Sylvaranth

Sylvaranth rises from the riverbanks like a sleeping dragon of glass and stone. Its crystalline spires catch the light, shifting colors from lunar blue to solar gold as the day progresses. The city is divided into vertical tiers, with the most ancient elven houses occupying the highest peaks. Natural flora is integrated into every balcony, creating a living tapestry of white blossoms and glowing vines that drape over the massive moon-colored walls.

History

Founded during the Age of Petals, Sylvaranth was built around the Convergence Source. For a thousand years, House Lightdreamer has guided its growth, fostering the Academy of the Radiant Quill. It survived the Shattered Night by cloaking itself in lunar mist. Today, it stands as the pinnacle of arcane and martial excellence, serving as a neutral ground for the continent's most powerful families.
