Etlan Shiis was a Vodalian merfolk colony in the Voda Sea east of Aerona. The name means Freedom's Warmth in Vodalian. Atlantis is a corrupted pronunciation of the name used by the sea-faring Orvadian merchants they traded with. After the conquest by Empress Galina III, it became known as New Vodalia.

History

The lowly artisan caste of Vodalian had once been treated well within their society, but as Vodalia turned its eye towards imperial conquest, military and political skills became more important than sheer craftsmanship. Unappreciated and discriminated against, the artisan class sought and was granted the right to start a new colony that, by mutual agreement, would be located far away from the Imperial government that was oppressing them.

in 170 AR, Empress Galina III fled her crumbling Sarpadian Empire through a magic portal to Etlan Shiis, the only colony likely to have escaped the Homarids. By accident, she arrived there in 3307 AR, more than 3000 years in the future. She quickly took over power in the Founding of New Vodalia.[1]

In 4077 AR, a Lord of Atlantis visited Greensleeves while she was staying on the island of Lat-Nam. He told her he remembered the Sages of the College of Lat-Nam, which would make him more than 4000 years old. He brought Greensleves to a drowned piece of the former college, where she learned of the Stone Brain's origins.[2]
