Who is Kairee?

?Clear as the Moon, in glowing charms arrayed,
Her winning eyes the light of heaven displayed;
Her cypress form entranced the gazer?s view,
Her waving curls, the heart, resistless, drew,
Her eye-brows like the Archer?s bended bow;
Her ringlets, snares; her cheek, the rose?s glow,
Mixed with the lily ? from her ear-tips hung
Rings rich and glittering, star-like; and her tongue,
And lips, all sugared sweetness ? pearls the while
Sparkled within a mouth formed to beguile.
Her presence dimmed the stars, and breathing round
Fragrance and joy, she scarcely touched the ground,
So light her step, so graceful ? every part
Perfect, and suited to her spotless heart.?

- The Shahnamah of Fidausi (A.D. 932 ? 1020)

Kairee is one my alter-ego for online free-form role-play and was the first character I played in the original Phantasy Guild on AOL in the late 1980?s.

When I was asked to managed the revamped Phantasy Guild which we renamed the Free Form Gaming Forum (FFGF); Kairee took over the Red Dragon Inn. For 7 years Kairee held court from her perch atop the bar in the RDI, with her long, splendiferous legs crossed.

Through the years I managed the FFGF, we had tremendous growth and added a lot of new features. I brought Duel of Swords to the FFGF and with a cadre of other players, we revamped the rules and created the Ranking System and the Tournaments. We created Duel of Fists and Duel of Magic. We added additional rooms such as The Red Dragon Great Hall and created new genre specific forums like the Stars End Bar.

I?ve managed to keep some logs and files, others were lost between changing computes, migrating from a Mac to Windows, and fits of ?Why am I keeping this stuff?? cleaning frenzies.

With the creation of this Website; I wanted to share with you all some of the past. Hopefully these archives will bring a smile to the ?old timers? and insights to the new who wonder ?What is the Red Dragon Inn??, ?Where did it come from??, ?Why is it the way it is??

I will be adding to these folders as I discover and repair my old records and I plan to include new stories as well.

Don?t hesitate to contact me if you have questions or want to contribute archives of your own.

Thank you,

Kairee (a.k.a Barbara)

Somehow I gained the trust of Kairee and after having been a host for a few years I became her assistant in the FFGF, and asked me to take over for her when she "retired" in 1996.

My "reighn" lasted a bit under two years, but during that time I tried to remain faithful to the vision as I learned it from her.

Rather than make people go running around in different spots, I'll be adding some of my own tidbits to the archives.
