The Amulet of Atlantis - an item said to be the most powerful, as well as the most valuable, of its kind. As the legend goes, the Amulet is said to have been the main source of power within the lost city; being able to grant the wishes of its possessor. According to the legend, the Amulet was found by a group of five men in ancient times. The five men hadn’t a clue what powers the Amulet possessed, only aiming to sell the item for a high price and split the profit equally. The group discovered the Amulet’s power one evening while fiddling around with it on their ship. One of the men who had been holding on to the Amulet had wished aloud for the stormy skies and sea to calm. Upon the man’s words, the Amulet let out a glow that shot into the dark sky; clearing the rain clouds and calming the strong tides. The men looked up at the skies and down at the sea in disbelief. In realization that it had been the Amulet which ultimately granted their friend’s wish, two of the men decided to snatch the Amulet for their own personal gain, while the remaining three decided it best to create a safe haven for those who wished to escape the cruelness of the world around them; a place where you could live in peace; a place where the Amulet would be kept safe. The five men fought over the Amulet, causing havoc by those who had it in their possession at the time. The battle lasted for hours out on sea before one of the three men who had good intentions go hold of it; using it to get the three of them somewhere safe.
The Amulet sent the three men to an uninhabited location. They took the opportunity to use the Amulet and create their city - a city they called Atlantis. Slowly, they began to save people from war and poverty by bringing them to their great city. The three men agreed to keep the Amulet locked away in the main building in the heart of the great city, keeping it under lock, key, and security to ensure it did not fall into the wrong hands. Many years passed in peace and harmony [but everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked *shot for joke*] until, one day, a mysterious man settled in the city. The man blended in well with the citizens of Atlantis and soon became a well known merchant. That was, until, one night. The well known merchant made his move a few months after his arrival in the city; assassinating the guards both inside and out of the main building in the heart of the city. He entered a room where the Amulet was said to have been kept, but was met by the three founders of Atlantis. The merchant revealed himself to be one of the two men that the founders had defeated so long ago, and the four men battled for the prize. The corrupt man easily overtook the three and broke into the vault holding the Amulet. With the Amulet, the man wished to be rid of the city of Atlantis, unknowingly causing its untimely destruction. The city was said to have been swept away by fierce waters, and buried deep beneath the ocean, killing the citizens and burying the treasure within.
Now, centuries later, it is the year 1702. Pirates, explorers, and rulers from all over the world are after the so called Amulet of Atlantis. Could the legend just be that - a legend? Or could the Amulet and the sunken city actually exist? Choose your side and decide your fate in The Amulet of Atlantis RPG!
