Cold the air and water flowing. Hard the we call our home.Push to the dark from coming.Feel the weight of what We Owe.
This the song of son's and daughters.hide the Heart of who We are. Making peace to  Build our future. Strong united working till we Fall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the song of the workers of the frontier.What is the frontier? Have you ever heard of the Duchy of Solaris? No I didn't think so it hasn't been called that since atlas had a proper true king.

What was once a vidal part of the kingdom of atlas where the best soldiers and workers came from.ever since king Attila the last and worse king of atlas lost the Duchy to grimm its been nothing more than a unstable harsh frontier a reclamation zone where once the people of Solaris who was respected among all kingdoms and the more intelligent grimm.

Ever since the first council of atlas and the proclamation of Enoch the once proud people where thrown below the faunus seen as nothing more as slaves the next generation after the proclamation lost their citizenship and had to earn it by Indentured servitude many generations of people have passed for some to pay off the debt but return to the frontier for they know no other place.

The frontier
Where once beautiful works of white stone and quartz and and forts of winter metal stood strong now holds only grimms,ashes,ruins simply dead...thats what would have been said two generations ago now its primitive roads metal huts and living..no living isn't right more like clinging to life supported by a single road and brave Solarians that brave the mountains to bring supplies

Proclamation of Enoch
From what the elders told me the first council the ones that created the proclamation was full of Atlassians that sought to exploit the working culture of my people.it forced our people to work to  gain something that should have been ours by birthright while faunus enjoyed the freedom of living where they wanted to any Solarian not freed being most of us where born lived and died in the frontier

Duchy of Solaris
In the first century the continent that made up atlas was broken into three kingdoms Altas Solaris and Soissons
Three sister kingdoms.In the year of ohm  One hundred and Thirty the kingdom of Solaris stood broken but not beaten 5 years it took joint soisson-Atlas forces to make there way to the smaller kingdoms capital and another year to finally Conquer it soisson wanted to not to just subjugate the kingdom but turn it back to dust atlas seeing the use of such a people gave the kingdom a title within its land the status of a Semi autonomous Duchy and it would keep the title as long as it provides manpower for both military and workforce witch they did dutifully

when the Holy city Altas itself was threatened while the people of Atlas fleed or accepted the rule of strangers the men and woman of Solaris Marched from the harden lands of there home to the capital city and not only retook what was captured but held all of it together

The debt
Everyone here carries a debt wither it be their own or inherited.the most common debts is either working off a large loan or if you commit a crime you can choose to work it off the years given.Then there is the sins of the father witch only applies to the sons  witch is in some cases if a father commits a heavy crime the state will take the sons to work it off my debt well..originally
it was a debt to the schnees family my great great grandfather couldn't pay
my great grandfather killed someone in the process of self defense but the court ruled not in hisfavor so  extra debt was added my grandfather he was apart of a riot so he was given the hardest of work high rise riveting witch when he died transfered to my father witch he completed than died of exhaustion transferring the debt to me witch I'm close to completing
*buzzz*
My brake is almost over and soon I must return to work its been a long time but I am close to finishing my..our debt
