Come and journey to Caer Mear for Sapphire Joust X!

As in years past, this promises to be an event that's not to be
missed. We promise a fun-filled weekend of heavy and rapier fighting,
youth rapier and heavy fighting, archery and thrown weapons as well as
a wide variety of Arts and Sciences.

Heavy Fighting will include a number of tournaments including the
Sapphire Tournament, a Tournament of Chivalry, A Novice Tournament, an
Order of the Kraken tournament, a St. Aiden Heraldic Display Team
Tournament and a Rose Tournament. These tournaments all promise to be
exciting to watch and the participation should be something of which
legends are made. We will also have a ravine battle for those who
need a little more fighting "love.

Rapier Fighting will include the Sapphire Tournament as well as a
Ravine and Woods Battle.

Arts and Sciences will have three tents. One will be for competitions
and displays; one for classes and one for artisans to gather under to
meet other artisans. The competitions will be the Best use of
Sapphire Gem, and Best Interpretation of the Baronial Order Medallions
(all medallions will be given to their Excellencies of Caer Mear to
use at their discretion). There will be an open display for one
wishing to show their current works in progress as well as any other
projects they may want to display. Classes will be held during the
weekend. Those interested in teaching should contact the A&S
coordinator. She will be producing a list of classes and will be
accepting registrations once the list has been compiled. The A&S
gathering tent is for those who would like to come and meet other
artisans. You may bring a project, but you are not required to stay
for the day. You may come and go as you see fit.
