  Sylvania is a country located in the northern part of the continent of Ai which is known collectively as Nordika. Sylvania touches the northern part of the western border of Chronotopia, and is bordered on the north by the Sea of Ice. Its southern border is shared with Gallis. As might be discerned from its name, Sylvania is full of forests, the bulk of its land still being untamed wilderness, though cultivated areas are dominated by farmlands. While most modern structures in Sylvania are wooden, it is known for its ancient castles, most of which are nothing but crumbling ruins today. Some decades ago, Sylvania was wracked by several disasters -- plaque, widespread fires, war and famine -- which decimated its population and crippled its ruling structures. Sylvania shares Chronotopia's knack for having particularly foul weather, with sunny days being the exception. Its scattered populace is dominated by Rhians, Korvs and a subrace of the Eeee. Scavengers and raiders occasionally present a problem to Gallis and Chronotopia, and its government seems to have very little ability to control its own people, so it is not on good terms with any of its neighbors.
