Silva

Silva or Ghaba Muradi, is one of the four continents in the mapped world. Its lands spread out across the entire south.

Geography
Silva is bordered by Talvi Mäa in the west at Frostrain Peaks. On the northern coast it is bordered by the Ocean to the South, further east by the Eastern Sea, and further west by the West-End Deep. The isle of the Claw lies close to the trading city of Tajiri.

Almost the entirety of Silva is densely forested, rainy, and hot. Many jungles appear in the eastern and central parts. The western part is full of rivers from the mountains and wild animals. The Sultanic Mountains seperate the jungles from the steppes in the west. In the midst of these impassable and treacherous peaks lies the royal palace of the Sultan of Silva, a place where no man or woman may enter unless they have sultanic blood. The largest city, Al-Rah, lies where the Sultanic Mountains meet the Ocean to the South.

The northeastern coast has many small and large islands along its length such as the Goldrock Isles and the large, peaceful island of Jamila, or the Isle of Sunshine.

People
The men and women of Silva are described as dark-skinned, often stout, and either extremely rich or extremely poor due to unfair organization of trade and distribution of profit. The richest of the realm live in the backwoods and on the edge of or in the Sultanic Mountains. The poorest often seek out the cities for work: Al-Rah is regularly called the poorest city in the world. Tajiri, however, is still quite rich because of its ideal position for trade with the other continents. Their lips are thick and their teeth blindening white. Where the women have filled cheeks, the men of this continent have taut cheekbones and jaws.

The further you travel south in Silva, the more barbaric its people become. In the most southern jungles and steppes, evil gods are often worshipped and dark rituals performed. This is partly why Silva is the least visited continent of the four, a lot of people are simply scared to go there, even after the year of doom of Talvi Mäa.
