Hey there!
Silver Hills is coming. I know that some collaboration has been going on already on how Silver Hills is structured in terms of location and setting, and I am going to ask that it get posted here so that we all have an established know-how on Silver Hills before our characters go in eventually. Thank you.

This is PV related so a bit OT but relevent. In Ch 2 of the FR RP it was established by me that the Queen of the Pegasi and Unicorns was a friend of Selina and named Celestra (as was King of the Nightmares Shadowfire also a friend)

Just wondering, is everyone going to Silver Hills, or just a small group. Everyone would be more ideal so that our characters have something rp with.

Kaya is correct. She has relations with the pony folk and should be able to tide things over rather quickly.
Silver hills, as pictured by Spencer Colt Meg and I, is a large territory, rather than the cities and towns we are used to. I will let Spencer go into the terrain as we pictured it a little more, as he has put more thought to it than I. I focused mainly on the dynamic of the people and its government. The elves have three princes, we know, and since we never heard tell of a king or queen, I think it's fair to say it can be deemed a cooperative principality. Each prince has a division of the Silverhills, east west and north. The south is largely uninhabited and is maintained under the protectorate of the Ranger General. Basically border patrol. The Capitol city, which we fancy Aleria, is in the very center of elf country, and is home to the Royal Palace. I have a full right up of government that I have been fiddling with, and I can post it here or send it to you on fb once I get to my computer. One thing about the terrain I do know it that a large forest exists close to the barrier and expanses the whole of the southern border. The elves, as masters of magic, can influence the climate to change to their liking, and so the forest ISNT an iceberg with pines. Flora and fauna thrive in the forest. I do believe this bit of terrain is crucial to an event planned with Colt and Zio.
Again, I have more, but it might be overwhelming to post it all at once.

I have screenshots from the quests in Pony Vale that were released shortly before Free Realms closed. The people there will be who is discovered in Pony Vale when the rainbow gate is broken, but the established pony folk might be absent with a future storyline tying them back to Pony Vale. Do any of you remember how those relations were established in Chapter 2? I want to get Pony Vale and Silver Hills all compromised together into one canon (and hopefully tidy) situation that is agreeable on before we proceed. Will update this more with how things went down in Free Realms once I can grab my screenshots and gather them here.

During one of the Struggles in Shrouded Glade(there were three, with Shrouded Gloam(ig event that we didn't do in the rp, or at least not in chapter two I dont think) being one of them) Selina and Zio summoned various magical and mundane species to aid them. I would rather not link the posts, they are really old and I was a mess ;-;.

It was the third time. The second was when they evacuated to FTF.

Towards the beginning of Ch 2 Selina mind spoke requesting help from Queen Celestra ((A) ruler of pegasi & unicorns), a Unicorn Pegasi to get to Zio; a little later Selina requested aid from her friend Shadowfire King of the Nightmares (She had befriended both during her wanderings between druid academy and the summons back during Ch 1 (or maybe between when she returned to SG and beg. of ch 2))

About the Silver Hills terrain/geography, we've thought that the North, East and West are divided up between the three princes, who we assume are brothers. The North goes to the middle child, the east goes to the oldest, and the west to youngest, if I remember correctly. The southern pie-slice of Silver Hills is like a neutral/mutually-owned territory, so that no prince has domain over the Crystal Barrier.
We've imagined a vast forest that reaches from somewhere towards the south, and into the west. The weather is usually mild, so there are flowers that grow in the area and animals that aren't usually out in cold climates would be running around; the forest would occasionally be struck by huge ice-storms, so you never know when it's safe to go inside the forest, but many people go in to see the magical creatures that live there.
Somewhere, (in the north or east) there's a field from a war long ago that caused strife for the entire nation. The area is thought to be cursed, and strange magics have been used there from the wars. The air in that area can be toxic to some after an extended period of exposure.

I have a strategy on how to approach Silver Hills while Pony Vale is also being explored so that we can all be here, as well as some questions. Will post it later today... it's 3AM.

Alrighty... plans.
Ragu receives message saying that the Pony Vale barrier is either about to shatter and/or has shattered and the other Druid group's assistance is not needed >Pony Vale contains beings mentioned from both Free Realms and the previous RP chapters >Pony Vale has potential to be used later for another arc Syndicate & friends travel to Snowhill shortly after and Crystal Barrier shatters dramatically, scattering crystals around the open valley area nearby. Big crystals chunks are collected to be rebuilt and smaller crystals are scattered and collected by people and by others to be tested. >Syndicate & friends travel to Silver Hills >More details on Silver Hills
I like the idea that Spencer posted. Also, I think Zio knows more about the names of things.
Do any of you have a copy of the dialogue Chugzy gave on Free Realms on Silver Hills? I would like to keep the canon names of things and include whatever geography he mentioned as well.

I dont think any ways mentioned, other than the fact he was the arch magus of the three princes. Would you like my write up on the government? I have accounted for the Arch Magus in it.

I think the Syndicate & Co. (copyrighting that) should go to Pony Vale for at least a day or so, so the group can check it out and stuff.
