- Will of Liddesdale - Warden of the North
- Eirik Gralókkr - Warden of the South
- Finley Blackthorn - High Sheriff
- Asta Knarrarbringa - High Steward

Charter
The guild's charter was presented and signed at the 42nd Tournament of Ymir.
Be it known throughout the Kingdom of Atlantia that the Brothers and Sisters of the Green have organized into a Guild of Forestry with the intent to protect the Royal Forests, the venison and vert, and the green spaces of the Kingdom; thus do we, William Thomas and Alyna, King and Queen of Atlantia, hereby grant them Royal Charter with all privileges and responsibilities.
These Royal Foresters are oath sworn to uphold Kingdom and Forest Law, to aid and assist their fellows, to protect the Greenwood, and to provide counsel at need to their Majesties and the nobility as to matters of the forest. These Foresters shall seek mastery in their craft. They shall practice and promote the woodland arts and sciences; educate and guide others in these skills; and be prepared at all times to aid those in need of safety, hospitality, or shelter in the woodland places of the Realm.
