History

According to Atlantean legend, Tolan was the overlord of Atlantis prior to the Great Cataclysm, at a time where land covered the Earth and no large bodies of water existed. Tolan was allegedly an ancestor of the Atlantean Royal Family.

Tolan was a wise and beloved ruler. In his old age felt a bad omen for his people. This omen came true when Nagorbu developed a magnet that could repel human flesh in an effort to solidify the military might of Atlantis and allow them to attract and conquer planets, with the ultimate goal of ruling the universe. Tolan refused to use the weapon and ordered it to be dumped into the ocean, refusing to have Atlantis become a warmongering nation. A combination of the magnet and Nagorbu's war-hungry followers attempts to recover it caused a massive flood over the centuries, well after Tolan and Nagorbu died. A tidal wave caused by the digging and atomic disruption of the land (due to some of the means used by Nagorbu and his followers) which ultimately sank Atlantis.

Tolan's legend was passed down by the Atlanteans,[1] who sometimes invoked his name.[2]
