| 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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

|  Announcing! The Gypsy's Gala
Announcing!
The Gypsy's Gala An elite social occasion demanding the best attire and entertainment.
Come prepared for a feast with a compliment of free spirits, the best in the known world. Come prepared to dance, to flaunt your excess, to demonstrate your social cunning, your grace.
A King and Queen will be chosen from among the gathered to mark the history books and reign over the year following the Gala.
The Gala's main attraction is the raffle, a shameless display of wealth and artifacts to which you can lay claim. The details of the raffle are explained below.
The entry fee to the Gala is Ten Thousand (10000) True, paid at the door.
Don't miss out on the social event of the year. All are invited -- queens and magistrates, soldiers and thieves -- provided one can pay the fee to enter. The streets will be filled to see who attends this affair.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rules of the Raffle:
There are three tiers of goods to be raffled. For each tier there are one hundred (100) tickets, for a total of three hundred (300) tickets. Raffle tickets cost thirty-five thousand (35000) True each.
Tier One contains seventy-five (75) items.
Tier Two contains fifty (50) items.
Tier Three contains twenty-five (25) items.
You may purchase tickets in advance.
You will not be told to which tier the tickets belong until after the Gala has begun. Once the announcement has been made, tickets may be swapped during the Gala, but selling tickets is strictly forbidden, nor will you have much time to broker a deal between the time of the announcement and the time the drawings begin.
At the time of this announcement, there is a maximum of two tickets per person. Access to more tickets will be released at a later date.
Seventy-five tickets will be drawn for Tier One, fifty for Tier Two, and twenty-five for Tier Three. A winning ticket entitles the holder to exchange their ticket for a good of their choosing from the Tier to which the ticket belongs. This means the first person drawn in the Tier has the most options, and the last person drawn in the Tier must take the final item.
All winning tickets will be exchanged for a raffle item. All non-winning tickets are redeemable at the Arms for a free meal and drink.
Detailed descriptions of the raffle items will be circulated prior to the Gala, and in waves. The Tier to which an item belongs will not be disclosed until the Gala.
All requests for tickets and other feedback should be directed to Steel, Current Steward of the Arms.

The following flyers are seen scattered by Mistonian couriers and tradeships: Quote: | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Gala Gypsies are on the move! Be on the lookout for their caravan. If they visit your village, you could win money, jewlery, fine clothing, tickets to the Gala, and even raffle tickets!
Games, stories, scavenger hunts and more await those who find the Gala Gypsies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
///// Keep an eye on the player calender for periodic mini-events prior to the Gala. I'll post up calender links as the events are scheduled. /////

Not but a few days after the previous flyers are circulated, new flyers appear: Quote: | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hear ye! Hear ye!
The Gala Raffle ticket prices have been slashed! Cut down by the mercenary's blade!
Until further notice, all raffle tickets will cost Twenty-five Thousand True, and the purchase limit is increased to four tickets. Raffle tickets will soon become available for pick-up at the Leringard Arms.
In addition, increasing demand for participation in the Gala means a change in the door charge. Until further notice, the price to get in is only One Thousand True or one material donation item. Acceptable donations are currently limited to wooden, cloth, and metal raw materials.

Another flyer circulated throughout Mistone: Quote: | And now, what everyone has been waiting for...
The Raffle Tickets are available for purchase. Simply visit the Leringard Arms at your convenience, enter the Loadson Tavern (first door on the right), and take up to four tickets from the chests. Lily, the Arms' hostess, will oversee the exchange. All payments for tickets should go in the chest marked "Ticket True Lockbox."
You will find three ticket colors: red, blue, and white. There are one hundred of each color. The colors will be used to randomly determine to which tier each ticket belongs at the time of the Gala. | /// Thanks to OneSt8 and Orth's work on the storage logging system, you can pick up your tickets whenever you wish, with the chests logging who removed which tickets and who left payment. The door to the Leringard Arms remains unlocked. ///
