//Hi all
I've been playing on this server for a little while now, but i need a little help now, lately a lot of people want to know where my char is from but since i didn't know Layonara at all when i created my char, i decided to exclude a specific homeland.
The problem is, now i do want to choose a real country in Layonara itself, because telling people about my homeland would be much more interesting then "you most likely have never heard of my homeland" kinda line i always use, so i decided the Dragon Isles would be best as my homeland since my char belongs, or actually, belonged, to the Dragonslayer clan, however, his people got attacked by orcs, would orcs actually be able to live there?
I need to know if this would actually be possible when taking into account all Layonara lore.
thnx!!//

No, and here's why:
The Dragon Isles are the islands that lie in between Mistone and Rilara. They’re called Caesin, Enderal, Aryte, Girrac and Veapra.
Despite the fact that these islands are rather large, comparable in size to, for example, Calishan which is part of the Kingdom of Roldem, none of the Isles have been settled by the ‘normal’ races of Layonara.
This does not mean that it has not been tried, as it would be quite convenient to have a safe harbor town on one of the isles, but all attempts to start one have failed, probably because of the peculiar inhabitants the Isles are rumored to have. Arcanists from Spellgard have come to the conclusion that for some reason, the Dragon Isles are more ‘magical’ then other parts of Layonara, the reason why of course, is still under investigation.
I suggest you download the campaign handbook which lists tons of locations, get it in the Latest Files section (or by clicking on the link in my signature).
