MIDNIGHT AT THE OASIS III:
BEYOND THE SILK ROADSept. 24-26, 2010
Canton of Nimenefeld, Apex, NCPlease Join the Canton of Nimenefeld for the III 
annual Midnight at the Oasis. This one travels down the Silk Road which was one
of the world's oldest and most historically important trade routes and its 
influences on the culture of China, Central Asia and the
West.HEAVY SCENARIO: 
- but for how long. The Fatimids are coming and have landed at Ascalon. The 
Christians can face a siege in Jerusalem, or meet the
Fatamids in the field. The First Crusade has 9,000 foot soldiers and 1,200 
knights and they will face a Fatamid Cavalry numbering
5,000 with an infantry boasting 15,000 soldiers. The Princes Raymond of 
Toulouse, Godfrey de Bouillion, and Tancred are in command
and desperately need to make their forces look larger and more numerous. So they 
raid the countryside, stealing every
available cattle, goat, and camel and herding them along. Will the rouse work? 
Will the Fatamid forces be turned back by a force
half their size? It worked in 1099, but this year may be different.The Battle of 
Ascalon!!! The year is 1099 and the Holy City of Jerusalem is ruled by 
Christendom at lastElephant Stomp!!!

be drinking, eating, drumming, and of
