The now Crumbling Building was at one time the center piece for Quests and Activities in PaxLair. Originally established in October of 1999 by future mayor Don Martin as a Casino and Quest Center, it operated Casino nights on a weekly basis as well as was a quest center for the town and for the guild of the Veiled Alliance [V*A].

After a bit of stagnation the building was then claimed by Ga'kuct and the Kaar Barashalu Orc Clan and made into their own and was a center for much activity as guilds from all over tried and take the Orc's new home. 

However in February of 2005, Queen Sara, in looking for a mystical chest, destroyed the building until it sits at the condition it is today. The building has continued to decay, even after Queen Sara was vanquished, and what lies within the Black Well is still a mystery.

The Defence Fortress stands on the land originally known as the Orc's Breath Tavern, a tavern owned and operated by the Orcs of PaxLair. The tavern was the first building ever placed in PaxLair and was initally a forge for PaxLair, until it was eventually claimed by the Orcs for their own personal use.

The tavern was home to many legendary PaxLair Orcs, too many to be named here, and was exclusively used by them, slaying any human that wandered in and demanding fees to any that wandered by.

In January of 2005, after being abandoned by the Orcs long ago, the Paladins of Virtue took control of the building and established the Defence Fortress, being on the road into PaxLair, and the only clear opening between PaxLair and the Valley, it is a very strategic location.

The Ebil Uruk Hut is located next to the IGM created Olag Hai Orc Fort, but due to the Olag Hai Clan disbanding it was claimed by the War God and given to the Kaar Barashalu Orcs.

The War God also built this building, from the finest twigs and Ogre dung, and gave it to the Kaar Barashalu Orcs. The Orcs now use the building as their home base and will defend it against intruders and trespassers, although they occasionally allow visitors near the fort during celebrations (such as celebrating the War God) or when proper tribute is given.

Klug da Stu Makr is an Orc of the Kaar Barashalu Clan and does the Clan's cooking, being a Grandmaster Chef. Before Klug came along, there was much strife within the clan, as they were unable to find a good meal. The food that was cooked by the gruntees was always burned or not cooked at all. Not until Klug came did the Orcs finally get to eat a meal that they didn't later vomit up.

Because of Klug's unique talents, he is highly regarded on the same level as a Shaman, and is the creator and keeper of some of the most secret orcish recipes.

The Ladies of the Lair was established in April of 1999, a tavern destined for greatness, it became one of the staples of PaxLair and one of the most visited establishments in the land.

The Ladies of the Lair was established by NightStorm and Cyndra Koltos and run by a crew of all female bartenders who called themselves "The Ladies of the Lair", which was also founded by NightStorm. The establishment rose to great heights in popularity with hundreds of people visiting it weekly and commonly a center of activity as it was one of the few truly neutral buildings of the time, allowing the entrance of even the most villainous murderers of PaxLair.

In less than a year, the tavern became one of the most popular places in PaxLair and became blessed by the Gods in November of 1999, only seven months after its creation.

The building still stands today, in its original form and can be used by any person looking to host parties or get togethers. Just see the "Read more..." (below) for contact information.

The tower is physically connected to its sister tower, the Necromancers Tower, to its west via teleporters on the roof.  It also has a unique blue gate on the roof taking the person directly inside the front door on the first floor.  These features were added by the 'gods' in 1998 as PaxLair became one of the bustling communities on the Chesapeake Shard.

On November 11, 1998, Lord British (Richard Garriott) personally visited this Tower, bestowed honor on the PaxLair community and mounted a plaque above the main doors reading "Proclamation of Distinction By His Royal Majesty Lord British".

The Necromancer's Tower exists to help balance PaxLair between good and evil.  This tower has long been the location where evil dwells, most recently the Followers of Armageddon [F A].  Here is where evil perform their séances receiving energy from the nearby Flame Monument outside and from many dark artifacts inside.

To strive for balance, this tower is physically connected to its sister, the Mage and Paladins Tower, to its east via teleporters on the roof.  It also has a unique red gate on the roof taking the person directly inside the front door on the first floor.  These features were added by the 'gods' in 1999 as PaxLair continued to be one of the bustling communities on the Chesapeake Shard.

All walks of life are welcome here, particularly "role-playing Evil".  As you walk through the dark halls, you may hear the wailing of wraiths while necromancers perform their rituals and prepare themselves to fend off the Paladins of the land.

"Open to all Blacksmiths Novice to Grandmaster"

The small forge just east of the Mage/Paladins Tower of PaxLair was created in the early days of PaxLair, thus one of the original buildings.

