===The City State of Sylverda===
Nestled in the dense forests of northern Aukroa, the city of Sylverda has always prided itself on living in harmony with its surroundings. The city sprawls through clearings in the Mother Forest and many small streams flow through it. Wood is the preferred material for construction, and living trees as sometimes shaped to serve as structural elements. Stone and metal are used where they must be.

Rather than fields of crops, and herds of animals, Slyverdans blend their food crops and game with the forest. Fruit bearing trees, berry-bearing bushes, mushrooms, and various vegetables and beans grow all around the city, free for all to harvest under the guidance of the Foresters. Herds of deer, sheep, and boars call the forest home. Hunting is likewise managed by the Foresters, with all citizens permitted to hunt as needed, or to sell their spoils to those that can't hunt.

The Wardens of the Foresters serve as what standing military Sylverda has, though most citizens are adept enough to bows or spears to make effective skirmishers, particularly on their home ground.

The city-state is governed by the the Lady Ve'meehta, cat-beastkin high druid of Ymalia, goddess of the natural cycle, Lord Tsyramak, brass dragonborn commander of the Foresters, and Lord Hvelien, wood elf master of the Unbroken Circle, the assembly of mages. The Three are advised on all matters by the Elders of the nine wards of the city and the various outlying villages. Ve'meetha is Currently the First of the Three, having been in her position longer than the other two.

The residents of the city are mostly humans, landkin, beastkin, and elfkin predominantly; elves, wood elves and eldarin, but also some shadow elves who hail from the deepest, darkest part of the forest; and dragonborn, brass, copper, green, and black being the most common. All of the other peoples of the world can be found within Sylverda, but not in great numbers.

The most common mounts and beasts of burden are domesticated axe-beaks, who are better suited to the root tangled terrain of the Mother Forest than horses.
