Silvayn was born in Mergorod. A bustling port town, Mergorod used to be an enormous slave camp and the seat of power of the Dorwin rulers. Silvayn doesn't know his original parents, he was adopted at a young age by the Gorbul clan.
Silvayn lived there with his 3 adopted siblings: Agarth, his older brother, Suzura, his younger sister, and Foloni, his older sister. Silvayn's early years were like any other normal child, he was loved by his adopted parents and played/fought with his siblings.
One day, they were on a hunting trip as a family, and a tragic accident happened in the woods. Silvayn's older siblings were roughhousing and pushing him back in forth, calling him names and saying he was too weak.
This angered Silvayn, causing him to tackle his sister in anger, causing her to fall off a steep cliff behind them which resulted in her death. Agarth never forgave Silvayn for what he'd done, even though it was an accident.
