Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World and Sillva, Warlord of Dark World are based on the two antagonists featured in the Japanese Television Series Monkey Magic called Kin-Koku and Gin-Koku (Translated, Gold Horn and Silver Horn), who were Kings of the Underworld.
Their names might as well be based on two important pieces in the Japanese chess game, Shogi, the Gold and Silver Generals.
Sillva is the Dark World color pun meaning Silver.
This card's Chinese name, 銀魯巴, is a combination of 銀 (silver) and 魯巴 lǔbā (transcription/transliteration of ルバ ruba as in its Japanese name シルバ Shiruba).
In alchemy and economics, silver is considered valuable, though inferior to gold. It is interesting to note that Sillva has similar stats to Goldd and a similar, though arguably slightly inferior, effect. Their titles, Wu-Lord and Warlord, also sound similar. To further is hierarchy, Sillva is only a common in the gold series, while the coincidentally named Goldd is a Gold Ultra Rare.
This could be an explanation for the design of this monster and Goldd: The head of this monster consist of two skullfaces. The first can be viewed normal and the second on his forehead(rotated by 180° and using the same eyes). In contrast to Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World which head have 3 skullfaces (one big and 2 small faces rotated by 180° on the sides). The same applies to the orbs on the chest on both monsters (Sillva have 2 and Goldd have 3).
Wu 武 in Japanese/Chinese means forces or kongfu. Respectively, Sillva's Japanese name is the god of army, and Goldd's Japanese name is the god of forces.
This card appears in the artwork of Dark Scheme and Mokusatsu.
According to Master Guide 2, Sillva and Goldd are the heads of the Dark World's military and serve beneath Reign-Beaux, the political and religious authority, and Sillva is in fact the senior partner of the two. The two are in turn immediate superiors to Brron," though this was portrayed in the exact opposite way in the anime.

Previously Official Rulings
If this card is discarded from your hand by the opponent's card effect, and they only have 1 card in their hand, then you still can Special Summon "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World", but the other part of the effect will not resolve because the opponent does not have 2 cards to select.
"Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" must be Special Summoned to resolve the second part of his effect. If you cannot Summon him because you activated "Scapegoat" that turn, or your Monster Card Zones are full, then the second part of his effect does not resolve.
If the Special Summon of "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" is negated with "Royal Oppression", the second part of his effect does not resolve.
If "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" is discarded by your opponent's card effect, when his effect resolves, he is Special Summoned first, and then the second part of his effect resolves. So the opponent cannot activate "Bottomless Trap Hole" or "Torrential Tribute"; the timing is no longer correct. Also, you could not draw a card for the effect of "Card of Safe Return".
