Silver Tree Forest

The Silver Tree Forest is one of the greatest forests on Gernon, and is the principal home of the Southern Elves.
==Geography and Nature==
The Forest is situated in the south east of the Continent, taking up much of the land between the Dorry Hills and the Spice Coast. It is a deciduous forest, and is named for the abundance of Silver Birch and Silver Maple trees, though dozens of species are found. The forest is very peaceful, with very few powerful magical creatures or megafauna living in it.
==History==
The forest has been involved with the lives of Gernans for many centuries. Many villages from the northern Spice Coast and the Southern Dorry Hills border the forest, and have used the wood and produce for all of that time. Several times in ancient history the Spice Kings and Silver Kings have fought over control of the forest, especially to gain hunting rights for the nobility. In approximately 390 b.s.r., a major exodus of elves from the Whispering Woods moved to the forest. These elves (later known as the South Elves) were notable for being much more liberal than their brethren in the north. There were conflicts with the spicers and dorians over the move, but the magical prowess and ability to hide in the deep forest enabled the elves to begin constructing their civilization. The region has remained amazingly stable after the Scientarian Revolution due to the Scientarian leaders coming from the forest, and the complete lack of counterattacks by magical forces on the Tellumnar's home.
==Cities==
Several major settlements have been built within the forest, though some have never been seen by outsiders.
Tear: The capital city of the Silver Tree Forest. It is somewhere deep in the forest, and it used to be a great secret of the forest. Since its inclusion into the wider Scientarian Society, and as a stopping point on the Trans-Gernon Railway, it has become a much more inclusive city.
