Description:
What do you know of Babur, last of the Timurind kings, first of the Mughal?
Join Caer Mear as we celebrate the early 16th Century rule who reigned in Samarkand, Kabul, and Hindustan.
While there will be some fighting, we know many fighters will be out of kingdom, so we celebrate a man who was a patron of the arts.  He was a noted poet and created many amazing gardens with his own hand.  His autobiography was remarkable for his time.
Come learn more of the man; take inspiration from his story and tell us a tale of your persona.
Come fine tune your A&S display before Kingdom A&S.
Feast with us in a repast inspired by the places he lived.
A&S displays do not have to be based around Babur and his world, but feel free to him as inspiration.

While the fighters are away, the artists will play!
