| 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.

Since people seem to be listening but not replying, let me just say aloud that it's very brave of you to share your art with the community, and I appreciate it and am sure others do as well. It's always nice to know about the people behind the characters, and after listening to those I certainly feel like I know a little bit more about you.
Thank you for sharing your music with us, Hellblazer.

*applauds* Hey man just doing music and sharing is awesome. "There is none like you" is pretty cool, totally liked the mood. Now don't ask me to try to give any real constructive feedback, hehe I don't understand music that well to give a good crit, but I know what I like. 
Thanks for sharing and keep it up. | | | | |

Right, well, certainly not bad; only listened to the one song, so far, but not bad at all. (Thing in Balck)
It's brave of you to post this (first I've seen of it!), so kudos for that. I haven't posted any of my art, so... Better than me.
Two points I'd make (on this song) are: The quick drumrolling sounds like it's meant to be double bass pedals; use a deeper sound for that, throughout the song. Also, there's a string of what sounds like a small cymbal or bell (can't remember the right name) around 1:40 to 1:50 that I don't think fits with the rest of the song's mood; mayhap change it to a high hat, half as often? At a good p, maybe mp. There's other little nitpicky stuff, but nothing important, just stylistic differences of opinion.
As to whether or not I like it... Well, I'm downloading the other files, if that says anything.
Eve of War: I like the concept in the song, and I like the presentation. The only thing I don't like (being a horn player myself) is the way the synthesizer produces the trumpet, trombone, and tuba sounds; if there's a way to play with the articulation, there's where you could make that crucial stylistic change, along with changing the dynamics to accent the harmony a bit. As an orchestral piece, for real musicians, this is an excellent piece. If you played this on a keyboard, NICE. I know those things are irritating when it comes to synthesizing orchestral instruments.
Though I feel a bit bad for being the only one with any criticism, constructive intent aside. <<;

eve of war needs to be retouched as I think to the brass are to static and don't sound real. Unfortunately the vst instrument I am using, although good, is not so versatile on the articulation so I will have to find an other one.
Things in balk is not finished and I think you are referring to the bridge which I just didn't take out teh violins there yet.
