| Rumour Has It This forum will be used by players and GM's to post gossip (in character) about what is happening in the world as it happens. IE, outcomes of quests, attacks on towns etc. |
| 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.

|  The Destroyer comes!
* Rumours spread like a wildfire on the streets of Spellguard. Through travellers and merchants they quickly reach neighbouring towns and villages on Mistone.
People speak of a terrible ritual that has taken place on a far-away dark island. Here the Destroyer - Pyrtechon's manifestation in flesh and blood - has been conjured up from the darkest and deepest pits of the hells to walk our realm. Once this evil reaches the shores of Mistone, no one will be safe!
A caravan guard claims to have looked towards the heavens at dusk, where he saw the Eternal Flame blaze brightly nine times! One time for each day that remains until the Raging One enters our realm to burn and destroy all that is good.
The man claims that every time he closes his eyes he sees the imprint of the constellation through his inner eye and that for each day that passes, there is one less star. * |  |   | |

* Sall, lazing by the fountain in Hempy, tilt's his head slightly as he hears panicked talk among some merchants. Listening carefully, he frowns a bit and clambers to his feet. **
Nine days?! What happened to bloody months?!
** in an instant he strides over to the Merchant district, where a young boy and a monkey seem to be lazing peacefully amidst the branches of a tree. The young boy, silver streaks in his hair, glances down as he approaches, noting his dad's worried expression, and the boy sighs and roll's his eyes. **
Gawd... Dad... "now" what have you done?
* the white-faced Belinarian monkey leaps from a branch onto the boy's shoulder and makes a few screeching noises, seeming to nod in agreement *
Nothing... nothing....yet.
Get down Trouble... yer going home quick on the double... and tell yer mom to meet me in Leringard like... real bloody quick.

Invisibly wandering on the outskirts of Hempstead, Dur'Thak overhears this information from a short interchange between farmers.
In response he mutters, "Vine-hugging rottersssss. The infinite end or just a tick, alwayssss 'eht the rot-cant."
With that he wanders off towards the forests to disappear. To those who can see invisible creatures, Dur'Thak seems to move a bit quicker than before, perhaps thinking more on the words than he seemed to outwardly.

* As the days pass the rumour spreads quickly from the Brelin Kingdom to the neighbouring Kingdoms of Trelania and Co'rys. In some towns and villages there are outbursts of panic on the streets, which are quickly calmed, however, by the solid presence of the city guard and in some places even militia.
The markets are emptied within days by people who spend most of their money on food and drink to barricade themselves within their homes, where they anxiously and fearful awaiting the ninth day.
Upon the ninth day, however, no fiery colossus emerges and no dreadful firestorm purges the continent. Slowly, people appear from their homes - some joyful and overwhelmed by relief, while others merely chuckle at their own foolishness. Others, however, are angry.
---------------
If one travels from Spellguard towards Paruin, one will pass a cluster of trees on the right side of the road at one point. Shortly thereafter the site of a large fire can be seen on the right-hand side of the road. Only charred grass and wooden logs remain of what must have been a huge bonfire.
It is rumoured that the man who claimed himself a prophet of the apocalypse was burned alive on this bonfire. Chased out of Spellguard by an angry mob, he made it this far before they caught up to him. It is said that even the blistering fires could not stop him from screaming about the end of the world... not until the flames took care of that.
There are no eyewitnesses to this deed, however, and therefore it remains a rumour only. * | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
