== Introduction ==
The Silvan people, children and guardians of the Forest, worship nature and her beauty endlessly as they pursue selfless, yet meaningful lives. Omnia provides the Silvans with protection from harm through her brothers and sisters regulation of their material world. Ancient in text, the Silvan religion contains many prayers and songs worshipping the mighty four and above all, Venandi, the children of the forest's savior. Through his guarantee of safety with his boots and bow, Silvans no longer live in fear, but in prosperity and might.

[[File:TempleSilva.JPG|thumb|The Temple of the Gods at Romanus Silva]]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. 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. 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.
The architecture and design of Silvan towns is something of up most importance when settling as they attempt to include nature into it as much as possible while keeping it methodical slow planning for quality over quantity which they do because they think that if they used the God's resources to create ugly buildings the God's would be angered at them specifically Atterizamos would be mad. Tight fit, movable clothing is worn to allow the Silvans to hunt whenever they need especially during the summer. The sacred colors of the people are Green and Silver to represent the hero Venandi's sigil, the Silver Stag. During the winter Silvans typically wear all black clothes with wolf furred coats. To some Silvans it is very important to change their attire depending on many things such as if it is a full moon, if the sun is up, non-animal clothing, etc. however most modern Silvans wear the same thing year long. Music is not very important to the Silvans the only types of instruments that exist in the culture are small string instruments that mostly used just for weddings, funerals, and other holidays. The Silvans are staunch believers that they shouldn't try to think about the afterlife but most think that they become one with nature after dying although some extremists think dying in combat is admirable.
