Lilac Lattice
Lilac Lattice was created on Canvas 58 by _Etta as a derivative of Green Lattice with the colours inverted. The faction's goal was to be a very open and welcoming lattice, allowing just about anyone to build art in Lilac Lattice's territory, though only one small art piece was ever built in the lattice by someone outside of the faction. Lilac Lattice was extremely short lived, lasting from the first day of Canvas 58 to the first day of Canvas 59, when all three members retired from pxls. Despite being around for such a short time the faction drew a lot of ire from other people on pxls due to their extreme virgin abuse.
_Etta returned to pxls halfway through Canvas 59, rebranding Lilac Lattice as Solvernia, officially the Margraviate of Solvernia and creating a grayscale lattice around Grayscale Pxls. The goal of the Margraviate of Solvernia was to more or less be the opposite of the Chromatic Empire by making elaborate and unique lattices each canvas along with a central art piece. This goal of being the anti-Chromatic Empire, which _Etta viewed as oversized, boring, and overprotective of their solid colour backgrounds, was rather ironic as Solvernia's name was inspired by members of ChE.
Following Canvas 59, Solvernia began to make art pieces along with their backgrounds, which grew larger and more elaborate with each canvas.
Lilac Lattice
Canvas 58
Lilac Lattice was founded right as Canvas 58 began, staking their claim in the top left corner of the right cloud and began to slwoly build their white, pink, and purple lattice and assorted small art pieces, gradually expanding their lattice downwards after filling in their initial claim. This slow and leisurely pace came to an abrupt end when Gura's Supermarket started a colony below the Bad Girl Coven's art, causing Lilac Lattice to swiftly lattice an area near the colony in order to fully claim the lobe of the cloud they were present in, much to the ire of GSm and specifically Mcdoodlydoo.
Virgin Abuse Controversy
This cutoff and rapid expansion also led to the lattice getting more from various users, much of which was negative to the severe abuse of virgin, or untouched pixels, which _Etta had only learned of shortly before the arrival of GSm after being contacted by somekid. Shortly after finishing their lattice, _Etta and Redawned attempted to devirgin the lattice, but quickly realised that they would not have enough time to devirgin the entire area, and the faction instead opted to fill it with as much art as possible.
Woke Cells Skirmishes
A few days before GSm's colonisation of the right cloud began, coloured a few empty cells in Cell Lattice pink and purple upon seeing different people and groups making their own custom cells. Cell Lattice ended up expanding their custom cells, which were destroyed in the First Opcellog. Redawned and Technia were unhappy with their cells being destroyed along with the rest of Cell Lattice and made a single new cell in what remained of Cell Lattice. When Woke Cells came in to convert the remains of Cell Lattice to Woke Cells, this brought them into conflict with Lilac Lattice's cell, and after being destroyed and rebuilt twice, Redawned and Technia backed down after Temriel explained why Cell Lattice was destroyed and _Etta personally told them to stop. D_Leeo was still upset with Lilac Lattice and began attacking their Michigun memorial, which they took from r/place 2022, accusing them of griefing Woke Cells, though this attack only lasted for an hour or so before things cooled back down.
Colony and NBGM Dispute
As they finished their new art pieces in their main territory Lilac Lattice started a colony on top of the remains of Haxway's lattice, who had frequently griefed their logo and made it say Lilac Lettuce or Lil Ass. They set up a gradient border with Green Lattice and began to Lattice around NuMetalAlbums' CD art, wrapping around three sides of it and planned to lattice around the last quarter of the disc, which they considered to have claimed by latticing in the other three areas. _Etta returned later that day to find that the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy had colonised the corner. Upon pinging Temriel and angrily asking why NBGM had taken their percieved claim, which sparked a few minutes of conflict between a few NBGM members and Lilac Lattice. Lilac Lattice was more or less brushed off due to their virgin severe virgin abuse, and they didnt put up any resistance or attempt to claim the corner for their own, knowing that they were massively outmatched by the Chromatic Empire. This led to _Etta strongly disliking and distrusting ChE and to a lesser extent all large factions.
Canvas 59
A few days before the NBGM dispute _Etta, Redawned, and Technia had all decided to quit Pxls and disband Lilac Lattice once the canvas reset as all three had become burnt out. Lilac Lattice ended up extending their stay on Pxls by a few hours and upon reset swiftly made a small lattice area with an abbreviated logo, their three names, and the text "cya!" below the logo.
Margraviate of Solvernia
Canvas 59
_Etta returned halfway through Canvas 59 and took the original Lilac Lattice faction tag and renamed it to the Margraviate of Solvernia, the Margraviate part of the name inspired by some members of the Chromatic Empire using faction names that make them sound like fully fledged countries. Despite this inspiration, _Etta's goal was to be the polar opposite of ChE, and after initially trying to build in the middle of Idle Slayer's lattice, Solvernia began making an elaborate grayscale background next to Grayscale Pxls, the pattern chosen as a thank you to drake for helping her find a new location that she could fit Solvernia's logo. This canvas was extremely uneventful for Solvernia, with the faction having next to no interaction with anybody and _Etta making the lattice entirely by herself until the last day of the canvas, when a handful of users helped on the lattice until reset.
