keylontics: Language of symbol codes, light, sound, pulsation and vibration of energy. Based on the intrinsic interior geometric- electric structures that create the foundations for all form and structure within the dimensional systems. Keylontics is represented by living codes of matter and all biologies built on them which serve as the structure upon which all manifestations are built.
Keymaster: (see Subterra). There are 12 layers of Subterra, (six leading to the cities of Agartha, and six leading past that to the Halls of Amen’ti). The six layers beneath Atlantis are governed by Atlantean keymasters. The layers past that are governed by the laws of Agartha. Keymasters are much like modern day mayors. Each layer extends deeper into the crust of Sophaiya, and must be passed by accessing the keymaster and their subordinates. The citizens of Subterra are surface dwellers, and yet they make their homes below the surface because they are dedicated to moving closer to the Halls of Amen’ti. Those spiritual seekers who dedicate their lives to accessing Amen’ti through Subterra are called Luminari.
Keystones: An Atlantean building method of holding two larger stones together with a metal “key” that fits in a divot created by the builder.
Khemet: The kingdom of Egypt, as it is called during the ages of Atlantis. Located in the Valley of Khem, it is part of the network of kingdoms who make their home along the great River Stix (current day Mediterranean). The kingdoms are collectively called the Osirian Nations.
L
Layers of Dreamtime: Referring to the 12 dimensions accessible from Sophaiya. All humans have the ability to ascend through the layers to reconnect with Source. All have a connection to the layers through their chakras, auric fields (dreambodies), and inner gateways.
Layers of Subterra: Referring to the levels below the surface of the planet. Each layer is closer to the earth forge, the molten core of Sophaiya, which is where one finds the Halls of Amen’ti past Agartha. This is another method of connecting with Source besides ascending through the Layers of Dreamtime.
League-Master/Mistress: In the Warrior Sect, one who is appointed leader of each of the nine warrior leagues.
Learning Sect: Sect of Atlantean citizens who are registered as learning a trade, skill or knowledge among the learners. Unless a citizen is born into a hereditary sect, which means they must study what they are born to do, they can choose a skill to learn. As children, they are sent to learning houses, where they live among the Learning Sect so they can choose their training. Once they choose, they move to the school of their choice provided they pass the entrance requirements.
Lemuria: The motherland of Atlantis. Atlantis was one of the eight main colonies of Lemuria. The motherland was destroyed by global cataclysms spawned by the improper use of magic, which set the elements into a state of imbalance. The first nation on Sophaiya, Lemuria was once peaceful, ruled by spiritual principles until it was set into combat by the three kingdoms of Hyperborea, Thule and Sauros. Before they were destroyed, they sent their archives to Atlantis to carry on the secrets of the human project.
Lemurian Empires: The motherland of Lemuria had eight colonies which later grew into empires. Listed here they are Atlantis, Rama (India), Mu (Australia), Aroi Sun Kingdom (Islands in the Pacific), Han (China), Uiger (Tibet), Maya (South America), Osirian Nations (Within the valley now known as the Mediterranean, and Northern Nubia).
Locator-Crystal: Tool crystals used to locate a specific person by searching for their imprint in the Grid. The person it is being set to locate must program their psychic imprint into the crystal by concentrating. Once imprinted, the locator can be used by anyone to find that person until it is reprogrammed with another signature. Summoner-crystals can be used as locators as well. Summoners can be used in conjunction with locators if the person holding the summoner is linked to a locator held by another person.
Lost Temple Children: (see Project Indigo)

It is seen as a madness because the human host slips deeper and deeper into their anguish until they cannot distinguish reality from their suffering.
Magi: A caste of mystics who study the use of magic. In the final age of Atlantis, they are the only non-hereditary spiritual class that can wield magical powers. Those who study magic outside the Temple Sect are considered scholars in the Learning Sect. In the Temple Sect, their order is denoted by red robes.

