| 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.

|  hands across layonara
just kidding with the topic title 
Seems we got some real passion going with this Drow and other stranger business:
topic: Drow
topic: amazement
topic: racial profiling
topic: hatred
Sounds like it's time for a town meeting in-game ... a messy one, with possible real outcomes, like banning Drow from town, or more tolerant outcomes, like punishment for discrimination. Might even be some faction way to prevent strangers from getting into Hlint .. closing its borders, with NPCs saying "Go away" until they change their faction.
Faction: "Unknown Drow"
Faction: "Accepted Drow"
(I don't really know how factions work, but it's a thought.)
My character Teefal would jump right in, working on behalf of the Drows he's gotten to know, helping them organize .. going in and out of town for them ... sorta like an Underground Railroad or Shindler's List thing.
Either way, there's a great deal of interest here ... let's RP it! Convene the High Council |  |   | |

I think, before you do this, we get all of the people playing Drow and ask them what they want OOC.
Then, I think we would need a GM to be there considering that the majority of Hlint's population are not our player characters. | | | | |

Ooooh! Sounds fun, the only bad thing is that if the Drows would get banned is that I wont get to play Creature at the inn *cries a little* But it would be fun!

Well, if Drow were officially banned, they would just have to wear better disguses.
And I figured one of the GMs would do that. | | | | |

*snickers* given the responses on the posts about Drow, it doesn't sound like the Drow have to do anything but just show up!
However, poisoning the well or otherwise destroying it would make many annoyed (or has that been done?).... | | | | |

I believe that people should gather angry mobs and march against Blood's armies to let off some steam, how does that sound?

Bank robbery... definitely. All accounts reset to zero, we'd have a score of them strung up before breakfast. |  | | |

Cole fought and killed Drow when they took out Spellgard as well as when he was in the military at Blackford, but he's never gotten the chance to put together a Drow-tooth necklace (he's got an ogre, several giant, and, of course, a goblin-tooth necklace). Maybe this'll finally provide the opportunity.
