Overview
Sylro is a mixed human and forest gnome settlement within the Wallhaven protectorate, known for silk production, fine dyes, horse breeding, and luxury campaign goods.
Though smaller and warmer in temperament than Wallhaven, Sylro is politically sharp. Its dyemasters, breeders, merchants, and guild families know exactly how valuable they are to Wallhaven’s army, nobility, and officer class.
Character
Sylro is bright, busy, and deceptively cheerful. Dyehouses, silk sheds, stables, guild yards, and small garden estates surround the settlement. Forest gnome families dominate several specialized crafts, especially dye-making and textile finishing.
Where Wallhaven values discipline, Sylro values leverage. A smile in Sylro may conceal a contract clause, a pricing dispute, or three generations of guild rivalry.
