I came across Amtgard in the [[Western Dragon Hills]] in Carson City, [[Nevada]] in the summer of 2001. I discovered that my home state of Wyoming had no Amtgard influence and since I was returning home for college in the summer of 2002,I brought out the swords and rule book, got my friends together and we started a park called Truevale that fall. The local community college was gracious enough to let us into the official clubs of the campus, then with my now wife Katinar Basane and my friends Blackie Lawless, Rayne, and to many others to mention we got off the ground and got the necessary paperwork to the Burning Lands. Shortly after our start we got our visit from the now Dutchy of Rivers End a growing Utah park. With that visit we got our first real taste of what Amtgard was about, thanks to Fitz and the group from Rivers End. We attended Salt Wars 2 that Summer of 2003, and we were impressed by the attention to detail that the group put forth for the event. We continued communication with Rivers End, and by then our numbers had swelled to 25-30 people a game day. Shortly after Salt Wars 3 we joined the Principality of Desert Winds that consisted of the Dutchy of Rivers End and the Barony of Desert Rose. It was obvious to us that we were doing well however: we encountered some drama and social problems that hurt the numbers, but we traversed on not stopping. We saw some dear members come and go, many a battle game played in the city of Rock Springs, WY.

History

Truevale was founded by Wyoming Native Jynx Black who had discovered Amtgard in the now-defunct Western Dragon Hills and brought the game home with him in 2002. The chapter began as a double-date with Jynx, his wife Kat, his friend Blackie and an ex of Blackie's. They would play in the lobby of their dorm at Western Wyoming Community College. From their dorm they expanded into a modest park who met in the college quad. Truevale was a founding member of the Principality of the Desert Winds in 2006. Truevale began experiencing low population issues in late 2008, but thanks to the dedication of a few die-hard members the park is undergoing a resurgence and hopes to once again become a vibrant and thriving park in the Desert Winds.
