===The Veteran War===
−
The clan's first Anniversary was planned to begin on December 11th, 2004 . After discussion, the first day remained on the 11th, but the main body of events took place from the 19th to the 24th. Day 1 consisted of the Veteran War - an interclan war in which veterans in steel defend the Bandit Camp from the non-veterans in Rune. The event is organised at Varrock west bank and followed to the Monastery where members picked cabbages for food - a reinactment of the clan's first Raid. The non-veterans have always been victorious, as a symbol of the clan's progress. Following the Veteran War, the Firefest was held (Another event which has been held every year), and the day finished with a F2P clan-only drop party. Prior to the start, a Bronze war with the Federation was held a few hours earlier.
