WELCOME!
Born out of the "Four Baronies in the South" of the Kingdom of the West in A.S. X, the Kingdom of Caid has continued to thrive and grow. As students of history, we have the unique advantage of being able to study our own history as well as the past, and that's what this site is all about. Herein you will find photos and reminiscences that tell Caid's story. Some of these are our legacy from the Kingdom of the West, and others more recent. We want to update and improve the collection, so if you have something to add, be it photo or chronicle, please send your contribution to Duchess Natalya de Foix at

It was clear to us that we needed to have a central repository of Caid's history, so here it is...