Manator: Half man half animal. Left over from before the Great Solidification. The story of their origin went back to the garden of Pangaea, when all the continents were one mass, and life on Sophaiya existed in Dreamtime. Humans then had the ability to shapeshift at will. When the Solidification happened, anyone who chose to keep their animal forms remained part human and part animal. In the Second Age of Atlantis, the Followers of One declared an edict that manator were abominations, and began programs to strip people of their animal sides. In the Third Age, manator are rare, and almost mythical, as they have found refuge in lower Dreamtime.
Mandala: A sacred pattern connected at power points forming a sacred symbol. A tool used to help magnify meditation.
Marketeer: A specialist in the markets who works with currency alone.

Free-marketeers work outside the ten kingdoms of Atlantis while marketeers work within its strict laws.
Mars: Planet whose orbit lies just past Sophaiya. Called the fourth planet. Mars was once home to a thriving civilization, but its surface was destroyed, and all civilization moved beneath the surface. Though some refugees fled to Sophaiya and took up residence in Atlantis mainly in the kingdom of Aryan.
Maya: A conglomeration of mountain kingdoms on the continent that is now South America. One of the eight Lemurian empires. They participate in trade with Mu, who maintain landing ports for their flying vimana. With access to ample mineral mining, they have labor and trade agreements with the southern Atlantean kingdoms, Benini and Taino.
Maydrian: Title given to the personal adviser of the king. Maydrians have the responsibility of organizing all the personal affairs of the monarch. This position is appointed by the king, and approved by the High Council.
Maydriss: Same as Maydrian, except the queen's personal advisor. Maydriss's also handle the queen's pregnancies, wardrobe, and all personal matters.
Mediation: Otherwise known as an argument. A formal gathering before a mediator to settle a dispute between two parties. Usually held before the mediator of whatever field the argument falls under. For instance, if the disagreement is over custody of a child, the mediator of childrens’ affairs overhears the dispute. Each mediator is trained in the expertise of their subject, allowing for the highest measure of wisdom. The mediation is performed by a speaker attained from the speaker District. Every citizen has the ability to engage a speaker who is registered with their trade guild, their official registered sect, or their sect of origin.
Mediator Assembly: When important matters affecting the kingdom need to be weighed, the Mediator Assembly is called. This is when every available mediator assembles in the mediation arena.

Moirae: A Watcher who has fully entered an incarnation as a human. They are usually born with no memories, just like humans, and will manifest memories and powers eventually. (See Neters and Avatars)
Mound Laws: During the reign of King Koraxx, hover tricksters began operating their hover-discs off of the road mounds. This was never before thought possible because discs are charged by the road mounds. But somehow tricksters had the ability to get past this. The conclaves now see it as the first appearance of the gene that has awakened in humanity. Koraxx restricted hover-disc usage to the mound, citing the reason that tricksters are reckless, and compromised the safety of citizens. But a deeper reason became apparent when his guardian forces began hunting down renegade revelries, where the youth practiced their tricks away from the public. Those who were caught were banned from hovering. This was the beginning of the conclaves, who took their practices into strict secrecy.
Mu, Kingdom of: One of the eight Lemurian Empires, and in fact one of the oldest. Mu was originally a colony nearby Lemuria in what is modern day Australia. Because of their proximity to the motherland, they were highly involved in the wars with the fire nations. They have retained most of Lemurian technology, including vimana, and highly advanced weaponry. They have become a force to be feared, though they maintain a strict code of ethics. The government is run by a council of women, a stringent matriarchy. While men are respected, they are not seen as equal to women. Everyone is educated in Mu, and the empire is fabulously prosperous. They maintain trade routes and have created a worldwide diplomatic police force known as the Mu Rangers. The island of Amazons among the Atlantean islands of Yisra is a Mu embassy. This is where they keep their base of ops in the ten kingdoms of Atlantis.
Mudras: Hand gestures used during meditation to maximize the flow of energy through the hands. Illumination rituals are called mudras as a slang term which refers to the hand gestures they use to channel their mindlight into the crystal nodes and generate power through the cities.
Muladara-Ana-Ajna: A hand gesture touching the three most important chakra centers. The rootlight, the heartlight and the mindlight. It is a blessing to a friend, often made when the friend is in distress. It means: May I be a bridge to the light of the soul.

