Yeah. It in fact ,at this time being, is travelling to different worlds.

At least since they introduced these Eldritch entities at 3.1 and after (Elder and his kin).

Early maps ,3.0 before Elder, may be considered as dreams (thanks to Maligaro campaign quest, pre 3.0 environmental lore pieces) but it was quickly retconned soon after making the Atlas a battle ground ,in different worlds, which seems to be only a small part of a much bigger place/zone ("small island in a giant stone forest" to quote the Envoy).

The lore is very messy

I think I understand it now... This Atlas, these maps... they aren't so much worlds as they are like the performance stage in the Theopolis Amphitheatre. These worlds are merely disguises for what truly lies behind the curtain.
This place... this is the nexus of the Elder's worlds, the place from which all its hunting grounds are formed... We are close to the void from which it was birthed, yet my Father has chosen this as his home. Curious indeed. Hiding in plain sight perhaps? Though, what captain regularly frequents the bowels of his ship? Maybe the Elder rarely visits this place. It is busy, I suppose, hunting and feasting elsewhere in the maps...

Exile, I will ready my Father's memories. You go on ahead, scout this place, find my Father, but be wary of what horrors might lurk down here in the belly of this evil machine.

Agree. I would say considering this i would assume people have different interpretations what it really is.

Stil sane exile?

Still insane.

I played this game 8 years and cant you anything about lore.

All I know is: Kill shit get loot.

The map device comes with a tray that holds up to 5 "somethings". If that doesn't tell you what the Atlas probably really is, IDK what else to tell you.

Okay, because some of us here are bad at hints and sarcasm in text form, I'll tell you.

It could be one of those 5-cd stereos that swap discs except well, we have 6 disc drawers aren't we lucky? So now we get 6 hours of Kamil Orman-Janowski remixes of everything from the Beach Boys to the Beastie Boys.

If only you knew how long I've petitioned GGG to make these custom portals

[Removed by Support]

*Tidy Bowl Portal Effect. Never worry about guests leaving the seat up. Using the portal automatically puts the seat and lid down, and flushes you into the map. Classic White, Trendy Tan, and Institutional Stainless Steel for all commode-mode needs.

*Nether Portal Effect. Rectangular, swirly, purple, inviting. Relive your childhood adventures of going to hell and back. Pigmen not included.

*TARDIS Portal Effect. Our largest portal MTX ever made, but only on the inside. Step through for a wild ride across time. Our bright blue Police Box will stand out in the murk so you can find your way back safely and easily.

*Mimic Portal Effect. Unwanted leechers and trolls trying to abuse your map portals? This portal looks like your choice of any of your other owned MTX, but instead will dump the user into lab. Use a skin transfer to change it up, keep 'em guessing.
