Solarium (Town)

The main location of the roleplay server of Solarium.

## Description

The town of Solarium houses 7400 citizens within its walls. The walls are made of two layers of wooden stakes which are packed with wet soil and reinforced with brick near the base.

Within the walls, an intricate web of streets and pathways connect the homes of the residents as well as the main buildings of the town.

6 major streets stretch from the edges of the town to the town centre. The major streets all meet in the middle, where a small tree stands about 11 feet tall with lush green leaves on its long branches. The tree has a ring of rocks around it and benches all around its periphery. The tree. at the very center of Solarium, serves as its heart as people mill about.

The town centre has 4 key buildings close by. The most prominent of those key buildings is the Town Hall, the only building to be made out of stone in all of Solarium.

## History

Solarium was built a mile away from the Pinefall River, surrounded by the fertile soil of the plains. An aqueduct cuts straight through the north side of the town, ferrying its much needed water supply.

The water pools into a large basin under a closed roof. By Nephinae's insistence, it has become custom for a young maiden to ferry the first urn dipped into the basin every morning onto the heart of the town where the founding tree stands. She waters the tree when both the moon and the sun meets the horizon.

Most of Solarium's architecture were built primarily on the wood chopped off trees from the Shilmista Forest. It had grown to such a point that it spanned throughout the entirety of the Snowflake Mountain Valley to the south. Even the plains to the east were no exception from its growth. A small wing had partially devoured the plains to the east.

Through planned deforestation, a trail had been made to the mountains in preparation to harvest its bountiful gifts.

A wall made of wood packed with soil left over from the construction of the aqueduct surrounded the town of Solarium, giving its residents shelter from the vile savagery of the plains.

Surrounding the founding tree was a large plaza filled to the brim with life. Merchants lucky enough to hold spots filled the air with advertisements of their variety of goods. Taverns, inns, textile shops, and much more encircled the plaza, welcoming everyone to stay till the stars emerge.

Past these buildings stood the only structure made with a mixture of stone. A town centre built with the well being of the citizens in mind housed many of Solarium's government officials during their daily hours. A tall tower of eight stories emerged from one of its sides, etched with gnomish engineering visible from any street. It was named "The Clock Tower".
