PAXLAIR - July 27, 1999 - Azazel
Winfield made this speech by the stables of PaxLair.
"Dreams are not easy to achieve. The wilderness is strange. But everyone's dream is vitally important. Not just to themselves, but to each of us together. The disturbances of late, have me concerned. But only for the present, not the future. The future is dynamic and will be fulfilling. Daily problems are what we must deal with, but not dampen our dreams. I am just commenting on some problems that arose lately. These problems seem to involve the LSD guild and the Lupars [along with various others I'm sure]. They may come here freely as anyone can. That is why PaxLair receives the benefits we do. We are open to all. We use protection of buildings as we need to to ensure our dreams come true. My dream has been for all these people, the LSDs, the Lupars, the KoC, to also use this place as a neutral ground. No where else can all types meet and exchange ideas. Not in britain, not in a dungeon, but here, in PaxLair. |
As we try to work through things each day, that is my dream. Much is
the choice of those who come though. Each of you come here by choice.
For some purpose I imagine. It may be lore, history, a quest. It may be
fighting or protecting. But in the end, this place is for all people. At the end of a hard day, an ale awaits us all in some tavern here.
The efforts of many are at work here. Many you do not see often. Your
quest, your reasoning for your being, is what makes you what you are.
That is what makes each of us. As we are sometimes forced to deal with primal forces, the basic
instincts of survival. We are an intelligent mix if races. We know we
have dreams and visions. Each of us do in some way. And PaxLair is a
place, where I and others work very hard, to offer the setting for you
all. Much is up the the individual, much up to the group. People can become famous here, if that is their dream. People can
fight here, if done with respect and honor, and hopefully in the arena.
A test between muscles and magic, and also a test of intelligence and
logic. So as I prepare my remarks to be placed in the ether today, in
response to some events of late, I remember the dream I have, and the
dreams some of you have revealed to me. These dreams keep me going. No
matter what your ambitions or your challenges. Me and my staff work hard
to try to aid all of you. To work through the chaos and the order here.
You all know that is not easy. The groups here are working hard and the
visitors and citizens as well. Each person has a role. If they do not
feel they have one, they just have to make one. That is the magic of
this place. I thank you all for listening to my babbling as an old man. You are
all my friends, and I sacrifice much for you, as you do for the town. I
am your servant. Thank you all."
Wise words, from a wise man.
