Details handled by Aurelius

Sypha, Becky Diaz, is both a Master Garber and a Master Dragon being knighted, of course, as a Serpent Knight. Her creations and their merit speak for themselves, full stop. Sypha is a person who has an infectious love for the game of Amtgard, and the art of WHACK.

On the battlefield, where her impact is, by the way, undeniable, she also is at the center of pregame impromptu strategy circles and is always happy to snag a few players and execute her own small unit plans, often to great effect.

Becky is a problem solver, a competitor, she has the capacity for great kindness and is seen smiling, more often than not. Becky has a lot of knowledge and the desire to share it, and Tal Dagore is all the better of have gotten her.

Sypha is being knighted with the honorific "Grey Warden" and the details of her knighting is being handled by Sir Aurelius. Her Knighting will be at Saturday Court. Her Vigil will be held on Friday night at the Shelter.

Naivin Naval, Quen Naivin Virden, is a Battlemaster and Master Smith being knighted as a Battle Knight and Flame Knight. They are a strategist and a playmaker, and also, fortunately, one of the first handful of people I met when starting Amtgard. 

With a long career of relentless service and a peerless record of good calls, field impact, adaptability, and positive energy, the only surprise is that Naivin hasn't already been representing a white belt.

Every day that Naivin has played Amtgard, it would be hard, if not impossible, to pinpoint a moment when they weren't serving their park, or the Kingdom, or heading up war games in events, from multiple Known World Wars to Rivermoor's Curse event.

Naivin has such a breathtaking array of knowledge that I would encourage anyone vaguely interested in improving their tactical gameplay, class gameplay, battle-game design, service in both local and regional capacity to take advantage of the wonderful resource Tal Dagore has in Naivin Naval.

Naivin is being knighted with the honorific "Divine Oni" and the details of their knighting is being handled by Immortal Gafiltafish. Their Knighting will be at Saturday Court. Their Vigil will be held Friday night in the Main Hall.

Arthera Rosethorn, Elizabeth Hackett, is a Master Dragon being knighted as a Serpent Knight. I see Arthera as the queen of unique and fantastical awards, every time I stop and take a look around, she is producing an award design that goes way beyond, or doing something crazy like manufacturing 20 signs for an event, creating electric paper mache mushroom lamps or hanging dozens of flower arrangements across an entire site. 

Arthera is a player who inspires me to be better, someone whose example has goaded me into sometimes biting off more than I can chew, all in the effort to make awards a truly special experience. In my opinion, someone can excel, someone can mentor and teach, someone can have good character and attitude, but a person who inspires those around them to be better is someone who has a truly knightly quality.

Her increasingly broad skillset is a blessing to Tal Dagore, and event after event we are collectively reminded of that fact.

Arthera is being knighted with the honorific "Radiant" and the details of her knighting is being handled by Sir Blight. Her Knighting will be at Saturday Court. Her Vigil will be held Friday night at the Shelter.

Madeleine Fey, Hannah Nash, is a Rivermoor native, a Master Crown and Master Smith being knighted as a Crown and Flame Knight. 

Madeleine Fey is a name that is known to me and many others and it carries the reputation of a hard worker in the service of her Kingdom and a legacy of incredible contributions to large events such as Known World War, Keep, and Curse. 

Many people, who I know to be of high character, speak very highly of her and are very great for her outstanding contributions to Amtgard, and I am very excited to get to know her further and to show support at Known World War.

Madeleine is being knighted with the honorific "Celestian" and the details of her knighting is being handled by Primarch Lauxus Stormtide. Her Knighting will be at Saturday Court. There will be a vigil/after party held after Saturday Court.

Zarad AnNasr, Nathan Miles, is a player out of Rivermoor and a Master Dragon being knighted as a Serpent Knight. 

Zarad is another name known to me, particularly in relation to his chain work. I believe a quote I recieved was "Bring up chain and you can talk the afternoon away." The enthusiasm for their work that this indicates a great attitude and a desire to mentor and I have personally seen several articles of his work in person and it is just fantastic.

While not personally acquainted with Zarad, I had the fortune to witness them in their Grouch in a trashcan garb last year at Known World War and was able to see him light up the people around him.

Zarad also has a record of service to Amtgard that goes beyond his crafting including running wargames at events, reeving events, and impacting the field with extremely impressive Scout gameplay.

I am beyond excited to speak to, and learn more about Zarad as the knight hype quest soldiers on.

Zarad will be knighted using the classic honorifics and the details of his knighting is being handled by Luminary Khagan Shin. Their Knighting will be Friday Evening. Their Vigil will be AFTER the knighting, in the Tavern.
