The royal family of Solm uses Tartu Flamingos to carry messages. Solm has a non-aggression pact withFirene, despite never having had conflicts with each other.

Notable locations in Solm

Solm Palace

Solm Palace is the capital of Solm, and home to the Solmic royal family. It is famous for the massive chandelier hanging in the throne room, and the numerous waterways carrying flowers all over the palace. During the second Fell Dragon war, the palace was under siege by the Elusian army after PrincessHortensia took Queen Seforia hostage in a bid to takeAlear'sEmblem Rings. After her plan fails, three of theFour Hounds arrive to kill the Divine Dragon, seize their rings, use Queen Seforia as a blood sacrifice toSombron, and even brain washing Hortensia to fight for them. After the Divine Dragon's army repels the invading forces they recruit Hortensia and obtain the Ring of theInstructor.

Oasis Village

The shopping district is staffed around the clock, and is made up of communal tents which people can freely claim to set up shop in. The oasis' main exports are spices, which it exports to the whole continent. It also grows a unique spice found nowhere else on Elyos.
