Rakis 2005
Rakis is the summer coronation event of the Empire of the Iron Mountains. Originally, it was held at the Great Sand Dunes National Monument, hence the Herbert-esque name. After being thrown out of the Sand Dunes, Rakis moved to Golden Eagle campground near Colorado Springs, famous for the giant insect statue known as Bugzilla. In 2003, the event moved to the Lost Burro campground, near Cripple Creek, Colorado. The weather and elevation earned the event the nick-name "Little Clan".
Rakis long ago made its name as the premier Amtgard Jugging event of the year.
Rakis Trivia:
There have been two Rakis X events, and two Rakis XIV events, due to politics and disagreement as to when the first Rakis event was held.
The name of the event was originally Arrakis, because it was held at the Great Sand Dunes. The first year it was moved it rained almost constantly, and the event's name was changed to Rakis, just as the planet Dune was renamed when the rains came.
