Silvera is the name of a chain of fourteen islands in the Eastern Hemisphere of the Crystal Dimension. The islands run north-south between Mysidia and Fabul. The only native inhabitants of the Silveran islands are three non-human species: one a race of diminutive humans known as "midges," the next a race of sapient frogs, and the last a race of sapient pigs.

History

For countless ages, Silvera was known for its production of quality metalwork with rare metals, especially silver and mythril weaponry, but also jewelry items made of silver, mythril, gold and platinum. Adamantium is also plentiful in the Silveran islands -- the most bountiful veins of the metal in Crystal outside of those found in the Drow Underground. In modern times, magilyte deposits are also known to exist in the Silveran mines.

Despite this great mineral wealth, Silvera remained sovereign and untouched by the rest of the Crystal Dimension until the year 42 WR, when an ambitious Vortigern Pax sent the Golem army of Mysidia to occupy Silvera's capital city and "liberate" it from fascist rule (as Silvera had, up to that point, been ruled by the Porcine Party -- a collection of Silveran Pigs with nominal ties to the now-defunct Fascist Pact). This in turn created conflict between Mysidia and Eblan -- the latter of which feared the Communist Protectorate's growing clout in South Crystal -- resulting in the Three Week War, fought between Mysidia and Eblan, and then between Eblan and the Protectorate (by proxy of SLCM).

Following the invasion and subsequent resolution, the Mysidian Commonwealth was formed as a combination of Mysidia and Silvera together. Silvera's fascist leadership (comprised mostly of the Hogarch Snoutwit) went into exile, presumably to Fabul, and for a time there was peace.

The Porcine Uprising

Flag of the Porcine Republic
(designed by Snoutwit)

Then, in 45 WR, a rebellion arose in the northmost Silveran Islands, instigated by Porcine Party loyalists (with rumors of aid from both Fabul and Eblan). The mysterious leader of this rebellion was a pig by the name of Tonka-Tzu -- but after a time most were easily able to recognize the familiar form of Lord Snoutwit through his fine Fabulian clothing and silly Xsian pseudonym.

The end result of this rebellion was the formation of the Porcine Republic, based in the northern Silveran city of Port Mythrilton. With Eblanese backing, the Porcines were able to retain their independence from the Commonwealth, and thus far no major fighting has gone down over the hastily drawn-out border between Porcine and Mysidian territory.
