History
The Station (Shire-level) of Rising Sun, located in Alexandria, VA would like to announce it’s formation, and first meeting on November 20th, 2011 and then, every Saturday at 1230 at Lee District Park on Telegraph Road. As the primary signatory, I, Angrist, will be acting in the capacity as Sheriff for the next six months while we build our numbers and can have a proper crown qualification. Nimeria, the second signatory, will be acting in the capacity as Town Clerk (Prime Minister) for the next three months until a proper election can be held in accordance with the corpora of by-laws.
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 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'.
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!.
The Station of Rising Sun
"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." --Nimeria
