Soldier

This is the page for the location. If you're looking for the short story, see Soldier (Story). 
Soldier is a ghost town in North Wales. It is a former mining town and the primary setting of the short story of the same name.
== Appearance ==
Soldier is described as fairly quaint, tidy and quiet. It appears largely abandoned. It looks to be a fairly normal small town, except for the fact that random locations in town are inexplicably full of or covered in slate.
=== Landmarks ===
The most notable landmarks in Soldier are the two slate heaps, Davy's Peak and Mt. Sister. The two are supposed to be positioned in such a way that would prevent a landslide if one fell.
The sign is also notable, as the message on it changes throughout the day.
== Mystery ==
It is unknown what happened in Soldier, why Frances is the only resident who appears to outsiders, or why they lead outsiders there. It could be assumed that Soldier was destroyed by a landslide when Davy's Peak and Mt. Sister collapsed; however, when the landslide happens again at the end of the 'cycle', the spire of the church cannot be seen through the sheet of slate. As such, it is unknown whether Soldier ever really existed.
== Known Residents ==
The only known resident is Frances, a mysterious local young adult who lures outsiders to Soldier for unknown purposes.
== Trivia ==
* A popular local saying (presumably, because Frances says it once) is 'Welcome to Soldier, soldier'.
