GATES OF REDEMPTION
Solstica
Solstica is the younger of two mage settlements. Erected several centuries after the establishment of Lumina, it is under the rule of Zacharias, Aurelia’s younger twin brother.
Solstica is located in a land of mystery. With dark pine trees surrounding its border, much of the city has Oriental influences. Much of the settlement is basked in the shadow, with patches of light peering through in set locations, such as the temples and the center of the city. In the center of the city sits a large mosaic encircling a fountain. The mosaic is representative of the five elements: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. Surrounding the initial ring of the the elements is another ring containing the phases of the moon.
Contrast to Lumina, much of the city is ladened with dark tiles, and adorned with lit lanterns. Although Solstica appears as a dark and gloomy city to outsiders, there is an atmosphere of peace and uniformity.
Solstica celebrates two very important days:
-
Luna Festival
-
Solstice Festival
The monarch Zacharias, although he has left his older twin sister, Aurelia, respects her role as monarch and what she has done for her city despite his leave. In response, Zacharias believes that by retaining their sibling relationship, he should acknowledge these festivals.
