The Atlas is a map given at the start of the game to all players (press the map icon under the minimap on the top-right side of your screen). It shows all of Sacred Grove and Sunstone Valley, it also hints at where new, unreleased areas are. Players are able to use the Atlas to teleport to warpstones, minigames, combat areas, their friends, etc.

Trivia[]
- The Atlas were originally supposed to be the world map where it had all areas in early development. However, it was changed to be the minimap, with the five locations. Other seven locations never been developed, though they may be scrapped.
- The World Tree were also originally supposed to be located in the ocean between other locations. However, it had been located in Sanctuary. This idea may be scrapped.
- Sacred Grove is where the most of Free Realms took place, make it the first location where players start. The second location is Sunstone Valley where players explore.

- I’m sure I have more somewhere but here’s one of the earliest, made (I think?) by one of the senior designers in the first year, as a way to communicate the layout to the rest of the team. on Twitter
