Savia

Savia is a forest-covered continent with small mountain ranges and vast hills. Deep within Savia the Feywild Tree is located, which hums with energy and magick from the Feywilds. The tree allows the denizens of the continent and the Feywilds to come and go from the mortal realm and fae realm as they please. Because of this, Savia is deeply covered in fae magick, which makes the forests large and their bounty plentiful.

Savia is not very big and is considered a small continent in comparison to the other continents.

Savia's population is 50,000. 50% of the population is Wood Elves and 50% is faefolk, i.e satyrs, faeries, centaurs, minotaurs, nymphs, naiads, and ents.

Savia is covered in deep forests and vast mountain ranges, making the land difficult to traverse if an outsider.

There are no large, vast bodies of water but small ponds exist within every farm village, town, and glade while a few larger ponds exist within cities and under the Feywilds Tree.

The forests are very thick and many which soaks up the sun.

The vast mountain ranges make it slightly difficult to get to the shores.

Savians

Each city, town and farm village are guided by a single elder or several. These elders meet with the leaders of the glades to make decisions about the continent as a whole.

Savians aren't very interested in trading goods for coins, so typically they are considered a poor continent but are rich in resources they trade with each other.

Due to Savians viewing their continent as sacred, they frown upon outsiders that are not druids, clerics under the Feywilds gods, wood elves or faefolk.

Celtic architecture makes up the villages, towns and cities along with the temples.

Savia is regarded neutrally, as they do not get involved with the politics of the rest of the world.

Potatoes, corn, wheat, berries, fruits

Savia very rarely gets very warm and never gets hot only getting to 65 degrees as the warmest, typically it is always cold and averagely is 40 degrees.

Spring sees the rebirth of all the trees and plants on the continent, bringing with it vast amounts of pollen and green. Summers bring more warmth to the continent, though the trees grab most of the sunlight before it can warm the ground and air. Fall sees the trees to sleep and the plants to death, leaving the forests barren except for the evergreen trees. Winter comes and blankets the continent in a small layer of snow.

Savia gets very humid the deeper you go within some forests, though the mountain ranges help to regulate the air flow and sweep some of the humidity away.

It rains very often no matter the season.

Away from the forests and closer to the mountains it gets very windy.

Natural disasters are not common.

Savia was officially founded and named Savia after Savia Thistlebranch, a Wood Elf Druid of the Dream. Thistlebranch worshipped and prayed to the Feywilds Tree and encouraged her nearby village to join her in her prayers, though she seldom got others to come with her. After a few decades of praying, Thistlebranch arrived to the Feywilds Tree on a spring morning in 85 A.E and noticed the Feywilds Tree to be thrumming with energy and magick. She observed the tree's bark to be peeling away at the middle of the tree in the roots, Thistlebranch helped peel away the remaining bark to find that a portal to the Feywilds had appeared within the tree. She felt a calling to enter the portal and so she did; being greeted by Fae-King Somni, also known as God of Sleep and Mind, ruler of the Feywilds and Father of Druids. Somni thanked Thistlebranch for all of her prayers which helped him create this portal to bring the two realms together; he informed her to tell the elves on the continent that faefolk would begin to live on the continent with the elves.

Savia Thistlebranch left the Feywilds and carried word from Somni to her kin, where they began to prepare to welcome their new neighbors with open arms. For her perseverance and dedication to the Feywilds and people, Thistlebranch was elected as the first Elder Druid and the land was named after her. Savia prospered and progressed for centuries under the leadership of Elder Druid Thistlebranch and at the end of 885 A.E she passed her title down to her successor, Rose Moonglade, before entering the Feywilds; never to be seen again.

Elder Druid Moonglade advocated for the creation of temples on the continent, closer to the towns and city for those who could not travel to the Feywilds Tree. She built a temple to Saganie in the forest below the Feywilds Tree, and named the forest Mother's Blessing. Nearby to the village Dungiven, Florian's temple was built close to the shore, in-between her parents' temples. Between Banbridge and Edenderry, Boarus' temple was built within a glade of protected wildlife. Somni's temple was built closest to the Feywilds Tree and the capitol of Dungannon. Over time, the small forests enclosing the temples became glades, where druids would gather and live together, protecting the temples and praying to the Feywilds Gods.

Druids of the Dream stayed within the Dreamglade, which was the glade that Somni's temple resided in, along with the Feywilds Tree. A prominent figure of the Dreamglade was High Priestess Clari Fawn, a half-wood elf, who dedicated her life and practice to being a twilight cleric of Somni. She built a small academy within the Dreamglade, where druids of the dream and clerics of twilight could come to learn magick, ways of worship, hypnosis and meditation.

The glade that surrounded Saganie's temple was named the Flowerglade and was home to druids of the forest and clerics of nature, who studied and cared for the Flowerglade under Earthwhisperer Orval, a Feywilds centaur druid of the forest and son of Florian, Goddess of Farming and Animals. Saganie's temple was purposefully left to be overrun by plants; as it was seen by the druids and clerics that lived there to be a crime against the goddess if any harm came to plants.

Florian's temple glade was named the Fawnglade and was home to many of Florian's centaur children, druids of the shepherd and
