'''Silvamord''' was a female fox resident of the [[Land of Ice and Snow]] and the mate of the Foxwolf, [[Urgan Nagru]]. Though smaller than him, she was still a vicious fighter. She enjoyed taunting [[Gael Squirrelking]] and his family, though her taunts often backfired. She wore a skirt made out of the tails of dead animals. Silvamord often bickered with Nagru.<br />
<br />
Silvamord's arguments with Nagru came to a head while he was fighting escaped prisoners [[Mariel Gullwhacker]], [[Dandin]], [[Glokkpod]], and [[Meldrum Fallowthorn the Magnificent|Field Marshal Meldrum]]. She sent [[Bluebane]] to spy on Nagru, but didn't know that Bluebane was actually on orders from Nagru to spy on ''her''. Silvamord's plan was to promote one of her followers, [[Graywort]], to Captain. This plan worked for a moment, but Nagru knew what was happening, so he sent Graywort to instant death at the hands of Mariel and company.<br />
<br />
Silvamord and Nagru made a truce, and agreed to try and capture the escaped prisoners as they swung down a rope to the battlements. The plan backfired, as the rats were attacked at the right moment by [[Iris Streambattle]] and her otter crew. Silvamord tried to chase the escaped Mariel but failed to catch her.<br />
<br />
During the [[Battle of Southsward|siege]] of [[Castle Floret]], Silvamord was given command of the rats staying within the castle while Nagru moved out into open territory to hunt down the [[Southsward|Southwswarders]]. She unfortunately encountered the relief army under [[Joseph the Bellmaker]]. During the ensuing battle, she killed the shrew [[Fatch]] and escaped. [[Rab Streambattle]] saw her jump into Floret's moat, leaped after her and killed her in the water.<br />
<br />
===Etymology===<br />
Silvamord's name appears to be a derivation from Latin, the words ''silva'', meaning forest, and ''mors'', meaning death; thus her name could be interpreted as "forest of death" or "death from the woods."<br />
<br />
Her name could also be derived from two Danish words, ''selv'' and ''mord'' which put together literally means "self-murder." Her escape might imply this, but not necessarily.<br />
