The Kingdom of the West is An Tir's parent Kingdom. That is, the Kingdom of An Tir was once the Principality of An Tir, a branch of the Kingdom of the West.
As a principality, An Tir grew and adopted much of the culture from our mother kingdom. For example, many of our awards are based on Western awards:
- Muckin' Tall Maul was based on the West's Muckin' Great Clubbe
- Old Shattered Shield also, possibly related to the West's Old Battered Helm
- Order of the Grey Goose Shaft started in the West in 1980, and while now closed there, still continues here.
- Forget-me-not seem to be based on the Queen's Cypher award in the West.
Originally, like the West, the Principality of An Tir had three Coronet Tourneys a year, until Prince Ulfred I changed it to two to be more in line with the Pacific Northwest weather, with a coronet tourney at the start and at the end of summer.
While we were a principality, for a short time we were the "capital" of the West Kingdom when Duke Steingrim Stallari and Duchess Lenora di Felicie were King and Queen of the West. They are the only An Tirians to do so, while residing in An Tir.
An Tir separated from the Kingdom of the West in AS 16. King Radnor and Queen Esmeralda crowned our first king and queen, Manfred I and Morag on January 16, 1982.
Even 24+ years after becoming its own kingdom, An Tir still retains close ties to the West Kingdom. An_Tir-West_War is a yearly war between An Tir and the West that is held over the Fourth of July weekend somewhere on the An Tir and West border lands.
In AS XL, An Tir found itself drawn even closer to the West, when Duke Uther reigned as King.
