[Feedback] Make Atlas Great Again (Finite Continental Endgame Mapping System)

Infinite Atlas is a bad design because a single, endless scrolling map leads to decision paralysis and feeling of no meaningful progression. A better design is a finite Atlas with continental structure that promotes exploration in a more structured, thematic, and meaningful way. Details below:

Atlas Continents
Atlas map interface now shows five very large continents. Progression is not linear; you can choose which continent to focus on. Each continent would have a separate progression system, with varying environments and biomes that are linked thematically, such as:

* Aethel Isles (forest, water, ancient civilizations, ruins)
* Vastiri Steppes (grasslands, desert, sand-swept cities)
* Lyra Wetlands (sunken Vaal metropolis, bog, swamp)
* Borean Tundra (arctic tundra, snowy mountain regions)
* Ashkaara Gorge (volcanic, molten lakes, sulphuric mines)

Each continent has several starting locations the player can choose from. From there, the player would explore through the continent up to defeating its Pinnacle Boss. All five continents in total would provide several hundred hours (approx. 300-500 hours) of mapping content.

Continental Pinnacle Bosses
Each continent concludes with a unique-themed Pinnacle Boss fight. Defeating this boss serves as a clear completion mark and allows travel to the next continent. Five Pinnacle Bosses in total.

Continental Passive Trees
Each continent has its own dedicated Passive Tree. Players earn points only by running maps within a specific continent, encouraging them to fully "master" a region's mechanics before moving on.

Continental Biome Manipulators
If you don't like a specific Biome, don't worry. Scattered around all continents are Biome Manipulators that use a new currency "Terraforming Orbs" that allow players to transform undesirable Biomes.
