Aten is the world you visit for the mood — frozen central peaks, a fallen high-tech city, and mountainsides carved with colossal statues, all under a custom combat soundtrack. Named for the old sun-disc, it’s a post-fall world that looks like nothing else on the cluster.
Beneath the surface lies an Aberration-style Underworld of three unique biodomes, and the Broodmother and Mega Ape already wait for challengers. It’s still being finished — and free to try — so you can wander the ruins before you ever commit.
WARNING: Underground in progress
Reverence underground is still being built and has many bugs. Terrain is meshy in places, and using Maeguana or any other allowed hover-flyer will likely get you ported to the surface in a random location or worst-case, stuck in the mesh. Go here at your own risk. If you run into any trouble related to unfinished maps, reach out to a server admin — we're happy to restore any lost tames or gear from server records. Reach an admin →

THE LEGEND OF ATEN
When the sun-disc fell, it did not go out — it sank, and the world built itself around the memory of its light. They named the place Aten, for the disc that once ruled the sky, and carved its face into the mountains so it would not be forgotten. Walk the ruins by day. By the Underworld’s glow, you’ll understand why they kept the name.

Start on a southern, western or south-east beach before pushing inland — the carved interior is beautiful but cold.
Taming
The Underworld biodomes hold the rarest creatures; up top, ocean clams give you pearls without deep-sea risk.
Resources
Farm ocean clams for black and silica pearls early — a safe, steady source while you find your feet.
Navigation
Scout the centre before you settle — lone Giganotosaurus roam near the middle of the map.
PvE Tips
Console install trouble? Install Reverence first, then re-add your other mods (the author’s own tip).
“When the music starts beneath the mountain, you don’t ask who is playing. You dance, or you leave.”
