The Solaran Dominion

  The Solaran Dominion, or simply “Solar,” spans the southern, more compact, half of Skyfell, including the Middlelands won in the First Arcane War and several nearby island colonies.

  Named after the sun, Solar’s warm climate and fertile farmlands—enriched by an ideal mix of fire and life elemental currents—have made it one of the most bountiful nations in post-Emergence history.

  Once a traditional monarchy, Solar saw itself transformed during the First Arcane War after a series of early devastating losses to the new Treviet Union saw the king's professional Royal Mage Soldier Army and its Channeler forces take major losses. Forcing them to rely increasingly on their conscripted Mage Soldiers of their Home Guard militia until they were the major fighting force of the nation.

  Incited by the heavy losses—often due to poor or callous leadership—General Santiago Fernando, the new up-and-coming leader of the Home Guard, led a popular coup that ended the monarchy and established the Dominion as a military state under his rule as Supreme General.

  Under his regime, the newly established High Command launched The Great Conscription, a sweeping decree that effectively drafted every citizen and private industry into military service. Society itself was restructured to maximize industrial output and manpower. This effort ultimately helped to turn the tide of the war.

  Ever since, Solar has become a heavily patriotic and militarized society that—while stringent—has forged one of the most disciplined and well armed armies in the world.

  Seen as both a relic of nobility and a dangerously unstable practice, channeling has been banned in Solar. Instead, the Dominion focuses on its core Mage Soldier training and engineering advantages. To this day Solaran Mage Soldiers are often considered the best in the world. A fact seen in their often lauded Aces.
