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....

Oram watched with fascination as the metal bent, then sprang straight again as he released it. He had done it several times, until a red crease had formed in his index finger, and the wire showed no sign of losing its springiness. Looking at the welt across his fingertip, he...
Oram wanted to try the fungi in his hands; they reminded him of lemon drops, both in color and in smell. So did Osric, he could tell. Oleg could tell, too. ”Go ahead,” he told his sons. ”They’re safe to eat. Tell me what you think.”
Your body heals well, Ralgar. Perhaps you are more Deathkissed than you know. Such strength should not return as quick as it has the healer admitted, muttering a little to herself. All of the healers that had seen Ralgar's injury had explained the...
Cold winds blew over the tribal camp of the Bro'ky'na, Ralgar sat outside on a tree stump used as a seat around the fire. Other tribesmen rested by the warmth, some exhausted from training, others merely relaxing for the day. One of the many joys of...
You ask too much of your body, Ralgar. All must be healed before you may fight again at full strength unless you intend on visiting our Maiden early the harsh growls of Haltunga left the throat of one of the healers, talking to Ralgar as he sat down...
Oram lay on the ice staring up at the gloomy Cylus sky for several trills, then began slowly to move, after satisfying himself that he wasn’t hurt by his fall. The suddenness with which he had lost his footing took him utterly by surprise, as did the hardened smoothness of the...

Bending his knees, Darius carefully set the barrel down into the hold of the Libertalia . He let out a sigh of exertion, his muscles warmed by the exercise. He looked at the gathered supplies, and even in the darkened space, he...
Oram woke to find his left hand itching insistently; that may have had something to do with the several mosquito bites that had appeared on it overnight. Remembering his father’s warnings not to scratch such bites too much, the hunter spent most of the first break of the...
The seas made a foamy chorus as they churned through windy weather. The day was overcast, but it didn't look like rain, and there'd been no red sky in the morning. Rorom was confident he'd be safe on his longboat, exploring the coasts...
Rorom sets up his hammock for the night, having arranged his catch in the smokers. He tries to get some rest, but is interrupted by Fortuna's Squawking.
Rorom had just pulled the net up from the ocean deeps, as he brought up what little bounty the waters were willing to part with today. The Elemental forces spoke in strange nothings lately, and he couldn't make sense of them. There was much interference that he couldn't make...

Darius' blond leg hairs stood on end as as his last item of clothing crumpled onto the deck of the ship. The man shivered as he instinctively covered his nakedness with his hands. Goosebumps covered his entire body, his muscles...
Sleet rattled on the branches overhead as Oram labored to kindle a flame. The hunter had carelessly dropped his flint earlier and gotten it damp, so he was now using a fire drill instead. He was greatly relieved when at length the ember caught, and the air he breathed gently...
Mount Ornthrus loomed in the distance, a dark spire of jagged rocks and murky mist. Among all the mountains in Scalvoris this one was known as the most dangerous; a place of malice and...

It was a dark and stormy night, we had all heard of those before hadn’t we? The boat bobbed and weaved, the sounds of feet above them could be heard subtly over the beat of the rain. Two lanterns were lit in a cramped sleeping compartment where men...
22nd of Ymiden 720, in the small hours of the morning before dawn.
Fish were slippery as ... well fish. Hard to catch, even when he used his tentacle suckers as the merwoman had taught him. The webbed claws on his right hand weren't sufficient to stick into the...
Oram wiped off some of the sweat drenching his brow as he watched the lambent white plume glide down the upper slopes of Syper. Not even the extra sunlight of Saun could completely melt the snow that capped the highest peaks of the Scalvoris Mountains; however, it did sometimes...
Oram strongly suspected he was being set up for some sort of prank. Osric and the other young men in the camp had spoken one evening at table of strange things and events on the island of Faldrass. Talk was that there had been some sort of powerful attack at Faldrass...
30 Ashan 720
After his initiation into the Elements, Balthazar had been put to quite the test. He was to infiltrate the crew of Edric Drake, a pirate who had been terrorizing the waters of Scalvoris for the last season. He'd been captured by the Elements a few times when he came ashore for one...

Castles Saved By Sand Arc 720, 46th of Ashan
The scraping of sand sounded like music to Darius' ears. It was a familiar scratching that he'd heard many times before, and it usually had a...
7 Ymiden 720
The world was not the same anymore. Faldrass erupting had changed it in the worst of ways... or perhaps it had only changed Scalvoris. There was a sense of dread and doom lingering over everyone, even those who knew better because they were fortunate enough to have been there at the...
They mostly said nothing before the lad with the pig arrived. Rakvald, or Craw as he came to know himself in this form, was generous with the animal he sacrificed to the mermaid. She and he both gorged on its flesh, and it...
