Silver Root
The Silver Root {SrebnyRod} is a group of people who survived the cataclysm of the realms of Essylian. Their culture roots are the same, but the Silver Roots (Also called Silver'ts) have created a new culture. They live in flying cities placed in huge sky ships, to which they refer as SrebnyLod, their country/city. The people there are generally shorter weaker built, but faster and more athletic than normal human. For them using magic (Mysticism) is normal like writing and reading. The Silver Root was first seen in chapter 16. They are lead by Mikado.

Pistis, elpis, agapē
"Faith, hope, (and) love." The three flying ships are Kalled Pistis, Elpis and Agapē . The biggerst one is Agapē on wich two third of the Srebny's live. The second biggest is Elpis, were the richer people live, and this is more an academic ship. The smallest one Pistis, atleast that is what the normal people call it.
Agape
The biggest ship, formed oval, and may resemble a two decked ship. Just like all of the Air Ships, it got a flat area on the bottom were a huge rune is craved into. This rune keeps the ship floating, and can manouvre it a little bit. The ship also got a steam based engine in its back, to increase the speed of its transportation. Agape is the main city, and most people live there. Because of local transport ships there is a simple connection between Agape and Elpis. In the center of the ship there is a fountain, and everything is build from that place on. The upper part of the ship has no roof, and there's plenty of fresh air. The front part of the ship has and extra hill which can be extended to cover the empty space.
Elpis
The structure of this ship is very similiar to Agape's. On this ship younger or richer people live. Most immigrants come to learn mysticism here, while they learn the normal amount of mysticism in school, on Elpis you can learn to become a pro. Elpis is also proud of having the Blue Academy, the biggest magic and research facility in SrebnyLod. The council also has their council there.
Pistis
Meaning Faith, faith to the country. This is a huge ship, and it is also eqquiped with guns. A little is known about it, and military is seen often heading there, so people believe it's the military facility. The ship always flies above the two other ones, who fly next to each other.
Sructure
All of the ships have a huge rune placed at their bottom, and that keeps them flying. Actually it are four huge tablets with the same rune placed on each other. Three are active, one is reserve. The ships move thanks to their steam engines, and that is their biggest drive power. They are made of Siltratium, a Silver looking metal wich is light and strong (More about this later) and they can't get it on Gaian, but they took recourses from the exploding planet Ox274.
Government
Because the SrebnyRod was originaly the Realms of Essylian, just like them, there is a council (105 members) and a military general leadership. The one that supervises all is the Mocarny (Powerful), the "fuhrer" chosen by the people. The council members are voted each two years, and each year a member can be voted off. However the generals are all about war experience, connections and achievements.
Commonwealth Navy
Commonwealth Navy is the name of the army of Silver Root. They control the ground troops as well the navy and air force (This is one thing in Silver Root). The whole Commonwealth Navy controls Silver Root almost. 80% of the population is ready to become a military at any moment because of major propaganda. See more here.
Siltratium
Siltratuim is a metal found on OX274 when Lupin discovered how to break the mountain hard rocks there. The metal is red and very light. However things like "Strong AND light" don't exist really easy, so the metal was easy to break and bend, there is even a huge confusion about what state the metal is in. Since it depends on the temperature of course, but the metal is so easy to bend that some people think that it's actually fluid, but other things that it's just weak and it's solid.
There is something more that makes this metal interesting and the most useful metal in the Essylian Realms. Because it is an alkaline earth metal it reacts with oxygen extreamly quickly (Less than a second) and there appears a silver coloured layer. THIS is a very hard layer, one of the hardest. Because this layer is very thin, it doesn't weight much, and the metal is perfect for weapons and items. However when OX274 disappeared with the cataclysm the only user of the metal is Silver Root. However they got a limited resource of it, as it's now very hard to get from the debriefs that is left of OX274.
Thermology
Silver Root is the English version of SrebnyRod, which means literary in Polish: Silver Folk. It is probably a reference to Siltratium and the silver age, since then the people were most prosperous.
