'''Silvaria''' is a former a [[Terandria|Terandrian]] Kingdom, notable for being the native home of [[Az’kerash|Az'kerash]].

== Geography ==
Silvaria was a small coastal nation, narrow and vertical in shape, located between [[Pheislant]] and [[Gaiil-Drome]]. In modern times, the lands it occupied are broken and desolate.

== History ==
Silvaria dates back from the days of the [[Hundred Families of Terandria|Hundred Families]] as a smaller kingdom, sometimes vassalized or conquered. It wasn't a formal member of the Dawn Concordat, but was an occasional ally.

During Perril Chandler's childhood and adolescence, Silvaria was a growing nation. It was at war with Pheislant and suffering the rampage of a Goblin Chieftain. Pheislant would start winning the war, blockading both of Silvaria's major port cities with its navy while their ground forces scored victories due to strategic blunders by Sivaria's [Strategists]. Pheislant later signed a punitive peace treaty that Silvaria acquiesced to, as northern aggression threatened the Dawn Concordat.

Silvaria later suffered from a plague, which threatened the kingdom with starvation. One city managed to fare well thanks to Perril Chandler, now a [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]] graduate and High Mage, who had the undead till the fields in place of the sick laborers. This caught the attention of King Redoris, who asked Perril to aid the rest of Silvaria. Perril and his apprentices spread their undead servants, allowing Silvaria to weather the crisis better than other nations.

Later, when four nations waged a war against the Dawn Concordat, Lady Bea led a force to aid them with King Redoris' blessing. This would lead to the famous stand of the Archmage of Death at Krawlnmak’s Pass. With a now-famous Archmage, Silvaria's reputation and power grew, and led a counterattack on the northern coalition of then eight kingdoms. Its army was joined by a relief army of [[Drakes]] and [[Golems]] led by Archmage [[Zelkyr Amerwing|Zelkyr]], Perril's friend. The northern coalition was forced to sign a peach treaty.

Later there was an event called the Uprisings of Left, where wealthier farmers employing undead labor objected to several increased taxes. The army's attempts to quell the rebellion only increased their numbers, as they were joined by [Soldiers] whose pay had been reduced due to Archmage Chandler's reputation preventing wars and conflicts for Silvaria. King Redoris mobilized a grand force of Silvaria's best forces loyal to him to crush the rebellion. Perril Chandler intervened to prevent a massacre by challenging the rebels to single combat. The rebels dispersed rather than answer the Archmage's challenge, and Perril then personally appealed for their clemency and to reduce the burden of the taxes.

Eventually, King Redoris grew increasingly envious of Archmage Chandler, who overshadowed his achievements and was a greater source of pride for the citizens. Seeking to undermine the Archmage, King Redoris pledged Silvaria to the coalition against the [[Demon Kingdom]], and sent Perril to [[Rhir]]. While he fought abroad, Redoris outlawed the undead in Silvaria, waging a smear campaign against them.

Perril's reputation at court dropped when he returned in defeat, and it was followed by rumours of sedition and treason. Afterwards, a cabal of [Necromancers] created a Wailing Pit, and the incident destroyed what good reputation he had left among the populace save for a few individuals.

As Archmage Chandler retreated to Wistram, Silvaria's good fortunes turned as impoverishment and corruption rose. Three years later, Redoris nearly died from swallowing a bone needle. He accused Perril of plotting against him. [Knights] of Silvaria arrested Perril, and not even his former friends rose to his defense. He was sentenced to death and executed the next day.

Ten years later, the Necromancer of Terandria rose and exacted his revenge on Silvaria, massacring hundreds of thousands and ending the kingdom.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-2/ Interlude - Paradigm Shift (Pt. 2)]</ref>

== Trivia ==
