The Silvans practice their worship in shrines representing the mighty four, typically at dawn, while lying on one's knees. Prayer takes place most commonly after directly killing an animal or human, specifically to the goddess Fauna, while touching the diseased being. All Silvans are allowed to claim property when they come of age and perform the act of praying to Atterizamos. Though often very large in total population, Silvan communities contain small family trees, typically housing 2 children, with advanced infrastructure. Most importantly, Silvans value their weapons like family as they are seen to be gifts from Venandi. Traditionally, a bow or axe is chosen from a young age for a child to begin how to yield before maturity. If chosen, some townspeople can wield a Trident, rumored to be given only to those in close relation with Neptus. Weapons used by adult Silvans must be forged from their own hand in respect of the gods and deities they serve. Tight fit, movable clothing is worn to allow the Silvans to hunt whenever they need. The sacred colors of the people are Green and Silver to represent the hero Venandi's sigil, the Silver Stag. Due to the discovery of the arcane being recent compared to the discovery of the God's most Silvans are conflicted on how to use them if at all.

=== Old Silvan ===
Old Silvan is an ancient language that is spoken fluently today by only two high Silvan officials. Old Silvan despite its name was formed in Pre-Silvan times before the tribal era. Old Silvan would evolve into 3 different languages those being Samuese, Navlis, and Fangi English. Samuese was lost after the destruction of Samu with the only native speaker left being Venandi. Navlis is a form of Old Silvan still used today, it was Old Silvan modified and altered to be able to fit in with arcane spell casting easier. Fangi English is mostly what modern Silvan natives speak which is the Silvan English Dialect. Old Silvan is made up of 86 consonants and 28 vowels that would string together in the same way as Fangi English. Old Silvan comprised of the same type of numbering system as modern Fangi English going from 1 to 10 then having additional words for Hundred and Thousand. The language oftenly used the same words in different contexts to describe different things.
=== Modern History ===
One year ago on June 30th 2021 the town of Romanus Silva was reformed under the leadership of Tartarus and Midnight who had the town join the nation of the FCA where it still is. Upon joining the nation Tartarus and Midnight made a stride to formalize the FCA senate and were successful in creating a functional government. This was the town of Romanus Silva at its highest point since the fall of Ditso in the Federation era, Romanus Silva made up a large portion of the FCA politically and population wise. The Silvan architects of Romanus Silva would soon start working on the creation of two religious builds those being the Temple to the Gods and the Silver Stag Statue dedicated to Venandi in hopes of his return. Tartarus would go on to lead the FCA military while giving ownership of Romanus Silva to his fiance Midnight. While exploring Tartarus would stumble upon the remains of building in a cave and upon entering it he had discovered the boots that legends had told of for over a thousand years, Venandi's boots. Tartarus would share this information with Midnight before another situation would arise. Romanus Silva as well as some other towns had discourse within the FCA senate which led to the destruction of the FCA splitting into the Kingdoms of Arith and Federation of Arith. Romanus Silva was the capital of the KOA and for many it made them miss the peace and prosperity of the FCA but for others it reminded them of the conqueror Ditso and they thirsted for power. This would cause something far more dangerous to arise though.

The Great Alathran war had many battles but one of these said battles was a battle at Romanus Silva where the enemy purposefully tried to desecrate the Religious buildings. The enemy nation Elyria would end up destroying large parts of Romanus Silva and with it the population with it being detrimental for survival.
