Atlas Tuaylaai

Atlas Tuaylaai is the original architect of Alay Alaar. Before coming to Alaar not much is actually known about Atlas. His birthplace is well documented because of ancient tribal ruins that showcase Atlas's building skills from a young age. Hidden in the sands somewhere north of Lake Illariqocha (Ummarnu) lies the ruins of the Pre-Alaari tower, an attempt by Atlas to reach the heavens.

Biography
Atlas was born and raised by the Tuaylaai Alaari tribe. As the Tuaylaai tribe raised their children as a group not as individual couples/parents, Atlas never knew exactly who is parental figures were. He was simply raised in a collective with the other Tuaylaai children. At the age of 13 Tuaylaai children separate from the tribe and travel the world in search of architectural knowledge. At 6 years old Atlas began construction of the first Alaari Tower in an attempt to reach the heavens. According to tribal lore Atlas left the tribe at the mere age of 8 years old, after the collapse of the first Alaari Tower.

It is estimated that Atlas spent nearly 500 years away from home traveling and acquiring architectural knowledge from around the world. Eventually Atlas did eventually return to his tribal homeland just above lake Illariqocha but he was too late. By the time Atlas had arrived back at his old home his tribe had long since left. The great architecture of his home town now buried by the desert sands, but in it's place sat a sparkling little desert town by the name of Alaar.

After just 2 weeks spent in the town of Alaar, Atlas had made up his mind. To honor his tribe and the Alaari people from before he decided to make Alaar into a pillar of the world. One of the greatest and largest cities Rathnir has ever seen. He built the first Residential Tower to create an influx of new players by opening up housing in the new city. Although this didn't go exactly to plan and the tower was filled near immediately which sent Alaar into a housing crisis. After a short time of rebuilding the inner city the housing crisis was solved for a short while. Once the housing crisis was solved money became an issue. To open trade with the rest of the world the Alaari canal was dug to connect Alaar to the sea, thus granting Alaar the ability to trade livestock and other things via boat.

As Alaar steadily grew in population and build sizes they began receiving threats from a neighboring city. To prevent an attack Alaar needed walls. But to Atlas simply building walls would never be enough so he had an idea,  Plateaus . With the help of the other Alaari in Alaar, Atlas was able to complete 2 gargantuan plateaus on the western and eastern sides of Alaar. A large wall was built between the plateaus just north of the city. This wall is now the main entrance to the inner city of Alaar.

While the city of Alaar is only around 6% complete to Atlas, many other builders have come to visit and take inspiration from the great city of Alaar despite its incompletion. One day Atlas will finish the city. And it will stand alone from all other cities in the world. It will be a beacon to all builders and a glance at what is truly possible when you put your energy into something as grandiose as Alaar.

Linguistics
Atlas is the last known pure-Alaari in Rathnir, also making him the only native speaker of Alaari. Atlas has spent a long time attempting to translate Alaari to Traveler's Tongue. As his Alaari - Traveler's Tongue dictionary grew he realized that the new citizens of Alaar should be informed of the language of the land. This prompted Atlas the begin construction of the Alaari university (In Construction Still). However once the university is completed there will be classes for: Alaari Building/Alaari Lore/Alaari Language and Alaari Architecture (Yes there is a difference between building an architecture).
