Heraldry
History
Synging Sands was a shire founded by Raven the Muse back in 2001, but when Kaads became the second sheriff, he soon dropped his position when faced with overwhelming drama. He then stole their flag, rejoined his home shire of Crusader's Cove, and demanded that they raid him to get their flag back.
This demanded raid was met with refusal, and the inhabitants of Synging Sands were ostracized throughout the kingdom for their cowardice. Several of their past members still hold a grudge against Kaads for killing their shire, including Raven the Muse.
Several unsuccessful attempts have since been made to restart their shire, such as:
"We had some internal problems with attendance but after a year SS is back and doing better than ever. We are currently attempting to reinsert ourselves back into the kingdom of The Rising Winds."
A statement made back in 2003. However, this attempt, along with many others was unsuccessful. It is believed by many that the cowardice shown prior cursed the land.
During it's fallout, Synging Sands was infamous to being a heavy-political shire, in which the members would play amtgard for a very limited time before retiring to a restaurant to discuss the events of the chapter.
Despite this, many quality amtgarders did come out of the shire, who still play.
