<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Night has fallen over the
Chastellet of Jacobs Ford, still under construction. The camels of Mamluks bray
in the warm August air of the River Jordan. There is a festive air in the
Castle as the seemingly impregnable ramparts are nearly complete. A great feast
and much strong drink have been gathered to celebrate the leper king’s
defiance of the Muslim heathens in their attempts to retake Jerusalem. Over the
sound of the beating drums, Regnier de Maron can be heard boasting that just
four months earlier he had single-handedly forced the great Muslim army to
retreat from the banks of the river with just one well-placed arrow into their
generals chest. Inebriated by food, drink, and good company, no one knows that
just on the other side of the Bnot Yaakov Bridge the tents of Saladin’s
Army mass to begin the siege. In the meantime . . . Join us for the feast, the
merry making, the spitting camel contest. Listen to the call of the east.<br>
