Silvenglow

Silvenglow is a vertical marvel built into the massive trunks and sprawling canopies of thousand-year-old trees. Suspended walkways of woven living wood connect various districts, while the forest floor is a maze of bioluminescent flora. Gravity-defying architecture defines the skyline, with homes and markets carved directly into the bark or hanging like massive lanterns from the branches. It is a city that breathes with the forest, glowing softly in the twilight of the deep woods.

History

Founded during the Age of Sprouting, Silvenglow began as a druidic sanctuary for those fleeing the expansion of industrial empires. It evolved into a major trade hub after the discovery of mana-crystals within the Silversun River. The city has survived several sieges by relying on the forest itself to provide natural camouflage and defensive growth, cementing its status as an untouchable sylvan fortress.

Age of SproutingThe Great AwakeningThe first titan-trees were sung into existence by the original druid circle.

Age of IronThe Scorch WarInvading forces were repelled when the forest floor suddenly grew ten feet of thorns.
