Silveran Lore

Silveran has been described as a frozen kingdom, located presumably in the north of Ispar.<ref name=DearUncle>2005/09 Under Cover of Night - To My Dear Uncle</ref>

The Silverans are comparable to the real-world Norse/Vikings and their lands are north across the bay from Viamont, and NW of Aluvia.^{[Citation Needed]} The portals to Dereth have not shown up on their lands therefore no known Silverans have arrived in Dereth. It is assumed that any who have arrived have disguised themselves as any of the other four races.^{[Citation Needed]}

Contact with the Silveran was made mostly by the Viamontian and Aluvian, and mixed marriages did occur.<ref name=TournamentI>The Tournament Part I</ref><ref name=TournamentIII>The Tournament Part III</ref><ref name=Alfrega>1999/11 Release - The Reign of Alfrega</ref><ref name=DearUncle>2005/09 Under Cover of Night - To My Dear Uncle</ref> Also the Roulean must have had contact with the Silveran.<ref>2005/07 Throne of Destiny - Champion's Demise</ref> The saying "as far away as Silveran" comes especially from the view of the Gharu´ndim. <ref>2000/04 Thorns of the Hopeslayer - The Silifi of the Crimson Stars</ref>

History

On Ispar

The Silveran smiths masterfully constructed the Princely Runed Weapons, the Royal Runed Weapons and the Red Rune Silveran Weapons for the Viamontian King Varicci I. <ref name=PrinceRuneWeapon>2006/04 Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands - Princely Runed War Bow</ref><ref name=RoyalRuneWeapon>2006/05 The Price of Loyalty - Royal Runed War Bow</ref><ref name=RedRuneWeapon>2006/06 From the Darkest Depths - Red Rune Silveran Bow</ref><ref name=RunesTC>2006/04 Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands - Town Crier Rumors</ref><ref>2006/06 From the Darkest Depths - Tracking Grael</ref><ref>2006/06 From the Darkest Depths - Grael's Summoning Chamber</ref>

Silveran Oak was used as a material for the scabbard of high end weapons. <ref>The Invasion of Ispar</ref> Swords forged out of this wood were weilded by the Viamontian Lord Darren di Marden, Prince Renlen, Count Corcima and Eleonora du Bellenesse. The sword was infused with the magics of the north and strands of diamond-lace weaved about the blade of the weapon, granting it a strength equal to - and some say greater than - the finest Viamontian steel. No warrior could wield a sword the size of those Silveran blades for long without succumbing to exhaustion.<ref name=TournamentI>The Tournament Part I</ref><ref name=TournamentIII>The Tournament Part III</ref>

It was rumored that the Aluvian Queen Alfrega had Silveran blood. <ref name=Alfrega>1999/11 Release - The Reign of Alfrega</ref>

Eleonora du Bellenesse´s mother was a princess of the Silveran people and she herself was seventh in line for the throne of that frozen kingdom.<ref name=DearUncle>2005/09 Under Cover of Night - To My Dear Uncle</ref>

On Dereth

The portals to Dereth have not shown up on their lands therefore no known Silverans have arrived in Dereth.^{[Citation Needed]} It is assumed that any who have arrived have disguised themselves as any of the other four races.<ref>AC:DM CD Lore/Late Dereth Texts/The Frost King</ref>

What did appear on Dereth are the Princely and Royal Runed Silveran Weapons, brought at great expense to Dereth by the Viamontians and "stolen" and distributed. <ref name=RunesTC>2006/04 Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands - Town Crier Rumors</ref> Another tier of Silveran Weapons, the Red Runed Silveran Weapons are only available by joining one of the Viamontian factions, though also these weapons were supposed only to be distributed to Varicci II´s elite troops.<ref>2006/06 From the Darkest Depths - Town Crier Rumors</ref><ref>2006/06 From the Darkest Depths - Ulgrim Rumors</ref>
