         Come one and all and join us as we journey to exotic lands and
         fight for the fair city of Jerusalem.  The time is the First
         Crusade, and we are in the environs of that magical of holy
         cities.

         leave.  .  .  .  Among the delight offered up to you, you will
         find brave souls fighting for the city, beautiful dancing women,
         classes to occupy and enlighten the mind, a tavern run by Lord
         Geoff Weakarm, drumming, dancing, and much more!

         A wonderful Middle Eastern feast will be served up by the lovely
         and talented Lady Sarah Navarre, featuring lightly spiced chicken,
         as well as other tempting Middle Eastern dishes.

         There will be both chivalric and rapier fighting, and a
         Challenge Tourney for Monday.

         An A&S competition will feature any work you can create using
         anything you can find at the site that is not your own (this does
