'''Saint Silvana''' was the leader of the [[Order of the Argent Shroud]].
She was one of the first Sisters and during the [[Age of Apostasy]] she traveled to the [[Golden Throne]] alongside [[Alicia Dominica]].{{Fn|2}} In the years after the Apostasy she was among the first Sisters to lead crusades in the name of the [[Emperor]]. Shortly after Dominica founded the [[Order of the Ebon Chalice]], the remaining Sisters of the [[Convent Prioris]] were placed under Silvana's command. However she was struck down before she could ever lead a [[War of Faith]]. The circumstances of her death remain mysterious. Most reliable records say she was poisoned by a [[Death Cult Assassin]] and suggest that the murderer was an agent still loyal to [[Goge Vandire]]. However other accounts state that the [[Alpha Legion]] may have played a part. The Sisters of the [[Order of the Argent Shroud]] maintain that the assassin had attempted to kill Dominica, but Silvana sacrificed herself.{{Fn|3}} Silvana was an equally mysterious character in life. While her deeds are well known, not a single word of transcript of her speech has survived to this day.{{Fn|3}}
The journal of [[Ecclesiarch]] [[Alexis XXII]] states that her body was laid to rest within the inner sanctum of Convent Prioris, but mysteriously vanished after seven days. Only a silver image of her bones was left, imprinted on her death shroud. This shroud became a relic for which her Order is named.{{Fn|3}}
