| 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.

|  In front of Lannisport’s temple to Shindaleria
A group of fishermen sails into Lannisport’s small harbor. They look like they had the scare of their life. Hurriedly, they walk into the temple and leave behind some of their catch as offering to their patron goddess.
After saying short prayers of thanks, they leave and hurry on to the nearest tavern.
ÂYou see them enter and notice their still pale faces. As they order their ale, the bartender yells at them “What be the matter with ye? Ye lot look like ye seen a ghost? Ye’re paler than yer sails!”
ÂThe captain of the fishing boat turns to the bartender “We seen dragons.” The bartender roars with laughter, but you turn around to better hear their conversation.
“Dragons?” he says, “nobody’s seen dragons since Blood returned! Ye must be stark raving mad!” The captain shakes his head and moves to the back of the tavern, to a table near you.
His crew joins him and shortly after, the tavern’s singer joins them. “So tell me of these dragons, and I’ll make a song about it.” he says.
Their voices lower and they’re too low for you to make out. You retire for the night, and when you rise at the break of dawn, you find the singer sitting in the common room, mumbling lyrics.
“A crew set out from Lannisport, to sail to their fishing grounds. Yet a storm sprang up and blew them north” He is quiet for a moment, then looks at you and asks “What rhymes with grounds?” but before waiting on an answer he continues “I’ll get to that later.” “For days it blew and north they went, north towards Aryte, knowing that if they kept on going, certain doom would soon be in sight. And as the wind subsided after four days and nights of roaring, The cliffs of Aryte rose out from the sea, dark grey in early morning.” He looks up again, looking rather proud, then continues. “Yet one mountaintop was slightly off, it was darker than the rest, Even at high noon, the eerie darkness had not been suppressed. The wary crew labored on, but when they were almost done with the repair. A challenging and ferocious roaring, filled them with despair. Looking up they saw the darkness started to dissipate, And four, no three shapes appeared in the gloom. The shapes launched themselves into the skies, Still surrounded by a cloud of doom.” He grows silent again, then turns to you. “Now I am stuck again. The captain told me that cloud and the shapes circled around the peak once, then that Âcloud suddenly disappeared after it passed into the shadow of the peak. Apparently, three dragons then appeared from it and they flew away. Nice story, heh, doubt anyone will believe it though.” Frowning, you refrain to comment and order your breakfast before leaving.
