Solonea is the center of knowledge. Home of the elven people, they have had civilized society for so long, even the oldest elf has no idea of their origins. The only clues that remain are old ruins from ages past. Scholars and explorers excavate these runes actively. Not just elves live in Solonea, either. Through great struggles, hardships, and even wars, they have learned to coexist with the humans, and many humans now call Solonea home as well.
Solonea is also credited with the discovery/invention of magic. In fact, much of their culture is centered around magic. The Magic Conclave is an organization that is devoted to the study and teaching of magic, as well as the storage and recovery of magic artifacts. The current head of the guild is one hundred and fifty-seven year old elf named Kalindas, a very powerful spell caster adept at casting watery magics.
Another important organization is the High Citadel of Holy Light. Founded by the High Priest Kain, and run by High Priest Kain. This is the temple that worships Solarious, God of Light and Purification. Here, priests learn to use the holy magics that Solariuos gifts all his followers with. These range from both healing to offensive smiting spells. There is also another group inside the Church: the Templar. Feared and respected, these knights of the church know basic healing magics and have well honed sword skills, making them feared combatants. However, they are not part of the military itself. The only time a Templar's sword is raised is when the lands of Solonea are threatened by invaders, which has only happened three times in the past.
The form of government in Solonea is an "aristocratic democracy",where nobles and figures of high standing vote on the country's laws and major issues. These representatives are voted into the congregation by the people themselves. It is also possible, with hard work and diligence, for one of common standing to become a representative.
Being a small island nation, Solonea has a somewhat average military ground force. However, they are known for their outstanding navy, large in size and well trained. Their deadliest weapons are the Mana Cannons. The first cannon ever invented, these powerful weapons can destroyed a ship in a single shot. However, they drain a ton of mana, and the equivalent of three mages of average power to fire once. This is often what happens, as navy officers will bring aboard mages for the both spell casting assault and for the last ditch Mana Cannon to be fired.
Currently, Solonea is attempting to aid the Baktai people with troop support and supplies. They have yet to suffer an attempted invasion from the Hyruuga.
