The Silvan Kingdom was a Kingdom located in New Mewni, Mewni in the land surrounding The Spitfire volcano. It was destroyed at the end of 660 A.M. by the forces of Queen Solaria Butterfly.

### History

In 401 A.M., during the Second Mewnian War, the Wyvern Kingdom would invade the Oyster Kingdom and Fjord Kingdom for its alliance. This threat toward its sovereignty would surrender to the Wyvern Kingdom. The Kingdom would remain under Wyvern control until 405 A.M., where it would be surrounded by the Plague, Pumpkin, Meadow, Orange, Swan, and Maple Kingdoms. At the same time Prince Heron Spitfire, heir to the throne, would be engaged to Princess Jaena Wyvern in a political marriage. At the wedding Prince Heron would killed Queen Daena Wyvern, Queen Regnant of the Wyvern Kingdom. This would leave Malaena Wyvern to become Queen. Queen Malaena would then free the Spitfire Kingdom as well as the Oyster and Fjord Kingdoms and end its alliance with the Smith Kingdom. This is now seen as a premeditated event.

In 645 A.M., during the Spring Tournament of the Butterfly Queendom, Princess Melody Butterfly, daughter of Queen Vesper Butterfly, was caught flirting secretly with 10-year-old Crown Prince Matthias Spitfire. She was caught by her sister Solaria Butterfly after she received a warning by Prince Benifer Mukwald. Solaria was not pleased by the inappropriate touching by the two and reported the incident to her mother, The Queen. This is believed to be one of the reasons that Queen Vesper sent Melody to Elfendor Interdimensional University later. Solaria offered 400 silver pieces to anyone who knocked Matthias down in the squires jousts. Lord Dorian Fields, future King-Consort of Solaria, managed to do this, embarrassing Matthias. In 647 A.M., Matthias refused to attend the coronation of Solaria. Around this time Matthias was crowned King and married Rheaslysa Flamethrow. In 653 A.M., Melody would return to the Butterfly Queendom. Today it is accepted fact that Melody maintained contact with Matthias during her entire tenure in Elfendor. Matthias secretly invited her to stay in the Spitfire. Knowing Solaria would refuse to allow this, Melody lied to The Queen and claimed she wanted to explore the continent. Solaria allowed this. Melody returned in 657 A.M. and avoided telling stories of her adventures and when directly confronted only gave the most basic of information. In 659 A.M., Melody rejected the proposal of King Benifer Mukwald, saying her heart belonged to another. Solaria privately questioned her sister but was not convinced by her answer. Solaria became even more suspicious after it was revealed in 660 A.M., the week before the Spring Tournament, Melody had spent many nights outside the Butterfly Castle. Benifer Mukwald told Solaria about rumors that Melody had been meeting with a foreigner at the Crescent Moon Inn. Solaria would at first secretly observe Melody but would eventually follow her. Solaria would eventually discover Melody had marks of aggression on her, most likely inflicted by Matthias during his affair with her. Solaria ordered Melody to tell her who did this but Melody refused. Solaria then expelled Melody from her room. That night, Melody fled to Matthias who then fled to the Spitfire Kingdom. Solaria ordered a massive search for her sister. The search discovered the body of Rheaslysa Flamethrow wearing a cloak that belonged to Melody. Knowing now that it was Matthias who most likely was abusing her sister, she demanded the presence of him at her court. However, only the King's vassal lords, including Rheaslysa's father and brother. They were shown Rheaslysa's corpse and demanded to know Matthias's whereabouts, but only said they haven't seen him for two days. Solaria deduced that Matthias murdered his wife and kidnapped Melody. Solaria demanded all the Spitfire retinue she had access to be imprisoned. Solaria gathered the full Butterfly Army along with 500 mercenaries and marched toward for the Spitfire Kingdom.

The Butterfly forces defeated the Spitfire Army in a series of many battles which crippled their forces. The Butterfly Army destroyed castles, farms, and villages while Solaria and Dorian separately tracked down Melody. They discovered Melody's body. Solaria would eventually find Matthias and would enter into battle with him. He was easily defeated by Solaria without even using her magic. He reportedly said the words that Solaria said when she won her first fight ever "The beetles will feed on your eyes, the worms will crawl through your lungs, the rain will fall on your rotten skin, until nothing left of you is but bones." She then executed Matthias with his own sword. Solaria would have then used her magic to pull down a comet from the half belt Demetria to crash down into the Spitfire volcano causing mass destruction and the total destruction of the Kingdom. The citizens of the Kingdom would disperse in the surrounding kingdoms. Solaria ordered the execution of all Spitfire prisoners except those under the age of 9 who were placed under the care of Butterfly nobility. The father and brother of Rheaslysa were also spared.
