Solea

An overview of Solea.

Description and Geography

Map of Solea.

Solea is a mountainous region bordering the Moyer Ocean and includes a network of caves within its bowels. It links the Nubes Mountains in Rano to Physis.

It is the home of the Star Mark, and one may find the ocean view from its cliff rather refreshing after having traversed the maze-like caves known as the Iria Tunnels to get to it. Within the caves, there are secret doors and walls.

Solea is unique in that it has no Mana Tunnel, not even a collapsed one.

To easily pass through the caves, the easiest and fastest path through both cave networks is to stay as far southwest as possible.

Landmarks

The Star Mark, located in the clearing between the two cave networks.

Navigating the caves

Both cave networks have a central room with the same high pillars that can be seen in the Connous Underground Maze. These can be used to roughly know your position on the map.

Southern part: The closer you are to Solea, the redder the stone will be.
Northern part: the closer you are to Physis, the bluer the stone will be.

All monsters in Solea have a very low chance (about .1%) to drop a Treasure Chest Key. This key can open up one chest in Solea. These rooms are also good places to find Wings of the Goddess.
