I was at the event where they did so and it's not a very romantic
idea. Most of the early kingdoms and particularly Atenveldt (which was
using sky blue) were using azure and argent. No one except the west had
used Or as a background color much so we picked that. This was at the
Collegium held before we were a Region let alone a principality or Kingdom.
The red setting sun was because it was the sun of Atenveldt setting over
the lands of Ansteorra. THe star was chosen because it represents the name
which was thought of by Mistress Aureliane Rioghail (who was then known as
Aurelian Rigel). TA that time Oklahoma was something we hadn't considered
as a reality. It was just Texas.
