The city has idyllic areas mixed in with modern aesthetics. There’s a quirky perpetual fog that gives it a blue-ish silver look that even translates well in photographs, so everywhere you turn your bound to find a photo perfect opportunity. Previous fact is also attributed to the impressive tourist traffic in the city, aside from its prolific landmarks and festivities. The locals of Silvervale are very inviting even if sometimes weird, well… quirky. Silvervale’s streets and landmarks are named after the executed residents from day’s old, most of which have their own little artifact and pointers telling their tale: how they lived, what they were accused of and how they died. This was under the efforts of the city to honour those that were wronged from such dreadful times, it’s quite the trip to look through and learn each of them. There are rumours that it’s more a superstitious act to ward off a curse more than it was anything, but you know, Silvervale is full of tales. [b]A brief read-up on "The Great Three":[/b] [sub] Back in the day the town was mostly known to be the home of it's infamous witches, which later on contributed to the traditional practices and modern day festivals of Silvervale. Aurelia “The Mystica” Willard, was a noble woman; Initially a young Spanish ‘slave’ sold by her father to a wealthy elderly English nobleman, Benjamin Willard to be his bride. They later migrated to the Americas, on a small settlement in the fringes of thick lush marshes and woodlands somewhere in new New Orleans. When Benjamin died under mysterious circumstances, Aurelia became the head of the household and through his husband's abandoned wealth, she had lived the rest of her life, in grandiose and fame, spending on material things: sex and exclusive soirees amongst her fellow nobility. Notorious for being a cruel and conniving woman, she had her way with getting what she wants, thus being both feared and respected in the small community plus equally earning her a grand number of enemies. She had a young personal servant, named Rebecca Marks who literally sold her soul to Aurelia. Some say she was a thrall under Aurelia's spell, some say they were actually lovers, but either way history had little to no information on the true nature of their relationship. Another name of note was Emilia La Fontaine's: the local bordello madam, who in more than one occasion has been accused of dabbling in witchcraft. Adding to that fact, there are a number of instances where men, most commonly of notorious statuses, would go missing in the area, the bordello being their last known location. Nobody really knows where they have gone. At some point she had been in correspondence with Mystika, it is said that both were dabbling with the demonic arts among other things. Both had been punished for these accusations, along with Aurelia's beloved servant for her supposed involvement... all three women were executed in horrific fashions to get dispelled of their demonic ties. This is just one of the many tales surrounding the city's strange history. Silvervale has since compensated for its barbaric ways by honoring the dead through festivities and commemorations, thus the birth of it's fascinating profile.

Named to commemorate Rebecca Mark, one of the Three Witches executed during the 1600s when condemning progressive female figures is a pretty common occurrence. In spite of its dark history, it is now a very welcoming space for just about anyone wanting to relieve stress and get, as the locals say it, FUKT’UP though do be wary of the occasional pub fights.

