-*-Words from our Mayor-*-
Hail my friends,
There comes a time when we feel compelled to look back on a long journey so we can more clearly see where we are going next. Such a time is now.
PaxLair will soon reunite with many of our old and new citizens and friends in a Grand 8th Anniversary [Jan 13-19, 2006]. The Anniversary is a time to celebrate, reflect, meet people, and envision the future.
PaxLair originated in a small meadow NW of the Compassion Shrine on Felucca. When the new lands were discovered on different facets of our shard, many people and visitors of PaxLair moved to these different facets. Over time, PaxLair was able to expand to these facets with a purpose to keep a cohesive community intact and offer more opportunities for more people. We have done that.
We have expanded to many facets and enjoy the company of many, many people. PaxLair is now based in several locations: PaxLair City, Felucca; Dragons Watch, Felucca; Malas Orc Fort; Dragons Watch Outpost, Trammel; PaxOku, Tokuno; and PaxLane, Trammel.
These towns and cities are established, population is growing, and PaxLair remains an open place for any and all to come and be involved.
At our anniversary we plan to continue the course and build on what has been built. The next construction is not about housing and locations, but about people.
Many reflect back upon days when people had to unite to survive in a Feluccan land. Uniting today in the Realm involves much more than survival since in many cases that basic need is met by the magical protections of many facets.
Uniting as a community of PaxLair or a community of our Shard brings a wealth of opportunities to young and old. It takes us well beyond what we can do by ourselves and opens our minds and souls to fantastic journies that only exist if we create them together.
Dragonspeed!
Winfield, Mayor of PaxLair

The Paladins of Virtue ask the citizens of PaxOku and PaxLair join in to help the needy. We have placed a footlocker on the first floor of the Paladin Keep of PaxOku for donations to the needy. Please DO NOT place anything of great value in the footlocker, as it will be open for all to browse. Should you wish to donate an item of greater value, please contact Elijah Cross so that the item(s) can be stored securely until they can be distributed to those in need. Thank you for your kind and compassionate hearts! [PV]

-*-Question of the week: -*-
Do you feel that PaxLair’s balance of good and evil is threatened by recent evil devolopments?
I haven’t beheld such evil yet myself but I do think that evil, at any level, is a threat and must be dealt with accordingly – Lord Ilandor Morrhart
I think I’d have to see more of the new evil – Visago
Based upon the last poll taken by the Gatekeeper, I know Pax/Felucca was balanced. – Winmere
-*-Interview with Gareth, Vicerory of PaxOku-*-
[Tatania] Gareth, Tell me about PaxOku.
[Gareth] Paxoku is a player run city near the homare-jima gate in Tokuno. It was established by a group of elders and some new from Paxlair. It is an off branch city of Paxlair. PaxOku offers many different types of things to do for example: Relaxe at the silent rose library to read a book, or come to the paxkratoku auction house and vendors to buy and bid on items. We also have our own tavern ranging from RP events to PvP events. Plus much more.
[Tatania] You’re the owner of the Blue Light Tavern [BLT] in PaxOku. Do [Gareth] you have any special plans for the tavern in the near future?
I am the owner of the BLT however Arynia the deputy viceroy runs and operates it. The BLT has managers planning the events. We hope in the future to have at least three events a week done by different people. The plan is to have the BLT as the center gathering point of PaxOku.
*Also Miss Kayi said it was cluttery so I took some decorations out*
[Tatania] What is your vision for PaxOku’s future?
[Gareth] My vision overall is to extend the city to every building that can be placed near the homare-jima gate. I mostly have phases going, ive just finished on Phase 4 which was the auction house/vendor malls. I have several more phases to go until I reach the ultimate goal. To make Paxoku set the standerds for player run cities.
(and to out do Winfield)…oh I guess thats a personal goal. Umm.. in a good way. *smiles*
[Tatania] Is there anything you’d like to say to our readers?
[Gareth] Anything id like to say…Where is winfield when I need a speech? *thinks* Read the PaxLair Times!! If your an orc have Winmere read it to you. Come visit PaxOku and PaxLair. Oh and stop by our city vendors… good prices….I think? Also tis rummors around town that some rebels are gathering to form an army sometime next week. Not sure what thats about. Stay Safe and dont do anything I wouldnt do. Which isnt much!
-*-Christmas Poetry-*-
Author Unknown
I have a list of people I know
All written in a book
And every year at Christmastime
I go and take a look
And that is when I realise
That those names are a part
Not of the book they’re written in
But of my very heart
For each name stands for someone
Who has crossed my path some time
And in that meeting they’ve become
A treasured friend of mine
And once you’ve met some people
The years can not erase
The memory of a pleasant word
Or a friendly face
So when I send a Christmas card
That is addressed to you
It’s because you’re on that list
Of folk I’m indebted to
And you are one of many folk who
In times past I’ve met
And happen to be one of those
I don’t want to forget
And whether I have known you for
Many years or few
In some way you have a part in
Shaping things I do
This, the spirit of Christmas, that
Forever and ever endures
May it leave it richest blessing
In the hearts of you and yours.
