Now seeking people to play as Villagers of the village of New Paws!

The Village is an independent community, meaning politically neutral, north of Trinsic, along the swamp; near what was once the village of Paws.

We are seeking merchants, peasants, guards, and all interested in taking part in this small community.

New Paws is also the name of an alliance of sub-guilds. While the main guild is S-C, and the Elders of S-C act as a ruling Council of the Village, common folk and those not interested in the darker side of the story, are welcome to join one of the sub-guilds within the Alliance. Currently the sub-guilds are:
The Village of New Paws [Paws]
-this is to be made up of the general population of New Paws, merchants, villagers, village watch/guards, etc.
The Cats Lair Tavern [Cats]
-for the staff of the Cats Lair Tavern in New Paws.
Deepwood Rangers [DWR]
-a group of independent rangers, druids, and the like, who make New Paws and the surrounding swamp their home. They look after the environment that is the swamp.

(Alliance Chat is used as one big guild chat, and each guild mentioned is included in the Alliance, along with the Spectral Court. All are welcome to join, and below will be a rundown of the idea behind the village.)

New Paws:
Sitting just below the site of the original village of Paws, New Paws is a politically independent village of many different types of people. Mostly merchants and common folk make up the village, however they are supported by membership in a Trade Federation and Union. This organisation looks after trade in the village, and helps care for the needs of the villagers as a whole, economically.

The boundarie sof the village stretch from the small open plains along the coast north of Trinsic, just into the edge of the swamp, and is bordered to the North by the headquarters of a Regiment of Lord British's troops. While the village itself is neutral and independent, it also works to be on good terms with all who visit, so as to encourage trade.

The Towns people are open minded and hard working, finding that matters that effect trade are often most important, and thus having minimal concern for racial and political differences. To be short, they just do not have time for such worries, unless threatened.

The Village is looked over by a Council of Elders, who direct the actions of the Trade union and the Village Watch. Little is known about them, other than their leader is currently Lady Hutula Sanctos, who once made Magincia her home.

The village welcomes new citizens and merchants to be a part of their growing community.

(So, if you are interested in joining, please send me a PM, with a request or any questions! Thanks! -Hut.)

Note: You can in some ways think of this as a slightly more organized and structured version of things such as the CoRE stone. All are welcome who wish to make New Paws their home. It is a neutral place, and you can mostly be and do what you want, as long as it fits into the general idea behind the village. So, ALTS are welcome, though as always main are preferred. So if you have a character who needs a home, wish to try something new, please, feel free to take part in this new community!

One thing's a little vague... are you called New Paws because you're... cat people?

New paws was a town they left out of Ultima Online that existed in the old single player games wasn’t it?

No Paws was the town in the Ultima games, I think they just named it New Paws here.

Yup Paws was the place in the Ultima games, New Paws is it's reincarnation on Europa. The original Paws also featured the famous Cat's Lair tavern which was run by Dr. Cat. The tavern was also full with cats.

Paws used to be a small farming community in the Ultima games, next to the Fens of the Dead swamp. In later games it became an exile for beggars and poor people (U7 and on).

I think Paws just didn't make it into UO because in that area of the map there's already quite a few towns in close proximity - Trinsic, Britain, Skara.

yea and the fact that they kept shuffleing it down till in ultima9 its where they dumped all the sick people.

By then it was made of a couple shaks some sinking walk ways and roted out ickyness

Yes, it is called New Paws because it is the NEW Paws, the rebuilding of the old village. And the new tavern we have here is named The Cats Lair after the old one from the Ultima games.


Anyways, anyone interested in taking part in this village community, please let me know.

There are actually some ruins on the swamp where i suppose Paws would have been.
North Paws, the Home of the Royal Marksman Garrison, I've made to look like they were built on ruins of what could have been old Paws buildings, thats why our buildings look a bit patch-work and worn down.
We currently have a guild scenario running with "Bog-Zombies" which make random attacks on our Garrison.

I basically made up some history for Paws to go along with it.
