According to ancient legend among humans, a continent or very large island which sank in a great cataclysm many tens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago. Wikipedia's entry on Atlantis gives a good overview of the story in its many, many versions.
In DW, S'reee and Ed tell Nita and Kit something of the story as the whale-wizards (and other early participants) know it. Ed describes a "large island" with millions of human inhabitants, which S'reee confirms "was drowned" as a result of the cataclysms following the failure of a previous celebration of the Song of the Twelve, some one hundred thirty thousand months, or ten thousand years, before the twentieth century.