It was enhanced by the gods (Interest Game Masters) when it was used for the PaxLair community as a completely open building for all blacksmiths to use a forge.  Crates and items exist in the building for more ornamentation than function, but it did add a lot to the area in a time when items could not be "locked down" in buidings.

The building was created by Driftwood and donated to PaxLair when he left.

Two large chimneys dart from the roof of the former PaxLair Inn, an establishment in PaxLair Felucca that was constructed as a location for all citizens and friends of PaxLair to rest safely (friended).  The Inn sat directly north of where the old PaxLair Inn - ran by Catherine - sat.  Initially the Inn also housed a winery and distillery but growing barley and grapes in Felucca proved futile.

The Tall Tale Tavern & General Store, most known for it's simple name - The Saloon - has been a fixture in the history of taverns, arts and entertainment places in PaxLair for almost the life of the town itself.

The building, originally a large brick design, is now customized with a similarly-shaped design to incorporate a shop, bar and garden.

In its heyday the Saloon was one of the two most popular establishments in town, alongside the Ladies of the Lair; both of which were often sites of round-the-clock activity and host to numerous fun events.

Current and future plans for the Tavern include the addition of an Inn to replace the current Inn next door which is slated for demolition in the next month, and the construction of a roofed shop/general store.

Hear ye! Hear ye!  The PaxLair Meeting is now in session!  All rise for the esteemed Mayor and Ministers of PaxLair!

The call goes out to assemble the citizens, alliance, and friends.  The scribes in the library close their books and run up to the meeting chamber to get a good seat.  Guards assemble at the doors checking all that pass through.  The place is crowded, standing room only.  The Mayor enters ... and the meeting of PaxLair gets underway.

Built upon the ruin of the Second Chance Provisioners (SCP) and within a stones throw east of the PaxLair Mage and Paladins Tower, the Town Hall is a symbol of community and cooperation.  In the SCP days, people gathered from across the land to have their equipment mended, to purchase over-the-counter goods from the merchants, and to sit a spell while the blacksmiths worked hard at their anvils and forges.  Now built as a Town Hall, it continues to help bring unity in a dangerous land.

Troubadour Hall was originally a Sandstone House with patio until it was converted into a customizable plot upon the release of the Age of Shadows by Odin, a former defender and ally of PaxLair. When Odin left the realm he donated the building to PaxLair, where it eventually became Troubadour Hall, home of many legendary musicians.

The mists flow across the PaxLair meadow.  Whispers come from all directions as you approach this building.  Your pulse quickens. Your horse is nervous.  You think you see a shimmer of light coming from inside.  You blink.  The light is gone.  You gather your strength to enter the building but can not.  The doors are locked, or are they?  Magic around the doors seem great.  More whispers.  Your horse bucks and throws you to the ground, then it bolts away.  You stand up and feel something touch your shoulder.  Something cold, something hot, all at the same time.  You turn and face the building and gaze into the seeing and unseeing eyes of The Gatekeeper of the Underworld.

Urk hut is a mysterious building which lies West of PaxLair in the grassy valley. Many tortured screams have been heard from this small building, as it is believed to be the home to the Kaar Barashalu Warboss, Gakuct.

Although it is small, Ga'kuct has said on many occasions that a small army of dead elves could fit inside and underneath the house, in the crawlspace. So all Elves, Kobolds, Vampires, Humans, Ettins, Ogres, and any other Non-Orcish creature should watch their step when walking by the Urk Hut.

The Ye Olde Pax Wood Shoppe was established in the Spring 1999 by Eli, who had started his carpentry career long away from PaxLair. Eli started his modest carpentry career by giving away goods beside the great mountains outside of Britain , it wasn't until he moved to Corwyn did he begin a true carpentry career.

At first he had a modest vendor established inside the Mayor's Office in Corwyn, and he diligently operated it until he met a man by the name of Don Martin, who introduced him to PaxLair's Mayor, Winfield. Eli expressed interest in running his own shop, so in the good name of PaxLair, Nightstorm of the Ladies of the Lair, gave Eli a modest small home located inside of PaxLair, so that he could run his own shop.

The shop became one of the most prominent shops in PaxLair, and was operated by Eli for hours on end, working tirelessly in a time when furniture could be stolen by anyone; Eli kept PaxLair in excellent supply.

Today, the home stands as a customized design of Eli’s own and has NPC vendors outside, forever keeping furniture supplied, to those who need it.
