Overview
Sol is the capital of Solvarria and a fortified stronghold. It lies beyond the open desert border north of Ulzathir, past Lumenbury, the border city Archibald prepares for Zain's invasion.
Defenses
Sol is protected by shield generators and advanced defenses that Zain wants to adapt for Ulzathir. During the Ulzathir Invasion of Solvarria, the city's shields glow cosmic blue and gold and hold for months, forcing Ulzathir to target Redcliffe in order to drain Sol's essence reserves.
Recent History
Zain marches toward Sol after Solvarrian separatists approach him against their government and Solvarria's leaders demand answers for their losses in the Thalassai invasion. He expects the open border to lead directly to the capital. Resistance grows fierce once his army pushes beyond Lumenbury. He preserves Sol because he wants the country intact.
After Ulzathir takes Solvarria and installs Archibald as ruler, Thalassai launches the Thalassai conquest of Solvarria. Thalassai can take Sol within hours, and Hadrian later completes the takeover after Kazehiro and Marcellus arrive, locking down the country and cutting its trade lines with Ulzathir.
