Shanryth's Handmaidens

== Overview ==
Shanryth's handmaidens were a group of fond friends of noted member of the Ruling Family Fyth, Shanryth Fyth. Established in 300 AG, the group of loyal handmaidens went on to assist Shanryth in managing her schedule and clothing for the next three years. They were not obliged to commit to any formal code, unlike that of Diaeyne's Handmaidens, however were dwarfed by Diaeyne's as they had a maximum number of 8 members compared to Diaeyne's maximum of 18. In the months they co-existed in Helmont castle, a rivalry was well known between the two handmaiden clans, and the clique of Shanryth and Diaeyne's brother, Joparis Fyth. 
== History ==
=== Origins ===
Shanryth's handmaidens were formally established in 300 AG, at the discretion of Shanryth herself. It was comprised of a few long-time friends of Shanryth, and other locals who expressed interest in serving for her.
=== Influence once formed ===
Shanryth's handmaidens held little influence over the workings of Helmont and the incumbent patriarch and matriarch. However, they served to extend Shanryth's presence across the castle, frequently wearing pink or purple attire analogous to Shanryth's own. One such function they served for Shanryth was for scouting out possible sexual encounters for their mistress, and on occasion for themselves as they were not obliged to follow any specific code. With the establishment of Shanryth's sister, Diaeyne Fyth's handmaidens, they no longer remained the dominant group of a member of the ruling family in the castle, and so their little influence drastically deteriorated.
=== Disbandment ===
Mere months after the establishment of Diaeyne's handmaidens, Shanryth agreed to disband the handmaidens wanting to journey to Floralys to move on with her life. In Floralys, Shanryth got kidnapped, but once kidnapped Shanryth emancipated herself and set fire to her kidnapper's workplace. Shanryth was presumed missing, and therefore dead. However, unbeknown to all, she survived but wouldn't encounter her handmaidens again; dying in 309 AG by transforming into a Kromorte as her lover, Garrie, did years earlier in 299 AG.
