This page is about the House. For other uses, please see Sylvans (disambiguation).

The Sylvanic Fellowship was a House within the village of Eleusis. Like their forestal brethren, the Druids and Sentinels, the Sylvans made Nature their priority in all things, and dedicated themselves to the protection and preservation of such, knowing that it was Nature that sustained and succored all through their lives. They also recognized that even Nature had a root and a purpose, as do all things in existence; thus they strived to learn and understand the causes, effects, and meanings hidden within everything that existed.

Around the Year 678AF, the Ventos Allegos, a minion of Lady Lorielan, destroyed all the Icons ending with the fall of the the Stag Crown. When the Sentinels Icon fell the Ventos Allegos travelled trough the Shadow Icon to the Eastern Ithmia. With the presence of Ventos Allegos being to much for the forest and Eleusis, the trees and woods began to become distorted. Awaken from her slumber by the arrival of the Ventos Allegos, Lady Artemis along with Lady Gaia combined their powers to rejuvenate the forest and removed the Ventos Allegos. With the surge of Natural energy, the trees and plants began to heal along with the trees of the the Three Great Forestal Houses, of which they then became no more.

Founding

The organization was originally founded in 329 AF as the Sylvans guild, a fusion between Druids and Magi. Sylvans received Viridian within Elementalism instead of Staffcast and their inception. This was the only difference between the two practiced skills at that time. Viridian increased strength and constitution by +2 and did damage based on one's strength.

Leadership - Quaero Coelementatus Academy

This was the prestigious academy within the Sylvan Guild, which was envisioned by Raes, and supported by the Presum of Terra, Aeris, Fontis, and Exurio, with the premiere Pontus as the first among equals, and the capstone year within the program. Raes appointed Antreus, his protege from the Druid Guild to be the first Presum Terra, who had followed his exodus into the Sylvans, along with other druids such as the venerable druid Deonymus in order to establish the Guild's thoughtful purpose and inclination towards stewarding an understanding of the elements within five philosophies, as a bridge between the Sentinels and Druids just as Haidion, the Wanderer had envisioned, 'a third way.'

The tier of Terra, marked a novice's introduction into Sylvan apprenticeship and was integral in the formation of apprentices into full members, with Pontus being a seminal capstone of their learning, according to a directed interest or field, chosen by the student. Each presum was to develop their own programs independent of each other. Exurio often was in regards to combat, whiile Fontis focused on healing.
