Attilan was the city of the Inhuman kingdom led by Black Bolt.
History
Creation
A small civilization of Inhumans agreed that they could not live in peace alongside Humans and decided to leave Earth to colonize the Moon.[citation needed]
They built the city of Attilan within a protective dome that protected them from the effects of outer space while also keeping them hidden from Humans and the Kree.[citation needed]
Caste System
Due to the small size of the city and the growing number of Inhumans, the Royal Family agreed to introducing a strict caste system to ensure the city's long term survival. Those with powers that could potentially benefit the city were valued and given opportunities to better themselves within the society, while those with powers of little use to the city were forced into a form of forced labor by working the mines and doing the manual tasks to help keep the city sustainable for future Inhumans.
Black Bolt's Rule
After accidentally killing his own father, the genetic council publicly supported the transition of power to Black Bolt. Though reluctant to take the throne Black Bolt accepted as he was informed that his power alone could be the only weapon that could protect the people of the city from an ancient enemy.
As King Black Bolt seeked the immediate support of his cousins Karnak, Triton, and Gorgon who he declared members of his Royal Family alongside his brother Maximus would serve alongside him as the main governing body, followed by the support of the Genetic Council. When Black Bolt married Medusa she immediately became a member of the Royal Family and to honor her Black Bolt declared her sister a princess of Attilan.
Though Black Bolt's rule had been a peaceful one, the people of Attilan had grown tired of the caste system and the resources of the city were stretched to the point where many felt the King and Queen were doing little to boost morale amongst the population and had failed to successfully address the issues affecting the people.
Maximus' Revolution
Taken advantage of the people's concerns Prince Maximus began to seek support for himself to be crowned King in place of his brother. Maximus attempted to capture and imprison the rest of the royal family to force a transition of power to himself but they all escaped Attilan and fled to Earth.
Fearing their return Maximus attempted to send a squad of Inhumans to kill his family on Earth but they successfully defeated the attackers. During their absence Maximus declared himself King and used his influence over the royal guard to gain absolute control over the city. He promised his few supporters that he would lead an Inhuman army to Earth and through the combined strengths of the Inhumans they would successfully conquer Earth and use its fertile lands to rebuild a new Attilan that could sustain a larger Inhuman population without the need of an unfair caste system.
Black Bolt and the others eventually returned to Attilan and used their knowledge of the city to counter attack King Maximus. Maximus, fearing that he may lose the throne, compromises the dome protecting the city from the outside from the uncontrollable deep space environment. He planned to use the dome as a way to force his family to hand themselves in return for the dome to be restored to safe and secure levels.
Black Bolt successfully captured Maximus but the dome had been unstable for too long and Maximus was unable to disable it. As punishment Black Bolt imprisoned Maximus in Attilan's lowest and most secure bunker while the rest of the royal family tried to evacuate the people of Attilan.
Destruction
Attilan's protective dome eventually collapsed around Black Bolt. Fortunately, the royal family was able to arrange an evacuation to Earth to save the people of Attilan, with the help of the American space agency NASA. Black Bolt successfully follows the people of Attilan to Earth.
Attilan's destruction seemed to send a signal to outer space as the throne of the monarch within the city began to light up as if it was sending a beacon.
Reestablished on Earth
Now considering themselves refugees on Earth the people of Attilan turned to King Black Bolt and Queen Medusa for guidance on what to do as a society. With the help of NASA Medusa leads the Inhumans into building a new home, a new Attilan on Earth.
Trivia
- In the comics, Attilan was originally an island in the North Atlantic Ocean, that became home to the Inhumans. It had the ability to be moved and it was taken to locations such as the Himalayas, the Blue Area of the Moon, and even Hala before being destroyed by Black Bolt during his fight with Thanos as seen in the Infinity storyline. It was later reconstructed as New Attilan within New York.
Behind the Scenes
- Roel Reiné describes Attilan as "a caste system. When you have a good superpower you are at the top of the caste and if you have a bad superpower you are in the lower caste. This makes this world not really good.” [1]
