Do you like melees? Do you like camping, fighting and shopping on grass beneath beautiful mature trees? Their Excellencies, Sheik Mahmud Ali ben Sinan and Baroness Magge Shaw, along with the Barony of Nordwache, wish to invite all of Caid and the Known World to "Treasure Chest XII", to be held April 20th through April 22nd, 2012. We are actively preparing to host the Kingdom for a splendid weekend of camping. There will be torch light tourneys Friday and Saturday nights, various war scenarios and a team melee to claim the Treasure Chest! This year, there will be an Arts and Science area, with shade, for anyone who wants to relax and work on your art projects and visit. And as always merchant shopping!
This year’s event will again include a Thrown Weapons competition, on Saturday afternoon, when the heavy fighting is done.
