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....

A gloom hung over the depths of the Scaltoth's canopy. The cover of tree branches cast the surface of this part of the jungle floor like an eternal twilight, even in the middle days of Ymiden. The wolf was sure it was no coincidence that he was drawn to this place in the first instance, though he...
Lavana was determined driven by the voices in her head, that she needed to embark on a quest to the northern reaches of Scaltoth but such an undertaking of a highly dangerous expedition required manpower. So she did what she felt was best at the time and had made a request with the Widows Lament,...
Faldrass , Deacon thought unhappily as he regarded the ash-laden haze overhead. Folks who lived on this island, -and Deacon in particular- understood what effect the volcano's moods could have on its surroundings. The induk that lived there was supposed to be one of islands'...

If Kotton could take the time to simply gaze at the things that fell from the sky, he would. Except, he would do so for hours, which was not particularly liked based on those who held full-time jobs, so he had come to understand.

There was no other way to look at it. Daia had set him an utterly impossible task. Found a place where people and Jacadons could live together harmoniously. Bring them all together, under a common understanding.
As the monsoons of Ymiden became a thing of memory, Saun began and brought with it another sun. The trials were often nearly impossible to bear, in spite of the storms that were more frequent than they usually were, and even...

In all his life, Nir'wei had never ridden something quite as big as Scorn. Even a single normal-sized Jacadon dwarfed Traveller, with a forty-foot wingspan to the average Sohr Khal's twenty-five. The Storm Rocs of their Lightning Knight escort had wingspans of a...
It was one of those nights when the shadows seemed to take on lives of their own, scurrying across the stone floors of Chest's interior like fleeting creatures, running from the light. Winston shivered and his...
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...
Right, so you have the leg? Asked Lyra with a wearing tone over the Holo-com they had made for the Lab.
Winston nodded and picked up to exoskeletal plate from the Gian's spider, comparing it to the plate he'd made for the back of his hand. Turning it over...
First he had a penchant now for keeping a low profile, working behind the scenes. He had kept behind a cloak of different faces for the better part of the season now, ever since he'd acquired magic through some conceit devised by Euadne. And he'd...
The Monks were powerful, in body and mind. There was definately something to be said for studying the discipline they deployed, but anyone underestimating the strngth they held within their fighting style, would find themselves quickly...
The jungle of Scaltoth was not a place for the faint of heart, nor the short of leg. Winston, was fortunately only one of these things, but Joe made up for the other.
The ferret inventor clung to the rim of Chest , his faithful luggage companion, as it...

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...
Woe had invited Anima to an outting, requesting that she inform nobody of the destination or that she was keeping his company. Woe was perhaps branded as something of a villain these days, for fewer reasons than he really ought to. In truth, Woe felt the weight of his sins...

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...
He gasped for air before launching into a coughing fit. A mix of sea water and inhaled sand were trying to kill him the second time since the first attempt was botched. But this lizard had no way of knowing that. For him, the next inhale was all that...
