==== Venandi's Tale ====
In the year 'e'sosu ugata the tribes of Fangi, Gboto, and Samu came under attack of the arcane and monster horde under Occidere's fist. The tribes were far too primitive to handle such an invasion yet took up arms. The first battle resulted in the total annihilations of the Samu tribe and its people and many thought that they would be next. Fangi, the largest tribe, was next to be attacked but they would be ready as the sole survivor of the Samu tribe was a man by the name of "Oni 'ikpa Venandi". As the horde marched on Fangi the leader Occidere himself stepped forward before the gates of Fangi demanding the submission of the people. The soon to be hero Venandi stepped forward outside the gate opposing Occidere and challenged the unknown god to a battle on the terms that if he won Occidere would leave the tribe eternally. The duel began after the redicule of Venandi whom used his bow and superior athleticism to take down Occidere stopping just before attempting to kill the god Occidere admitted defeat and left with the horde. Venandi continued on to live near the ruins of Samu and was hailed as a hero while any nuissance in life was referred to as "Occidere" by the ancient silvans. However many prevalent stories would happen across the next two hundred years as people kept seeing what they believed to be Venandi in the forest watching over the people.
=== Silvan tribe unification ===
One thousand years after the disappearance of Venandi the tribes of the forest has significantly advanced culturally and technologically with the discovery of the arcane magics and with such advancements this had called for major political reformation. The current tribes at the time were Fangi, Gboto, Tsubamo, Susha, and Sasheso although Fangi and Susha were the most prosperous. In the year 'e'igi tasosu 'eta the Fangi tribe had elected a radical leader by the name of Ditso that had a dream of a united forest tribe nation and he called it Silva the Old Silvan name that people used to describe the gods, or in other words "all powerful". Ditso successfully was able to convince Gboto join Fangi under the banner of the Silvan Federation which would be represented by a Golden Stag which most considered sacrilegious. Fangi would go on to rename its self to "Romanus Silva". Over the course of the next 6 years Ditso had united all the tribes except Sasheso due to how far north it was and the distance from Romanus Silva, Ditso would grow increasingly worried as his 8 year term as leader was almost over and his dream was not yet realized. Ditso then resorted to drastic measures and used arcane magicians combined with canons to blow down the walls around Sasheso to attempt to force them to join the Federation, Sasheso would hold out until two weeks before Ditso's term was over before the Sasheso Lord came out and surrendered himself to the Federation. Once the armies returned to Romanus Silva on the final day of Ditso's term the civillan population would learn of what Ditso had done and would riot through the streets. These riots caused Silvan extremists to call for Ditso's term to be illegally extended while others opposed them. The rioting went on for a week before Ditso put himself under self imposed exile and left the nation he had created.
