Silent Rise is quite unique in comparison to the other Ebonfortion villages, as it isn't built on the ground. The trees in the northern sections of the Chartric Forest are so large, that the hunters that first inhabited the area decided it would be more beneficial, and safer, to build their village within the trees themselves. This puts them above many of the dangers that comes with being on the forest floor, out of reach of many predators. 

The trees are carved into, connected by wood and rope bridges. Because this entire society revolves around hunting, and being hunted, the village is purposefully designed to be as naturally blended into the foliage as possible. Because of this, the village is the smallest of them all. But it isn't needed to be larger, as Silent Rise boasts the smallest population as well, due to the dangers associated with hunting in the deep forests.

Aside from the following of Ebonfort laws, there is no real societal structure in Silent Rise. Most of the citizens are quiet and independent, keeping to themselves so long as no one interferes with them. They hunt for themselves, begrudgingly pay their tithes to the Ebon Knights, and continue about their business. The Knights maintain the smallest presence in this village, as there are very few people in Silent Rise that can't protect themselves. And those that can't don't survive long.

Ruby Banks is the largest of the outer villages in the Ebonfort Region, nestled on both sides of the Ruby River, connected by a network of stone bridges. Ruby Banks is the center of Ebonfort's agricultural economy. The land along the Ruby River is incredibly fertile, and the village grows and maintains vast swaths of wheat, corn, and other food crops on the north side of the river, while maintaining cotton, tobacco, sugar, and other cash crops on the south. Due to the river access, and high abundance of crops, Ruby Banks has the largest population, and highest wealth, of the outlying villages.

Nearly all of the buildings are finely crafted wood, commissioned from the artisans in Green Fall, built upon strong, high stone foundations from the Stone Crest masons, in order to survive the spring floods. The river provides fish, faster transport to and from Ebonfort, and powers the many mills. While Ebonfort has few of the stone, metal, and woodworkers, and of lesser quality than Stone Crest and Green Fall respectively, they are chief in producing nearly everything else. Nearly all of the shops in the capital have their goods produced in Ruby Banks. As with all villages, the largest building is the Ebon Knight Barracks and Depot, that houses Knights that don't own their own home in the village, and collects the taxes from Ruby Banks.[/hider]

Green Fall is tucked into the outer edges of Chartric Forest. It is one of the smaller villages, its economy fueled by the lumber gained from the forest. Lumberjack, woodworkers, fletchers, carvers, anyone that could profit from the nearby trees, with the exception of shipbuilders. There are no official guilds in Green Fall, masters and artisans take apprentices at their own discretion. And others just make their own way, learning from their own experiences.

While all the buildings in Green Fall are crafted from wood, they are ever changing just like the moods and desires of the artisans that originally built them. The road that connects all of the villages to Ebonfort does not pass through the village directly, but rather passes just by it. As with all villages, the largest building is the Ebon Knight Barracks and Depot, that houses Knights that don't own their own home in the village, and collects the taxes from Green Fall.
