Solitude

Solitude is a city within the Kingdom of Creed on the northern continent of Nieden, in the North East of the mountain range Mt. Rulagmo, originally repurposed for Gertonian refugees to flee from the Simulami annexing of the Gertonian empire, and is led by the Akesor (Mayor) M'aiq Do'virr, and the Akesirro (Deputy Mayor) Tom Snake. 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 was the "fastest growing in its territory."

Although Creed's religious demographic is mostly Soleannan, and all religions it doesn't support are banned within the country, Solitude is the only exempt from those rules as it was gifted religious freedom by the Soleannan Empire when they sought refugee status, and there seems to be no plans to change its religious freedom under Creed for the time being.

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 laid upon a mountain range that is currently named Mt. Relagmo. Over time they remodeled 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.

Soleannan Imperium Era
Solitude was given to the Gertonian refugees by the Soleannan Imperium and was under it for a small period of time. In that time it was 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. 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 under the Imperium
When Solitude was given to the refugees it became an exception to the religious conversion rule present throughout the Soleannan 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.

Simulami Era
After the Soleannan Imperium fell there was countless expanses of not officially claimed land, Simulami the same empire that had caused the Gertonians to flee decided to officially claim all of Gertonia's cities, alongside claiming solitude and a few other western towns. Valendaesu went to ZenoHUN and struck a deal that the cities of Gertonia, solitude, and the western cities would form the Kingdom of Creed that would be considered a Simulami Vassal. Valendaesu would lose influence within Solitude in favor of his former town, Galitz that he governed before he fled with the other Gertonians to Solitude, and had now regained control over which left the control between Dominoess & Puma. Due to all the Gertonian cities being a part of Creed territory many decided to go back to their homes and governing jobs in said cities, which is the cause of the current halt in progress in Solitude.

Kingdom of Creed (Current) Era
The end of tensions between Solitude and the previous leadership under Simulami came when Valendaesu the king of Creed and many others declared Creed, and all its cities including Solitude's independence from Simulami, The Refugees of Gertonia now considered citizens of the independent Kingdom of Creed were extremely happy at this news, finally free of Simulami's reign, and the new dawn of leadership.

Solitude Castle
Solitude Castle was the first building to begin construction at the start of Solitudes revival. It was a join project between the four refugees Dominoess, Puma Von Flamevaron, Valendaesu, and Tom Snake. It became the center of town, and most residential house and a couple businesses would be built outwards from the castle.

Mistveil Keep
Mistveil Keep was a project by the leader Dominoess who built it on his within a matter of a week or so, it held tons of armor and had room for prisoners if there ever be need for it. One of the most impressive builds on levels comparable to the castle, and an amazing sight to see from town.

Soleannan Church
Many months after the creation of Solitude work began on projects that had been planned since the start, including the creation of a church to praise the Soleannan beliefs. Although its not officially done being designed, it is open to the public, and a very beautiful site to see in Solitude.
