The Sol Borough is one of seven Boroughs. They are heavily linked to the sun.

The Sol breeds are the domestic Snowfoot and the mystic Prancer. Any cats born under this Borough have brown or gold eyes.

Lore

Location

The Sol territory is north of the Luna territory, and likely the most northern territory in Mewmoia. The territory lays in the flat tundra. The ice and crystals in Sol territory reflect the sun, acting to light up the whole Borough as well as provide the Sol catfolk with a source of magic.

Culture

Sol catfolk are hardier than those of the other Boroughs. Sol cats are traditionally cast to the furthermost edges of the Sol Borough once they reach adulthood. They will then either survive in the wilderness, travel towards the center of the territory, or leave the Borough. The hardiest of the cats will stick towards the edge of the territory, as the center holds an aristocratic town.

The attitude of Sol catfolk is varied. Those towards the edges will enjoy travel and conversation with other Boroughs more readily than those towards the center, who tend to be more reserved and snobbish. The unifying trait of Sol is the pursuit of knowledge and the honoring of the sun. Despite their reverence for the sun, the aristocracy are not spiritual and dislike any implication that they are dependent on a higher deity. They take great pride in their work as magicians and mathematicians and value conformity.

The border folk and those living outside of aristocracy tend to be very tight-knit. However, many cats cast to the edges will either choose to leave or become a serf. The cats who remain try to help others, especially those young cats freshly banished. They view the aristocracy negatively, viewing those who aim for it as one who loses their soul to corruption.

Regardless of one's affiliation, the cats of Sol are viewed as the best source of logic and fact. They are often compared to Luna, and regarded as more sophisticated. Despite their nobility, the leaders of Sol may humble themselves to work with other Boroughs for the greater good.

Crystalline armor made of magic is commonplace. Aristocratic catfolk will wear uniform, time-intensive, pristine armor, while common catfolk will have more unique armor.


Tensions

Sol and Luna are the oldest Boroughs and have the most power, but they have been faltering to the growing Metropolis.
