Silan is an island where homins emerged after many years of 'exile' in the Prime Roots.

Overview

This is where all characters start out in the game. From 18 May 2009 onwards a subcribed account is no longer needed to leave Silan.

Silan contains many different people with which the player can interact with, above all a trainers for fighting, magic, harvesting and crafting, mission givers for both factions the Kami and the Karavan and a set of missions for the Rangers. All missions given on Silan act as a tutorial for Ryzom i.e. Silan should not convey the idea that Ryzom as a whole is quest-centric.

For a more indepth look into missions and tutorials on Silan see Silan Guide.

Geography

Map of Silan

Arena

This is the only PvP area on the island. As far as can be seen the arena is naturally formed and many resources can be found within it. It should be noted that the abundance of sources should not make you less wary of the Arena.

Hunting Grounds

Where the inhabitants of the ranger camp hunt bodocs and other herbivores for food. Bodocs, yubos, izam, and rendor can be found here.

Kitin Jungle

An uncharted area of horror and unknown dangers. It is rumoured to be inhabited by a kirosta.

Ruins of Silan

A city which was built by the Matis when they resurfaced. The Matis began expermimenting with the intelligent plants in the region, namely the Slaveni, to make extracting resources easier. This eventually led to the city's downfall and the ruins are all that remain of it.

Quests

The gravest sin #3: The leader is found at the camp in the northern end of the lake. If you have trouble it is a good idea to bring a friend that knows heal(4), since he and his companions hit rather hard. Alternatively, you an thin out his friends first, remember that you can escape combat by valiantly retreating into the water. You can also kill the leader that way, by taking down some of his health and running into the water before he kills you, heal up and return. Just remember if he is too low on health when you engage him, the kill might not count.
