| 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. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

|  Music at the Stormcrest Crossroads...
After the first time the music rang out across the Stormcrest Crossroads... The song was heard time and again, with the same old man plucking the strings of lute or guitar...
But never with the passion of the first time.
-------
//Pyyran: Perform Check: 20 + 8 = 28//
Pyyran: **Quietly, he begins to play in earnest... A dark melody in a minor key, echoing the waning daylight...*
Hawklen Ancalimë: **sings softly* Get up and free yourself, from yourself
//Hawklen Ancalimë: Perform Check: 2 + -1 = 1//
Kinai Ancalimë: *cough*
Pyyran: **The music flows out from the lute, Pyyran's fingers rolling across the strings with an ease born in passion, as the song takes shape... The music slides along, over Hawklen's voice, the melody prickling at old memories...*
Kinai Ancalimë: **she just takes hawk's hand and presses it against her cheek**
Hawklen Ancalimë: *smiles and kisses the top of her head*
Pyyran: **It breaks into a moving force, a mournful celebration of days past... A ghostly reminder of the days ahead, darker and colder.*
Pyyran: **Time moves as the music shifts, chilling from the warm tones of yesterday, the minor key striking odd chords in the mind and heart; dissonance... Slowly taking shape.*
Hawklen Ancalimë: *hums leaning against her*
Pyyran: **The music, ringing out of the lute as if it were animated, not by the old man holding it, but by the emotions deep within him, rolls easily through and over the other sounds in the crossroads, absorbing them and making them, too, a part of itself...*
Pyyran: **Mirroring the dark sky, the warm fire, and the swiftly shrinking unknown.*
Pyyran: **There is no glorious, hopeful finish to the song... Simply the last pattern, repeating itself until it fades away.*
Hawklen Ancalimë: *sighs a bit* Make sure you are safe love..
Kinai Ancalimë: I'm not?
Hawklen Ancalimë: Helping in impossible situations. Things like that..
Hawklen Ancalimë: **nods to pyyran's playing*
Pyyran: **After a long moment, Pyyran opens his slate-grey, aged eyes to stare into the fire... The ash-coloured orbs brimmed with unshed tears that remain unshed.*
Hawklen Ancalimë: *hums a bit*
//Hawklen Ancalimë: Perform Check: 11 + -1 = 10//
Kinai Ancalimë: That's better, dear.
Pyyran: **The old man gives the faintest of smiles at Hawklen's humming, before sliding the lute back around to hang at his back, taking up his fishing pole and lantern.*
Pyyran: I think, for now... I'm going to go home.
Kinai Ancalimë: **looks at the fishing pole**
Hawklen Ancalimë: **nods* Take care Gramps.
Pyyran: **He smiles to Kinai, the soft expression warm.* Luck to you... **He nods to Hawklen.* And you.
