The history of Silvay goes much prior to its original foundation. It originally started as the Kingdom of Kumuur, who at the same time founded the city of Kumaur on 12th February 2021.

Kumaur in Viodoxa
Later on, the Kingdom of Kumuur joined Viodoxa. From this point, the Silvish culture started to develop as Kumuur expanded.

On June 19, Valen, the former leader of Kumaur and Silvay was killed and Silvay gained independence, but shortly after re-joined Viodoxa.

On 30th June 2021, a hurricane struck Kumaur and flooded most of the lowlands in Silvay.

Somewhere in this period, the first archonate of Viodoxa collapsed into small kingdoms, including Silvay. Silvay then joined Aussay and formed the kingdom of Preyllea. After that, with the help of the former Viodoxan provinces, the Second Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa was created, until its collapse in October.

Silvay in Seratovia
Months after Silvay's creation, in October 2021, the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa collapsed, and gave independence to many different nations, Silvay among those.

Shortly after it's independence, it united with Seratov and Adytum to form the Seratovian State, staying as a province, containing several different counties.

On 6th November 2021, the new county of Fortuna joined Silvay, after winning a civil war against Greater Karolium.

On 23th November 2021, war was declared upon squatters known as Skeld, ending with a single-handed victory by Silvay.

Almost a month later, on 5th December 2021, the Seratovian and Silvish governments made an agreement with Greater Karolium to halt hostilities and avoid a war, so they gave most of County of Fortuna's land to Greater Karolium.

On 11st December 2021, Silvay declared it's neutrality in the upcoming conflict between the Third Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa and Loic's Imperial Archonate Union

On 8th January 2022, some reforms were made regarding the subdivision borders. The county of Findara was disbanded, the division of the county of Thedan and the occupation of Federal Land by Guilded Coast and Salapet County.

On 28th January 2022, the Third Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa surrended to the Imperial Archonal Union, led by Loic.

On 4th February 2022, due to the IAU reforms in subdivision borders, the county of Fortuna became a new province, gaining some lands south of Silvay too.

Subdivisions
The Province of Silvay is subdivided in 6 counties and one federal entity, owned by no one in the province. As of 5th December 2021, it gained an exclave in the town of Lapithos, which borders with the province of Seratovia.
