Solitas[2] is the northernmost continent of Remnant on which the former Kingdom of Atlas was located. Within the Kingdom was the City of Atlas, based around Atlas Academy, as well as the city of Mantle, the former capital of the Kingdom.

Solitas has a cold climate, which makes it mostly inhospitable to both Humans and Grimm. It's described as easy to get lost in, especially in its tundras. In certain areas, forests such as the Snowbound Forest are capable of growing. Wildlife amongst in Solitas is shown to include prize deer and penguins.

Auroras, or polar lights, are often seen in the night sky of Solitas.

Over time, the Creatures of Grimm grew to adapt to the cold of Solitas, now said to be the strongest species of Grimm.[3] However, the Grimm adapted at a supernaturally fast rate, leading many to wonder the cause of this change.[4] Grimm that adapted to this climate include the Megoliath and Sabyr, amongst others.

The majority of the continent was shown to be covered with ice, as seen in "With Friends Like These". However, there were stone arches and pathways leading out of Mantle with an abandoned Atlas Military outpost stationed nearby. There were also smaller settlements spread throughout the continent such as Essen, Crossed and Dormir that made up parts of the land.

The settlements around Solitas usually worked together in order to survive with the people of Dormir using their ice fishing skills around the huge lake in Solitas to get food which they distributed to the other settlements like Essen and Crossed before it's destruction. According to residents of Essen, they would end up starving without the food they get from Dormir.[5]

The Tumak Ruins located on the western side of Solitas also held an important part in Atlesian culture and all of Humanity due to being a formal Remnant heritage site with relics pre-dating the Great War telling what the past was like for the residents. In more recent times however, well-meaning historians had made off with the relics that were in the Ruins for thousands of years. However, nobody could get into the ruins by the time "RWBY: Arrowfell" started due to being overrun by the Grimm. Despite that, there was a conservation effort underway for the ruins.[6]

Mosset Grotto was a small Grotto located a little east of Mantle that was infested with Grimm. The only person in the Grotto was Moss Berbere who assumed he was the mayor of "Mosset Village".[7]

Located on the southwestern-most island of the continent was Gehen Station, a train station that had tracks going through the entire continent.[8]

The continent later had a river of Grimm Liquid formed in it due to Monstra producing the substance which managed to pierce through the city of Atlas' defenses.

After the Kingdom of Atlas was destroyed, the continent was abandoned with at least thousands of its residents using a passageway to evacuate to Vacuo.[9]
