History
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 nearly six months to the day later (in 1989). Boldwen Reinholt, who helped found the Shire after moving up from Dallas, served as the Golden Plains' first (and only) Sheriff, advancing to become its first Baron when the Plains achieved that status. Reinholt's midreign was attended by King Landolf and a large delegation from the Emerald Hills. The Golden Plains' first Baronial coronation-- that is, for somebody specifically elected to that title-- was held in September of 1989, when Donar 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 Ogres, which were not believed at the time to have previously been sanctioned for use as monsters in an Amtgard battlegame-- whether this was their first appearance in the game or not, fortunately, magic-using Ogres of this ilk have not been seen in Amtgardia since. The Golden Plains become the fourth Amtgard Kingdom in 1992, (1 month before the Iron Mountains). A delegation from the Burning Lands was in attendance.
