Solitude

Solitude is a city within the Simulami Empire, repurposed for Gertonian refugees to flee from the Simulami takeover, and is led by Dominoess. Rebuilt within only a few days, Solitude is a city that began to rapidly expand and gain new refugees, with many even saying that the town is currently the "fastest growing in its territory."

Revival
Solitude was recreated as a place to house Gertonian refugees who were either exiled from or decided to flee Gertonia. The Soleannan Imperium gifted them an abandoned castle to use, which they remodelled and turned into the Castle of Solitude. Before this, Solitude had been abandoned and was in a ruinous state, with its previous history still largely unknown, other than the fact it was known as Baunei.

Leadership
Solitude is under the Simulami Empire and is officially led by Dominoess, with Valendaesu helping to govern. Initially, the leadership of Solitude was unofficially split between the influences of Dominoess, Valendaesu, and Puma until a settlement was reached, which included using an online randomizer to determine who would take overall leadership. Dominoess won, whilst Valendaesu and Puma became deputies, whilst still retaining an equal level of influence. However, with the end of tensions between Solitude and the leadership within Simulami, Valendaesu would lose influence within Solitude in favour of his former town, Galitz. The mayor(s) were originally chosen based on the fact that they were all previously prominent leaders of Gertonian towns before they were exiled by ZenoHUN after the annexation of Gertonia.

Religion
Solitude became an exception to the religious conversion rule present throughout the Imperium on the grounds that it'd be unfair to force refugees to convert to Soleannan, which would otherwise normally occur throughout other Imperium territories. Nevertheless, there were a few conversions, mostly out of appreciation for the fact that the Imperium had been so gracious towards the fleeing Gertonians.
