About
Rising Sun Station is a Shire under the Kingdom of Crystal Groves. Located in Alexandria, VA. We currently meet every Sunday at 12:30pm at Lee District Rec Center on Telegraph Road.
As implied by the name Station, RSS is a haven for those who think Steam-Punk has a place in the realms of Amtgardia.
History
The Station of Rising Sun, was officially formed on November 20th, 2011 by Angrist and Nimeria who held the positions of Sheriff and Town Clerk(PM) until Lord Tenebrus was unanimously elected the second monarch of RSS on 11/11/12, an auspicious day indeed. The park joined the Kingdom of Crystal Groves on 1/20/13.
During the reign of Tenebrus, RSS was completely overrun by the undead. With help from Bitter Coast and Gargoyle's Gate, the outskirts of RSS were reclaimed in January '13. The source of the undead menace has yet to be determined.
The origins of RSS are shrouded in mystery. Some say it all started with
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 park's 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!.
Unusual Members
The Chair: This member serves the most important purpose in the Shire-- it provides a place for Angrist to sit when he's not fighting. Don't blame me...blame JJ for saying "I heard all your park is was you and your chair"
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
