| 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.

|  Malice Nurtured...
It has been two weeks since Volrath returned from his adventure into the Underdark. Well, returned isn't quite the word. Mercilessly slaughtered then being ripped back into existence by an unseen force would best sum it up.
"I don't understand...I harbor no ill toward anyone based on their race, yet, I can't shake my newfound hatred for the Drow. They are a pitiful race, and consist of soul-less individuals bent on their own personal gain and power. They care nothing for life, and care nothing for anything that doesn't concern them."
As I lay in the Inn, staring at the ceiling of my rented room, I wonder what to make of the situation. I am starting to feel better, and my wounds are healing, though I fear I shall bear many scars for the rest of my days from it. I have lost much of the adventuring spirit I once had, though I also cannot shake the feeling that I must have my revenge, and wipe this scourge from the world.
I feel so conflicted, as I bear no hatred for the Drow companions I had that day, but I hate every other Drow I have seen or even thought of.
My thoughts now turn to a method with which to inflict said vengeance.
A few nights ago, I talked to the very wise Ozymandias, who told me of a legendary axe, by the name of Kin-Killer. It had the ablility to strike down nearly any foe, especially those of humanoid or demonic descent. Now all I can think about is this weapon, and my righteous vengeance I shall have with it! I will avenge the needless deaths and restore my lost honor...

"Blasted Journal! Where did I put that thing...hmm..."
As Volrath tears his home apart, he wonders where he could have put his journal. It has been so long since he had written in it that he had forgotten where it was.
Losing his calm for a moment Volrath pounded his first against a wall, and what should fall from the ceiling, but his journal.
"How in Layonara did that...I mean... it fell from..." He paused and grinned to himself, "You work in mysterious ways My Lady"
Volrath thumbed through the pages reminiscing over old names and faces, and reading about his exploits. He came to the first blank page rather quickly, to his dissapointment, something written down about his acceptance as a Paladin of Lucinda.
"Well now this won't do..."
He went upstairs and sat down in his chair and readied his pen. He thought about all he had done travelling from town to town converting others to Lucindism. Ah yes, I'll write about those journies. As he began to write, he yawned deeply, and slowly he nodded to sleep, book still in hand. Falling deeper into sleep, the book slipped from his hand to the floor, and there found it's way into a small crack through which the bottom floor was visible, comfortably nestling itself in, ready to be knocked out by Volrath's next impatient wall pounding.
