PENNED FROM THE DESK OF MAYOR WINFIELD - December 16, 2005

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
