Gulf Wars XVIII was held at King's Arrow Ranch in Gleann Abhann between the principal kingdoms, Ansteorra and Trimaris.
Highlights
- Caid allied it's forces with Meridies because of kinship between the Crowns and their populace. Meridies fought with the Principal Kingdom of Trimaris.
- Arabella da Siena was made the premiere of the Order of the Golden Lance of Caid during the same court that the Crowns of Caid joined the treaty with Ansteorra and Trimaris.
- Arabella da Siena, Leopold Grimme, Lorissa du Griffin, and Sechequr Qara were made members of the Corde de Guerre.
- The Order of the Dragon's Tooth is a Middle Kingdom AoA level war fighting award. It was bestowed on the field on HRH Edward Senestre by Their Majesties Midrealm.

Memories
- Please feel free to add your memories of this event.
From Kolfinna kottr
- Caid had a decent turn out this year, we had roughly 30 Caidans on site, 14 armored fighters, 3 rapier fighters and 3 equestrians. We were richly rewarded for making the trip as the war was so much fun, with the worlds best weather and the nicest people you could meet. Arabella da Siena was the only person competing on the Trimaris side for equestrian, and on her rental horse Chappy she only barely lost by 3 points. Mealla Caimbeul represented Caid well on the rapier field and made the final of her first tournament at the Cut and Thrust tournament. Edward Senestre once again showed his glory on the war field, where after protecting the Queen of the Midrealm, the Middle King saw fit to introduce him into the Order of the Dragon's tooth, which is their war fighting award, and we are told is an award rarely given. The Caid's armored forces enjoyed the fighting all week, but earned the title of "Caid Lemmings" during the Castle battle. My most fond memories of Gulf Wars are putting the ramps on the crenelation and storming the castle and I knew my troops had to do the same. No other unit seemed up to boarding the castle, so Caid took our 13 and the ramp, ran up to the castle and dived in and died gloriously with cheers of the entire allied Trimaris side screaming "CAAAIIIDDDDD!!!"
- Personally I got to do so many fun things this war. Sven & I rented a horse on Wednesday and competed in the Dragon Quest game. Unfortunately Ace didn't like the wall that the maiden was perched on, so our times were sad at best. Arabella lent me her horse, Chappy and I was allowed compete again and managed to score a 1:50 which I was much more happy with. I spent much time on the armored field on Thursday and Saturday, and it was just good clean fun. I took to the rapier ravine battle on Friday and fought along side Mealla and the Meridian unit. I got to spend a lot of time faced against my Royal Cousin of the East and so many other good fun fights. HRM Alethea of the East and I made sure to recognize the Calontiri rapier fighters to their King, as they were some of the most honorable and fun people on the field that day. It was one of the first events that I've been able to play in the martial activities for some time (silly back injury) and it was a glorious way to make my comeback!
