Neutral Hilltop

Neutral Hilltop is a windswept, exposed elevation in Solais Five, serving as a fragile diplomatic ground between warring factions. Its jagged rock formations and uneven terrain create a natural barrier, reinforcing the uneasy truce while also symbolizing the divisions below. The air carries the lingering scent of weapons fire and disturbed earth, and pale sunlight filters through smoke, casting long shadows toward distant encampments. The hill’s neutrality is tenuous—a stage for tense negotiations where every movement is watched, and the landscape itself could conceal unseen threats. Its stark, exposed nature mirrors the precarious balance of the conflict it temporarily holds at bay.