Canvas 60
Canvas 60 was another uneventful canvas for Solvernia, with Helislothic helping out with making Hivolt and the initial diamond, with _Etta expanding on her own until Shimanas from the Geometry Dash faction helped her out in the later part of the canvas after helping her build a solo art piece depicting part of a Geometry Dash level. He would go on to join Solvernia later that canvas and help out towards the ends of future canvases. While Solvernia wasn't directly involved in the Flandre-Foxhole War, _Etta helped Flandre take over Foxhole's main art toward the end of the initial offensive and helped repulse Foxhole's counterattacks. This led to _Etta being invited into Flandre and the two factions later becoming Allies.
Canvas 60a
Solvernia's start on Canvas 60a was extremely rough, and they were attacked by an unknown griefer that was able to stay anonymous due to the canvas' -snip- gimmick hiding all names, forcing Solvernia to quietly relocate to a different square below Green Lattice and make decent progress on their coat of arms before the griefer attacked them again, this time being successfully repulsed. _Etta's initial suspicions of the griefer being lord, a member of Foxhole, Can, or Ewastaken, two users that _Etta griefed multiple times on Canvas 60, were debunked through tracking the change in their pixel counts while fighting the griefer. After the griefer was repulsed, Solvernia made a very small background around their coat of arms that was designed to mesh with Green Lattice, and planned to take a break for the rest of the canvas as _Etta disliked the -snip- gimmick. This didn't last long as when the Crucible War began, multiple small pieces of art were partially or fully covered by Legion's grief on the Chromatic Empire. Solvernia stepped in to help defend the Shinmy, King's Brand, and Spiny art and to help relocate the Koishi art after ChE took the area that it originally occupied from Legion. Solvernia helped relocate the Spiny when the original creator agreed to move it and relocated the King's Brand a couple hours later after Legion turned their attention to it and completely destroyed it, but successfully helped defend Shinmy from Legion and a brief attempt from ChE to cover part of her with the tip of the tentacle from their jellyfish.
Canvas 61
Solvernia got off to a rough start on Canvas 61, with the small canvas forcing them to relocate twice and preventing Flandre from creating their part of a duo art collab with Solvernia and push their art back a canvas. Solvernia got help from zalgy while building Remilia during the first part of the canvas, and once they moved on to making the lattice Solvernia helped destroy a lightsaber that overlapped with FURU's Cult of the Lamb art when the lightsaber's creators began griefing the lamb. Outside of this short grief Canvas 61 was extremely uneventful, with _Etta once again mostly soloing Solvernia's background until a handful of members of the Geometry Dash faction helped finish the lattice near the end of the canvas.
Canvas 62
Solvernia struggled to find space for their template at the start of their canvas, and while they planned on collabing with PokéPxls and the High Church of Luigi, this ended up not happening as Schizophrenia's Rouge art forced Solvernia to split off from the collab and attempt to find a space not claimed by a larger faction. They were nearly forced to scrap their art on this canvas due to the only large unclaimed areas, most of the leaves, were slightly too small for the canvas, but Lunes' unexpected abandoning of their plans right as the canvas started allowed for Solvernia to take their claim for themselves. Outside of the chaos while seeking a place for their template, Canvas 62 was mostly uneventful for Solvernia, with FrodoFraggins and LoafKingHue helping with the Meloetta art and Shimanas helping with the lattice towards the end. Flandre's main art of Flandre Scarlet was initially meant to go with Solvernia's Remilia Scarlet art on the previous canvas, but had to be delayed a canvas, and Solvernia helped with the building of both Flandre and the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and helped defend Flandre against Schizophrenia. Solvernia's art on Canvas 62 dwarfed anything they had made before, with their total size being 20,000 pixels larger than their Canvas 60 territory, which was their previous largest canvas. Upon finishing their lattice Solvernia officially sided with Idle Slayer and helped them defend the giant from Schizophrenia in the Schizo War.
Canvas 63
Solvernia once again struggled to find space for their template, with attempts to find a location resulting in overlapping with multiple large factions. A final location was eventually found on the purple square in exchange for helping move IWBTG Pxls' small sprite out of the way. While there were initially no plans for a lattice due to _Etta planning on placing much more slowly than on the previous canvas, help from Zombie812 and HentaiLover, who alone placed roughly half of Solvernia's art, led to a lattice being started later during the canvas. The planning for this lattice was extremely rough and haphazard, with the lattice being much too large to be built before reset without a decent amount of outside help and _Etta failing to take account the significant drop in placing speed due to being on vacation during the last week of the canvas. Despite this, the entire lattice was completed with the help of various users, most notably hazard12100 and reissecup, and Solvernia was even able to expand to fill in the last remaining area of the purple square before reset. After being defeated by the Trollge Confederacy Bi Faction attempted to relocate onto the dormant outline of a personal project of _Etta's, but was repulsed and her personal project was added to Solvernia's main template. By the end of the canvas, despite Solvernia's intention to go significantly smaller than their territory on Canvas 62, their territory ended up being more than 5,000 pixels larger than on the previous canvas. This was also the first canvas where _Etta didn't place more than half of Solvernia's template.
