History
Originally formed as a breakaway group from the Kingdom of the Mystic Seas, they spent a brief time outside Amtgard but were brought back into the fold as a seperate Floating Crown kingdom.
This created an area (Oregon and Washington State) with two kingdoms in close proximity, with chapters intermixed in the same area and sometimes the same town. There was a lot of animosity between the groups because one group was known for breaking rules and causing problems at events.
This matter was finally resolved when VSR merged with Mystic Seas in early 2005 to form the new kingdom of Blackspire. This merger was due to pressure from the AIBOD. Some feel that this was the worst thing to happen to Amtgard in the PNW.
