਀ ഊA bit of history of the Estrella War is in order here....the first one, the Notorious Caid Invitational during the reign of Johnathan (Whytewolfe) I, was held at Estrella Park. The park at that time was seriously undeveloped, so we moved it to Burro Creek Campground, in Northwest Arizona, just north of Wickenburg. We outgrew that in about two or three years, plus we got tired of the blue-haired old ladies in their RV's gawking at us and getting in the way, so Master Zoltan Kovacs (Kirby Wise-Fraser) offered to host it on a plot of land by his place out by Bouse, AZ (in the Middle of Nowhere.) This plot of lad was VERY undeveloped, and these wars are referred to as the "Catbox Wars." Then, Estrella Park was seen to be developed, so we moved it back there.

਀ ഊMany many moons ago, back when the world was but freshly formed, and there were only a handful of Kingdoms, the Barony of Winters Gate did send one of its members, Joshua the Bleak, to these Fabled Lands, to claim them in the name of the Lord Protector of the Western Lands of Oertha, the Baroness of Winter's gate, and through them, the Crown of the West.
਀ ഊA year or so later, we recieved word from Joshua that he had, indeed, planted the banner of the Barony on the South Pole.
਀ ഊA year after that, Lord John of the Brownwoods did plant a banner upon the North Pole, and did claim all lands between these two banners as Crown Lands and Hunting Preserve of the Prince and Princess of Oertha, to be overseen by the Baroness of Winter's Gate.  (The Crown of the West also has priveleges there as well . . .)
਀ ഊWhile he still worked for Alaska Fish and Game, he did defend this challenge every fall when he was flown to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to count caribou.  (The wording of the challenge was that any crown that did wish to claim these lands would meet the forces of Oertha at the time and place of His Highness' choosing.  John was the autocrat, and he held the event up in ANWR.  Mostly because his garb was warm, comfortable, and allowed him to blend in to the scenery.)
਀ ഊFor nearly 5 years, the Oerthan claim to these lands, and all lands between, has gone unchallenged.  Even the other Kingdoms have acquiesed in this claim, by paying the true and just excise tax to Oertha as the challenge states.  (Something about a ready supply of water and summer weather shipped north at the owners expense . . . the wording was deliberately vague.)
਀ ഊThorfinn Halfblind.  Who dearly remembers the day when Eric Bearsbane, as Prince of Oertha was presented with the notice about the vast holdings he was prince of, by a Barony that fielded two fighters at the time.

਀ഊWhoops.  Let's try again.  To noble Dur and all others who might read this greetings from Gyrth Oldcastle of Ravenspur.  No, Arval is right.  The story is that in the long ago (about Pennsic 3) , there was one fellow in the deep south (Georgia) named Kalakon Kal the Armless.  One thing led to another and he petitioned the Board to rearrange the universe.  This they did by fiat amd gave the very young Meridies (maybe not even Meridies, maybe just Atenveldt) Georgia and Florida which up until then were property of the Eastern Crown.  They informed the monarchs of the East of this abridgment after the fact.  Atlantia was never held by any Crown save the East (and the West I suppose) and the glorious monarchs of Atlantia, fairest of all kingdoms.
