PAXLAIR CITY, FELUCCA - Paladins Cross MacLeod and Victor Knightley stood proudly last night in front of a large firestorm set at the former Drunken Orc Tavern's location in PaxLair City, which the Paladins of Virtue [PV] guild had just acquired from a local deedholder. 

As ash and many-a-plume of smoke grew into the night air over the PaxLair meadow, and a group of onlookers from ATD gathered to watch the flames engulf the wood and plaster structure; several angry Orcs from the Kaar Barashalu appeared behind the two paladins and began shouting threats.

It's no secret that Paladins and Orcs rarely get along, and often times incidents such as the defiling of the Orc Temple Ruins lead to conflict between the two opposite guilds.  The Paladins also have a uncooperative history with the Followers of Armageddon Necromancer Guild led by Zog the Necromancer.

It is unclear if tonight's incident is the beginning of such trouble, or if it was just a single event to clear away an old structure utilizing a method of cleansing by holy fire.  The newly-purchased and now ruined building and corresponding plot is said to be the future location of a defensive guard post for the City of PaxLair.
