| 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.

|  My first DT in over 4 months
Well had a great run going  over 4 months without a SS loss and in that time only died less then a handful of times. Today I died twice and lost a SS (along with 150K xp). Here are the lessons learned from this one:
1. Never go to east server without a cleric.
2. Never never go to east server without a cleric
3. Evasion, tumble, and high reflex will serve you very well down the road (even better then a high AC in many cases). find a way to do that.
4, Death ward is NOT for pansies 
5. If you do die, and you are raised, find a safe place to wait it out and tell your group to pick you up on the way back or hide way in the back. Charging ahead into fights can cost you a lot, a real real lot.
This list represents some of my dumb dumb moves today, thought I would share them with you for educational purposes.

I'm sorry...  . No matter the reason for the lost of the SS it still stinks. This being the reason I hardly play my main pc. It gets depressing after a while..  | | | | |

Points three and five are somewhat valid, with the exception of having to wait until the returning of the rest of the group.
Clerics are such a luxury at the momen that it is very much possible and necessary to try and adventure without them. Just know your fights and limits, don't run into overwhelming odds and there - you're good to go.
Death ward is indeed only for elves and only for the weak of heart

Sorry to hear that mate, I tried to click on you with a Healer's Hug, but wasn't wearing any that were quickslotted, d'oh.
I hope it was not from the 6+ slots of Soul Strands. Godim still has 6 left, been lucky I guess.

So if the party ever decides to split up - definitely volunteer to go and protect the cleric.
That reminds me of the days of PnP - where if baddies suddenly poured in shouts of "protect the cleric" from the amassed players could be heard. The poor mages were on their own to survive till the sortie was settled.
I hated playing a mage sometimes

I guess this is bad...specially if you play only around TEN hours a MONTH, and your character is only level SEVEN, after SIX MONTHS in the server, and that character has lost already SEVEN Soul Strands, including one of the on the FIRST death at level FOUR!!!
GRRRR! CRINOOOOOOS!!!!!!
Ps: I am feeling better alredy. Thanks. =P
