The Kingdom of the Golden Plains was founded as a [[Shire]] of the [[Emerald Hills]] in Amarillo, Texas, in [[1988]], attaining status as a [[Barony]] on March 11, [[1989]].  In the beginning, the group met in an empty lot next to [[Greywalker]]'s house and had weekly fighter practices in [[Boldwen Reinholt]]'s apartment complex.  [[Reinholt]] had founded the [[Shire]] after moving up from [[Dallas]], and would serve as the Golden Plains' first (and only) [[Sheriff]], advancing during his second term of office to also serve as the Plains' first [[Baron]].  [[Reinholt]]'s second midreign-- his first as [[Baron]]-- was attended by  [[King]] [[Landolf]] and a large delegation from the [[Emerald Hills]].  One notable occurrence during [[Reinholt]]'s term as [[Baron]] was the [[Great Massacre]] of 1989.

The Golden Plains' first Baronial coronation-- that is, for somebody specifically elected to that title-- was held in September of [[1989]], when [[Donar Sean Stone]] replaced Boldwen as [[Baron]].  This [[coronation]] was attended by [[Queen]] [[Alessandra]] Cheetarah Nightowl and another large contingent from the Hills.  This event was also noteworthy for being interrupted by a tribe of unusual spell-casting [[Ogre]]s who had stolen all of the [[plunder]] from the [[Plunder Tourney]].  At the time it was thought that the Ogre monster class was making its first sanctioned appearance in any Amtgard battlegame that day-- Alessandra promised that it would be included in the next rules update, and although it is no longer a spell-user, the Ogre in today's [[Dor Un Avathar]] still bears certain resemblances to the beasts encountered that day in the Plains.

Perhaps no single person had more of an influence on the Golden Plains during its first two Baronial Courts than Sir [[Flynn Lyton Telemon]].  Flynn served as [[Scribe]] during the Plains' entire period as a Shire, and then as its [[Vizier]] for a full year, handling most of the mundane tasks required to keep a chapter functioning.  Flynn was often under-appreciated, and never sought direct leadership of the Plains himself, but his diligence and support always made the [[Monarch]]'s job much easier than it might otherwise have been.  The Plains was able to steer clear of many of the pitfalls that killed so many other chapters during Amtgard's formative years, largely due to Flynn's quiet stewardship.  Current citizens of the Plains will always owe a debt of gratitude to Flynn Telemon, for in many ways they've inherited the house that Flynn built.

On November 12, 1989, Donar was forced to resign from office due to external circumstances that would have prevented him from attending Amtgard for an extended period of time.  [[Sicarius]] Ceacus was appointed Baron Pro Tem by a vote at the next Allthing, in accordance with the [[Emerald Hills]]' [[Corpora]].  In December 1989, after a new round of [[Qualifications]], [[Dustin Darkenmane]] became the second person elected to serve as Baron of the Golden Plains-- the third Baron in Plains history.

During Sicarius's brief tenure and continuing into Dustin's first few months in office, a controversy erupted when the [[Burning Lands]] ruled that Kingdom contracts would no longer apply to subsidiary lands-- meaning that the Plains would have to submit its own contract, under its own name, or risk losing its standing as a sanctioned chapter of Amtgard.  Despite initial widespread resistance to the idea, much credit is due to the newly-installed Vizier [[Desari]] Sagitar for persuading the populace that entering such an agreement would be in everybody's best interests; perhaps characteristically, the Golden Plains was the last subsidiary land under the Hills to contract with the Burning Lands.

History

The Kingdom of the Golden Plains was founded as a Shire of the Emerald Hills in Amarillo, Texas, in 1988. It quickly attained status as a Barony on March 11, 1989 and in 1992 the Golden Plains became the fifth Amtgard Kingdom (one month before the Iron Mountains). Over the years the Kingdom added provinces along west Texas as well as eastern New Mexico. The Kingdom consists of a varied populace involved in many different aspects of the game. Previously a static crown monarchy, the majority of the kingdom populace voted for Golden Plains to become a floating crown in early 2010. In June 2011, the former crown lands seceded and became a freehold and later a shire of the Burning Lands. The Duchy of Irongate was then soon established as the new kingdom seat due to its central location for althings and events.
