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 signed/approved contract was returned in June of 2003).

Olympus offically 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.
