| 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.

|  Getting reacquainted
Greetings all - I'm so pleased that Layonara, unlike a lot of other NWN RP servers, will not delete characters from the vault no matter how long they have been idle.
I'm trying to get back into Layonara with Abraham Salt, the character I created when first playing on Layonara 3 years ago, and to catch up and get the lay of the land once more.
I think the maps have changed a little bit, and there has clearly been a lot of history. It isn't obvious from the forums how to get current on events in-game without a lot of skimming. Any threads I should be especially mindful of, or forums that announce major events, especially regarding Aragen's worship?

Well  The Layonara Timeline would be a good place to start...
Some of the place names have changes, so if you reacquainted yourself with the maps, that might also be a good idea.

I understand that aging has been discussed else and nothing decisive was agreed upon, but you might wanna have an excuse why your character has been gone and returns now, hardly aged, after 49 years and 9 days (layonara time). I imagine that some of the people that he used to known must've aged quite a bit and the world is very different from back then (with the major events and all that). Just a heads up, as I imagine it could lead to some weird situations if you don't readily have an excuse 
Also, welcome back. Glad to see more people joining.

I'm actually glad you mentioned this, because I was wondering if the PC in question ought to be played as though he were... 35 years older? This would place him in his 80s.
His hair be grey and he be a codger anyway, so old beyond old is not beyond imagining.
I am thinking about new backstory that would fill in all this missing time. Thanks for the bump!
