This is very much Work In Progress (WIP).
Sylverian is like Targaryen but it isn't a rip.
Broadly speaking, just roleplay inspiration.
In line with it, images can prove hard to find.
For both silver-haired characters and dragons.
And for a dragon-esque base for House Sylverian.
But for future development I may give multiple edits.

"Shut the doors.
Take their swords.
Each and every man.
Place them on the stack.
There you go.
A king without a throne.
Take the swords of your soldiers
And forge your own, sir,
If you dare,
But, if you do,
A Sylverian Dragon
will be there."
—Maenera Sylverian

They came.
They flew.
Their name.
Clouds knew.
Sylverian.
Of dragon.
They could ride.
Fly high in the sky.
Their fire was O so bright!
They could break, burn and fight!
Remember, remember, O dragon rider!
Though gone are dragons, we remember!

OVERVIEW

"Fire and blood are within us.
That of the dragon, and thus
We do not bend our knees
To any but the most worthy.
The only one is yet a dragon
Of which the Sith Empire,
Well, as it climbs higher,
May become a dragon's
Kind of manifestation."
Koryus Sylverian


House Sylverian is a noble house on Valc—homeplanet.
It's in the Outer Rim Territories by the Unknown Regions.
Of Valc, in the database, there is barely much even written.
So, I'll just wing some of this as though flying like a dragon.

A long, long time ago...in a world far, far away...
Families of X-tech level or the other are named.
They do their own thing, but of lands they claim.
Which leads to infighting—fire, blood, in the rain.

Whether they war in the desert, mountain or plain.
Whether the floor of the forest, fountains in oceans.
The fact of the matter is the houses fight each other.
Queue the bright roar of the welkin—O dragon rider!

Where they hail from, none can say even to this day.
The House of Sylverian won their way in blood, fire.
Millenia pass, but blood lasts, babes grow higher.
Dragons are a thing of the past, but a house stays.

Today—House Sylverian holds onto their holdings.
In land, in space; from the Empire not withholding.
Whoever, whatever they are, the Human Sylverians.
They rode dragons; ride the Force, as it so happens.

Oh, it's true, there be plenty of dragons in the galaxy.
I do not own Valc then on Valc are still some maybe.
Yet, there are no longer dragons that fit their needs.
Dragons bred for Sylverians and for their Force link.

What's more, the Sylverians over time became less
Force-sensitive—Beast Control's out of the question.
It was as if the power of the dragon and even more is
Leaving them. Yet, some are born in the Force, her/him.

Or are their dragons hidden? Somewhere? O indeed.
Whether yes or no, dragon-riding is more ceremonial.
More than gaming—but the galaxy has its other wings.
Against starships—dragons won't win in an open battle.

Of the world of Valc, the Sith Empire has since taken.
House Sylverian did not resist them but took them in.
As Sith Lieutenants—Sith Agents—as Sith Champions.
For the Sith, says Sylverian, but also "From The Dragon"!

House Sylverian's sigil is
A red three-headed
Dragon on a
Field of black

Their words are
"From The Dragon"
Like House Targaryen
Till I find a better image.

CULTURE

Overview
House Sylverian is founded on
Creeds of conquest and battle.
The kind written about in songs
About dragons burning cattle.

To the first riders, who flew the earth
On dragons of three—and set to burn
Anyone who would not bend the knee.
Millenia ago—today—no king or queen.

Yet, the fury of fire remains in their blood.
They are driven—by power and ambition.
But they know they are now quite far from
The throne. Maybe they just need dragons.

ASSETS

Dragons!
Rather, the legends of them.
The Sylverians rode dragons.
When dragons were like ships.
So a long time before starships.

Whatever the reality of Valc.
Of little is it written about.
So just pretending that
A legend is yet a fact.

Dragon bones in the ground.
Those thousands of years ago.
A long time for House Sylverian.
Same goes for House Targaryen.

Troops
As in some household guards?
You can dismember the arms?
But really just your token NPCs.
To give substance to this family.

Ships
Ships eh
I...guess?
No dragons.
This be a WIP.
Maybe a few?
PC/NPC ships too?
Maybe less, just a bit?
I'll leave it for now then.

Mines of Moonlight
The Mines of Moonlight are the mines
Within those lands of House Sylverian
Where at first much gold was mined
And more minerals to this day even.

Brightroar
The ancestral steel sword of House Sylverian
Is a bastard sword for hands of men or women.

HISTORY

"When
The
Sun sets,
You shall rest,
My dragon...yes...
The only one left...
Of House Sylverian..."

—Vaegon Sylverian


There were first three of them.
The mother, the father, the son.
From the three came everyone.
Brothers, sisters; one, the next.

But not in that kind of sense.
From outside were they wed.
Kept alive was the bloodline.
They married in fire and ice.

No one knew how they moved.
How Sylverians flew on dragons.
Mystery, that of the dragon rider.
Also how they could breathe fire.

Through beasts for steeds
They gain greater power.
Challengers put to defeat.
Day after night and hour.

Their might built up their house.
Many came to know their name.
House Sylverian; fire in the rain.
And so the Dragon Riders came.

This was indeed quite some time ago.
Before today, another game of thrones.
Whether sword, shield, dragon rider.
Whether ships yet, whether the blaster.

Houses tried to break other houses.
They fought to reign all around them.
House Sylverian was one such player.
So came dragon knights vs. slayers.

The Dragon Knights, said some.
For of swords they also do come.
More than that, they too are born.
The Sylverian is born into the Force.

Maybe that would help explain them.
Their ability to fly on dragons as men.
As women, the Sylverian, in appearance.
Silver hair, varying skin—and a fire within.

Either way, whatever the case, a truth remains.
The House of Sylverian has long lost its dragons.
Whether today they can ride them, they must wait.
Bide time—bid with the Sith—O fly House Sylverian!


INTENT

To create site lore
For links towards
Established houses
Which can be
Interacted with
And referenced
By other PCs,
As well as to build
Personal lore for
Characters and possible
content for later threads.
No, inspiration is one thing,
But it ain't House Targaryen.

At the top you mention that this is "very much a WIP." Does that mean it is unfinished? If that's the case I'll archive this one and you can resubmit it when it is done.

If it is finished, you'll need to rewrite this in normal prose before I'll review it. You can RP your character in whatever style you want, but Lore isn't RP. Sentences and shit at the very least, if you can find it in you.
