| 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.

|  Bit of a shock last night
Got a bit of a shock last night...was online in Hlint when suddenly there were two massive (well they seemed massive anyway) explosions straight after each other which basically made our house ring like a bell. After checking the rest of the family and ringing the emergency services went outside to see what had happened but apart from all the houses down the street having smashed windows from the blast (our double glazing survived thankfully) everything seemed normal, although there was a strange sort of smell on the air. Anyway at first we were told that someones gas cooker had exploded and people sort of drifted back into their homes but then the police turned up enmasse and evacuated everyone. It turns out that the guy behind us had a house packed with explosives and firearms....not sure about the details yet but we've just been allowed back, after 12 hours.
Well the good thing was that no one it seems was hurt, which is a bit amazing actually. So just waiting now to find out more details. I have to say its been a pretty awful month this month so far

Just found out for definate what actually happened...the guy in question was storing and manufacturing illegal fireworks in his house. Well some of them detonated, and that was the cause of the blast then when the fire brigade found the guns as well all hell broke loose. Especially as the london bombers were from this nearby area too. However it seems that the weapons have licences so thats ok but he's in a lot of trouble for the fireworks business.
It was an amazing blast though...I think all the glass merchants in Pontefract will be rubbing their hands with glee this morning

A jeep out side my apartment sponteanously exploded in the middle of the night. Melted the car next to it too!
