History
Hyborea was one of the oldest Houses/Units in the Dagorhir Realm of Middle~Earth. It was formed in 1983 under Lord Halberd (Gary Bryant). Members of the Unit decided to try their hand at Amtgard in 2002.
After visiting with the Kingdom of the Rising Winds it was decided to start their own Shire located in Danville, IL. The BLBOD signed their contract July 30, 2003 and the Shire of Hyborea’s first official meeting was on August 21,2003. Hyborea quickly joined the Kingdom of the Rising Winds and began to grow.
Hyborea continued to work closely with the Middle~Earth and shared many of their members. The two groups assisted each other yet ran separate fields on different days with separate officers.
Hyborea repeatedly requested to host a Kingdom visit to no avail. After years of less than noticeably assistance to polish their magic skills Hyborea voted to leave the Rising Winds. The vote was very close separated by only one vote.
Later Hyborea was voted out of the Rising Winds due to their repeated refusals to play by the Amtgard Rulebook. Even though there were no visits from Kingdom to verify that claim. Rising Winds position was "They played a mixture of Dag and Amt. Didn't want to just play Amt." -Soldan
Hyborea struggled to continue in to the fall of 2008. However, by this time they had lost many members due to soured relations with the Rising Winds. Shortly after Hyborea's members were absorbed in to Middle~Earth.
Last known to be active 2007-03-03, but lists officers in Amtgard as late as December 2007.
