And now, for your daily exploration hub knowhow, it's time for.... 'REGIONS N'EYRE AND FAR'

In today's show we'll be exploring the dreamlike yet treacherous region of... Silveil, in particular the popular 'Lake of a million stars' boat tour and the rumours surrounding the 12 Silver Mushrooms and the mysterious 13th Golden Mushroom, hidden in the north-western corner of Silveil's most popular forest.

Silveil! The city known for being one of the best places to view the stars, and also known for being the most likely place you'll get robbed! (As evidenced in the recent El-Niews top 100 listings this year.) A city of brilliant contrasts, one of its most popular tourist attractions is its pristine Starlake. Shaped like a crescent moon and centered at the heart of this beautiful country, it curves around the city of Silveil and is well known for containing Silveil's peculiar eldertree that grows upside down deep into the lake bed below. Recently a new boat tour has opened up for tourists across the Eyre! Run by a local Elnin representative from the local Thieves Guild only known as 'La Mér', this boat tour - labelled 'Lake of a million stars' - is only available during the warmer months. It allows it's patrons to ride aboard its luxurious sleek boat, while dining on excuisite bubbly bioluminescent soda and canapés. The boat is made from hardy Silveil forest pine wood, with a gorgeous sail of a weave of bioluminecent silvery-blue vines that grow in the forests. The boat itself is a construction to be marveled at, sleek and of the latest design. But its crowning glory, lies with its fantastic solid crystal flooring. A marvel in engineering, the semi-translucent floors allow for great viewing of the local jellyfish that are in abundance in the warmer months, as well as the Eldertree below, really living up to the tour's name 'Lake of a million stars'.  While the tour is fantastic and La Mér very informative the tour itself is... rather expensive. Running a boat with a solid crystal does add up even if you're sponsored by the Thieves Guild. Regardless the ability to get upclose to the jellyfish allows for some great photo opportunities! While this particular attraction might not be everyone's cup of tea, for those looking for a grand getaway in Silveil this might just be a fun night out.

Our next, famous sight is the twelve silver mushrooms of Silveil! In the north-western corner of Silveil's gorgeous forest lies a peculiar stretch of large paved stone steps leading up a hill shrouded in mystery. Tall thick mushrooms, growing thrice an Elnin in size, glow a whitish-silvery blue. The twelve silver mushrooms lining either side of this peculiar slope have an eerie air to them. Various charms and red ropes are tied around them to ward away bad luck. Legend goes that if you climb these steps up past the twelve silver mushrooms on a rainy day at midnight a peculiar mist will surround you, and if you keep climbing the steps a thirteenth golden mushroom will await you at the top of the slope! Unfortunately our team wasn't able to confirm this legend as the weather was lovely during our stay. All we found at the top of the hill, was a beautiful view of the city of Silveil itself. However, the rainy season is coming up in a few months, and that is the perfect time for our more intrepid viewers to come and find this elusive phenomenon! The local Silveil botanical guild, was able to provide us with a singular blurry photograph of what appears to be a golden hued mushroom standing atop the hill, surrounded by mist. They are hoping to obtain a more solid photograph of the phenomenon and a sample for growth in the Silveil botanical gardens sometime this coming Spring.

Well, that's all for today folks! So, if you're ever in Silveil feel free to stop by the Starlake and take a luxurious 'Lake of a Million Stars' Boat Tour! Otherwise, if you're out looking for a spooky thrill why not check out the 12 silver mushrooms for a fantastic step into one of Silveil's most peculiar phenomenon! Who knows? Perhaps you might even see the mysterious 13th Golden Mushroom!
