Sil'va

Sil’va is a temperate, green country with lots of plains and forests located on the northwestern side of Solaurum, sharing much of its landmass with Sung-Luc on its eastern border. It is an area with a heavy concentration of aether, making it perfect for any sort of nature to flourish regardless of the time of year.

Geography

Topography

Sil'va's natural landscape is comprised of temperate woodlands characterized by a mix of very tall coniferous and deciduous trees; including redwood, aspen, hawthorn and larch. There are shrubs scattered around everywhere coming in a variety of species such as berry-bearing, perfumed and even medicinal. Vast temperate grasslands are also plentiful in the region, truly a sight to behold when the wind hits and make them look like Sil'va's very own golden seas. These grasslands are host to several large cities and towns within the region.

The climate is on the slightly warmer side, so Frost and Auburn are not that harsh with the cold. But it does snow in higher elevations, especially on the high cliffsides. Though no matter the weather Sil'va is always windy, light breezes constantly flow through the lands, turning into violent gales during storms.

Aether such as earth and water are present in the environment, but wind is without a doubt the most abundant. Aether is dense enough to occasionally condense into crystals, which are in turn mined and used as resources for locals. Many crystals are also sold for coin. The Adventurer’s Guild sources most of its aether crystals from this region.

It has been documented in some extremely dry seasons that fire aether becomes slightly more prevalent, sometimes leading to forest fires that might become huge in scale due to the wind if not taken care of quickly.

Notable Locations

Silverpool

On the westmost side of the region lies a large island with a massive hole in it called Silverpool. People say that you can always see the moon reflected in it no matter the time of day. Some local legends even say if you drink a certain amount of the spring water, your memories will slowly flood away.

Heartsford Cliff

Town located on a cliff at the edge of Sil'va. A large settlement with a rough estimate of 10,000 residents, mostly populated by elvaaris. Known for its tehmos tea with unique aether restoring properties. Home to the Oulieus and Ballahast families.

People and Society

Prevalent Races

Sil'va's population is composed in its majority by elvaari, though a large amount of sectums and featherfolk also habit the territory, perhaps drawn in by their race's favor to the country's environment teeming with wind aether. Some fleur have also come to call Sil'va home, however they seem to prefer staying in the very depths of the woodlands.

Due to the heavy presence of elvaari in the region, Sil’va has many customs that involve the idea of giving back to the land after taking something from it.
