Silver

Silver is often referred to as a universal expression; being a word that all races and cultures across The Land share.

It is a colloquialism meaning “False wealth” or “False power”, being coined during an era where The Land used a monetary economy until nations began to phase out the system one by one, realising the additional step in trading goods and services was essentially inefficient and ultimately pointless.

The Word had this negative connotation, as silver being a common metal, had no real value compared to things like Gold, or '''Mysth. '''The word in its common practice is often used to describe something as worthless, or of false promise.

The word was taken and adapted by extremist groups, choosing to use it as symbolically showing how they would not be part of a “greedy, oppressive regime” which each group thought existed. This was in reality, a flat out lie, as The Silverhide, originating from the Gurradon have never been under an oppressive power, the Intorran pirate clan; The Silverjaw existed for years before the term "Silver" was taken by these groups, and decided to indoctrinate themselves into this extremist movement, and the Silverminded, all just held grudges against Arkosites for being given such important societal status, whilst refusing to acknowledge their advancements made in the study of Arcane Manipulation.
