The Atlas

The Atlas
The Atlas, as it's called by its inhabitants, is a parallel dimension from our dimension, (the 3rd dimension). It sits right beside the 3rd dimension acting as a sort of last stop before the next dimension. (The 4th dimension. Our dimension that holds the normal universe and Earth is obviously the 3rd dimension and contains 3d objects and inhabitants. 3d creatures cannot see 4d creatures, however, a vast majority of humans have the ability to see 4d creatures given they are in the right place. In the Atlas, these abilities come to light. Humans that have the ability to see 4d objects can now visibly, see. touch, smell, etc... any 4d object or creature. In the 4th dimension, it is impossible for a 3 dimensional object, same as its impossible for a 2d object to exist in our 3 dimensional world. However, The Atlas is still apart of the 3rd dimension, its just separate from our dimension. The Atlas is known in the book as a rogue dimension. These particular dimensions were never meant to exist as they tamper with the laws of physics, and basic dimensional rules.

The Atlas's Origin
It's unknown how it came to be, but characters from the book have speculated that before Atlas was founded, the most powerful magicians and scientists came together to warp spaces between two dimensions to create a parallel dimension that housed inhabitable worlds. There are a vast majority of creatures in the Atlas, mostly human, but a lot are monsters too, creatures of unknown origin. Almost every single creature in the Atlas can perform some sort of magic. Millennia ago, the battle between, the atlas govern and the rebellion took place, this was because the atlas govern was bringing in humans and 4d creatures, putting them into concentration camps, and forcing them to do dangerous jobs and harness their magic. Atlas was once a planet, but after the ferocious battle, and the governments use of a highly destructive weapon, Atlas crumpled, and was blown apart, killing millions. However, at the planets breaking point, the most powerful magicians in all of Atlas were able to salvage the broken pieces of the planet, and form large scale platforms that went on for miles and miles. They were able to keep, gravity, the flow of oxygen, and the atmosphere, along with the other laws of physics in tact, essentially making flat Earths. ''If one of you kids say I'm a flat earther I swear to god. ''

After The Battle
After Atlas's destruction and reformation, seven enormous platforms had been erected, and were placed far away one on top of the other. Each platform resembled that of what it once looked like before the planet exploded. The platforms were called precincts except the top and the bottom platform. The highest precinct was Atlas city, where the rich and most powerful people lived. What came next were the following precincts in descending order, Precinct 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The lower the precinct number, the poorer the economy and community. However, under Precinct 5, are The Ruins, a platform where all rubbish is discarded instead of burned or thrown out into space. People in higher Precincts would say that it's uninhabitable but, contrary to this, many people who don't have any money or shelter do reside within The Ruins.
