Layonara

Layonara is a place you come to create and explore stories in a sword-and-sorcery style fantasy world. And truly, that's the game: creating meaningful stories. The kind you'd like to tell and retell over again. The kind of stories that excite you, appall you, make you giddy, and ultimately invoke every other emotion somewhere along the way. We're in the story-making business, and we've got a job for you. We need you to make the hero, the villain, the innocent bystander, and the reluctant soldier. We need you to give these characters life and make them believable. We need you to make characters that are integral parts of the stories that envelop Layonara. And we need you to role play those characters.

Layonara debuted on June 24, 2002 and has continued to serve the NWN community continuously ever since.

Note: Layonara currently requires user registration at our forum and a submission of a character biography to join the world. The server password will be revealed to you once your character has been approved. A character biography does not need to be in depth but we want you to begin with a story, as rich or mundane as you wish.
