History

It lies close to the midpoint of Chicago, IL and Omaha, NE. Olympus was founded by Francois Antonio di Vini and Skrag soon after Spring War X, and the first Olympus Battlegame was on March 23rd, 2003. The chapter was originally started in Mt. Vernon, IA, and pulled in many students from the Cornell College campus. After a couple years, attendance was mainly coming from Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, and thus an Althing vote changed the location of the park to Cedar Rapids. Roughly a year later, the populace decided to rotate every other week between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.

Olympus officially joined the Iron Mountains on October 22nd, 2004, by a writ of annexation presented by Emperor Jabberwock in the lands of Querna Tema in Omaha, NE.

Olympus and Querna Tema co-founded the Principality of the Rosetta Pact and became official in June of 2005.

Olympus was elevated to Barony status during the second Crown Quals Tournament of the Principality of the Rosetta Pact during January 2006. In January of 2007, Olympus was elevated to Duchy status during the fourth Crown Quals/Coronation event of the Principality of the Rosetta Pact. Olympus was the flagship Duchy for the Principality of Olympus from its formation on April 20th 2008 until December 11th 2011, when the populous voted withdraw from its namesake principality.

Olympus self demoted back down to Barony status on March 3rd, 2013. Olympus joined the Principality of Rivermoor during Throw in the Snow 2013.
