History
The people of the kingdom of Xebel are a breakaway civilization of Atlanteans who traditionally harbor animosity towards the main kingdom of Atlantis
New Earth
Some eons after the fall of Atlantis, Xebel distanced itself to form its own undersea community, one that developed a warlike xenophobia towards their neighboring kingdom and the surface world. Xebel warred with Atlantis for centuries until they were eventually beaten and sentenced to life imprisonment within Dimension Aqua, located within the Bermuda Triangle.[2]
From then on, royalty within their hierarchy treated their long standing hatred of Atlanteans as the basis of their myths and the very reason of being of their race for generations to come.[3] Millennia after their confinement, the king of Xebel sent his daughter Mera out into the world in order to find and assassinate the future king, Orin of Atlantis.[4][5] Instead, Mera fell in love with him, becoming his queen and bride as he took the throne.[6]
With their initial plan having failed, the Xebelians enacted several more plans against the throne through proxies.[7]
