Silveran Lore

Silveran has been described as a frozen kingdom, located presumably in the north of Ispar.2005/09 Under Cover of Night - To My Dear Uncle
The Silverans are comparable to the real-world Norse/Vikings and their lands are north across the bay from Viamont, and NW of Aluvia. 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.
Contact with the Silveran was made mostly by the Viamontian and Aluvian, and mixed marriages did occur.The Tournament Part IThe Tournament Part III1999/11 Release - The Reign of Alfrega2005/09 Under Cover of Night - To My Dear Uncle Also the Roulean must have had contact with the Silveran.2005/07 Throne of Destiny - Champion's Demise The saying "as far away as Silveran" comes especially from the view of the Gharu´ndim. 2000/04 Thorns of the Hopeslayer - The Silifi of the Crimson Stars

Silveran Oak was used as a material for the scabbard of high end weapons. The Invasion of Ispar 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.The Tournament Part IThe Tournament Part III
