| Roleplaying Discuss tips, resources, and concerns with roleplay both inside and outside the Layonara community. |
| 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!

|  Need a little help deciding where i came from :)
//Hi all
I've been playing on this server for a little while now, but i need a little help now, lately a lot of people want to know where my char is from but since i didn't know Layonara at all when i created my char, i decided to exclude a specific homeland.
The problem is, now i do want to choose a real country in Layonara itself, because telling people about my homeland would be much more interesting then "you most likely have never heard of my homeland" kinda line i always use, so i decided the Dragon Isles would be best as my homeland since my char belongs, or actually, belonged, to the Dragonslayer clan, however, his people got attacked by orcs, would orcs actually be able to live there?
I need to know if this would actually be possible when taking into account all Layonara lore.
thnx!!//

| No, and here's why: The Dragon IslesÂare the islands that lie in between Mistone and Rilara. They’re called Caesin, Enderal, Aryte, GirracÂand Veapra. Despite the fact that these islands are rather large, comparable in size to, for example, CalishanÂwhich is part of the Kingdom of Roldem, none of the Isles have been settled by the 'normal’ races of Layonara. This does not mean that it has not been tried, as it would be quite convenient to have a safe harbor town on one of the isles, but all attempts to start one have failed, probably because of the peculiar inhabitants the Isles are rumored to have. Arcanists from SpellgardÂhave come to the conclusion that for some reason, the Dragon IslesÂare more 'magical’ then other parts of Layonara, the reason why of course, is still under investigation.
I suggest you download the campaign handbook which lists tons of locations, get it in the Latest Files section (or by clicking on the link in my signature). |  | | |
