In the summer of 2007, a few members of the shattered land of [[Three Rivers]] assembled the necessary paperwork and reformed the land under the banner of Dark Shores. The Shire later struggled with a severe decline in attendance that fall, falling dormant in October until mid-spring, when they resumed playing every other Sunday. Over the next year the Shire saw the return of old members, and acceptance into the newly founded [[Principality of Olympus]]. In late November of 2008, Dark Shores began playing every week, and soon underwent an immense improvement in organization and structure. Since then, the park has continued to grow and develop. [[Dark Shores]] is currently pushing Barony numbers and is showing no signs of slowing down.
