RWBY: World of Remnant Season 3 Episode 3 - Atlas Episode Title:Atlas.Episode Description:Qrow voices a low opinion of most Atlas citizens. Both the youngest and arguably most successful kingdom, it was originally called Mantle and founded by settlers who, for unknown reasons, traveled to the northernmost continent, Solitas. The cold climate and large mountains protected settlers from Grimm - but only if they could adapt themselves, developing advanced technology faster than the rest of Remnant. The "Great War" gave Mantle another boost, as new forms of Dust application, weaponry, research and mining allowed it to expand. The territory around its combat school, Alsius, was used to build new facilities. After the "Great War", Alsius was renamed as Atlas and took in many war veterans, using New Dust technologies to enhance its grounds and secure surrounding areas. Eventually, the military, labs, research facilities and residential areas moved to Atlas as well. When the new city outgrew Mantle, the capital was moved there and the kingdom itself renamed as Atlas. Qrow remarks that while some people called it "a golden age of prosperity", the people left in Mantle felt it "the coldest winter they ever knew."
