History Index​

Unknown period
Solaris is born from the sun, beginning it's migration to Earth/Mobius. After reaching it's destination, it settles on the tribal lands of Baal where the mobian bird clan of Ra resides. The Ra clan come to worship the solar deity as their patron.

899
A tribe of mobian cats called the Fireclaw descended from the north after being exiled from their home. The Ra Tribe welcomes them, as they share their land with them.

999
Clan Master Garuda calls for a peace treaty between the Emerald Clan and the Ra Tribe. These two clans have been at war for some time, and both Masters agreed that enough blood has been spilled. The Fireclaws and Hedgehogs aligned with the Tribe and Emerald Clan are also in attendance, overseeing the treaty. Various members either agree or disagree with the treaty, and its biggest detester is Dis, brother of Garuda. On the day of the treaty signing, Dis led an insurgency against the clans, afterwards stealing the flames of Solaris. Garuda's betrothed and priestess, Isis, manages to take the soul of Solaris before fleeing into the Eastern Islands, along with the rest of the survivors.

The self proclaimed Phoenix King claims domination over the tribal lands and islands, but he is incomplete as he is missing the soul and is determined to get it back. All of the clans stood united against the Phoenix King, blessed by Isis and also using the power of the sacred Chaos Emeralds. The usurper was defeated, and the deity's flame turned Dis into ash. The flame is released and it is decided to keep them separate in a show of good faith. The Ra Tribe kept the soul, the Fireclaw was given the body, and the echidnas, who now worship the solar deity, were given the mind, forming an alliance. The southern lands are henceforth named the Kingdom of Soleanna.

The echidnas have split into two clans, the Noctis Clan that watches over the Mind, and the remnants who chose the Master Emerald. The latter left the surface by living on a floating island.

The Fireclaw tribe returns to the north, reclaiming their homeland from the ones that exiled them years prior. After liberation, the Kingdom of Ambra was established.

1831
King Rhodes Leandesia was killed in a surprise attack by descendants of the Bronze FangClan who were attempting to claim the soul. His son and heir, Aurelius Leandesia was crowned king, and he declared war on the resurgence of the clan. This was the start of a five-year war.

1836
Lady Pyrrha Solskya is chosen to become the next host for the Soul, but the king halts the ceremony, as they are still at war. He had a plan to use the power of the soul as a weapon against the enemy, but Duke Korinthos Solskya wouldn't allow it. He was deemed a traitor to the cause, and was imprisoned and stripped of his title. His son, Credence, pleads for his father's release, but it falls on deaf ears. The soul is taken by Pyrrha, as she refused to have a piece of their God be used as a weapon, and her brother protected her from the king. Aurelius was slain by Credence in self-defense, and the Duke took leadership to put an end to the resurgence. He becomes the first Grand Duke of Soleanna, turning it into a Grand Duchy.

1965
North Vulcan Island was hit by a mysterious meteorite, and it's power causes the robots and technology around the island to become insane and cause mayhem. Central and other islands gathered their forces to rescue the survivors and battle the rampaging robots. The conflict lasted for six months, with the coalition winning the war, but at the great cost of Vulcan island being uninhabitable for life as it is too contaminated to be rebuilt.

1987
The South Island is invaded by Ivo Robotnik, who places a force field around it. He began his reign of terror on the inhabitants, trying to turn their island into a mechanized land. A lone hedgehog named Sonido Alexander fought back, building a resistance from within, and successfully overthrew Robotnik and liberated the island. He was given a heroic medal by the president for his bravery.

1990
Princess Blaze of Ambra and Princess Elise of Soleanna are born.

1991
Sonic the Hedgehog is born.

1995
Duchess Olenia Solskya is deceased, a funeral is held in her honor.

1999
Blaze has become host of the Body of Solaris.

2000
Solskya Castle in Kingdom Valley is destroyed by an unknown force, leaving Princess Elise one of the few survivors. She becomes the Soul's new host during the chaos, also the current Grand Duke's heir.
