PAXLAIR - July 5, 1999 - Winfield Winfield: Welcome Citizens and
Visitors to PaxLair. I am Mayor Winfield, a servant to all of you.
Winfield: Today, I wish to thank all of you for coming to a
re-dedication of the PaxLair library, a library that I know many of you
have used. This library was first constructed in the 5th and 6th months
of last year according to the gods' calendar. This is when the desks and
cabinets were installed, and the wonderful book displays were created. Winfield: *looks to the entryway* Winfield: And some additions to these features were made more
recently for very, very special reasons. Seer Deameon's books are on
display here not just as a memorial to him, but also as a reminder to us
what culture can be brought into our realm by people who dedicate their
heart and soul for the enjoyment of others. Winfield: *looks back at the people* Winfield: Over time, this library has grown in importance for quests
and for lore of the lands and people. Such lore is important for all of
us to know for even our own personal histories. My brother Teal and
I--we have separate histories but a common beginning. In time we too
hope to chronicle our history within this library so that those that
follow us may know what was important to us and our families. Winfield: *smiles at Teal* Winfield: *turns and looks about the library room* Winfield: The contents, maintenance, and improvements in reading
material here do not simply fall out of the sky. There have been some
very dedicated people who have worked for months upon months to bring
you the best of all libraries in the land. With nearly 200 books to care
for, the library staff here has a constant chore and a strong personal
commitment to keep things available to everyone in the realm. Winfield: *turns to Dene* Winfield: Our Master Librarian of Light is Dene and his wonderful
assistant is Kyleria Dawn, Lady of Darkness. These two keep these books
in good order. I now ask Dene to say words and you may ask him any
questions that come to your mind. Winmere: *Cheers!* you see Kyleria Dawn: [Lady of Darkness, Pxl] Dene: Thank you Mayor, I'll keep this short as I know you are
all busy and I don't like making speeches. Dene: I just want to say, I am the third librarian of Pax--the first
was Silvart who had the impossible task to start the library. Then came
Tacitus who gave his life literally so the lbrary could expand to become
not only the biggest of its kind in our world, but in all the shards. Winmere: *sighs in remembrance* Dene: Soon the library will undergo a much needed renovation, and
it's now a job for two people as Kyleria is a part of this as much as I.
So now I'd like to rededicate the library in the names of those before
me and tell you that the ether library is now open with new books added
there daily (hopefully). The ether address is http://www.paxlair.com/site10 with a link there to the library. Winmere: *Cheers!* Whoohooo! Dene: Thank you all for coming Winmere: *smiles in appreciation* Dene: I can answer any questions you have. Vail the Cook: What kind of renovation are you going to do? Dene: Any other questions? Dene: I've got books from all types from orcs to Seers to Counselors.
Anyone is welcome to submit a book on whatever interests you. Luigi gave
us a book of his recipies so you might try something along those lines
from the simple to the complex. Winfield: How may people get books into the library? Dene: Now I think there is an important quest about to start
about Jhym so I won't detain you any longer. Dene: I thank you all for coming Winfield: I want to thank all of your for coming and I thank Dene and
Kyleria Dawn for their unending interest and dedication not just to the
people of PaxLair, but to all of the entire shard. Thank you Dene and
Kyleria Dawn. Thank you all. |
