As implied by the name Station, RSS is a haven for those who think Steam-Punk has a place in the realms of Amtgardia.
 
  
 
===History===
 
===History===
The [[Shire|Station]] of Rising Sun, was officially formed on November 20th, 2011 by Angrist and Nimeria who held the positions of Sheriff and Town Clerk(PM) until Lord [[Tenebrus]] was unanimously elected the second monarch of RSS on 11/11/12, an auspicious day indeed. The park joined the Kingdom of Crystal Groves on 1/20/13.
+
* 20 November 2011 - The [[Barony]] of Rising Sun Station officially formed
 
+
* 20 January 2013 - Officially joined the [[Kingdom of Crystal Groves]]
During the reign of Tenebrus, RSS was completely overrun by the undead. With help from Bitter Coast and Gargoyle's Gate, the outskirts of RSS were reclaimed in January '13. The source of the undead menace has yet to be determined.

* 13 June 2015 - Elevated to [[Duchy]]

* 13 July 2019 - Elevated to [[Grand Duchy]]
''The origins of RSS are shrouded in mystery. Some say it all started with''
 
=====The War=====
 
 
 
The cross gaming [[company]] [[No Quarter!]] declared war on Rising Sun due to the likeness of the park's heraldry to the company's own insignia. The war took place on the park's 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'.
 
 
 
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!]].
 
 
 
=====Unusual Members=====
 
The Chair: This member serves the most important purpose in  the Shire-- it provides a place for Angrist to sit when he's not fighting.
 
Don't blame me...blame JJ for saying "I heard all your park is was you and your chair"
 
 
 
===The Station of Rising Sun===
 
"<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>
