Söölland
Söölland, also known as the "Land of the Sun," "Sunland," and the "City of Light," is a unique Imperial Province of the Empire. Unlike other Imperial Provinces, Söölland is a single city situated on a secluded island at the end of the Aachen River. Originally part of the Tuscanians tribes when Sieghardt- God Emperor united them, this island later became a special area within the Imperial Province of Aachen. It was a sanctuary for followers of the god SÖÖL of the Old Rodinia Pantheon, and for centuries, it served as their spiritual home. Over time, as the population grew, the island's inhabitants gained significant power and influence. Responding to their increasing demands, Emperor Sigismund I established Söölland as an Imperial Province, largely due to the persuasion of a close friend.
As the holy city dedicated to SÖÖL, the god of the sun, Söölland is home to the magnificent city of Söölstrum. This city boasts the revered Star Church of the Heavens, a divine edifice so resplendent that words fall short of capturing its celestial brilliance. In SÖÖLSTRUM, the sun's first touch graces the land, and its most radiant glory is ever-present. The Star Church stands as a beacon of light and reverence, embodying the sun's divine essence in every facet of its awe-inspiring presence.

History
Söölland is most famous for housing one of the greatest Emperors of the empire, Roland Plaguebane was the leader of Söölland and fought against the armies of plague during the Plague Wars, saving the empire. He is known as the second savior of the empire.
During the Bloody War, the Queendom of Gardania, much like the other foreign powers invaded the empire. Their goal was to take the holy city of Söölstrum for they too believe in a sun god, Hestia - The Bringer of Light. They see the city as a holy site and when they invaded, spared the city and caused so little damage and killing, that it was as if they just were welcomed in without a fight. Emperor Abram I was forced to sign peace with Gardania, giving up the holy city, and in it's place was born the Order of the Sun.
