100 Followers! And my Travel Guide

Firstly, I'd like to say AAAAHH THANKS FOR 100 FOLLOWERS ON MY WORLD!! <3

Secondly, I just published my hitchhiker's guide to my world! It's more or less done, but I still may tweak some things. Now I've got to work on some of the settlement articles that are linked from it, they are quite out of date haha.

This guide is aimed to be a little bit of a guide for the Postcards collectibles I added recently (I will add postcards to settlement articles soon), as well as for some Dragonguard history, and to experience visiting various places across my world. I hope you enjoy!

One of my favourite articles, Keystones, is in the running for Best Article of 2026! This is the biggest category I've ever been up for, and my first time in the big leagues. We won a newcomer category during the first Worldbuilding Awards, with Solaris being awarded the Most Beautiful New World, and we've tried to keep the iron hot. In 2023, we won Best Body of Work in Worldember 2023. Could this be the year where Solaris snags a spot in the sky alongside the heroes of World Anvil?

For those of you new to Solaris , it's a space opera set in our little solar system, inspired by mythology and the wonder of looking up at the stars. It's been a sparkly crystal paradise, up until the angelic armies of the sun attacked and laid Mercury to waste.

I write Solaris alongside my cowriter and fiancée Skye. All the art for Solaris is drawn by me in MS Paint, and I made my own theme. No AI or LLMs are involved in any step of the process. I can do all of this because of the wealth of knowledge shared here on the internet, so I try to do my part in sharing what I know as well. You can find a bunch of guides by me in the Post Script of Solaris, as well as links to resources I use, and I've been trying to update all my articles with a authors note about my inspirations.

This year I also got my second nomination for Strength & Honor with Operation War Dove, the article that gave me my first ever win on World Anvil when it was picked as the winning conflict article that Summer Camp. The overview of the tech of my setting, Crystal Technology, was also nominated for Pillars of Progress. Both of these categories are voted on by you, and I highly recommend you check out all the articles and vote on your favourite!

300 explorers = Solaris 3.0

Solaris made it all the way to 300 explorers! When we went into Summer Camp with 298 explorers the excitement that we might hit 300 really started to build. On the 28th the two ticked over to a three! And what better way to celebrate than to give you something to enjoy too?

Enter Solaris 3.0! I've given the whole world a new coat of css, which means you can now explore Solaris in dark mode! If you loved the light theme, don't worry, it's still there! I used some CSS magic to make it update the theme depending on your browser preference. You can also use the new toggle in the navbar to decide which theme to use. Because I believe in sharing my magic tricks, I wrote a guide on how I set this up !

Much love to everyone, thank you so much for supporting Solaris!
