"Atalanka was humanity's future. It was the crowning technological island-metropolis of the 24th Century."
Humanity repeated the ancient mistake: they over-mined tectonic energy and poisoned the global oceans. The seabed collapsed, and Atalanka plunged beneath the dark waves. Elaran escaped into deep time with humanity's crowning temporal device: The Refresher Orb.

Follow our real-time progress as we build the world of Atalanka and ancient Sri Lanka in Unity 6.
The Refresher Orb
Capable of turning back time on an entire planet to reverse tectonic fractures and ocean toxicity. Attuned to Elaran's biological Aura, allowing her to step through True Time.
The Zombie Dinosaurs
Atalanka's crashed reactor leaks radioactive chronal coolant. Ancient fossils and primeval raptors rise as fleshless, cyber-crystalline undead beasts with glowing violet eyes and explosive slag tumors.
The Ten Giants (Yodhas)
Ancient Sri Lanka's 20-foot-tall legendary warrior-titans (Dasa Maha Yodhayo). Masters of living stone, ironwood, and sacred mantras holding the line against the prehistoric zombie invasion at Ritigala.
⚔️ The Conflict: Why Do We Fight the Giants, and Why Do We Need Them?
🩸 Phase 1: Why We Must Fight Them First
- Mistaken Blame: When Elaran emerges from the rift with glowing tech and armor, the Giants believe she is an invading sorceress who brought the zombie-lizard curse.
- Necrotic Rot: The rift's purple mist clouds the minds of titans like Gotaimbara and Jayasena. Elaran must duel and stun them to purify the parasite.
- Ancient Trial of Strength: The Dasa Yodhas respect only warriors who can match their might. Elaran must prove herself before they share the island's secrets.
🤝 Phase 2: Why Elaran Needs Their Help
- Sacred Geography: Only the Giants know how to unlock the 4 Elemental shrines across Sri Lanka (Ritigala, Nil Diya Pokuna, Danigala, Ranmasu Uyana).
- Holding the Million-Strong Swarm: Elaran cannot stop endless waves of armored zombie dinosaurs alone while solving ancient puzzles.
- Brute Titan Power: The Giants' 20-foot stature and tree-uprooting strength form the unbreakable shield-wall that buys Elaran time to activate the Orb.
