Silvanus

In the Dawn Era, Silvanus was a wood elf hero serving under Corellon. He was deeply interested in nature magic becoming a master of the druidic arts. He is thought to have been one of the first to undergo a transformation from a mortal to a fey whereby he became more of nature energy than life energy - a process called transcending. Silvanus's skill reached a point two hundred years after his birth that it rivaled that of Corellon. As a result of this, he was reassigned from Kriav to the Sphere 411 theater. This put him under the command of the god Bal-Kriav where he would rise to prominence and become one of the great archangels of the Creation War.

Silvanus learned his druidic art from a sprite named Naramindan. This tutelage is the only reason that allowed him to come to rival the druidic might of his master.

In the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE), Silvanus served under the Nawirrûs Covenant. On the start of the Battle of Radullu, needing someone tougher, Bal-Kriav made Silvanus an Archangel. One of the Plaques of Aphalur states that he fought in the Battles of Regadnîn, helping in the imprisoning of a primordial dreadnought named Dališar. Silvanus was also responsible for re-locating a primordial named Silfergath to the Prison Continent.

He fought alongside Danzar-Khâl and Bal-Kriav, driving the Nine Tongued Worm back into Chaos. This epic fight, perhaps against the most powerful primordials, led to the shattering of an entire continent. Šadullu was ripped asunder, floating upwards to become islands and debris in the clouds. Saddened by the destruction, it said Silvanus's tears became a perpetual storm, blowing across the shadowy sea beneath it all (Silvanus's Tears).

A top practitioner of magic using Nature Energy, his ability to harness this stuff gave him an uncanny sense at finding Sparks of Creation - a tool of Creation, it led him becoming a Beast Creationist.

On 19 Witchrite 3288 DE, Silvanus used Sparks of Creation and Warp Matter in the creation of the first Treant. Beginning as a normal tree, it was given sentience, mobility, camouflage, becoming the first of a vast network of intelligence gathers; the Covenant's eyes and ears.

He also created the dryad Huemutril, the first of her kind.

In the Demon Spawn War (8972 GE - 9493 GE), he was one of the top generals serving under Asmodeus. Silvanus was tasked with guarding Ma'Ohari from the demon invasions plaguing Bal-Kriav. In this region of the realm be battled the demon hordes under Graz'zt. He also saw action on the continent Hezmort. In 9116 GE he had the difficult task of putting down the treant Núlananya - a noble creature that served as the core of the Roots of Núlananya. When this unwelcome task was done, it closed the Núlananya Rift. After that, he and his forces turned on those of Jurusalax. In 9121 GE, somewhere under the canopy of the ancient black oaks of Logor, he killed this demon lord. His troops then went on to liberate the area from the demons and free the Gimrune from centuries of servitude.

Silvanus was a co-founder of the The Balance. He became a member of this group on 20 Temporal 1. His small religious following and growing aloofness to Balance affairs were viewed as a detriment to the stability of the group. To make way for another deity with the Mantle of Nature, Silvanus was removed from The Balance. In 1685, he was replaced by Aredhel.

Two groups that are working hard to increase his divine power are the Cheldremn and the Einglach. Silvanus has a bolstered nature domain that provides follower boons to his worshipers.
