Solterra
Golden fields are stretching endlessly in a vast area, swaying gently under the eternal sunlight. Nearby hills dotted with wildflowers give way to sparkling rivers that appear gold due to the abundant light.
Perched atop the highest golden hill of Solterra, the Castle of Solis gleams like a beacon under the eternal sunlight. Its towering spires, adorned with intricate carvings of phoenixes and sunbursts, are capped with golden domes that shimmer against the azure sky.
The walls, built from pale sandstone and infused with sunstone dust, seem to glow with an inner warmth, making the entire structure appear bathed in a perpetual sunrise. The grand sun gates, encrusted with amber and topaz, reflect the light in dazzling patterns.
Inside, sunlight floods in through the huge stained-glass windows, with each wall depicting legendary Solterran rulers and celestial motifs in brilliant hues of amber, ruby, and citrine.
Marble floors veined with gold reflect the light, while sunburst chandeliers cast warm golden halos over the grand halls.
The throne room is the heart of the castle, where a majestic golden throne encrusted with topazand flaming opals sits atop a sun-etched dais, radiating authority and power.
Vast gardens of sun-kissed blooms and citrus trees surround the palace, their fragrance mingling with the crisp morning air.
The main central courtyard is decorated with a huge golden fountain depicting a valiant phoenix on the top with the legendary crown of Solis.

In a private chamber, high up in the castle, soft glow of light filtered in through the tightly shut curtains. Delicate silk curtains flutter from the balcony doors bringing in the scent of lemons.
The walls are decorated with black and gold, with various decorations hung in the corners.The chamber is in itself huge, it's grandeur representative of the position of the room owner.
The bed is made of the finest maple wood found in the kingdom, and draped in luxurious gold and crimson silky fibers. The surrounding floor is covered with finely woven dark carpets.
Every thing shows the effort put into the settings of the room. On the left is the extension leading to the wardrobe and bathroom, while the room in front has sitting arrangement with book shelves in the corner. On the right is the balcony overlooking the royal gardens and a study room. The writing desk is covered with half writing letters and official documents.
At dawn, the castle bells 🔔 rang in the highest tower of the castleas announcing the start of a new day,as it was the way the people of Solterra differentiate between resting and work time.
A few knocks resound on the beautifully carved oak doors and an instance later a couple of maid entered with a red haired lady leading them. The lady entered the bed chamber while the maids started to clean the other joint rooms.
" Your Highness, its time to wake up" she said, drawing the curtains back letting the sun shine through the windows and opened the door to thr balcony.
A figure shifted on the bed as if to hide from the bright light, a sigh escaped through her red lips.
"Give me a moment, Ruby. Its not like something will change",she spoke shifting slightly under the covers.
" You have time until the bath is ready"
Ruby moved to the adjacent room to select the robe for the day and matching it with finely made jewelry.
"The bath is ready, lady ruby."one of the maids informed. "Noted", the red haid leader replied.
"Your Highness, if you may, please. You have tasks to accomplish and the breakfast hour is approaching." 😒
