Unlike her brother, Silva inherited none of the stereotypical White Elf personality traits. Though she is reserved around strangers, she is compassionate and capable of warm humor. Her brother suggested that they move to Dragonspire to study at the Ilûsâd Monastery. While Gil sequestered himself in the monastery's libraries to study Ilsûthrin lore, Silva entered the Ilûsâd priesthood and trained as a Wardancer. She did well in her studies and, unlike her brother, was a beloved member of the community. She rather suddenly found her true calling while hiking in the Lûmanô Peaks. Stumbling on a stone circle. she was possessed by nature spirits and received her first apocalyptic vision. At first, she didn't know what it meant. But when she consulted monastery elders, she learned that she had been called to the Druidic Path. She left the monastery and moved into the wilds, to continue her studies under the spirits of the circle. A few years later, Silva returned to Dragonspire, a full-fledged Druid. She now has a more complete understanding of the nature of her apocalyptic visions. They involve her brother and his quest to continue the work of their infamous ancestor. Silva knows that Gil has evil in his heart, and that something terrible will happen when the fortress of Sa Karen is opened.
