Sol'uomu

After the thirteen gods prohibited the evolutionary prowess that the Creature had, the sun god Solite worked on his castle in the sky to watch over the southern region which he abides in. During this time, some of the radiant magic that he used to construct the castle fell onto Umbra Silvam. This fell in close proximity with the flaming sun that was left over by Solpistellas great purge of rebirth. They reacted together with a shining light, radiating one of the newly gimped Creatures. Time went on as they evolved into the race of Sol'uomu, the people of the sun god Solite.   Once the race naturally evolved into fully sentient humanoids, they began to cultivate the land and utilize it for their needs. They initially built a small settlement around what they call the Radiant Sun, which then expanded into a colony, and then into a city, and finally an entire kingdom. They named the kingdom Pian Calda, and the surrounding land Sud Sole. The city of Pian Calda borders the southern sea known as La Marina, where they cultivated most crops and caught the creatures they eat upon. This constant lifestyle near the ocean and in the sun caused them to tan and become incredibly lean. Once the kingdom of Pian Calda was built, they constructed La Chiesa Del Solite with the Radiant Sun as its base. This is where they worship Solite and began the religion surrounding him.
