PENNED FROM THE DESK OF MAYOR WINFIELD - December 23, 2005

Hail my friends,

This week is a time of family and friends, giving to the needy, forgiving those who annoy us, and celebrating with people of all kinds.

I know so many of you have dedicated yourselves to being in our Realm together, whether it be for adventure, companionship, or amusement. I personally have so much respect for everyone who comes to this Realm to make it a living and vibrant place.

Even with a current crisis of Rebellion in PaxOku, we note many deeds of nobles on all sides who cooperate and learn about what we can do together in this Realm. It is not really about numbers and things, but about people and ambitions. Creativity makes our Realm a better and more enjoyable place.

We ready ourselves now to pass into a new year, each of us making vowes and promises to family, friends, and ourselves. Enjoy these times together, for they will be over in a blink of an eye or in a twist of the mage staff.

Heal those who need to be healed. Offer a morsel of food to the hungry. Drop a piece of gold in the offering plate. And by all means wish well to all of the Realm with hopes for an even brighter future.

Dragonspeed!

Winfield, Mayor of PaxLair
