Character Approvals The characters on this board have been approved by a GM and may be played online, in the world.


Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

Default New Player Character Submission


Name: Zijeo

Age: 20

Class(es): Rge5 Fgt8 WM7 (Rogue lvl first of course.)

Race: Wemic

Alignment: True Neutral

Deity: None

Bio:

Zijeo, born of the most cunning bow wielding lion man, had high expectations from his tribal spiritual leaders...... even before his birth....



It was said years.... ago; a strong nobleman shall be born.. under the third full moon after his fathers final hunt. This noble and chosen lion man would rise to King among the tribe and end all the bickering between the other noble males. This was predicted by the tribes top spiritiual leader, Azow. His bond with nature and his display of spiritual harmony were unquestionably unmatched....

Respectifully the other Wemic of the tribe accepted this and awaited this son of Kjaziz. Kjaziz was one of the most feared, vain, and respected of the Wemic. Kjaziz's body was covered from neck to the tip of each paw with tattoos....

During these times the human's borders expanded... To avoid confrontation the Wemics pushed their tribes back and secured new borders. In time these human settlers pushed forward... Even killing wemic on sight. Wemic were new to them.. and they heard nothing but stories of how they were great hunters and had for years, based their whole society on the hunt. Humans sold their manes for profit, and their finely crafted bows and spears. It is said the most feared human huntsman would even wear manes skinned from the very flesh of Wemic they had killed. They would boast on how many tattoos covered the skin of their new overcoat...

It wasn't until the human Sorcerers arrived... arcane magic wielders summoned vile creatures to their lands.... upsetting the spiritual harmony of nature... ripping holes through the grounds... buring trees in petty disputes between different factions among themselves...

Drastic times called for drastic measures.... Kjaziz was chosen, among two other feared and respected. They were to gain access to each of the three factions of humans now settled in their lands. Infiltrate their homes and slay each King that governed. They were charged to return with each King's sword in proof. 3 full years had passed... one Wemic returned... then another... but still... no Kjaziz. They each returned with their swords... and were rewarded with tattoos of a crown and blade that covered each from neck to rear along their spinal cord. 2 months later... a man is brought before the high spiritual guide.. beaten almost nearly to death by Wemic guardsman.. "He only wishes to speak", the guardsman say....

The man speaks.... and retires his sword to the guide... and he says, "This is the sword of King Xiloscient, the last King of these lands." I aided your Kjaziz in the assasination. I am Elric.. General of Xiloscient's armies... and apprentice in the arcane arts to the King himself. You see... King Xiloscient was no mere King... he had knowledge of some of the darkest necromantic arcane magic. I aided your friend to overthrow his kingdom.. and take my seat as King. Kjaziz died in the battle.. and in return I shall take my armies.. and leave your land. I have reunited 3 kingdoms under one banner. Remember; all humanity are not of those evil huntsman that you encounter here in the wilderness. Farewell"

..... Three full moons pass... and the son of Kjaziz is born. He is raised by the two that accompanied his father on the greatest hunt known to their existence. Zijeo is trained uniquely different than the other males. He is the sole apprentice to the "Peacebringers", the name given to the two noble Wemics. During the Peacebringers battles they learned spears and bows were not enough alone... they adapted the use of a light and finessable blade.... known as the rapier. They had adapted the ways of stealth and silent swift strikes against their unknowing foes. The Peacebringers also passed on what little knowledge they knew of the common tongue.... They had learned what they could to accomplish their tasks... and they were the ones who translated Elric's words. After teaching Zijeo what they fealt he needed to know about the importance of his bow and dual rapiers.. They sent him off Five years early for his first trial hunt. At the age of fifteen he was told to leave.... and not return for five more years. Zijeo was instructed to learn to use shadow... cunning... and finesse to survive at such an undevoloped age. The Peacebringers believed Wemic's had to adapt to their enemies.. and Zijeo was just the beginning of mighty Wemic Warriors...

5 Years pass.... Before Zijeo reaches home with his trophies.. he decides to rest in a peaceful grove and admire nature around him.... his home... he is excited to see the peacebringers... and tell stories of his trophies... and newly acquired skills....


His eyes open... But in front of him is not the same grove... Not a single Wemic either... But a creature he had never seen before. The only thing he could do was hold his head high with pride... and project his voice in confidence and strength to this enourmous being....

Sorry for the drug out story... You guys get the idea I'm not exactly a writer.. but I will get better. Im an excellent RP'er however. Anyway look forward to seeing Layonara first hand. And enjoying alot of your custom content. Feel free to offer suggestions or changes you think would be good. I understand you can't approve the WM yet.. you would simply approve the start as ROGUE/FGT.. however I will RP and provide a character log in the forums of his advancement to WM. I included a little bit of the learning of his common tongue.. and request he can either learn common as a bonus.. or be able to learn it easily from an instructor. ATM I would like him to spoke at LEAST really broken Common. Thank you for the time and reading my story.

Sorry about the bump their DM team. However I am in the Marines.. have a wife and family. Finding time for this game is hard enough. And I'd much rather spend time playing it rather than reading the forums. I've already read all of the history and rather learn the rest in game.
