The Library
Aya's parents were well read people and they prised their collection of different books and manuscripts. Although modest by modern standards, before the printing press a single bookcase could be worth more than a village. It is through this written knowledge that many...

Secret Compartment
Half of the Service building is topped with a loft, to which there is no apparent access. The only entry is behind a hidden panel inside of the Master Bedroom. This is where Aya keeps her secret things.

Service Corridor
The corridor leading to the Dining Room has two boards with bells attached. Under each bell there is a nameplate with corresponding room name. Whenever service is needed, those bells will tell Mrs Berylpot exactly where she needs to go.

Snowwynn Mansion
I've decided to redo the design of Aya's house, which becomes part of the comic setting. I'd say I'm rather happy with how the re-vamp turned out :)

Not so shiny!
Although they lead a simpler life, the Sylvan Folk don't lack the day-to-day hurdles. A dishonest merchant is as common to them, as he would be to the people of Rattengan. Money and greed does not discern race.

Bison Sage
Bison count among the oldest lore-keepers of the Sylvan Folk. The Spirit of the Wilds came to them around the same time, as it revealed itself to the Deer. They form the spiritual body of the Sylvan Faith, binding the diverse races into one people.

Although generally docile, Sylvan Folk are also comprised of more violent people, who would resolve their disputes in a brawl, rather than a discussion. Boars count amongst such individuals, often forming mercenary bands or ruffian gangs. If one is smart, one pays...

Wolf Brewer
Wolves have a very deeply rooted culture of brewing, with their master brewers being often celebrated on par with famous warriors. And why shouldn't they be? After all, their brew pumps courage and ferocity into the veins of all who partake in it.

Moon Priestess
Worship of the Moon was always part of wolven lore, but only recently it began to contest shamanism. Seductive priestesses promise bliss unrivalled to those deemed worthy. It is said that to lay with the Priestess is to touch the moon itself.

Timber Wolf War Pack
During times of war, the Timber Packs always resorted to guerrilla warfare of lightning strikes and immediate retreat into the safety of deep woods. Masters of ambush, they prove a lethal enemy to anyone who intrudes on their territory.

A typical Timber Wolf Den.
Living in the depths of the Great Sylvan, Timber Wolves do not construct large settlements. Instead, they live in tightly knit packs spread across their territory. Each den features an Ancestral Tree as a spiritual heart of the family

The shamans are the spiritual heart of Timber Wolf society. They honour the old way, often gathering in the ruins of Sylvan Temples to commune with the Wild Growth. From among the wolven folk, only they still keep faith with Sylvan, asking him for guidance.

Changing theme again to Timber Wolves. :)
Once part of the Sylvan Folk, Timber Wolves severed their ties to the Evergreen Realms and pledged themselves to the growing Wolven Horde. With a turbulent recent history, this pack leader has a lot to ponder.
