Alas, Atlantis...
Forty days.
Forty days and forty nights. That was how long the Great Storm lasted, how long the Gods thought we should suffer for our decadence, our blatant disrespect. When it was over, us survivors climbed from our hiding spots in caves, in houses in the mountains, on the tops of the great marble buildings of Atlantis, wherever one could find shelter from the winds and rains and the fury of the gods. What we looked out upon left us in utter shock. Our city, the city of the world's desire, famed for everything one could imagine and more, was destroyed completely. Great temples to the gods lay under water, their roofs barely visible from the surface. The Great Houses, in their stately white marble, housing both people and fortunes, buried up to their top floors with muck.
And here is where we stand, survivors of a disaster that wiped our city, our people, our way of life, out for eternity. But the gods are stated now, having ended the great Blasphemy that caused them to call down the torrents, and we Atlanteans still live, scattered out in the countryside or crammed in the last part of our great city. It is clear to all who were blessed to live that we must go on living, rebuild what once was, but better. The New Atlantis will not be founded this day, or the month after, or even this generation, but the foundations will be set now, and they must be strong, lest the Gods return to sweep us all away.
Welcome to Alas Atlantis, a roleplay about the resurrection of civilization after the flooding of Atlantis.
