Sylves are beings that have undergone renewal by Sylnae's power, and henceforth exist in a state of cyclical immortality—living, dying, and being reborn once more from the fruit of a tree or other plant that grows where they died.

The idea of Sylves has existed for a while but I only recently got around to designing some! I also expanded the history of how the Arbor of Renewal came to be.

Origins of the Arbor of Renewal

Freios was an ancient magical civilization established in 1473 BCE. It existed around the North side of the Mediterranean Sea, and at its peak spanned a large region towards the East. Its aesthetics and architecture resemble ancient Greece or Rome, though with more fantasy elements. The library that became Istor was part of Freios, and Ifrei is a preserved fragment of Freios, though its culture does not perfectly reflect the original civilization after so many years of Istor's influence.

Yuanxu (原序, "Primal/Original Order"), was an ancient magical civilization established established in 1252 BCE, East Asia. The core of the civilization was fairly small, with a highly orderly and refined culture that made use of advanced magical rituals kept under tight secrecy to maintain power. Over the years, it developed a vassal network of loyal nation-states that provided both trade and military power to support Yuanxu and each other. Some elements of its culture are preserved by Sylves originating from their core order who live to the present day. 

Around 1050 BCE, Freios began major eastern expansion, conquering intermediate kingdoms. By 1020 BCE, Freios began encroaching on vassal states under Yuanxu's reign, and the Yuanxu government mobilized the vassal states' military forces in response. 

Freios, in turn, delivered an ultimatum: to surrender or be conquered. The vassal states, still loyal to Yuanxu, refused—but in the face of Freios's magic-enhanced forces (where Yuanxu kept their magic under lock and key), they fell quickly. Yuanxu began dispatching core members of their order to the battlefield; their powers were great, but many of them fell or faced debilitating injuries after felling countless soldiers. 

Eventually, Yuanxu's vast network of vassal states was in shambles, and Freios, too, had suffered immense losses that would be difficult to recover from. The remaining members of Yuanxu's original order decided to launch a suicide mission, with nothing to lose. 

The final confrontation of this war took place in 1003 BCE. The last of Yuanxu's armies faced the tattered remnants of Freios's forces. As the battle reached its peak, blood shed upon the ground from both sides, the core members of Yuanxu's order completed a ritual. In mere moments, a magical force swept through the battlefield, with every living being caught in the pulse having their life drained. 

In the aftermath, there was nothing left of Yuanxu, and Freios had lost not only its offensive power, but also its defensive power. Over the next few years, Freios would fall to bandits and other invaders; what was left of the vassal states of Yuanxu would be overtaken by the societies that came after. 

Only a few days later, though, Sage (who would become Sylnae) arrived at the site of the battle. It was there that she underwent the Renewal, creating the Arbor of Renewal. The fallen soldiers, animals, and others caught in the fatal ritual magic would, in time, become the first Sylves, their lives begun anew.

thymara’s boy drama part1/???

Ever since they'd left Trehaug, he'd slept as close to her as she would allow him. One morning she'd awakened to find him snuggled up against her back, his arm around her waist and his head pillowed against her. The warmth had been welcome, but not the awakening to sniggers. Kase and Boxter had teased them relentlessly. Rapskal had grinned rakishly but uncertainly; she suspected he wasn't quite sure what the joke was. She'd resolutely ignored them. She told herself that Rapskal's need to be near her had more to do with a kitten's desire to sleep close to something familiar than any amorous intent. There was no attraction between them. Not that she would have acted on it if there had been. What was forbidden was forbidden. She knew that. They all knew that.

But she wondered if they all accepted it as deeply as she did.

rapskal is freaking me out because he’s described as being so intensely childlike, but he’s also clearly in the running in thymara’s love (lust?) quadrangle. so what’s up with that

but also, no, thymara, no one gives a fuck anymore except you. these teens have been banned from romance (and fucking) their whole lives and now they’re ready to throw caution to the wind

As Thymara rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she tried not to notice who slept adjacent to whom, nor to wonder what any of it meant. After all, everyone had to sleep somewhere. If Jerd always spread her blankets next to Tats, it could simply mean that she felt safe sleeping beside him. And if Greft always found an excuse to try to engage her in talk when the others were getting ready to sleep, it might mean only that he thought she was intelligent.

She watched Sedric's eyes dart from Greft to Tats, and suddenly knew he was wondering just who was in charge here. Of her. She felt a flush of anger at both of them. It made her sharp. "Thank you, Tats, but I said I'd do it and I will. I don't need anyone's help. Or permission."

she’s right to be pissed off because all the boys/men in her vicinity are stupid as fuck at least 50% of the time.

Thymara had met him only briefly, but she already liked him. He was a man who worked. It showed on his weathered face and capable hands, and even on his worn clothing. He looked at her directly when he spoke to her, and even when he had first met the dragon keepers, he hadn't flinched at the sight of them. It was too soon for her to say she trusted him, but she doubted that he would deliberately deceive anyone. She valued that.

oy vey. you know, leftrin is almost certainly not a love interest for her, but i kind of cringe whenever thymara has a positive opinion of a man because then i think another complication is being added to her life. he’s definitely a big fat liar though

The keepers, including Thymara, had hastened to their small boats and followed. She had hoped to be paired with Tats. It had been a selfish hope; he was well muscled and experienced with small bats and she knew he would do his share of the work and perhaps more. Jerd had been waiting at the shore, standing by one of the small boats. She waved cheerily at Tats as they arrived and called out to him, "I've already loaded your rucksack, slowcoach. Let's go! Your green dragon was one of the first ones into the water."

