Sol

The largest farming town in the Golden Fields region, Sol is one of the oldest Raone settlements. It boasts both a thriving trade market due to its location at a major cross roads of Pelor's Way and Solrun and is the largest producer of grain. Those from west and north of Sol will have their first experience of the Golden Fields mostly flat and arid climate. The main road is cobbled with the darker red limestone from The Pits, but elsewhere is dusty and flat. The clay covered mudbrick buildings provide relief from the heat and sun and are frequently painted with designs that indicate the buildings owner, purpose, beliefs, or religion. The blazing sun of the Raone flag is a common design seen painted in yellow or gold throughout the city.   Every city has their poorer and richer districts, but Sol is laid out with them almost intertwining. Gleaming white stone buildings of the wealthy and the red clay brick of the poorer farmers and workhouses may not be found right next to each other, but you can never seen only one without the other anywhere in the large widespread town. The difference is made up with the generosity of some of the wealthier citizens and the community first way of life, since no matter where you walk, the streets are always clean.   The Market Plaza is noted for it's design in keeping the crowded booths cool during the heat of the day. In most cities of the Dom of Raone, a wide stone paved plaza is a typical meeting place for social events, festivals, and the Market booths where vendors can set up on Market Days and sell their wares. Sol's market is also a large stone paved area, but it also has tall stone pillars every so often that support stretched sail cloth strips over the plaza, shading most of the booths, carts, and stalls.
