- History
- The first Autumn War is told to have been created by Baron Kendall and First Sergant Thorgoodson, the year after the last Alpine Pass War. Alpine Pass War was an war between BaO vs Wastekeep/Vulcanvelt, starting around 1987, sometimes held at Camp Fife (a Boy Scout camp just off of Chinook Pass). The first few Autumn Wars were between BaO and Lion's Gate, and it seems to have been created in a desire to combine the attendance from Alpine Pass War, and another small war (possibly between Lion's Gate and Fire Mountain Keep). Unfortunately, I don't have a fixed date for the year they started.
