PaxLair litterally means "Peace Place".  This name was suggested by Thelorn of The Band, the original guild that started PaxLair in 1998.

PaxLair has always attempted to live up to its name.  Peace is one of the Tenets of PaxLair and used as a guide and symbol that implies Respect among people and beings inside and outside the Realm.  A goal of Peace in the cities and towns of PaxLair gives more challenges to many people who seek to do more than "just play the game".  It is usually harder to establish reasons for peace, than reasons for war and combat.
