Sylvanista de’Ebonydaryth

Marquess Dame Sylvanista de’Ebonydaryth, of Nocturnis Celestial Kingdom

Biography

Sylvanista started playing Amtgard in the Barony of the Borderlands (Emerald Hills) in 1994. When the Borderlands was raised to Principality, she had the honor of serving as the first principality regent. In 1998, she moved to the Duchy of Mordengaard (Wetlands). While in Mordengaard she was almost always selected as the Guildmaster of Scouts. In 2006, she was one of the cofounders of the Shire of Nocturnis. If you spend too much time around her, you will be volunteered to walk in a parade, work some type of Amtgard demo, help design a quest or support any number of her crazy Amtgard ideas.

What's in a Name?

Why Sylvanista? When I heard about Amtgard and was told about the possible classes I could play, I knew I wanted to play a scout. Sounded like the perfect class for someone who loves being outside especially in wooded areas. All I had to do was pick a persona name. I wanted something that related to being a scout. Sylvan was perfect (meaning of or pertaining to the woods). Now I just needed to make it sound more feminine. I was really excited to have a persona name my first day. Most people out at the park teased me for wanting to be an elf. It was several weeks before someone finally told they thought I "stole" my name from Dragonlance. I might have figured it out sooner but I had never read a Dragonlance novel. :)

Why de'Ebonydaryth? When I started Amtgard, most of the people I new in the game had long names. Growing up, I had a black cat named Daryth. I came up with the last name as a bit a tribute to my memories of Daryth.
