| 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.

|  A note to an angry dwarf
Is your wisdom as low as your beard is long?
If you cannot control your temper, how do you ever expect to defeat Blood? If you attack your own allies, do not your enemies laugh at you?
If we cannot put our people's pasts aside and learn to work together, we will lose this war. And we will deserve to.

*The following is written in a careful, practiced hand*
"Peaceful drow,"
You must consider that you are a stranger in a strange land, should your claims even be true. On more occasions than I wish to know of, drow have inserted themselves, infiltrating our societies by claims of desired friendship and a turn away from their dark origins. Taking advantage of examples of redemption made by their nobler cousins who truly do wish to fight against the evils of their kind, they then lead scores of their wretched brethren to make strikes on our homes. While your intentions may be as pure as you say, and others have proven theirs before you, you must understand that we cannot know for certain until time and circumstance have proven for you as well. The sad truth of the matter is that even after you have turned from the path of evil and treachery, you still have a substantial journey of gaining trust ahead of you. Patience is necessary for all parties. This will not be the first time you are questioned or doubted, this is just the reality of the situation. I just hope that my words here help you and others understand why.
I hate drow as I believe their evil has no place in this world. However, I have seen those who illustrate, in my eyes, a clear distinction between "Drow" and "Dark elf." Becoming the latter will take time.

*the following is written in a fluid hand and posted underneath the previous notes*
For what it is worth, the drow has a point. Not one week ago I myself saw a dwarf agressively charge at one of my poor dark skinned cousins repeatedly. This was an unprovoked attack, the poor fellow was quite fearful and I tried to give him camuflage in a nearby tree. The dwarf persisted. Eventualy the drow was aided by Acacea, a kind soul to be sure, though quite abrupt at times...
In any case, we should be aware not all drow are the same, and we could argue that many races have at times performed great acts of evil. Yet why is it the drow alone who suffer at the hands of mindless prejudice?

*a hooded elf in blue robes walks by and notices the note*
*sighs and murmurs for herself* Why is everyone taking insults so personal? I think I met the same dwarf and, well, he didn't seem to like me very much. But still, one can always try to befriend others instead of insulting back!

*Underneath this, Freldo writes*
I have also seen very unjust actions on the part of a few dwarves agains Rykh, a very civilized and well educated orc.
It has to be considered that not all individuals are necessarily worthy of attack just because they are of a typically agressive race.
Think for a moment master dwarves. I have been assailed many a time by bloodthirsty elves, halflings and dwarves! Should I now consider every dwarf, elf and halfling I meet to be malignant?
I think not.
Shame on you for such prejudice.
Let each person stand for their own, not for their race in general.
"We're all individuals" as the chorus says.
