Solar Pyrrhus is the Solar Capital and largest city of the [[Holy Solarian Empire]]. The city stands between the Saile and Dalach Rivers in Ceiltea with a population of 14 players. Solar Pyrrhus is among one of the world's most developed cities, being the 12th biggest city in the World. Solar Pyrrhus is among the largest and most populous settlements on Western [[Arith]].

Originally founded as the capital city of the High Kingdom of Ceiltea, Ard Saileach (Great Willow), Ard Saileach grew to become a prosperous and powerful city that served as the administrative, regional and legislative capital of the High Kingdom of Ceiltea including the Lordship of Yangtzeguo. When the High Kingdom was overthrown by Collectivists Revolutionaries in the January Revolution, Ard Saileach was renamed to Solar Pyrrhus and remained as the political and economic centre of the new [[Solar Empire of Arith]].

As the historic core of Ceiltea, Solar Pyrrhus serves as the home of numerous artists, scientists and sports figures from all across the Union, due to the presence of its various museums, academic and political institutions and theatres. The city is well known for multiple of its landmarks, particularly its historic Red Square, Tower of the Collectivist Ideal and the Red Citadel, of which the latter serves as the seat of power of the Government of the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics|U.C.C.R.]] Solar Pyrrhus is home to many Ceiltean and Collectivist industries and is served by a comprehensive transport network, which includes a fully developed road system in and out of the city, and a port. The city is covered by many gardens, making it one of the greenest cities in [[Arith]] and the world.

Following the January Revolution, an unanimous decision was made by the Revolutionary Committee of "Red Saileach" - a temporary name of the capital following the Revolution - to rename the city officially, in homage and to glorify Melevor, the new Eternal Leader of the now [[Solar Empire of Arith]]. The "grad" section of the name is derived from an old Pyrrhian word for city, adding additional references to the Union's direct descendance from the [[Pyrrhus|Pyrrhian Collectivist Council Republic]].

Solar Pyrrhus has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The ''Second Pyrrhus'', the ''Great Seat'', and the ''Leadercity.'' The demonym for a Solar Pyrrhus resident is "Solar Pyrrhusian".
