Chaos Wars 1

Chaos Wars 1(August 14th - 17th, 1997)

The first Chaos Wars was held in August of 1997 at Somerville Manor in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. It was started by Raban Gunther(aka Shadow) as an attempt for a western national event. One of the most memorable parts was the Treasure Quest. A real (made from Plywood) treasure chest was hidden on site with real items inside of it. Some of the items included a chain mail byrnie, a dagger, feasting bowl, goblet, a chain mail coif, and about $20 - $30 in coin that could be spent on site.

Attendees came from Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and Idaho.
