Este artigo é sobre the persona. Para the place, veja Silvenar.
- "He's the representative of the People, legally, physically, and emotionally [...] When they're healthy, so is he. When they're mostly female, so is he. When they cry for food or trade or an absence of foreign interference, he feels it too, and makes laws accordingly. In a way, he's a despot, but he's the people's despot." — A Dance in Fire
The Silvenar is the Voice of the People for the Bosmer. While often viewed by outsiders as a title for the Bosmer's political representative for foreign affairs, the Silvenar is more than a mere politician. Each person who bears the title is thought of as merely the Silvenar's aspect. The Silvenar represents the Bosmer people legally, physically, and emotionally. He reflects the state of the Bosmer people in his way of thinking, his health, even his gender (though he's referred to in masculine terms regardless). He is inseparably tied to the Bosmeri people, and they to him, making him supernaturally empathic and aware of their concerns.
As the Voice of the People, the Silvenar has many rights which grant him great authority in Valenwood. For one, only the Silvenar can grant foreign building and trade contracts, meaning any foreign power which wishes to build in Valenwood or do business with the Bosmer must deal with the Silvenar first.
No Silvenar can be without a Green Lady. The Silvenar has a mystical connection with the Green Lady, like with all Bosmer. The first Silvenar and Green Lady were said to have a been pilgrims, a childless couple who tended to the Eldest like their own offspring. Upon the death of the Silvenar, the new Silvenar officially takes on the title at a wedding. But even before the wedding, the Silvenaro may feel the new identity taking over. For the Silvenar doesn't just represent the will of the Bosmer to outsiders. The Silvenar actually feels the will of the people and acts upon it, and the people likewise can feel the Silvenar's influence and be swayed by it.
At the time of the founding of the Aldmeri Dominion under Queen Ayrenn, the Green Lady and the Silvenar spoke on behalf on the Bosmer. There, on the island of Khenarthi's Roost, the Silvenar and the Green Lady were slain by an Altmer. The new Silvenar, Indaenir, was denounced by some as a Dominion puppet, and asserted that the Dominion had "corrupted" sacred Bosmeri rituals. During the Alliance War, the Silvenar was abducted and had to be saved from his captors.