"Sorry, Thymara,"Tats had muttered, red-faced.

are tats and jerd already fucking? because if so, that was quick. but i guess they are a bunch of teens starved for love and affection. whatever. i just wish thymara would acknowledge whatever the hell is going on between them (herself and tats, that is).

"Are you scared?" Rapskal sounded delighted at the prospect.

When she glanced over her shoulder at him, he turned his wide grin on her. When he smiled, all his strangeness seemed to melt away and he became simply a very handsome Rain Wild youth. She still shook her head at his challenge.

"Yes. I am scared," she replied firmly." And we are not going out into the current. Not until I'm better at managing this boat."

But suddenly, partnering with Rapskal instead of Tats did not seem such a poor trade.

because he’s hot?? girl get it together

The others traded off partners in their boats, but no one else ever offered to partner with Rapskal. Several of the other keepers had expressed interest in sharing a boat with her. Warken had asked her, and Harrikin. Sylve had suggested twice that they might travel together the next day. But each morning, there was Rapskal, sitting expectantly in the boat by the shore, waiting for her. She had thought of partnering with someone else, knowing that if she did someone would be forced to share a boat with him. But so far, she hadn't. Part of it was that they moved a boat very well together. And part of it was that his good nature and optimism were cheering to her at a time when she felt very much alone. Conversations with him might be odd and wandering, but he was not the lackwit that some of the others seemed to think he was. He simply came at life from a different angle. That was all.

are people avoiding him purely because he’s annoying? that seems unlikely, but again, things are pretty clique-y at the moment. still seems odd that even sylve won’t give him a chance. he seems sweet, if nothing else.

As plainly as if she had spoken the words aloud, Thymara saw that the girl was infatuated with the tattooed boy. It almost made her laugh, except that it was so disturbing. Sylve could not have been more than twelve, even if her pink-scaled scalp and copper eyes made her seem older. Didn't she know how hopeless it was for a girl like her to have a crush on someone like Tats? She could never have him; she could never have anyone, any more than Thymara could. What was she thinking?

But Thymara knew the answer to that, too. She wasn't thinking atall. Only yearning after a handsome young man who'd shown her kindness and made nothing of her differences. Thymara couldn't fault her. Hadn't she felt the same, sometimes?

Didn't she now?

She must have been looking at him strangely, because Tats suddenly flushed and said, "I wanted to help. There wasn't much I could do for the little copper one anyway. So I decided to put my time here.”

“didn’t she now?” and what do u mean by that. is a 12yo having a crush on your friend really going to be the impetus for thymara acknowledging her crush on tats?

As Leftrin watched the youths who should have been discarded as infants, he almost doubted the wisdom of the old ways. They seemed vigorous enough, if strange to look upon. He wished them well, boys and girls alike, and yet he hoped he would not see romance blossom. Allowing such folk to breed would go against every Rain Wild tradition. So far, he had seen no indication that any of the girls would allow such a transgression. He hoped it would remain so, even as he uneasily wondered if he had any responsibility to enforce the Rain Wild rules against them mating. "Well, Tarman, no one told me that was part of the contract. I know it's everyone's duty to honor the rules that keep us alive. But my grandpa used to tell me that everyone's job was nobody's job. So maybe I won't be blamed if I don't take that task on."

lol leftrin it is too late. i’m glad to know more people are questioning the rules, though. thymara seems to be the only one explicitly holding on to them

SILVELIA / SYLViE explained:

Silvelia also knownd as Sylvie is considered an albino golden.

Her age; height and weight is unknown(for now)

She can dive really deep in bodies of water with ease.

Her long fluffy tail can be used to swing on thick branches in the trees and is useful when she needs to balance.

She can withstand seeing an extremely cold environment and extremely haigh pressures(is theories that you can survive in space as well)

Usually she asserts her dominance through some type of crocodilean growling(the growlers can be produced in her lungs)

She has echolocation and if she goes blind in a fight or because of an unknown reason or if she is in a extremely dark in a room she can "see" perfectly through her echolocation.

Hands and claws:

(First off please Don't Judge my English)

She where's some gloves that don't have the tip of their fingers just to help her out with her think and strong claws.

Her claws I believe to be made out of an very cold substance produced in her. Her claws are nothing like T.G's claws(T.G's clows are basically pure metal) Sylvie's clothes are more robust and that cold substance on them also has a bit of poison produced in it.

Mouth and teeth:

Sylvie's teeth are more thicker a much more in bed in the skull then T.G's teeth.

Don't let the warm color inside her mouth fool you because the inside of her mouth is actually extremely cold(ther are 50% chance that she can freeze a person)

The gold tooth in her mouth was obtained after a fight with T.G. (T.G heated her in the mouth with one of her boots😅🤣)

Eye's:

She's able to see you really far.

Her eyes can clone the dark and she can light them up whenever she wants.

Same as her frend T.G she can see in: normal Vision; thermal vision; night division etc

She doesn't have anything else special about her eyes except that they grow up beautiful deep sea shade of blue when she uses her psychic powers.

Bonus:

Sylvie is all taller than T.G.

✨️Fun Facts✨️:

Sylvia loves to sleep like a chinchilla from time to time.

During the winter Sophie would stay around all of her friends and warm them up with the help of her flufy tail.

Her favorite food are pancakes specifically vanilla or chocolate flavored pancakes.

Sylvie favorite color is blue literally any type of shade of blue she loves it.

(Ignoring the flaws)

I'm just showing you her face just if you didn't see the makeup on her face.(her eyelashes are naturally grown)

She sometimes interest to make biscuits just like a kitty cat.

She loves to wear bird theme closed when at least a fatter pattern or a wink pattern on them.

Finally..........She is able to get high on catnip.