Its mission is to wholly develop the abilities, skills, intellect and EQ of its students leading them towards bringing something new to society. The university is known for bringing about Inventors and Artists, and as such is prolific for the arts. The University has 3 separate buildings divided into: Arts, Sciences and Technology. There’s a track field, a football field, an indoor pool, a theatre, and etc. [/hider] [hider=The Silver Swamp] [center]THE SILVER SWAMP (Actual Swamp) [hr] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/e4e45829-fca0-408c-8943-6bb7b2ebdf1a.jpg[/img] [hr] [/center] A swamp connected to the woods behind the University, a bridge connecting the main path from town to the University was constructed to make way for the students. Although it passes more now as looking like a lake thanks to the beautification efforts of the city’s governing bodies –All hail the Tinkers!!- , this body of water is actually a swamp. This was where Aurelia “The Mystika” Willard was executed, being fed to the crocodiles by a wilding mob. During the city festival/foundation fair, it is a tradition to throw in silver trinkets into the lake as a way of honouring Mystika and her contribution to the history and progress of the city. The silver trinkets also give the swamp a silver blue-ish glow that ultimately became its namesake. [/hider] [hider=The Woods] [center]THE WOODS (It's a forest) [hr] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/85f627e5-e4ba-4cc1-888f-f6ebbf174be4.jpg[/img] [hr] [/center] A huge forest behind the university, connected to the Silver Swamp. There are some abandoned establishments within its grounds that make for a fun exploration if you’re not afraid of the wildlife and the legends that surround it. They say if you stay quiet enough and block out the noise of wildlife you can hear whispers and wailing from within the woods. Another story claims there’s a boogie man living some miles deep and should you find yourself within its domain, you’ll end up getting tickled to death before becoming a stew –they call it, the Canibuk. [/hider] [hider=Marketplace] [center]THE TRADE CENTER (Marketplace) [hr] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/f52a96db-2f21-4a9f-8b35-5b070520efc2.jpg[/img] [/center] A thriving and bustling part of town, this is where you can get your dry and wet goods. They’ve got, meat, fruits, seafood, fresh flowers, seedlings, crafting supplies, first-aid kits, beating animal hearts, bottles of tears, used surgical gloves, and plenty more sweet deals. At the center of the marketplace is the Circle where artisans; local and foreign, set up booths on the weekends to showcase their works and eventually make profit, ANYONE’s welcome to sell ANYTHING at the circle. The previous statement also brings in quite a percentage of tourists into the city. [/hider] [hider=Plaza] [center]The Plaza (An actual plaza, surprisingly yet to be named) [hr] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/4c3ccf31-0633-4793-9f6f-76adfae67fdc.jpg[/img] [hr] [/center] The core of the city, it’s wide enough for people to congregate on during the many festivities of Silvervale. Lined with benches and trees, it is often adorned by decorations that change monthly and most likely based on the current celebration being held. The Plaza is often crowded on the weekends by tourists and locals alike, marvelling at the decorations or just hanging out. Just 40 years ago, a gallows was fixed dead centre of the plaza where plenty of people were executed back in the day. It has since been replaced by a platform made entirely out of silver and aluminium that somehow still hasn’t lost its shine nor has any sort of blemish or scratch. There’s a small playground on the east corner of the plaza dedicated to the Lost Kids, some orphans who mysteriously disappeared 400 years ago.

They also serve breakfast 24/7 at a decent price, it’s also usually where most of the bar-goers stumble into at 5 in the morning. The complex housing the diner actually used to be a brothel owned by Emillia La Fontaine, one of the three great “witches”.

They’ve got cafes, restaurants, salons, spas, arcades, a big department store, a hardware, and all the usual mall functions. Oh and If you need electronics, this is where to go.

[hr] P.S. OKAY, so, you might remember this rp from 7 months ago, basically life happened for me and a lot of stuff went down and I went awol BUT I'm here now and I'd like to give this another shot. RP's basically all players interacting with the entire town (which sounds ambiguous and ambitious but what I basically want to do is expound lore as the rp goes, that's why some of the story details are still vague.) I will encourage players to collaborate with me as a gm to revise and establish the story canon as we go, so if you're into that come on right in, friend. Might turn into a disaster but we'll have fun with it. (But don't worry, I do have base material we'll be working with so it's not a complete shot in the dark) So, yeah, like collaborative RP or something? It's technically my first time GMing and it sounds about my speed. First phase of the RP, is basically an introduction to the town, where the players will choose among various town activities to participate in: from which they can unravel backstories from locations and npcs they can incorporate into their character's plot/arcs for future or concurrent use, basically everything's a plot device if you'd want it to be, just don't godmod thanks lul. [sub]*note: in between each phase will probably be a time skip*[/sub] For the second phase, I'll be throwing in a little contained arc that will focus on the tenants(players) interacting solely with each other. Take a good guess, how I'll make it... but it might involve being stuck/trapped someplace. For the third phase, by this point I assume everyone's well-acquainted with each other and probably have an established path for their characters, it'll be free-form so y'all can have freedom to explore. Then another contained arc, probably sprouting from some absurd festivity the residents of Silvervale have conjured, then freeform again until we all get tired or perish or get inactive, which hopefully won't be for awhile. For any questions/clarifications/concerns just hit me up henny. But that's that, I look forward to playing with y'all <3
