<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Gone}}<br /> [[File:Atlas Meridian.png|right|Atlas and Meridian as they once appeared on the mini-map.]]<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Atlas and Meridian&#039;&#039;&#039; are the names of the two small lizard creatures that once surrounded the [[minimap|mini-map]] on the user [[interface]]{{CitePostbag |url=http://www.webcitation.org/6AZdbsWYC|issue=7 |letter=Letter 1 |title=May Mixup! |date=12:45, September 10, 2012 (UTC)|name=postbag }}. Their identities were revealed in an early issue of [[Postbag from the Hedge]]. Atlas and Meridian, according the Postbag, were offered the job with the promise of &quot;seeing the world&quot;. However, they soon discovered that this just meant holding the map for the player to see.<br /> <br /> Atlas and Meridian&#039;s names are both map-related terms. In geography, the [[wikipedia:Meridian (geography)|meridian]] is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It is also an astronomical term, referring to an imaginary circle in the celestial sphere. An atlas is a collection of maps, usually placed in a book. Also, in real-world Greek mythology, [[wikipedia:Atlas (mythology)|Atlas]] was a titan condemned to literally hold the sky on his shoulders, while in &#039;&#039;RuneScape&#039;&#039;, Atlas must, in a way, hold the world up.<br /> <br /> When the User Interface changes occurred, Atlas and Meridian no longer appeared on the user interface, and were instead replaced with a [[dragon]]. The addition of [[RuneScape High Detail]] would then replace the dragon with an icon that led to the [[World map]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> [[Category:Interface]]</div>
