History
Founded by Saint Sir Arilus Styx Nemoralis and Vincent Thorne in 1998. Rumor has it that Styx started playing a boffer game called KBC or Knights of the Broken Crown. In researching new weapon technology Styx came across the game of amtgard and Western Gate was founded. Western Gate originally started at Tower Grove Park and the populas quickly outgrew that park and moved to Carondelet in favor of a safer area, more accessible locale and better fields.
In 2009 WG submitted a bid for kingdom status at the gathering of the clans. The circle of monarchs suggested that the group spend a year as a principality to test their ability to work together with it's subgroups. They became a principality by vote of the Rising Winds Circle of Monarchs shortly there after.
