Introduction to the continent of Atlas

The continent of Atlas is vast and rife with conflict. Its core of power is the Augustan Empire, an ancient kingdom ruled by humans and ruled by noble fiefdoms. The empire's territory is expansive, but imperial power is unprecedentedly weak due to an aging king and an unresolved succession issue. True power lies in the hands of eight hereditary marquises, who vie for control of their own territories, forming alliances and maneuvering between "royalistism," "neutrality," and "separatism," posing a severe challenge to the empire's unity.

Other intelligent races and civilizations on the continent are equally important: the Elven Empire in the west lives in seclusion in the Eversong Forest, guarding ancient magical secrets; the Dwarven Empire has established a magnificent underground kingdom beneath the Broken Blade Mountains, and its people are excellent craftsmen and miners; the Orc Empire in the Crimson Wasteland in the east worships strength and has been fighting against humans for thousands of years; the Swamp Kingdom in the Weeping Swamp in the southeast is mysterious and xenophobic, believing in the life force of corruption; the sea creatures of the Ocean Kingdom rule the endless deep blue; and the legendary giants, dragons and other ancient beings remain aloof, quietly observing the changes of the world.

Currently, the continent is on the eve of transformation. Within the Augustus Empire, the "magical steam engine" technological revolution initiated by Leon von Hohenzollern is challenging the traditional magical power system represented by Elisa Windsor. The clash between old and new forces, intertwined with imperial succession, noble intrigue, and racial grudges, is about to unleash a sweeping wave of destiny across this ancient land.

阿特拉斯大陆简介
阿特拉斯大陆，广袤而纷争不息。其权力核心为奥古斯都帝国，一个由人类主宰、贵族分封的古老国度。帝国疆域辽阔，但皇权正因年迈国王与悬而未决的继承问题而空前虚弱。真正的实力掌握在八大世袭侯爵手中，他们割据一方，在“保皇”、“中立”、“割据”间合纵连横，帝国统一面临严峻考验。

大陆其他智慧种族与文明同样举足轻重：西部的精灵帝国隐居永歌森林，守护着古老的魔法奥秘；矮人帝国于断刃山脉之下建立辉煌的地下王国，是卓越的工匠与矿工；东方血色荒原上的兽人帝国崇尚力量，与人类征战千年；东南哭泣沼泽中的沼泽之国诡秘排外，信奉腐败生机；海洋之国的诸海族统治无尽深蓝；而传说中的巨人、巨龙等远古存在，则超然物外，静观世事变迁。

当前，大陆正处于变革前夜。奥古斯都帝国内部，由利昂·冯·霍亨索伦引发的“魔导蒸汽机”技术革命，正挑战着以艾丽莎·温莎为代表的传统魔法力量体系。新旧力量的碰撞，交织着皇位继承、贵族权谋与种族恩怨，即将在这片古老的土地上掀起席卷一切的命运波澜。
