PaxLair 7th Anniversary Postponed to this Week
Reported by Neo Of Lothlore

PAXLAIR — Because of some very unfortunate incidents in the realm, Winfield and Mayor Minsk had to postpone last week's 7th Anniversary Celebration until this week!

January 19th was supposed to be a day of celebration, but the city of Britain on both moons was overran with ogre lords, ettins, trolls, lizardmen, titans and earth elementals... and in addition to that, many people could not wake up into the realm because of ethereal connectivity issues.

So PaxLair's 7th Anniversary Celebration will take place one week late this year, on Wednesday January the 26th, all times will be the same.

The official events will begin at 8:00 PM (EST) on Wednesday the 26th of January, at the PaxLair Malas Orc Fort Outpost.  (See this article for directions if needed.) 

Here is a complete list of events and times, we hope you'll attend!:

8:00 PM EST - Malas Outpost Auditorium - plenty of toasting and revelry as things warm up. There is a wonderful pub on the first floor of the Auditorium and a dreadfully furnished orc cemetary and orc fort nearby. All are welcome to mingle, catch up with old friends, meet new people, and enjoy the fine wines and ales from around the Realm!

8:30 PM EST - Malas Outpost Auditorium - Opening Ceremony and Speeches - hosted by Mayor Minsk, the auditorium should be packed with seating to accomodate more than 50 people.

9:00 PM EST - Dragons Watch Town and Tokuno Outpost - Events, Tours, and Adventures - Gates will be provided to Dragons Watch on Felucca and the PaxLair Outpost on Tokuno. These two choices are given for those who want to see either or both places and participate in slightly different events. Dragons Watch will host a net tossing on the nearby high seas. The Outpost in Homare-jima, Tokuno will offer a tour of the outpost buildings and attempted discussions with the nearby Ronins.

10:00 PM EST - PaxLair City (Felucca) - Final Speeches, Massive Gathering, and Tournament - In the full spirit of historical PaxLair, now 7 years old, all are invited to assemble at the PaxLair Twin Towers for as large a gathering as possible. The Mage/Paladins Tower was the first tower placed in PaxLair on January 19, 1998. A final celebratory speech from the Mayor will christen the celebration. After the speech, PaxLair will likely host tours of the City and a small tournament in one or more of the PaxLair arenas.

As a reminder to all of our guests when venturing to the Feluccan parts of this celebration, bring only what you'd be willing to lose just in case you are accidently attacked by some of Felucca's nasties.
