===The War===
+
* 13 June 2015 - Elevated to [[Duchy]]
The Cross Gaming Company [[No Quarter!]] declared war on Rising Sun due to the likeness of the parks heraldry to the company's own insignia. The war took place on the parks grand re-opening, November, 20th 2011. Forty-three people showed up from all over Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania,and even a couple from Texas. It was a straight militia ditch. First to ten wins. Six slaughters in (Rising Sun was getting their bums handed to them), a select few leaders met in the middle of the field to converse and strike a deal; 'Change your colors or your symbol, either or. You can't have both'.

* 13 July 2019 - Elevated to [[Grand Duchy]]
 
 
The Prime Minister, [[Nimeria]] had been working on two banners. The red and white that flew that day, and a new one (it did not make it to the field that day due to technical difficulties). [[Nimeria]], pulled [[Aiyana]], the representative for [[No Quarter!]] that day, aside and showed her an image, a brown, black, and brass version of Rising Sun's heraldry that [[Potato]] of [[Ambient Forest]] had presented to the officers of Rising Sun a week earlier. With that, she also took down the red and white banner, folded it up, and presented it to [[Aiyana]], striking a truce between the park, Rising Sun, and the company, [[No Quarter!]].
 
 
 
"<i>Through the steam and gears that turn
 
Deep within it's heart, it yearns
 
To bring the visitors in to see
 
And grow the numbers exponentially
 
 
 
The hustle and bustle more quiet to hear
 
Will soon radiate for all land and ear
 
Over the hill, a bright image wakes
 
Across the tracks and past the lakes
 
 
 
A great big sign for all and one
 
Behold! The station of Rising Sun."</i>