Navigators are trained in the art of communicating with the elements and are able to read the currents and wind patterns, as well as connect with the telluric lines within the ocean. All ships must have a temple navigator. When they register a voyage, they must attain a navigator from whatever port their journey begins. Once the voyage is finished, the navigator must go to the temple center at the destination. A new navigator is usually obtained at the start of another voyage.
Naydir: External advisor to the court of a king or queen. Acts as liaison between the monarch and the public. Appointed by the monarch with final approval by the High Council.
Nephilim: (see Telluric Nephilim) An ancient race of beings on the planet said to be a cross between a Watcher and a human. The union is often made when a Watcher takes the form of a human for the mating. These beings are said to possess godly powers. The most powerful kind are said to be telluric, meaning they are a cross between a Watcher and an elemental. Since Nephilim had such immense power when they were first on the planet, they became worshipped and feared. The star nations declared Nephilim abominations, and had thus banished them from the human project. Watchers are now forbidden to interfere with the genetics of humanity. In history they have been called Titans, referring to a mythical race of powerful beings who were cast into the underworld (in this case, the penumbra of Subterra) by the gods (Watchers). After the war between Lemuria and the Fire Nations, Nephilim were blamed and have been forbidden physical form. They exist in the Layers of dreamtime and are seen today as demons.
Nereids: Mermaid creatures living in the depths of the ocean. They are part fish and human, unlike their Oceanid cousins, and considered manator to Atlanteans. They are very shy, and rarely show themselves to land dwellers, but they live harmoniously among the Oceanus Realm.
Neter: A human body carrying the soul of a Watcher. Whereas a Moirae enters from birth, the Neter requires a human to achieve a state of emptiness so their body is surrendered to be inhabited by the Watcher. This can be done by force, which takes the longest, or can be done in chorus with the human choosing to surrender their body to the Watcher. (See also Moirae and Avantar).
Nexes: (see Archives Nexes)
Nexes Lockdown Protocol: The Crystal Grid is the most powerful technology on the planet. It is hard wired into the telluric lines of the planet, and thus maintains a symbiotic exchange of life force with the spirit of Sophaiya. If it falls into the wrong hands, the prime directive is to shut it down and separate it from the planet, because its destruction or corruption would thus affect the world. The lockdown protocol is a series of locks triggered by any unauthorized access to its technology. Thus, if anyone tries to tap into the Archives Nexes, the mechanism which operates the Grid, it will trigger a lock. This will proceed in a series until the Nexes is locked down, rendering the Grid inoperable. It is somewhat like a reboot. Once its final lock is triggered, only the right key can activate the Grid again. The High Priest or Priestess in each generation is charged with programming and protecting the key.
Nodes: Slang for resonant capacitors. Called nodes because the crystal obelisks serve as vortex points for the Grid. Citizenry focus their minds into the nodes during illumination rituals to send power to the Great Crystal.
Nodesong: Referring to the resonance created by the nodes to call citizens to illumination rituals. This is a pleasing frequency which oscillates through the cities. Usually programmed to vibrate at 440hz.
Nodeyard: Courtyards built around crystal nodes where citizens gather to perform illumination rituals during the resonance of nodesong.
Nubia: The great continent lying to the Southeast of the Atlantean Islands (modern day Africa). It is filled with lush grasslands and rivers. The people inhabiting Nubia are black of skin and said to be the most ancient race on the planet with a history greater than Lemuria. The land is populated by a confederation of tribes in various states of alliance. There are a number of outposts and cities on the continent, all of them wealthy with vast resources. Sha’mana is mined in abundance there, which allows for global influence among the Lemurian Empires.
Nymphs: Spirits who dwell in the dreamtime and work to protect the Telluric Realm. They are associated with various elements and locations around Sophaiya, and possess the power to animate nature.
O
Obelisk: Crystal tower or pillar with four sides, topped by a pyramidal point. The shape of crystal nodes.

Examples are the central torsion crystal which takes mindlight and sends it to the Great Crystal. It is one of the main components of hover-craft technology. All crafts are built around a central torsion-crystal. When activated on the road mounds, they interact with telluric currents to charge, and provide friction. Conclaves first began to realize their innate powers when hover-tricksters realized they could project their energy through torsion-crystals, and harness telluric currents off the road mounds.
