Layonara MMO Please use this forum to discuss the Layonara MMO.


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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

Default Character Races

This follows on from Serrisa's and Gulnyr's remarks.

But to ask the obvious question first, because it doesn't look like its been posed yet, what will the character races be? Will they be the standard(1) fantasy races? Human, elf, dwarf, gnome, halfling?

Or will they be something more... exotic(2).

Will there be subraces? Will they be standard? Will we be having Dark elves, deep dwarves, deep gnomes, et cetera?

Or perhaps, will the base races be "standard", and the subraces be (more) unique?

Regards,

Script Wrecked.



(1) and the standard probably comes from D&D, due to its prevalence
(2) I would have pointed you to their homepage, but its not available, atm.

Default Re: Character Races

Just a quick note, due to the nature of Layonara being independent of D&D in many respects, Layonara is striving to be familiar but unique so as to not infringe on copyrights. So things like "dark elves" and "deep gnomes" et al will most likely not exist as such. As for your actual questions, I cannot answer those myself but perhaps the big L can shed some light (if that's even something we can do at all at this time).

I hereby formally give permission to use white elves, if such is needed, and any other notions I might come up with.

Talking Re: Character Races

Quote:
The evil serrisan elves of Bineau live in the deep and dark recesses of the the underground. They are phenomenally white of skin, almost to the point of translucence. Their red eyes mark them as albinos.

Those that have appeared on the surface are almost always heavily shouded in hoods and robes, always appearring only after dusk and disappearing again before dawn. It seems they have a special sensitivity to sunburn.

They make excellent archers, and seemingly are not without compassion, having an unbound compulsion to heal things they come across that may be injured.
