Silvan Kingdom

The Silvan Kingdom is one of the most influential kingdoms in all of Mewni with origins being traced back to the mewman expansion to the continent. Located in the Grasslands and near the Grove of Singing Trees.

### History

FThe early history of the Silvan Kingdom is very unknown and the stories that there are, are likely on fiction. However what many say is that the early settlers were overpowered by ancient invaders from the sky, some say from the sea, armed with swords forged in the blood of stars and bathed in sunlight. Until one day, a slave boy fled into the forest, where he was found and raised by the Old Ones, forest spirits with goat's horns and legs and hooves. He grew vigorous, fed on the golden nectar of his horns' bounty, and led an army of Old Ones to free our people alongside other great legendary heroes like Ulfus Wolfskin, Wendy Bloody-Antlers, Seala Damphair, Arthws Bear-Coat, and Svana Feather-Cloak. Along with them all, Pan Hollering-Horn drove the invaders out of Mewni, but their freedom cost the lives of all the Old Ones. So that they would always be remembered, Pan honored them by immortalizing them in the standard and crown of the Royal House of the newly formed Kingdom of Silvan.

The first mention of the Silvan Kingdom in the Butterfly Queendom came from the visit of Princess Solena Butterfly. She traveled with her dance troop known as the smittens to preform in the kingdom. While there she noted that it was very different from the Butterfly Queendom. Solena caused a scene by getting into an argument with the heir of the Silvan Kingdom, Prince Adonis Silvan's fiancé, Lady Lycasta Menae, of the Silvan House of Menae. Solena also got the princess crown from the kingdom. Inspired by the Silvan Kingdom's tournament, Solena started one when she was queen of the Butterfly Kingdom.

The next mention of the Kingdom in Butterfly history was 168 A.M.. Febe Butterfly and her husband Rowan Forest made a trip to the kingdom's tournament upon invitation of the prince himself, whom they became close friends with.

Febe Butterfly, fearing for her daughters safety during the First Muddewller Rebellion, sent Festivia Butterfly to the Silvan Kingdom as well as her future husband Quartz Stone to live with the Silvan Royal Family. Festivia has a cultural shock there and a hard time adapting. Festivia had a hard time making friends so King Silvan placed her to learn from the great masters of the preforming arts. She soon became more comfortable in the Kingdom, learning a lot about preforming, and would become friends with Princess Silena Silvan, Crown Prince and heir Perses Silvan, and Prince Thyrsus Silvan. 187 A.M., Festivia was helping harvest, grapepeppers, which are known for being extremely spicy and hot, squirted in her eyes accidentally leaving her blind for a short amount of time and turning her green eyes to a deep purple. Upon returning home Festivia brought much of the Silvan Kingdoms culture back to the Butterfly Queendom. influencing her reign.

However, the Horsewood Kingdom is isolated from the Silvan Kingdom by the Weald Kingdom, Plague Kingdom, and Felix Kingdom.

This left Queen Helena Silvan with her troops, a small number of Laurel troops commanded by Crown Prince Julius Laurel, and a small number of Camelidae to defend the Camelidae Kingdom. This military movement along with the lack of resources from the blockade led the Camelidae Kingdom to expel the Silvan and Laurel Armies and declare and alliance with the Smith and Horsewood Kingdom.
