Whoo, welcome =)
Syliras is lots of fun to play in. Most players who start as a squire create a NPC Patron knight. There are a few PC knights, but they are few and far between. The benefit of a NPC Patron knight is you can model their skills towards the skills you'd like your squire to eventually learn (especially if you plan to become a mage knight for example) and you can do training threads with your Patron without needing to rely on another player. There are even NPC Patrons to pick from if you like, but most squire players will write up their Patron's description (remember, you might be playing with this 'character' a lot).
Definitely check out the starting guide and the welcome message if you haven't done so already. And if you have questions, the Mizahar Chat is always a nice place to go to with questions.
