I only know what little I've heard about a *very* serious incident in 
one of the kingdoms (I can't even remember which) involving a broken 
epee.  I don't think I could safely post anything about it on the net 
because my source was *extremely* second-hand.  Suffice it to say 
that if even part of the rumors are true, (either about the incident or 
about how reporting it was handled,) it could have serious consequences 
for fencing in other kingdoms besides Meridies.

I was kind-of expecting additional information about it to show up 
here on it's own.  Outside of checking into other Kingdom nets, (surely
an incident of this magnitude would have sparked *some* kind of 
discussion somewhere-?) my suggestion is contacting our Kingdom 
Marshal or Kingdom Rapier Marshal to see if they know anything 
"officially."  If they don't know by now, they'll probably be wanting 
to find out.
