Silver Valley City is the capital of Eliland, and the primary settlement of the OBW 5 server. The city was formed after The Move and is home to dozens of businesses and residents. It is largely regarded to be the most developed city in Eliland. The city has also been the capital city of all national governments that have ruled during OBW 5.

## Founding

The land on which Silver Valley City now sits was initially canvassed in the early days of OBW 5, when BrokenHerobrine was tasked with finding a suitable area to succeed Desertview. Traveling on horseback, his initial expedition yielded promising results. Subsequent expeditions confirmed the location as suitable for a new settlement, and Eliland Iceway-1 was built to facilitate the moving of players.

The location was chosen because of its similarities to Birch Ridge, which many consider to have been one of the greatest cities of OBW. For example, the new location had similar features like its location on a river, the surrounding mountains, and the nearby taiga.

The city was officially given its name on January 9th.

## Areas & Neighborhoods

Silver Valley is subdivided into a number of diverse and vibrant districts.

### Jason Park

    Jason Park, also called Old Town, was the original start of Silver Valley. It is where players first built their houses when the city was settled, and has largely remained a quiet, suburban area.

### Industrial Park

The Industrial Park was the next area developed in Silver Valley, expanding the city's footprint eastward. As its name suggests, it is the home of numerous industrial factories and warehouses. Newer construction expanded this district's footprint across the Silver Valley River.

### Space Shore

Around the same time as Industrial Park was developed, so was Space Shore. Though it is not as densely built, Space Shore is home to several space companies for which its name was given. It is also the site of XXXTentacion's Mausoleum, which draws many visitors every year.

### Downtown

    Later expansion of the city moved south from the Industrial District, forming what is now Downtown. It began with the large National Mall around which many government offices and buildings are located. With the completion of the first skyscraper, SpaceseX Tower, a new era began and a dense, urban city center formed below the Mall.

### West Silver Valley

    Originally part of Jason Park, the area of West Silver Valley was separated due to its exceedingly poor land value and destitution. Its downfall began with the bombing of the Dillydome, the remains of which were never repaired. Over time, government projects attempted to revitalize the area, while competing interests took advantage of cheap land to build cheap housing and even a garbage dump. Eventually, the area became a poor and destitute hood.

### Cherrywood

Located far to the east of Jason Park, Cherrywood began as a rural farm area, with a barn and farm house. Over time, the area became a nicer suburb of Silver Valley, with a country club and church beautifying the area.

### Apollo Square

Situated just east of downtown, Apollo Square is an affluent urban neighborhood for the educated, and working professionals of Silver Valley. The neighborhood is home to the University of Silver Valley, and as well features expensive hotels and good eats.
