Principality of Polaris
A Principality under the Kingdom of the Rising Winds, located in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Heraldry
History
2008-2012
The Principality of Polaris was founded on April 20th in 2008, along with its sister principality of Rivermoor, out of the remains of the Rosetta Pact. When initially formed the Principality operated for a short time under the provisional name 'Steel Valley' before adopting the name 'Olympus' and [| new heraldry]. There was much controversy between the remaining chapters of the Rosetta Pact, which included North Haven, Starmount, and Mists of the Dawn. By populace vote, the Duchy of Olympus decided to invite Starmount and Mists of the Dawn to join them. Mists of the Dawn rejected Olympus' invitation because North Haven was not invited into the Principality as well. During that time, the newly reformed chapter of Three Rivers, which had then become Dark Shores, submitted their request to join the Principality and was met with a hearty approval. On February 6th an althing brought Mists of the Dawn into the group. Finally, on December 11th 2011 the Duchy of Olympus voted to leave the Principality.
2012 though present
Following the departure of Olympus from its Principality, the Imperial court ruled that the principality would be allowed to continue, as the requirement to have an anchor duchy only applied as a criteria for the initial formation of a principality under the Empire's laws. In early 2012 an althing proposal passed which adopted the current name and heraldry of the principality and took effect February 25th 2012. Another development occurred on May 19th, 2012 at The Sequel when Starmount was declared defunct, Frostdagger Falls petitioned to join, and Raven's Nest was accepted into Polaris.
During Gathering of the Clans in 2012 the Crown officers of Rising Winds, Iron Mountains and Polaris came up with a plan to help the Principality prosper. The solution was to have Rising Winds' Duchy, The Frostlands and all groups between them and the Twin Cities join Polaris, and once this union was made the Principality would make a serious effort to attain kingdom status within three years. In early November 2012 Ice Haven and Frost Lands became part of the Principality as Polaris under the Rising Winds as planned.
Polaris continued to grow and prosper. At Day of Games: Movie Edition/Polaris Endreign in May 2013, the Circle of Monarchs voted to bring in Crimson Circle into the fold. After that Wolfheim in Fort Atkinson joined the Principality. Another large jump forward took place at Great Adventurer's Challenge/Polaris Midreign and Weaponmaster in July 2014, when Ethereal Tides was officially welcomed into Polaris, and Raven's Nest as well as Crimson Circle were promoted to Barony; while Mists of the Dawn was promoted to Duchy. In December of 2014 at the Endreign of Prince Queball the chapter of Ten Towns was brought in the 11th chapter of the principality's history. In May 2015 the principality started its "good year" push as part of its kingdom bid kicking off at M.A.M.E. 2015 which drew 177 Polaricans. The average attendance of the by the end of the "good year" would come out to well over 100. At GAC 2015, Crimson Circle was promoted to Duchy. Following the conclusion of the "good year" Blackhelm Keep was taken into the fold at M.A.M.E. 2016.
