### Silvea Forest

Silvea Forest is a place like no other, a testament to the harmonious coexistence of magical beings amid the strife of warring nations. In the depths of this ancient woodland, dryads and small circles of druids once thrived, maintaining the delicate balance of the natural world. However, the fate of Silvea Forest changed when Tomhol and Palmete, two extraordinary beings, crossed paths. Tomhol and Palmete, drawn together by fate and love, were the first to create what exists in the forest today. Their union brought forth two unique races, the fauns and the half-dryads. These beings, born of the love between a human and a dryad, have become the stewards of this enchanted realm, ensuring the harmony of life within the forest. Silvea Forest is inherently magical, as it has been since time immemorial. Life and magic intertwine within its boundaries, resulting in a place of profound beauty and wonder. The forest derives its name from a remarkable phenomenon. When the beings who call Silvea home experience intense emotions, the very heart of the forest seems to respond. It begins to shimmer and glow with a silvery radiance, creating a breathtaking spectacle of natural magic. The forest is not only home to fauns and half-dryads but also hosts a diverse array of creatures. Here, owlbears roam freely, and Teki's Unicorns, with their elusive and mystical presence, grace the woods with their beauty. Silvea Forest stands as a testament to the enduring power of love, the magic of the natural world, and the unique bonds formed between different races in the heart of a magical woodland.

#### Qilin

The Qilin is a unique and enigmatic fey creature that makes its home within the depths of the Silvea Forest. This chaotic being is inherently connected to the forest and maintains a strict distance from any strangers who dare to venture into its sacred land. Long ago, Qilin had Tratias cousins, but they tragically perished centuries ago, victims of relentless poachers. In appearance, the Qilin holds some resemblance to a deer, though its otherworldly features set it apart as a truly magical and rare creature. One of the most distinctive features of the Qilin is its long, flowing tail, which shimmers with an otherworldly beauty. Its tail is a symbol of the creature's connection to the magical energies of the forest. Additionally, Qilin possess long, flowing hair, often adorned with enchanting colors and patterns that reflect the magic of Silvea. The deer-like hooves of the Qilin allow it to move gracefully through the forest, as it treads lightly on the earth. Adorning the head of the Qilin are a pair of majestic deer antlers, an emblem of its connection to the natural world and its role as a guardian of the forest. These antlers are often intricately decorated with vibrant flora and fauna, showcasing the creature's affinity for the forest. One of the most striking features of the Qilin is its iridescent scales, which shimmer with an otherworldly radiance. These scales are said to possess a unique, magical quality, making them a prized material for various arcane spells. In the present day, there are very few Qilin left in the world. These majestic creatures have been hunted for their horns, which are sought after for their rarity and their significance in magical practices. Despite the dangers they face, the Qilin remain steadfast in their role as protectors of Silvea Forest, and those fortunate enough to encounter them are said to be blessed with good fortune and a deep connection to the magic of the woodland realm.

##### Black Qilin

The Black Qilin is a remarkably rare and unique variation of the Qilin, a creature already considered extremely uncommon. Encountering a Black Qilin is a once-in-a-lifetime event, as it is said that only one in a million Qilin possesses these distinctive traits. The most striking feature of the Black Qilin is its deep, obsidian-black coat, which shimmers with a dark, ethereal beauty. Unlike the typical Qilin, which often display a variety of vibrant and enchanting colors, the Black Qilin's dark hue stands out dramatically in the forest of Silvea. This unique coloration sets it apart as an exceptional and mysterious creature. As with its more common Qilin cousins, the Black Qilin possesses the long, flowing tail, deer-like hooves, and elegant antlers characteristic of its species. These features, when combined with its black coat, create an awe-inspiring sight that is both captivating and enigmatic. The scales of the Black Qilin, while sharing the same iridescent quality as other Qilin, take on a mesmerizing, dark shimmer, adding to its mystique. The Black Qilin is considered a symbol of extraordinary luck and rare magic. Its presence within the Silvea Forest is seen as a profound and unique connection to the enchanting realm of the fey. Encountering this rare creature is a momentous and sacred experience, and those who are fortunate enough to witness a Black Qilin are believed to be blessed with exceptionally good fortune and a profound connection to the magic of the forest.
