Oak Silva
Deep within the Southern Forest lies a hidden gem. Oak Silva is a village among the trees! Generally a very quiet place despite being a few day's travel or so to Vex, Oak Silva is rather serene and silent. Many magical beings such as Fae, Changelings, and Mages have made this city their home, causing the population to rise to nearly 16,000.
​
Home to many, just as the rest of Simul, you can find peace and welcoming arms. Or wings. Or fuzzy paws. In other words, be prepared to see all sorts of forest dwelling creatures and people here. None are turned away. Unless, of course, they are trouble makers. The city's Constables make sure that the unwalled city stays a safe haven for those within.

Smelting Pot
A blacksmith based in a tree? Absolutely! Nothing will stop this crazy little elf from making the best made weapons and armor in Oak Silva. You could tell by just looking at her that Elbareth is a bubbly and quite insane little woman. She can still make you a sword with the best of them! All in the forge she has inside of her tree home. Two rooms for twice the work. If you can't find her in one, you will definitely find her in the other. Buzzing around like a fairy on caffeine. Don't worry, it has only caught fire once....
Book Mark
The Book Mark, located in the beautiful forest City of Oak Silva, holds some of the oldest mage written literature. It is not exactly the biggest library in Simul, but it hold just as much valuable information, if not more, than the rest. Most magic wielders tend to make their way toward Sudbury, but Oak Silva is a treasure trove of information! The main owner, Tasach, a high elf, is always willing to help you find just what you are looking for.
Sarah The Sage
One of the oldest known Sages in Simul, Sarah has a reputation of also being one of the best healers and midwives in the land. She is highly sought after for expectant mothers and fathers. Especially since her mortality rate is nearly zero.
​
​Be prepared when walking into Sarah's home. It is MUCH bigger and regal on the inside.
The Well
The Well is a jail maintained by the denizens of Oak Silva that is named for the fact that it is underground, accessed through a well-like staircase in the middle of town. It is here where the occasional forest creature that gets too rough and tumbly is kept, as well as visitors to the town who violate the local laws. The entrance to the Well is guarded day and night by powerful forest creatures. The jailer is a mysterious elf named Seth the Silent, who often captures criminals himself to lock them up, said to be quiet as a mouse.
Fairly Famished
A tavern run by one of the local fairies, Fairly Famished is a quiet little tavern with nature-themed decoration. With the help of her bear bouncer Borgis, the owner, Salindria, makes sure everyone coming in leaves with a full belly and a happy heart. It is rumored that she often sprinkles fairy dust into the ale she provides for some extra kick.
Beararmed Butchers
A butcher shop run by a bear of a man, rumored to be half-bear, even, named Oward the Strong. He provides quality meat and even helps out with heavy lifting around time on his time off. Much of the meat he provides comes from some of the bigger, scarier beasts from around the woods, so his meat is often tough, chewy, and carries the taste of something well-earned.
Enchanting Elixers
He may be old, but Whulgac is a very experienced potion maker. Often mistaken for a full blown alchemist due to his wide array of concoctions, he never corrects these assumptions. Enchanting Elixers is the most popular potion shop in all of Oak Silva, and for good reason.
​
Fairy Grotto
The Fairy Grotto is a small park located in Oak Silva. It is so-named for the fact that it is home to several fairy glades, surrounded by dense trees despite the small space. Fairies, as one might expect, often gather here, as do people performing rituals to honor nature. One such owns the gardens. Her name is Kenzie and she is a normal human sized fairy. Ask her about her wings sometime. She could go on for HOURS.
Milly's Oven
A bakery run by a woman named Milly. She is known for being a kind and endearing woman, a mother of three and a widow. She employs small animals to help her bake, though makes sure that everything still remains sanitary.
