After GNWWII, which took place only a couple of months after Pacific Gathering, [[Calidran]] and Sir Derek realized that the events would end up cannibalizing each other's attendance. The two decided to combine the events into the aptly named [[Pacific War]], funding the first event entirely with their own money. The original idea behind PacWar was for it to be a self-sustaining event - the proceeds from each year going toward funding the next event.

Sir Derek and Calidran were co-autocrats of PacWars I and II. The original theme of the event was a war between the two Northwest Kingdoms of the time, [[Mystic Seas]] and [[Valley of the Silver Rains]]. After VSR became defunct, the theme of the event has been determined by the autocrats each year. The first even drew slightly over 150 attendees, with the second making a significant jump to over 225. Attendance for the event has come close to 400 in the past, but hovers around 250-300 on average.
 
 
 
After PacWar II, both Sir Derek and Calidran decided to hand off the autocratting reigns to a new crew. After being unsuccessful finding successors on their own, they entrusted the event to the [[Kingdom]] of the [[Mystic Seas]], who ran the event until merging into [[Kingdom]] of [[Blackspire]], which runs it to this day.

Pacific War (AKA Pac War) is an annual national InterKingdom event originally hosted by the Kingdom of the Mystic Seas and then was hosted by the PacWar BoD out of Blackspire and is currently run by bidding process from members of Blackspire and all of its lands beholden. The event is held in either Oregon or Washington State. This event was started in 1998 and had about 100-300+ people attend.

Originally run as The Great Northwest War by Silverlock, back when he was Regent with King Agar. After attending Arakis, he decided that the PNW needed an event. It was held at Hebo Lake and turned out to be a failure due to many things working against them, including loss of site 1 week before the event and the general inexperience of autocrating by Silverlock coupled with his inability to attend the event. The next year The Great Northwest War 2: The Apology was held by Sir Derek Roth with better success and eventually became Pacific War, the war between VSR and The Mystic Seas. With the merger into Blackspire, Pac War seems to have lost its overall theme, but has had a somewhat new direction recently with the war on the "Bloody Skeletons [that] Rise Up in the Middle of the Night to Kick Your Ass!!!!!!"
