			== Glory War III ==
			The third iteration, '''Glory III''', took place over Independence Day weekend from noon on June 30 to noon on July 3, 2000 (A.S. XXXV).<ref>https://archive.org/details/uh-tosspot-06.00/page/16/mode/2up</ref>

			=== Site & Location ===
			Glory War moved to a new site located near '''Buford, Wyoming''' (24 miles west of Cheyenne off I-80 at Exit 335). Situated at an elevation of 7,500 feet, the mountain site featured high-altitude camping among trees and rock formations, a pond for dipping, footbridges, picnic tables, and fire pits.

			* '''Site Fees:''' $10.00 site fee ($4 for children under 16; $30 family cap).
			* '''Site Rules & Logistics:'''
			** '''Water:''' There was '''no potable water on site''', requiring all attendees to pack in their own drinking water.
			** '''Alcohol & Quiet Hours:''' Discreetly wet (pack-in/pack-out for containers) with '''no noise restrictions'''.
			** '''Pets:''' Allowed on site, provided they remained on leashes.
			** '''Altitude Note:''' Autocrats warned "lowlanders" to prepare for the 7,500-foot elevation with extra warm gear for cool nights and aspirin or oxygen for potential altitude sickness.

			=== Activities & Martial Highlights ===
			Promoted with a "Chirurgeon General’s Warning" that the event was only for those who wanted to fight until total exhaustion, Glory III continued the tradition's core motto: ''"Fight 'till you drop, Revel where you Fall!"''

			* '''Heavy, Rapier & Combat Archery:''' Heavy scenarios were designed by "some of the sickest, twisted minds in Unser Hafen," paired with equally intense fencing and archery field challenges (with combat archers explicitly requested to bring armor and gear).
			* '''Equestrian Program (Inaugural Year):''' For the first time, Glory War introduced an equestrian track under Equestrian Marshal in Charge (EMIC) '''Lady Rosslin'''. Advanced riders served as mounted security and camp heralds to enhance medieval ambiance, alongside open equestrian competitions.
			* '''Bardic Culture:''' Open bardic circles around campfires without strict noise curfews.

			=== Hospitality: The Inn ===
			Food service was headed by Innkeeper '''Lady Galiana Fitzwilliam''':
			* '''Pricing:''' $15.00 for adults (16+); $10.00 for youth under 16.
			* '''Friday Potluck:''' The Autocrat and Innkeeper provided a central meat dish for an informal Friday night potluck.
			* '''Full Weekend Meal Plan:''' A pre-reserved meal plan covered all meals from Saturday morning through Sunday night, ending with a complimentary breakfast on Monday morning before site tear-down.
