Silverfalls

Located on the banks of the river Silverlight amongst the central plains of Avalon, Silverfalls has risen from the crumbled remains of its former glory, Springdale.

Founded on the 5th of Eleuthral, 1293 by Princess Chasity.

Founding History

Silverfalls, city of the Rampant Lion, was born in the year 1268 under the terms of Armistice treaty 59-61 between Princess Chasity of the war razed Springdale and Prince Trakea of Thakria with scant resources, no guilds, and a tiny citizenry. On the 5th day of Eleuthral in the year 1293, after much work and dedication by its founding members, and having surpassed the terms required of them, Silverfalls was declared a City in Full.

Introduction

Silverfalls boasts of their commitment to fighter prowess, imposing stringent new-citizen criteria, as none are automatically accepted into citizenship. Silverfalls follows neither the ideals of good or evil, but rather prefer fighting against their own causes of perceived corruption with all the characteristics of the Lion: Intimidation, Strength, Courage, Fearlessness, and unbendable Loyalty to their Pride.

History

The gatekeeper to the buried ruins of old Springdale, sister city to the falls, can be found on the paved roadway leading west out of their city gate. Silverfalls considers themselves a city of the shadows as much of the city design is indoors, and built into the caverns of the Northern Highlands behind the great Waterfalls of the Silverlight river. Such purposeful shadows serving as refuge from un-welcomed elements.

Count Athelstone, Monarch of Falls and noble Clansman from the Northern Highlands, can often be found overlooking the the Majesty of the City on the Glorious Balcony inside the Silverfalls City Tower. Young Betsy can still be found playing by the city walls near the city docks. And Iskandar, the beloved Novice Tutor, can be found looking after the cities young misfits and orphans in the locale Orphanage hidden behind the waterfalls cavern ledge, near the small park over looking the Silverlight.

War Record

Silverfalls' expansion to the west brings it into opposition with Thakria's sphere of influence. For the early decades of its new-found city status Silverfalls trod a neutral passive line, avoiding conflict with its neighbour city states.

To the east Silverfalls face a less menacing prospect in the battle to expand its sphere of influence. Parrius remains smaller than its neighbour city-states and Silverfalls have taken advantage of this to push their legions into what was previous Parrian territory. Though the Parrians have renewed their military efforts on their western and northwestern borders the Silverfallians still hold the numerical advantage. Skirmishes continue to crop up on a regular basis but as yet no full-scale conflict has ensued.
