Atlas county was a county within Cloudtopia, but it was the county farthest away from the city. Atlas was home to the largest crystal industry in the country, cementing the county as one of Cloudtopia’s wealthiest and making it the most advanced out of the four counties of Cloudtopia.

The Fullers were a well-known family in Atlas, with many branches and offshoots. They were one of the four main families who exercised considerable influence on matters of the county. Apart from Nathaniel Fuller and Laurel Fuller who worked and lived in the city, most of the Fullers remained in Atlas and worked for the family’s crystal business. In recent times, their business had even expanded to the neighbouring counties of Maersk and Troitz.

Many of the Fuller siblings did not do well academically back in school. They concentrated their efforts on building a crystal empire at home and eventually outshone their intellectual relatives. As the business grew, so did their bank accounts and their pride. Over time, they began to look down upon Nathaniel and Laurel.

As a result of this discord, the Fuller siblings rarely got together apart from annual family gatherings. Nathaniel figured it was better to steer clear of his siblings to avoid any unnecessary family drama. Even when Naomi got married, he did not invite his siblings from Atlas to the wedding, and neither did they bother to send their regards.
