Arch Duchess Dame Sylvanista de’Ebonydaryth, Lady of Nocturnis and Standard Bearer of the Celestial Kingdom
The wild is her home * All animals her friend * She can track any creature * Shes of dark elvish kin *
Black magic she weilds * In the darkest of night * The dead soldiers rise * And prepare for the fight *
Shes the ruler of armies * Shes the queen of the land * She can destroy entire kingdoms * With the wave of her hand *
In all of the realms * Dame Sylvanista is known * But in the woods of Nocturnis * Is where she does roam * As told by Capt Black
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, help with the Amtgard Food Fight or support any number of her crazy Amtgard ideas.

Shire-squires
What is a shire-squire? All current and active members of Nocturnis are considered to be shire-squires regardless of rank, title or years of experience.
How did a shire get squired? The knight-squire relationship varies between individuals but in general consists of the knight finding opportunities for the squire to become involved in Amtgard. In other words, the knight makes the squire do lots of work. After Sylvanista was knighted, several people inquired when and who she would squire. Her response was "given how much I make the members of Nocturnis work, I should just squire the park". Thus shire-squires were created.
Can someone be a shire-squire even if he or she no longer claims Nocturnis? Some former members of Nocturnis may wish to continue being shire-squires. This honor will be extended to former members that actively supported the various projects Sylvanista threw at the park while they were still members.
What rights do shire-squires have? Shire-squires may wear a red belt and may display the shire-squire symbol of a white rook with a red belt. Shire-squires should expect to be volunteered for just about anything Sylvanista is involved with or interested in.
