| 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.

Story:
Rena Blackrose. Ever since she can remember she's been on her own. She was an orphen on the street and had a unique nack for magic. In Sigil she ran with a thief gang where she worked as a decoy for pick pockets. After awhile of that she got tired and left where she accidentally stepped into a portal to the Pandemonium Plane. The wind was so annoying it drew her attention away from which door she took and wondered around a city in Pandemonium for a week before finding a portal back to Sigil in a pretty hazardous maze of traps an a minogen, running and almost dieing from the maze she finally got to the door and ran through it back into the safety of Sigil.
Back in Sigil she was near starvation and the gang didn't want anything to do with her anymore. So she did the only thing she could think of, begged the first rich looking man that she would work as his vassal for food and money. Just so happened she picked an old strange looking mage who was just passing through. The mage was quite powerful and had no desire for such, but she promised to the mage to be his vassal if she could be fed. Finally after about a mile of walking and begging the Mage finally agreed if she would shut up.
Over several years the Mage and Rena adventured with other higher people of the Mage's status. Rena became a carrier of bags, weapons, just about anything for adventures for three years. She was brought along and was fed and paid for her services. When she was 14 years old the mage retired and she had no more job. Angered and quite hungry again. Figuring that the Vassaling worked one time that it would work another time. This time she wasn't so lucky, after begging another man for an hour he became quite angry, this man grabbed her up throwing her in a cage and selling her off to the underground as a slave, but Rena wasn't ABOUT to go through that, escaping with a scrolls she pillfered from the retired mage she worked for she opened the locks and ran for it, straight into a gateway. The gateway just so happened to lead directly to the Layonara.
For two weeks she looked for a way back to Sigil but there was no gateway like there was in other planes. It was a prime world, not planarly at all. It was a strange world with strange creatures. Strange beings of dwarves, and elves, and humans... there were no Bladelings, no Genasi, no Tso's, the only thing close was the occasionally summoned Slaadi (Slaad) by a wizard or sorcerer other than that she had nothing around that she felt accustomed to. This new world was very strange and had to be looked into. For two years she walked around the world from library to library reading up on where she was. Unfortunatly there was nothing about Sigil in the texts. She was in a primative world with primative peoples and she was STUCK! Stuck for all eternity!!! after about a week she didn't care anymore and just started to live in Layonara like everyone else.
Rena decided if she had to fit in she would need a god because it was the latest thing in the world. Searching over texts and scrolls about the gods of Layonar she finally decided to Beryl, it reminded her (egotistically so) of herself. Perfect, flawless, a spec of good in a world of evil and not to mention perfectly beautiful. Find her nack in life in Layonara started rough but she's making the best of it, she even had the dragon a bit baffled about why she was there but all in all she thinks this war with blood will be pretty fun.
As a tiefling Rena has fiend in her but that part of her really isn't hated or loved, but meerly accepting it. She is what she is and can't really change it. So whenever a prime being (Human, Elf, Dwarf, etc...) calls her names or shuns her she smiles and thanks them. Even when she's called evil she laughs about it. She's got ethics though which seperate her from the darker side. One she wants to help others because she just does. Not really sure what motivates her in doing so but she wants to, she likes how she feels when she helps others. Her other ethic is not to judge a book by its cover. She's in to adventuring for the fun of it, not the power, or the money, or even the fame. She cracks jokes, even makes fun of holy people (Clerics, Paladins, etc...) but she knows just about when she's crossing the line of being a pain. So she simply walks the line between Fun Loving and Nuisance.
Rena loves Ramen, bards, rogues, and jokes. She hates well... she really doesn't hate anything, she just makes fun of them.

Yes it does but it was in a special spot in the character submission section which I deleted and ask that everyone repost their bio in the approved section
