As with any living being, the food surrounding Sylvakits is as important as the Sylvakits themselves. While they are a new species to the world, they are as varied in their taste preferences as any person might be. As such, many methods of agriculture have been developed and refined over the few centuries they've been around to better suit their needs and the climates they may migrate to.
Farming & Leylines
Sylvakits are a highly adaptable species, and as such they thrive with the challenge of finding ways to help things grow in climates they may not normally do so in. As such, they've developed a method that makes use of the leylines that flow throughout the entirety of the world.
To facilitate root growth and encourage rich flora, scientific minded groups have found a way to encourage a symbiotic relationship between the land’s natural Mycorrhizae and the deep welled leylines. This has proven to not only give a boost to plant hardiness, and bigger yields, but it has also shown to lower growth time for faster yields, as well.
Each different type of magic that is infused into a crop has a tendency to produce a different result or boon. Crops that are not native to certain environments can benefit heavily from these infusions, helping to develop a natural immunity to the elements that would normally cause issues. For example, plants native to a cold environment may be infused with fire based elements to develop a defense to warmer climates.
For some environments, like the desert, crops may find difficulty growing within the sands, unless they are native to that environment. Hydroponics, powered through leyline crystals, have been developed for soilless methods. Without the direct access to the magic running through the soil, or the mycorrhizae provided by the land, these plants require much more attention than most; Much more material and infusion. Some results could prove to be disastrous or miraculous, depending on the attention spared to these crops.
Because of these methods that have been developed, food is easy to delve into and the result is a robust culinary culture. Sylvakits are happy to enjoy dishes from other cultures and adapt them to their needs and tastes, as many others do.
Housing & Environments
Sylvakit housing is often very nature-based. They use clay or other earthen materials and specially-grown roots to form the foundations, and many use aethertech for any additional features the house needs. If the climate is colder, they may swap out for a straw bale method instead. These houses can be painted with natural paints or dyes and decorated to the residents' preferences.
The climate that the house lies in may determine the kind of colors, decor, and construction layouts to help maximize how well the house regulates heat. Many homes are built close together with lots of natural growth between them to assist pollinators and make up for any clean-cut areas for development nearby. Typically if a home of Sylvakits needs more space, they will build upwards rather than outwards, and use a large tree as a central foundation for the expansion. If in a mountainous area, they may utilize the mountains instead if their homes are built against the sides of one.
Earthen homes are not the only type of home a sylvakit may live in, but it is the most common and culturally significant to them. There are many who live in modern, fully man-made homes instead of their traditional ones.
Fashion
As with other species, Sylvakits developed a sense of fashion over the centuries they have been around. They are as varied as anyone else, and love to experiment with different textiles.
The fashion industry is booming with so many of Terivia's peoples working in it, with their unique ideas and viewpoints. From classical attire to techwear, everything and anything is available to suit one's needs and fashion sense. You'll see people wearing anything from fantasy-inspired attire to modern attire.
