Location from Volume 8 by Rooster Teeth
Ironwood's fortress — the combined military-Huntsman academy that has become a command center for a general at war with everyone, friend and enemy alike.
Atlas Academy is no longer a school. It's a military command post, Ironwood's personal fortress, and the last line of defense between Salem and the Relic of Creation hidden in the vault below. Students have been mobilized as soldiers. The Ace Operatives follow orders that grow more disturbing by the hour. The white corridors that once buzzed with training exercises now echo with boot steps and radio chatter from a war that's going badly. The vault beneath the Academy holds the Relic of Creation — the staff that keeps Atlas floating. Only the Winter Maiden can access it, which is why Penny is the most important person in the kingdom and also the most dangerous, given the virus eating through her systems. Everything converges here: Ironwood's last stand, Cinder's ambition, Salem's patience, and the heroes' desperate plan to use the Relic to evacuate everyone before the city falls.
The Atlas military-academic complex repurposed as a war command center. White corridors patrolled by soldiers and robots, holographic displays tracking Grimm movements, automated security systems on full alert. The central command room is where Ironwood issues increasingly desperate orders. Below the campus lies the vault containing the Relic of Creation — the linchpin of Atlas's survival and the target of every faction in the conflict.
