Sylvena Roma is a younger daughter of the late Lord Nironyo Roma. She had a brief affair with Sir Jordyn Kushoros which produced the bastard Jorwynne. Sylvena was hurriedly married off to Sir Sirvalimar Matreshko, one of House Roma's minor vassals. Lord Ignato Roma intended to make Jorwynne into a serving girl, but when Sir Jordyn heard of this, he traveled to Volograd and took the girl to raise as his own.
