| 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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

|  Layonara Thanks Talan
As many of you know, recently Talan decided to take a leave. He was still helping in his roles and browsing the forum for a bit, but has now ensured us he is moving on for good after some furthur discussions.
I am not going to divulge his reasons, those are for him to share with his friends. I just wanted to take the time to thank Talan on behalf of Layonara for the efforts he gave while here. Talan was very committed to helping others and a hard worker in quite a few areas with LORE, development and community support. Losing this kind of contributor is a fair blow to the teams he was a part of and the community as a whole.
We sincerely wish him all the best in finding what he seeks and extend our gratitude for all of the effort he put in while here.
Take care and on a personal note, I'll miss you Talan, despite you driving me crazy sometimes.

Yeah this stinks. I can remember many times early on in Owen's career when he met Talan and had some really fun RP. I hope to see you back someday Talan.
Good luck wherever you end up.

Take care dude..... RL comes first...
Yep – it has been awhile since I saw you last on Layo...but I will remember the meetings we had and the trips around Fort Hope before everything went crazy there (yep..really old
- but you must have made a ... good impression)
If you ever meet a Dane, 1.2 m tall, around 200 pounds, half bald and a bit grumpy – then give Varka a thought...  | | | | |

Talan will be sorely missed. He contributed so much to the community with his involvement on the Project and LORE Teams as well as his RP in game.
Sorry to see you go Talan. I really am.
Take care!

| RE: Layonara Thanks Talan
I would like to take this chance to tell Talan, thank you for the aiding in the direction/path that Rodlin has chosen. When I first got to Layo, I had the fortunate chance to fight next to Talan a few times. I was awed at the power of his bow. I thought that Rodlin should eventually go the path of the AA. Through some PM’s with Talan, I decided that that was not the path for Rodlin and shortly afterwards, created a new character. I am pleased with the choice I have made. Talan was a huge part in the decision process.
In addition, his RP was great and his advice and knowledge of the game were very helpful in the forums.
Farewell and Thanks!
