EUROPA - October 14, 2007

People from PaxLair and Chesapeake started their journey to Europa today meeting in New Haven, Vesper, and Yew.  The purpose of the week-long visit is to meet new people and learn the ways of others, both evil and good.

They plan to visit the 9th Anniversary festivities of the Guardsmen Militia and base their visit operations out of the Vesper Town Hall Southwest of the Ironwood Inn, and South of the Minoc Moongate.  The Town Hall has a rune book on the steps for many interesting locations on Europa.  New Haven is also a staging point for training and assembly.

Governor Winfield also plans to hold the weekly PaxLair Statehood meeting at the Vesper Town Hall (Europa).  The gathering time is 8:30 PM ET on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 (1:30 AM UK Time, Wednesday).

Governor Winfield formed a guild Pax_ on Europa for PaxLair citizens and friends. By the end of the evening, several people joined the guild to include Governor Winfield, Mayor NANOC of Dragons Watch, Deputy Mayor Phoenix of Dragons Watch, Minister of Quests Eric the Red, Museum Curator Katherine, Guild Leader Nexus of United Tamers of Britannia Chesapeake Chapter, Lord of Darkness The Shadow, Mayor Ga'kuct of PaxLair City, Virtue Knight Lissa Eldi, Citizen Thraxis Mithrax, Minister of Defense Crypt Keeper, and Chief Justice Kathleen.  Several of these people are Emissaries of the Pax_ guild and may add more people to the guild.  (More information about forming this guild and meeting with various people and guilds on Europa is on this discussion thread.)

The group from Chesapeake met with Lord Kain Twothumb [-V-] (Governor of Vesper), Tae'nu Ver [-V-] (Militia Partisan), and Thaur Macil [-V-] (Militia Partisan) of Vesper.

Many people arrived in Luna to see the spectacular fireworks display on the 10th Anniversary of the Realm (Ultima Online).  People ducked for cover as fireworks shot over their heads with deafening explosions.  Others stood in awe in the middle of the field looking up to the skies.  Everyone walked away with huge smiles on their black-sooted faces.

See the event as seen by observers from the PaxLair Statehood.

DRAGONS BREATH TAVERN, MALAS - January 27, 2007 

Twas a cold night in Umbra Malas that was quickly warmed with the love that flowed in the air.  *chuckles lightly*  Of course the fire helped a bit.

On January 27th at 9 PM ET, the first-in-years bachelors and ladies ball was held.  It was hosted by Kendric of KOD, Deputy Mayor of PaxOku at his Dragons Breath Tavern in Umbra Malas.  The night went very well as 4 couples started this eve.  First was Kendric of KOD who is courting Greyylene of DAGR.  Second was DJ Sandman of UO Radio and Crystal of UO Radio who also broadcasted the whole event and will do so at the next one.  Third was Artimus of UOR and Sasha of KOD a recent member. And the fourth was Ashly of ODD and Bypolar of ODD.

We wish these couples the best over the next week as they court one another and decide if marriage will be their next step.  By the end of the evening, only the couples remained as UO Radio interviewed Kendric about the event and what his future plans where.  The evening was a great success and Kendric has invited every one to the next ball on February 3rd at 10 PM ET -- be there or be single.

PAXOKU (TOKUNO), PAXLAIR - January 19, 2007

Gareck and Finder from RBG delivered a full shipment of wine to PaxOku from Wat the Tyler in Guardians Gate.  The Governor of PaxLair ordered the wine a few days ago to be brought by sea, not by magical means.  The wine was for the PaxLair 9th Anniversary Gala Ball and Dinner.  The shipment also contained a gift from Guardians Gate of 200 ingots of each type from all over Sosaria.

Gareck said the ocean voyage was uneventful except for a few sea serpents.  No pirates were spotted and waters were relatively calm.

The wine shipment included Merlot, White Zinfandel, Rare Orc Blood Brandy, Goulish Chardonnay, and Dark Elf Shiraz.

Governor Winfield personally signed for the shipment as Gareck and Finder unloaded the heavy crates.  They took the crates to the Museum of the Virtues: PaxOku Annex in preparation for the evening dinner.

For full images of the delivery and gifts, see more below. 

MUSEUM OF THE VIRTUES AND GUARDIANS GATE - January 17, 2006

Governor Winfield recently placed a few facility and wine orders for the PaxLair 9th Anniversary Grand Dinner to be held on Friday night, January 19, 2007 at 10 PM ET, right after the PaxLair Theatre Company play at 8:30 PM ET.  He booked use of the Museum of the Virtues PaxOku Annex and placed an order for specially imported wine from Guardians Gate.  The dinner will be in PaxOku.  The meal and wine will cater to the tastes of humans, elves, vampyres, orcs, and other races.

Winfield met with Katherine, the curator of the famous Museum of the Virtues, to arrange use of her PaxOku Annex dinner hall.  The hall sits above exhibits of the Virtues, Chesapeake's accomplishments in the Ophidian war, and other recent events.

The wine ordered from Wat the Tyler and Fignut the Elder of Guardians Gate will be shipped via vessel, not magical means, to the shores of PaxOku.  There is rumor the seas may not be safe, so the Governor added extra insurance to his request.  Guardians Gate is rapidly becoming known for its excellent selection in wines.
