New Solace
You have seen the first Solace, the Old Solace. This point marks the new creation, the New Solace. This is all a creation of the Holy Spirit forging a new child of God. New Solace will one day dwell in Heaven forever, made perfect in God's Holy image. Praise be to God for all that he has done and for what he continues to do. This is one universe, perfectly united in Christ. The new world will display and experience hope, faith, and love that will be expressed through the being known as The New Mask. For in blackest night, and in the darkest place. A new light shines brightly, challenging the Old Face. The smallest seed, a newborn vine. Holy Spirit tends and grows this new heart of mine. Carry on, little sheep, a new life begins, yet conflict is intense with the Old Solace of Sin.
New Solace is one realm, forever united within the grace of God. Unlike the old chaos, this creation is a singular world of light, justice, and grace. Time and space are more stable here, allowing for days and seasons to be known and utilized accordingly. The realm itself dwells in Holy light, holding stars that shine ever brighter. The rays of twilight that emulate from within these stars serve as bridges to the various sanctuaries that are present throughout this world. All of these stars themselves contain these sanctuaries, which are beautiful places of word and truth. From these stars of faith vines of fruit burst forth and spread between the sanctuaries of New Solace. Entangled among the stars, drawing life and fruit from them. This realm is all powered and held together by the Holy Spirit, for without his love The Face would surely devour it, leaving New Solace lost in the corrupting influence of sin. One has to wonder how far The Holy Spirits reach is within this multiverse of desire. Could it be that God has and is continuing to reach into other waves too, longing to bring peace and order to them? I believe so, for who can stop his love? Still, the Saints are not aware of everything God does, for who knows the mind of The Lord as to instruct him?

Geography
An endless plane of stars and vines enveloped and connected to the Holy Spirit. Though there many stars, seven shine brighter than any of the others. These seven stars each contain a special sanctuary that is vital to the survival of the new creation. Each star symbolizes and represents a key spiritual component to the growth of the New Mask. The other stars serve as various stations for the Saints of New Solace. Within these smaller stars Eden like gardens, forests, and towns reside. Below is the list of the seven stars that serve their purpose according to the Holy Spirit.
Halls Of Justice- A mighty fortress that stands on high. God's word is symbolized, towering through the sky. The fortress is a constant reminder of the demand for perfection. There is only one way in, the cross-shaped entrance in one tiny section. The walls are adorned with scripture, as well as the last prophecies completing God's will. Incense burns throughout, reminding all of faith's purity. The holy law is displayed pointing to Christ, showing that sin is banished into obscurity. Marble and stone molded together by the power of the word. God's justice stands forever, sins tabernacle will always be blurred. Walk up the stairs, humbled by every step. As you journey upward you learn that it is God alone who calls you, a truth you will not soon forget.
Fountain Of Mercy- Within New Solace a great font was brought forth. A cross of love at its center, water, and blood flow from the source. Both blood and water cleanse the soul by removing all sin and making a person whole. Beneath the fountain, an altar of mercy stands present. With all righteous satisfied one may enter into the mountain beneath the cross. Dwellings of all kinds lie within, safe places of refuge that are free from all sin. May the saints within new Solace take heart and rest here. Always living in peace, and free from all fear.
Throne of Heart- A great throne sits within a valley of manna and honey. Saints venture here to be nourished, though it is not bread alone that satisfies them. A grand table stretches out before the throne. Infinite in length, yet no matter where you sit you are never far away from the Heart Throne. The sky is pleasant as a gentle breeze constantly blows on the land. Manna grows on one side of the valley while on the other rivers of honey flow endlessly. Both manna and honey are gathered and eaten in a great, endless feast. May the saints be satisfied forever at the Lord's table with his throne always present, never forgetting that the Lord God is omnipresent.
Orrery of Knowledge- A sanctuary of truth, revealing all things about New Solace and God's creation. All wisdom is shared here ranging from the mysteries of love and faith to the power of word and redemption. All sciences, math, literature, philosophy dwell in spheres of glass and light that are forever in eternal truth. God is a gracious God, for if he is willing to sacrifice his only son for us, will he not also give us all things through him that save us. May the saints dwell in peace and knowledge of God, both now and in eternity.
Spire Of Hope- A great monument made of the finest crystal, marble, and stone stands forever in New Solace. Hope and faith rise upwards as a beacon of faith to the God who established it. Around the spire are smaller observation towers where one may stand and contemplate the word and the hope it provides for us all. May the Saints enjoy long sessions of meditation here as they bask in the eternal light of God and his divine mercy.
Eternity Forge- Within New Solace there is a great Forge that is vital to the defense of the entire realm. Fueled by the truths of scripture, eternal fires of life create weapons and armor necessary for the protection of God's saints. The weapons forged here are not just physical, but also spiritual in nature. When one's faith waxes or wanes the power of the weapon in use is strengthened or weakened as well. All beings here stand firm in truth, despite Old Solaces' influence pushing on the outer boundaries of New Solace. May this forge always create in the fires of truth and justice, even after the time of war has passed and peace reigns eternal. By God's grace weapons will not be needed one day.
Harbors Of Grace- Ethereal waters flow throughout these great seas of hope and twilight. As the waters churn great ships set sail looking for beings who are called out of the darkness and into the new light. Saints from across New Solace adorn themselves with scripture as they search and fish for souls to save. For as New Solace spreads, so too do its inhabitants. Purified by word and sacrament the number of Saints grows daily despite the Old Faces onslaught. May New Solace continues to grow as parts of the old are brought to the new. Fish on as you reflect the holy mission given to all followers of Christ.
