Soleto (Sulìtu in local dialect) is a small Griko-speaking city located in the province of Lecce in Apulia, Italy. The town has a total population of 5,523 and is one of the nine towns of Grecìa Salentina.
In the 5th century, Soleto was elevated to the seat of a bishopric of the Byzantine Rite. In the Middle Ages it was ruled by Count Gjon Kastrioti II (the Roman numeral is related to the Kastrioti dynasty), son of the Albanian national hero Skanderbeg. In the 13th century the Angevine rulers of Naples chose the city as the capital of a county, later ruled by the Castro, Balzo, Orsini, Campofregoso, Castriota, Sanseverino, Carafa, and Gallarati-Scotti families, until feudal control was finally abolished in 1806. Soleto became part of the Neapolitan Republic of 1799 and was a center of the Carboneria during the Italian Risorgimento.
The Soleto Map, the oldest geographical map in Western world, was discovered in Soleto by Belgian archaeologist Thierry van Compernolle of Montpellier University on 21 August 2003.
Savageland, another time, another world, where under a cold blue sun, the
evil Duke Kron, half brother of the murdered ruler of Savageland, seeks to
deny the rightful heir - Braveheart, his destiny.
Duke Kron cannot do this until he has found and extinguished the mythical
dragon Moroth, who guards the Shield of Darkness (a force for good or evil
to whom whoever posseses it).
The Duke must keep Braveheart from finding the shield. He therefore sets
out to destroy Braveheart and all men of good heart by using his dark
legions of damned souls, all what have been put under the spell of the Blue
Flame, which the Duke keeps burning by the rare ore that is dug by the
slave children in the underground mines. As events unfold Elenor,
Braveheart's daughter, is accidently killed by himself, while trying to
summon mystic forces against the Duke.
Braveheart, swears vengeance! The Duke must be stopped!
