Soliferum

Soliferum, known to some as the Lands of the Sun, has a long and rich history. In recent times it has been plagued by secession and internal strife, abandoned by many of individuals most influential in it's foundation.

Soliferum at it's largest included all the lands from Alanurs to Azros and all the lands south and west of that, a power that along with the islands fear of Arcaea allowed it to wield influence over Cathay, Greater Aenilia and the Principality of Zonasa. After war with Arcaea and actions against their neighbours turned relations sour, Soliferum was gradually beaten back to the walls of Hatdhes, upon which Zonasa opened her borders and allowed allied armies to pass into the rear of the great southern realm. As of June the 8th, 2010, Soliferum consists of Osaliel, Azohib, Cutnipaniel and Sozon. Masahakon seceded to form NeoSartania whilst Ortedail was colonised by Duke Ziode and Alanurs lost to Zonasa.

Symbols of Soliferum

"Sparkling soul soars higher; The blighted darkness surrounds; Sunrise, Sol overcomes."

The standard of Soliferum is the burning sun disc, representing the burning light of truth and life. These are the heart and soul of our realm, for within these, all things are possible. A greatsword stands guard before the sun, warding our most precious gifts against the darkness without, but also the darkness within our souls. Our banner reminds us that only through constant vigilance may we protect that which we cherish.

The motto, 'Qui Desiderat Pacem, Praeparet Bellum,' translates as "Who desires peace should prepare for war."
