Aquaman: The Atlantis Chronicles―The Deluxe Edition #[nn]

In "Chapter Two: The Vanished Sun," civil unrest fractures the fragile peace of Poseidonis, driving Shalako and his followers through the city’s hidden tunnels to the ruins of Tritonis. There, wielding the forbidden power of the dark gods, he begins constructing a new, hardened dome beneath the sea—its purpose and consequences still unknown.

In "Chapter 3: Transfigurations" from *Aquaman: The Atlantis Chronicles—The Deluxe Edition*, Orin’s desperate experiment to become a water-breather ignites a chain reaction across Atlantis. As the city embraces his serum, the gift is extended to the Tritonians—only to bring a terrible curse from Shalako, whose wrath turns their legs to scales and leads to a violent reckoning.

In "Chapter 5: Full Scale War" from Aquaman: The Atlantis Chronicles—The Deluxe Edition, Kordax, the scaled son of Dardanus and Cora, returns to challenge Fiona, his half-sister and daughter of Cora and Bazil, for control of Poseidonis. With his striking blond hair and emerald scales, Kordax’s claim ignites a devastating conflict between the two cities, thrusting the kingdom into chaos.

In "Chapter 6: The Stuff of Legends," the escalating war beneath the sea reaches a fever pitch as Kordax commands the monstrous forces of the deep—until the tide turns violently when the water runs thick with blood. With chaos erupting, Poseidonians and Tritonians are forced to set aside their ancient divisions and stand together against the creatures they once feared.

In "Chapter 11: Birthrite" from *Aquaman: The Atlantis Chronicles—The Deluxe Edition*, the death of Uri, younger brother to King Trevis, ignites a chain of tragedy that reshapes Atlantis’s fate. When Queen Atlanna gives birth to a child with blond hair—born after a mysterious dream involving Atlan—Trevis abandons the infant and takes his own life, leaving the future of the kingdom in uncertain hands.
