			The project highlighted plans to create a revolutionary game and bring heroes from different realms<ref name=":1" />. The project's roadmap included a plan to reach 100,000 members in their Discord community before moving forward<ref name=":1" />.

			In terms of game development, we have


			To progress the completion bar and receive rewards such as 3x airdrops, collaborations with four players, solo demos, and $Solaknight token airdrops, you can mint more Solaknights.

	~~Starting~~ with ~~the first clue~~. ~~His discord ID~~.		There will be a total of 20,000 characters: 10,000 Solaknights of the 0th generation, unique characters without weapons, priced at 1 SOLANA each. The planned second batch of 10,000 knights will be equipped with gear from distant lands. These knights are well-trained, having honed their skills in military camps in distant towns. As their owner, leader, and comrade, you will guide these honorable knights. They can serve as your main character, help you in battles, act as merchants with discounts on their specialties, and even be sent on missions to purchase goods worldwide.

	~~Searching google~~.		In Solaknights, we have integrated the characters with Unreal Engine 4/5. By owning a Solaknight, you officially partner with the Solaknights Academy. Import them at your leisure, utilize them to your advantage, and even exchange their equipment to create a stronger individual army if you desire. Resources come from Synty Studios, and further customization will be released once our 3D designers/modelers are up and running. Many assets will serve as placeholders during development, with NFT updates to follow. If needed, ask the admin for any license/credit inquiries.

	~~The most decisive thing~~. ~~This is solaknights game~~.		Solaknights Academy has gained many partners to bring our knights online. We have formed an alliance with Dipes, who has given us the power of Chris P. Bacon, a farting pig that not only slaughters enemies with its stench but also with harsh words. We have obtained magical allies from Solana Curtis, who has trained in water magic. Solana Curtis now offers our knights the opportunity to acquire water magic allies! Gradually, leaf, fire, holy, and dark allies will be available.

	~~It's the same~~ as ~~the game below.Link~~.		Each Solaknight will have a rare type labeled on them, indicating their rarity. Certain rare items come with privileges. Higher rarity levels bring better privileges, item discounts, real estate, airdrops, weapons, and more. The order is as follows: White: Common, Green: Uncommon, Blue: Rare, Red: Super Rare +5% (all items), Purple: Epic +10% (all items), Orange: Legendary +20% (all items), Pink: Artifact +30% (all items), Baby Pink: ???.

	~~Find his name.His name is Rohan Sareen. I can check the game tasks.~~

	~~Searching Rohan Sareen~~

	~~Graduated from that school~~

	~~He is still active.~~

	~~Find him.~~

	~~As a result, thousands of people lost their sol, and I also lost dozens of sols."~~
