Twelfth Night in Samarkhand:

Even now, messengers are winging their way the Great Khan's Hall, telling himj of the splendidly arrayed caravans nearing the end of the perilous journey across Caid to Samarkhand. In anticipation of this day, the Khan has called together the greatest artisans, entertiner4sw, and cooks within his vast realm to prepare all manner of divertissements for your enjoyment.

Opulent Table Setting Contest In keeping with the theme of Sable/Argent/Or, the Khan will reward the most Opulent Table Setting. Unlit candles may be put on the tables. 35: winde tables seat 8 (4 on each side).

Revel: The Revel will include dancing; theatrical, musical, and prestidigitational performances; a special auction by the Tavern Guild; and the Traditional Costume Contest; The revel fee is $3.00 if you are not attending the banquet. If you desire something a bit quieter, Scheherazade's Cavern will be open in the evening for you to display your bardic skills. The Khan's Bard Extraordinaire, Sir Charles of Dublin and members of the Bardic Consortium, will be on hand to share their vast repository of music, song, and poetry with all and sundry. The Seragilo will be available under the gentile guidance of lovely Baroness Lyndia of Woodlyn for ethnic dance in the evening. There will be a Chirurgeon's Station in the foyer for those in need. The Khan's own Gamesmaster, Earl Edward Ian Anderson. will provide ample opportunity for you to while away the afternoon and evening with various games and wagering contests. Heralds will traverse the site, announcing special activities. You will also receive a packet with a programme, your banquet favor, the day's schedule, a site map, a restaurant map, and bank addresses when you arrive. Dressing rooms will be available. Mistress Beth Carpenter of Rye will provide programming for the Caidan Crescents. The 12 Night Costume Contest will be held at the revel.

¹ The Sanctuary had been rented for a specific amount of time, so the normal Grande March had to be shortened and court absolutely positively had to be on time, to prevent additional rental fees. ² What ATM cards used to be called. ³ Smalls = children. The term went out of style and was replaced with "Youth"
