| 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.

|  News from Audira
~oOo~
Jnaar Itenu Ravorinin of Sedera and Queen Alise Langovale of Kuhl are happy to announce the successful signing of a mutually beneficial trade agreement between the two nations. Both rulers foresee this new trade arrangement and it's significant reduction on trade tariffs as the beginning of a long and fruitful friendship for the two kingdoms. Although a representative of the Jnaar was unavailable for further comment, it would appear the new agreement is to take effect immediately and several merchants have already begun the journey across the Sea of Fury with laden ships.

** Whilst in Audiria on a short-break Holiday, Sall and Tegs over hear the new's whilst watching a small tavern brawl in the flaming phoenix.**
"Hmm... well... aint that a bloody coincidence huh sweets?" he nudges her, ducking slightly as an ale mug goes flying over his head, shattering off the wall.
" You getting one of those ideas love?" she asks, pushing a rather drunk fighter who staggered too close away from her.
" Well.. yeah.. but this time... I truly honestly swear... it's a good one. A really really good one."
The drunk fighter spins around, a snarl on his face and a broken bottle in his hand. Hardly able to focus, he rushes Tegan, flailing the broken bottle infront of him.
Her eyes narrow and a few words escape her mouth.
Suddenly paralysed to the spot, unable to move, the drunken fighter can only stare around in panic as Sall leans casually over and gives him a slight push, sending him toppling to the floor.
" Arn't all your idea's really good though love?" she winks.
Sall coughs and grins.
" Er... that's debatable. Come on... should be able to hop on a boat from here to Westgate in Kuhl."

*Before leaving Audiria Sasha reads the notice stunned. After some time and reading it several more times she leaves, incredulous at the statement.*

Sitting at the back of the Flaming Phoenix tavern Jin listens to the rumors. He nods grimly to himself after what he has unsurprised at the turn of events after what he had witness.
An of duty Sedrian navy officer celebrating their recent victory over the pirate army offers him a drink.
"Thankyou my friend." Jin accepts the drink with a smile and leaves it mostly untouched in front of him.
"I never seen a dragon like that before!" Replied the officer.
"I have. You can tell by the eyes and scales." Jin comments.
"A stroke of luck that dragon arrived when it did. One for our side eh?" Grins the officer.
"Luck? No I'm sure it wasn't luck. As for sides - Dragons rarely do anything for the benefit of men."
"You going to drink the rest of that?"
"Here have one more drink on me friend. If you see a dragon again, let me know." | | | | |

*Jacc looks up overhearing Jin*
Dragons rarely do anything for the benfit of men?
Come now Jin, you know that is a very general comment and very untrue as well.
Was it not a dragon that called many of us to fight against Bloodstone?
Was it not dragons that selfishly helped us years ago when we asked for help?
Is it not us that maybe just do things for the benefit of men?
Dont get me wrong, I am not saying all dragons are good, just as not all men are good. But to generalise like that is not to the benefit of anyone. | | | | |

Jin looks to Jacchari.
"Yes, perhaps I stand corrected. Though truly the Gold that called us had the interests of his own kind as well as that of men. Bloodstone was first and foremost the greatest killer of Dragon kind known. The death of Sinthar was the end of a great evil. It paved the way for the return of Dragon kind."
He pauses wait for the Navy officer to finish his drink, then speaking quietly he continues.
"Bloodstone was created in a world where Dragons warred. I fear a return to those times."
"Clearly that dragon was acting under the orders of another. I did not realise how precise the control could be."
"Perhaps it now our time to seek out those good Dragons that are left free, for it seems that they will need allies, as will we."
"I have a terrible suspicion, but this tavern is not the place for such talk."
