Solitudine

Overview
Solitudine is a client state west of Rhalasium which is officially recognized as apart of its domain. It is headed by a King in Almerion Riverion, though the subservience of their crown to the Rhalasians is well known and understood. Much like how things operate in regards to relations between Nurhst and Rhalasium, where Jaire Kartanian effectively rules a sovereign Nurhtish state but recognize that they are but vassals under an almighty Rhalasian crown. These three men can be seen as a sort of royal triumvirate which dominates the middle section of the Tencurian continent.

Solitudine is famous throughout much of the known world for all of the wrong reasons, which include the trafficking of Dox and human cargo, an over prevalence of pleasure houses, and an overall culture of vulgarity among the lower classes. Emphasis is placed on a reliance to a seemingly benevolent state which lends support to those who are in dire need of it, and the complacency of the lower classes through means of entertainment such as gladiator fights, sports, and plays. Their forms of entertainment are looked down upon by those from Urbs and Crylanor who consider it cheap, tactless, and obscene when compared to their artistry.

Kreon Riverion, the advisor to a string of kings during the middle of the 4800s said that "'The world runs on placation. Subjects must be cared for enough to survive, but never enough to thrive. Happy enough to be content, but never enough to prosper. That is the job of men like myself.'"This is the culture which keeps kingdoms like Solitudine and even Crylanor attached at the hip to the status quo.
