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
- Shattered Shield also, possibly related to the West's Old Battered Helm
While we were a principality, for a short time we were the "capital" of the West Kingdom when Duke Steingrim Stallari was King of the West. He is the only An Tirian to do so, while a resident of 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.
Even 20 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.
