Sylvanath
Where the Forest Remembers.
Sylvanath rests along Arcadia’s eastern border, a vast forest nation where life and decay breathe as one. Beneath towering canopies of sentient trees and luminous glades, elves, dryads, centaurs, and satyrs live in harmony with the wild. The air hums with old magic, and the forest seems aware, ever-shifting as though it remembers what once was and dreams of what might yet come.
The Nature of Sylvanath
Sylvanath’s heart beats within endless woodland; ancient groves, sunlit meadows, and crystal streams sustained by the will of the forest. The capital, Sylvandale, sprawls around the roots of an enormous living tree, its palace and streets woven from living wood. Throughout the land, sacred meadows bloom as gathering places for festivals, and the whispering trees watch over all who dwell beneath their boughs.

Society and Rule
Sylvanath is a pure monarchy, ruled by Queen Titania, a shapeshifting elven sovereign bound to the life of the forest. Her rule is upheld by a circle of lords and ladies, beings of forest and fae who embody Sylvanath’s many realms.
Lord Oberon, a dryad, governs the great woods; Lady Luna, a satyr, oversees the waterways and diplomacy; and Lord Aiden, a centaur, leads the Hunt. Together they preserve harmony across Sylvanath’s biomes, advised by druids, treants, and the queen’s own kin. Titania rules not through fear, but through empathy; her people seeing her not only as monarch, but as guardian of the forest’s soul.
Mysteries and Threats
Beneath Sylvanath’s beauty lies unease. A spreading forest blight blackens once-living trees, resisted by rangers and druids who cannot find its cause. Rumors whisper of a sentient fungus creeping through the roots, and of alien creatures slipping from unseen rifts. The Blight Druids claim the decay is sacred renewal, a belief that divides the realm.
Beyond the canopy, dwarves from Ironhold encroach upon the borders, while legends speak of artifacts and portals buried in the forest’s depths.
