| 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:
| | [[Category:Branch]] |
| | |
| * [[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 [[Ulfred Drommefjell| 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 [[Steingrim Wulfaresson Stallari|Duke Steingrim Stallari]] and [[Lenora di Felicie| 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 and Morag|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 [[Uther and Angharad|Duke Uther]] reigned as King.
