From Tried's Mouth to the mysterious Tower, the waters around Scalvoris and the island itself hold a vast array of secrets, just ripe for discovery. Here are landmarks, jungles, mountains, forests and islands of note.

New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....

Rorom finds that there are 3 ships, fully crewed, who are sailing with him. You can assume that they are competent and expert in their skills, but skills are mundane and what you would expect from sailors.
Your expedition into the caves finds you discovering three important things:
The caves are...
He knew it was cold. He could feel it. Not just on his skin. In his bones. In his lungs. His joints. It wasn't just a chill or a briskness that made a man bundle up tighter. It was aggressive; it was bitter. It came with such force and depth that you felt beaten down...
This continues directly from here and is waiting for a mod note from Peg. :-)
It did not take too long before there was a sound of someone clambering over the side of the ship. It was Sot. She looked nervous, which was to be expected he guessed as they approached the unknown. You should stop...

The sand felt so nice between his toes. It was soft, but not too soft; course, but not too course. It was tactile enough for Kotton to experience the living world. Sometimes his nerves forced him to leave his corporeal self and inhabit a body outside him. It overlooked his...

Kotton saw upon taking a cursory glance out his frost-coated window panes and agreed that it was still as cold as ever. The sight was uninviting, but not deterring. His desire for adventure was greater than the insouciant warning of a seasonal chill. Even if the wind was blowing...
As Makar followed the next few clues and signs of tracks around the village, the clues he found eventually pointed out to the wilds, beyond even the meager and rustic civilization of Darbyton, so ravaged by pirate attack.
It was possible that Balthazar would never get used to the feeling of waves crashing against a ship. To him, it always seemed like water wanted to consume him and pull him into the dark depths so that he would never be seen again. He knew that wasn't the case because his spark...
Scaltoth was a perilous place at the best of times, let alone with an injury on his shoulder and only just enough food to live. He was far from the best shape he’d been in. But with the help of Vidar and Ase he’d been able to navigate easier...
Clutching the wound on his shoulder, Ralgar leaned his back against a tree, hissing in pain. Everything was a blur, fight or flight kicking in the moment he had an opening. There had been some attack, an attack on Scaltoth of all places. Ralgar...

Tried's Mouth ✲ halftrial from Almund
The past trial had been an interesting one for the Biqaj, flush with the blunders and calamity befitting a misadventure. It might have aged him ten arcs, but he had managed to pull off the one thing he had set...
Gasps echoed quietly all around Oram as the cart lumbered into the anatomical theater. ”Faldrun’s balls, it’s huge!” somebody muttered, which made the hunter grin. He could tell which of the students were townies by how they responded to seeing a cow stomach for the first time....
His ankle was throbbing with pain as Soz touched down on the very edge of the Scaltoth Jungle. He'd not yet taken the time to treat the wound left by Saw Dustin's mancatcher, the tines were deeply imbedded howeve, and likely would become infected if he didn't act fast.
Have you ever really considered leaving it all behind? Robin asked Balthazar as he stoked the small fire they had burning. After a long and taxing journey up the mountain, the two of them had set up camp a few hundred yards from where they map of the pirate attacks had indicated...
Calm yourself. Balthazar said to Simula as he gently stroked the scalvwing steed's mane. He had just landed at the Watch after a lengthy and cold flight. Simula had been aggravated by something when they landed and Balthazar knew only the minimum to get her calm. Pets and kind...
Otherwise known as the Mountain King, Mount Ornthrus was once the prison of man condemned by Ashan. There, a royal court of spirits coalesced around the great spirit Ornthrus, with the condemned standing as a jewel in his...
It had been three, maybe four trials since Ulric possessed and hid within Lucas Mallory's body and the assassin was none the wiser. It had been a tumultuous time for the living dead man who just learned the crew of the ship, the crew he had befriended, were liars and pirates. He...
There it was again! A faint, moving filament of multi-colored light in the mouth of the stream that flowed into the Whisker from Oram’s property. Standing on the short one-lane bridge that spanned said stream, leaning intently over the railing, Oram pointed and looked over to Skai,...
The Fight Pit has laid for centuries in the middle of the Scaltoth, and acted as a purging ground for bad feelings between tribes. When on the verge of war or other irreconcilable differences between individuals, tribes, or entities, the various...

Ulric was resting after a long trial cleaning on the ship. He'd finally started doing some other tasks as well and it put a decent strain on his body so when he got to plop into his hammock, he plopped hard. He had wanted to help out more with the rigging for a while but on his first...
It was colder up here then at ground level and the wind was pinching at his nose as it whipped across his face. The girl was in her twenties and NOT dressed for the cold.
But he's gone... I can't... He... Her words caught in the back of her throat as she found herself unwilling to give voice to...
