Shadows of Atlantis Part One: Awakening

Glossary of Atlantean Terms

 Glossary of Terms

Accessor-Crystal: Crystals programmed as keys so people can gain access to doors or devices such as hover craft. They are often worn as bracelets or rings.  

Agartha: A network of cities within the crust 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 Poseidia there 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 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. Sorcerers and magicians conquered the innocent masses, 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 temple sects are ruled by the Alta, 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 every visitor to Atlantean cities are 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.

Aphrodisiacs: Elixirs made from herbs to create sexual arousal.

Aphrodite: Watcher of love and sensuality.

Apollo: Watcher of wisdom and prophecy.

Archives Nexes: A 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.

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.
