| 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.

| Dragon attack on Leringard! * The harbour area lies in ruins after a vicious and fatal attack by a great white dragon. Casualties number in the hundreds and most vessels in the harbour are beyond repair. All houses in the harbour district took damage and most remain in ruins, requiring a total reconstruction. Wounded were taken to the temple of Mist to be tended for, while commoners and guardsmen alike helped to evacuate the homes that were affected.*
-----------------------------
Before the dragon left back towards the open sea it circled once over the city, bellowing a message for all to hear: "For the breaking of an alliance! Fisterion, King of Dragons, willed it so!" | | |

| Re: Dragon attack on Leringard! *Storold comes back to the Leringard Arms hearing about the events after making sure that Clover is safe he just shakes his head and goes to write a notice for the inns and taverns around Mistone*
Dear "Heroes" of the Molten Isle,
I hope you have an idea now about how stupid and foolish you have been. If the losses of Leringard isn't enough for you and the peace we had before didn't satisfy your needs well then you have succeded.
You have now succesfully destroyed years of work to keep a fragile peace and instead brought war opun us. Who ever you might be and where ever you might be, I hold you responsible for each dead, each injury and each destroyed brick in what I for a short time of my life called home. I am soon to move on to another home that I can call entirely my own, and I can assure you than you and your kind are not welcome there.
While a court of law propably wont be able to judge you for any of your wrong doings I hope that you will feel the judgement in your own hearts and minds. And maybe in time the guilt will wash off if you are able to heal the wounds of Leringard and of the peace we enjoyed.
If any of you have been part of the crowd I call my friends, which I highly doubt since they should be smarter than this, you can consider our friendship as terminated from the point where this foolish idea you have brough out into doing entered your heads.
*Signed*Storold Doesscha, Protector of the Al'Noth | | |

| Re: Dragon attack on Leringard! A rather different Sallaron walks by the Inn, limping, wincing with each step and rubbing his chest painfully.
He pauses outside, reading Storold's note.
He simply walks on, shaking his head at the post, rubbing his chest and muttering " Idiot"

| Re: Dragon attack on Leringard! *In order to aid in helping sort out the aftermath and relieve some of the pain of the devastation, The Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern opens its doors to as many of the refugees as they can house in their times of need. Kali was also seen going to the orphanage to seek assistance and extra beds while the city docks are being rebuilt. Meager meals are provided to the masses, where possible, as The Arms was becoming fully stocked for an upcoming event, there seems much food to go around. Several times the gypsy, Kali, can be seen passing through the streets between the temple and the Inn as, as many as possible of the survivors are offered aid, shelter, and food. *

| Re: Dragon attack on Leringard! *Wren hearing the rumors goes to see for himself. He brings what food and supplies he can to help*
*A few days later Wren reads the note posted by Storold. He thinks for a bit and then writes on the one in the Scamps Mug.*
Not to cross mental swords with you Storold but the fault in this was cast years ago by a foolish deal with evil. This was inevitable and the longer it took to happen the worse it was going to be. Dont get me wrong I too feel for the loss this has caused but if you are to judge then judge also those that set the world on this path.

| Re: Dragon attack on Leringard! *A scraggle-haired man in green and brown wools is looking haggard. All day he has been tending to the wounded, hungry and tired, at the Twin Dragon Inn at 137 Leringard. The doors are always unlocked, welcoming all to the hall, but on this day the inn is packed to the brim, and the storeroom is threatening to run out of food. Even the tavern bards have packed away their instruments, and are helping wait tables and aid folks in making blanket-beds. Even if they played, their music would not be heard above the din of the crowd.*
Riven reassures the crowds, "Have no fear, friends, we've hunters out at this moment, gathering venison for the stews. We'll not go short of food for ye." | | |
