Otherhill is so called because the three founding members all
played other places prior to finding themselves thrown together in this
beautiful but barren dessert. That and the greater part of the villages
which are inclusive of the shire bounds are of an up and down nature.
Thus, Other Hill became Otherhill. The Shire started working toward
being
a group almost 21 years ago. Yes, I know the shire history says that we
are but 17. I am in possession of the first Seneschal�s letter. It is
dated August 1976. Since that time we have enjoyed population
fluctuations with an average membership of 15 paying and 25 playing
members. That makes us the oldest shire that is still a shire. Admittedly we started small and stayed small. In fact, we are still very
small
considering the land we cover. We have the entire southwest corner of
Wyoming, 100 miles north to south, and 100 miles east to west, with
option
to another 50 miles east and 50 north, assuming something else is built
out that way. Right now, we hold the population centers mundanely known
as Rock Springs, Green River, Granger, Fort Bridger, Mountain View, and
Evanston, with option on the surrounding areas should there be gentles
there as yet unknown to us. That makes us the largest shire by area. A
large number of our population have been at this game for more than 15
years, meself included. That was back when Otherhill was part of the
Principality of the Outlands and the Kingdom of Atenveldt was much, much
younger.
