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.

Arc 720, 23rd of Cylus
Darius was leaning against the large, smooth rock, his eyes peering into the darkness beyond. His breaths were quiet and slow, and he held his mouth close to the boulder so that the clouds that formed as he exhaled would not be easily seen. It was nigh on impossible to see...
Arc 720, 10th of Vhalar
The flame of the oil lamp flickered in the sea breeze. Its orange light that it cast over the ship's railing shifted as the Libertalia shifted in the gentle swell of the Hollow Sea.
Darius cast his gaze out upon the water, a shifting black blanket with a line of moonlight...
Oram did not see the spires until he rounded a corner, within a few hundred paces of Windward Haven’s front gate; surrounding ridge lines, tree lines and walls of icy mist raised like an army of ghosts by the newly-returned sun had all conspired to shield those spires from view....
1st Ymiden, 722.
The waters, a day or two's swim from Gunvorton, near the shore.
Morning.
Hiding by the big rock in the waters off of the fisherman's beach, Areia watched the translucent dwelling. She watched and waited with growing interest....
1st Ymiden, 722.
The waters, a day or two's swim from Gunvorton, near the shore.
Night, to dawn.
There was a sprinting shimmer of white light high, high in the night sky, and Areia looked wonderingly up at the sky from the location where she was hiding. She had discovered a little kelp forest...
This was why he hated dealing with academics. They made everything go so slowly because they were afraid of the world around them- or at least the parts of it they hadn't completely pulled apart and catalogued. He had given Dean Wagstaff the night to consider his proposals and in the...
Passing by Ilaren's shrine, Praetorum took a moment to consult the map he'd borrowed, searching again for his destination. There was a flutter of wings in the corner of his vision, and then a tiny blue tail pointed towards the center of the map, where a tiny label...
There was so much yet to be done. The continued rehousing of the lost population of Faldrass was relentless in its churning complications, complaining in shortages of everything from food to tents to water and everything in-between, and they weren't wrong. There was so much to...
The mage and the knight-less squire took the seats that Dean Wagstaff offered them inside his tent. Henri slowly pulled out his own chair from his desk and sat down as well. They were at the base of one of the mountains where the University had set up a small headquarters to begin...
It'd been a good two arcs since Woe parted ways with Victor, Balthazar, and Yeva on the summit of Mount Onrthrus. In that time, much had happened. Their paths had taken them apart from each other. There was the falling out with Balthazar, of course, the absence of Victor as Woe...
It was exactly where the geologist had told him it would be when he sent the man back down the mountain path. Balthazar walked alone up the Syper for about a bit and a half before he saw the tents of the abandoned camp poking out over a few rocks. His pace quickened and any signs of...
An alarm woke the mage and his company early the next trial. A miner from one of the forward groups in the mountain had spent the night battling the weather to get back to the basecamp to report the terrible news and the alarm had been sounded when the watchmen saw the state the...
10th Ashan, 722.
The waters, a day or two's swim from Gunvorton, near the shore.
Night.
It was a chill night, and the young mer pressed herself against the rock to hide from the irritatingly chill wind. Her body shivered, though she had hidden most of herself in the waves so that she wasn't...
It was a long but not uncomfortable journey to the base of Scalvoris Mountains. Well not uncomfortable for the man with many magical items and sparks to help him adjust to the temperatures. The Ashan storms didn't make the journey easier. A party of twelve men moved together on a mix...
He and another stood near the entrance to the outermost dock, checking ensembles and, when satisfied with that, surveyed their surroundings. People would begin arriving soon, and everything needed to be ready. Everything...
