| 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!

|  Change the name of Geography and Towns etc.
It is time we start to change names of locations and towns/cities. We need to change many of the key geographic areas as well as a few towns/cities--make them Layonara specific and unique. This will be assigned to the writers and GM's as well but they are quite busy already. I want the epic characters to have a lot of say in the name changes, as they should have that right. This is the right of all epic characters, they have a say in the world after all.
Please come up with names that you think we should use for the geography and towns....
Thank you for your time! |  |   | |

I have no problem naming towns/locations after Epic characters, none at all--so long as it fits and makes sense. After all many things in RL are named after RL people....so it goes to reason this would happen. | | | | |

Arabel has been sacked, it has been burned, it has been conquered in an overkill fashion all that is left is ruins and places of bloods staging forces.
"Blood's Embarking" - Once named Arabel the city of Bloodstone's Embarking was soon renamed by many thruout the world as the place in which blood truely showed he was seting forth unto the world with a vengance. Even moreso what remained of the City of Arabel itself was but a few piles of rubble from great manors that once lined the shore. Truely a city of horrers.

Bil requests that Shoufal, lying as it does at the bottom of the Berhagen mountains and the continent, as well as being one of Bilvikki's favourite towns (even though he has to walk around invisibly to avoid angering any techy dwarves) be renamed at once to 'Bil's Bottom'.
It makes sense Bil thinks yes he does

Not quite epic status here (however I have approval and the quest is well into the development stage); a suggestion for the renaming of the Bay of Carocsa to perhaps something down the line of "Sharks Cove" or "Quarry?" | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
