Silverleaf Keep

Long ago, when the hills were still shrouded in dark mists, a knight named Sir Alarion Silverleaf wandered the land. He was a man of great honor, but most renowned for his friendship with the ancient forest spirits. According to the tales, they gifted him a branch of a silver oak tree, its leaves glowing faintly in the night. At the spot where he planted that branch into the earth, a mighty tree grew, one that never shed its leaves, not even in the harshest winter. Around this tree, Alarion built a castle — not as a bastion of war, but as a refuge for all who sought protection. Thus rose Silverleaf Keep, named for the tree whose leaves shimmered like stars in the darkness.
