Attilan

PRE-INHUMAN ATTILAN

50,000 years ago, Attilan, the Island of the Gods, was a technologically advanced city, located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Phadion and Rhaya were exiled off the island for opposing Kadir, along with Tuk, heir of Attilan, possibly their son, and the first offspring of the Inhuman. Tuk lived among the mortals, and his genetic code passed down through generation, increasing the ordinary humans' susceptibility to mutation.

INHUMAN SETTLEMENT

About 7,000 years ago, or even since at least 10,000 BC (12,000 years ago), the speInhumans settled on Attilan, founded by their leader King Myran, developing their civilization. About 2,500 years ago , a floating city known as Aerie was built above Attilan as a new home for the winged Inhumans known as the Bird People. However, increased antagonism between the arrogant "people of the sky" and the "groundlings" soon led to the Winged Ones deciding to secede from Attilan. After hundreds of screams were heard coming from Aerie, King Nestor acknowledged their secession by having the sky-city cut free from the pylon that had anchored it above Attilan, allowing the winds to carry it far away.

20TH CENTYRY MOVED TO HIMALAYAS

With humanity's technological advancement, the Inhumans began to worry that their city might be found. After listening to scouting reports from Triton, who recommended the creation of a safer refuge where the Inhumans could remain forever hidden, Black Bolt agreed and set out in search of a suitable haven. Black Bolt examined multiple desolate areas but rejected them because they weren't sufficiently isolated. Then, while searching in the Arctic, Black Bolt encountered Ikaris who brought him to Olympia to meet other Eternal. Learning of Black Bolt's quest, Zuras offered the help of his people and together they found a suitable location in an isolated valley in the Himalayas range where the Eternals used their combined powers to excavate a great pit in which the foundation of a new city could be built. After returning to Attilan, Black Bolt authorized his council of engineers to prepare for the transference of their civilization via massive sky-arks. However, before the preparations were completed, an encounter with a little girl who was crying because she and her parents would have to leave their home inspired Black Bolt to adopt the much more ambitious plan of moving the entire city and the island upon which it rested. After many weeks of preparation, Attilan was successfully transported from the North Atlantic to the Himalayas where it was landed in that excavated pit.

MODERN AGE

Through the manipulations of Maximus, the mad brother of Black Bolt, the rest of the royal family was forced into exile. After living in exile for many years, and the Royal Family returned to the Great Refuge, and forced Maximus to relinquish the throne. In an insane attempt to strike back against humanity, Maximus activated a device called the Atmo-Gun. By reversing the Atmo-Gun's polarity, he generated a null barrier that completely surrounded the Great Refuge, cutting them off from the rest of humanity forever.

The Great Refuge (as it came to be known) came to the attention of world leaders after being discovered by the Fabulous Four. With the Inhumans growing ill from pollution caused by humanity, the city was moved again. This time to the Blue Area of the Moon. The royal family was once again put into exile years later, this time by the Genetics Council after the unlawful birth of Black Bolt and Medusa's son, Ahura. In a scheme involving Morgan le Fey and the Genetics Council, Attilan was shrunk down to bottle-size and transported back to Earth, where it expanded on the site of water-breathing Atlantis, recently raised to the surface. Black Bolt once again began to fear human involvement in their lives, and orchestrated an elaborate ruse to make it appear as if Attilan was destroyed when in fact it was teleported back into isolation in the Himalayas. Attilan was later stolen by Ronan the Accuser as property of the Alien: Kree Empire, and the Inhumans chose to remain in space for a time absent the royal family. Eventually, however, it was re-established on the Blue Area of the Moon, with permission of Uatu the Watcher.

INTO SPACE AND ABOVE HALA

Following Black Bolt's capture and an attack on Attilan by Alien: Skrull, a machine developed by Maximus was utilized to send Attilan into space, powered by Black Bolt's words. Once in space, the Inhumans destroyed numerous fleeing Skrull ships before arriving at Hala. There, an assault was launched, leading to Black Bolt being declared ruler of the Kree. Attilan then settled on Hala, hovering above the Kree capitol city. When Black Bolt learned the secret history of the Inhumans and the Supreme Intelligence's attempted genocide of their people, he and the Inhumans abandoned the Kree. Attilan was moved over New York City, and was destroyed during Mors' invasion on Earth in the search of his secret Inhuman-descendant son, when Black Bolt unleashed a powerful attack on the Mad Titan and destroyed his home in the process.

NEW ATTILAN

The ruins of Attilan were repurposed into a New Attilan, which was once again re-established on the Blue Area of the Moon.
