Sonnevar was a Walschorer settlement centered on the island of Nieuw Madeuwe, in a distant world long forgotten by time.

The first three buildings of the town.

Sonnevar was founded after a map reset. P_P_A had proposed the seed for the new map, and when it was actually accepted, the instant the server went online, he boarded a boat and sailed towards a promising chain of islands. He christened the largest of them “Nieuw Madeuwe”, and founded on it the town of Sonnevar.

The first building was a windmill on the Eastern tip of the island, followed soon by P_P_A's house, a smithy, and a Pokémon Center, all in the West. The town's biggest building was to be the Pokémon gym, built in Gothic style. It would never be used as such as P_P_A was too lazy to build a team, but one or two friendly battles took place there.

North of Nieuw Madeuwe on a rocky island, a person named Zezzler founded the prosperous city of Cliffshore. It was connected to Sonnevar by an underwater tunnel, which branched off towards the domed city of Rapture, built by some other guys.

During the weeks that followed, Sonnevar expanded to outlying islands. A lighthouse was erected on the easterly Houtvels Island, and on an unnamed rock south of Nieuw Madeuwe another windmill was constructed. To make the island more easily accessible to the many tourists who visited its sunflower plains in search of the rare Rayquaza, the town gained a small port. It would become the dock of the “Walschor”, which ferried users between Nieuw Madeuwe and the Hub Island. The ship now lies anchored at the new spawn on Alpha's Realm.

Over time, the server became bloated with unnecessary mods, and P_P_A neglected the island. One day the map was reset, and Sonnevar was never seen again.

A map of the region.

Sonnevar's main island was Nieuw Madeuwe, covered in sunflower plains in the East and a forested hill in the West. The town was situated under the eastern hill; together with its fertile fields it covered perhaps two fifths of the island. Surrounding Nieuw Madeuwe were various smaller islands, most too small to inhabit but one: eastwards lay Houtvels, dominated by its lighthouse, and a small house on the eastern shore.

Sonnevar was a popular tourist destination, as the legendary Rayquaza was rumoured to descend upon its sunflower plains someday. A hotel hosted the many visitors who lay in wait for it every day, and the town's vast fields produced bread, potatoes, and carrots to feed them. Unfortunately, the rare Pokémon never appeared.

Besides P_P_A and his Pokémon (a Vileplume, a Chandelure, a Jolteon, and a Stantler) one other person moved in to the town during a period of absence by P_P_A. They inhabited an empty house, and their name has since been forgotten.

Sonnevar was undoubtedly a child of the Walschor nation, and its architecture bore a strong resemblance to Voelhaven's and Noord Wortland's. Houtvels's lighthouse was based on the one that stood on Exile Island prior to the Battle of Madeuwe.
The experimental approach of Sonnevar's urban planning would later influence the village of Weitenbosch.
