In the ancient world of Solera, everything is constructed from the foundation of sound. The only way to understand the rules of this place is by carving the sound into runes—ancient symbols woven into the fabric of the universe. These aren’t just carved marks; they exist in the vibrations of sound, light, and the flow of the cosmic waters that move throughout the planet. The very roots are alive and quivering with vibrational energy. The ethereal and dangerous flora is both sacred and sentient, shaped by the resonance of its essence. Trees pulse with ancient energy, rivers hum with cosmic frequencies, and the stars themselves sing with primal resonance. The core of Solera lies deep within the mind of Voir, the Cosmic Sea God. Put to rest by the outer gods, it sleeps beyond this plane and conjures dreams as beautiful as they are terrifying. The eye of Voir can be interpreted as Solera’s Ocean, a vast and ever-changing body of water that stretches beyond the stars, filled with a substance resembling acid or lye. The waters ripple not with waves, but with the harmonies and dis-harmonies of celestial forces. The beings who live within Solera—both plant and animal, as well as ancient, ethereal entities—are attuned to these vibrations. Their survival and culture are founded on listening, interpreting, and shaping these cosmic sounds.

The Language: The ancient language is Sol, a system of runes that are based on both sound and intent. They are etched not only in stone or clay, but in the very air, spoken in tones and harmonics, or visualized in intricate patterns in the sky. Each rune corresponds to a specific frequency or vibration that carries its own meaning and power. To speak, one does not simply voice words—they weave energy and influence into existence through the tones of one's voice, gestures, and expressions of will. To use this power, one must speak these runes in perfect harmony, both with intent and with nature’s flow. If a spell is miscast, it could result in an unintended disruption, creating chaotic vibrations that alter reality in strange and dangerous ways, potentially stirring the Cosmic Sea God.
