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....
The Website: Standing Trials ( / ), referred to through the rest of this thread as the website , our website , the site , our site , Standing Trials , and Trials .
You: The person reading these words right now.

It started with a note, dropping to the floor from a shadow, landing half in the light, half in the dark. The parchement was light, yellowing, though fresh, not at all old or faded. Two notes dropped this night, one for Navyri, one...
We're lost, aren't we? Faith said to him and she looked at him with a half-amused, half-accusing look on her face. I have a splinter, which she'd already removed and cleaned but still. Last time we were this lost.. Faith smiled at him,...
The baby crocodile chirped at Kesindir, the bow lowering slowly as he eyed the reptile. He knew next to nothing about crocodiles, but what he could see was teeth. Lots of teeth and a size that absolutely terrified him. The mother of the baby...
Kesindir sat on the ground next to the small fire he'd built the previous night and took stock of his surrounds. The sky was dark, even if the birds were convinced it was early morning, the sun showed no signs of casting its light upon the ground. A typical Cylus...
Emerit and I found the yurt-city of Havardr in a state of joyous uproar as the twin suns began to dip across the horizon in the west. I hazarded a guess that it had something to do with the trio of whale carcasses clustered on the shore, harvesters...

Kura was excited, eager, and happy. She had a few days off from the matters of state, since for the moment she could do nothing until responses to her recent letters arrived. She had decided to...
81st of Ashan, Arc 718 - Dusk
It had been an unexpected request, but given it was Kura Wolfsdotter, Sephira had given it serious thought. The mortalborn had asked to be initiated into Rupturing. Had it been anyone else, anyone less stalwart and levelheaded the mage would have given a resounding...
Phobius had never been to the Sweetwine Woods, before. He hadn't even heard of them until a few trials ago, when a nice man from Scalvoris Town had told him that he could find a lot of special plants there, if he looked hard enough. Some of them could be used as...
“This is stupid.” Ethan complained bitterly as he walked along side Sephira through the dimly lit streets of Scalvoris Town. The young striking man sulked beside his superior, clearly irritated to be out late that night. Although he was obviously not so unhappy...
Eric sat at the front of his wagon, watching the town up ahead come closer as he urged Titan forward. The Ox had seemed happy that he was finally getting out of the barnyard. With the Shepherd only taking occasional trips the animal didn't get to...
Sea birds called and friendly waves parted before the prow of the Gilded Siren. With the seas around Scalvoris in some semblance of order once more, Rynata set sail early next morning on the calm sea. She had a few days to get back to Gunvorton and was confident that she would...

The rise of the sun was something Hookor had always taken time to admire. Not that he was usually nostalgic, as Crook was a researcher and skeptic first and foremost. If there was no repeatable proof on something, he did...
Eric sat between the trees, surrounded by the wild as he allowed his mind to be open to the world around him. His spark working with his conscience to take in the plethora of frequencies around him. A mass of chorus, like hundreds of choirs were...
(Attacks for the dagger are basically the same as sword attacks – aiming to deliver a pulled blow to a legitimate target area. There is one exception, that thrusting is allowed. Speed is of the essence - get your weapon in and out as quickly as possible to get back out of distance....

The best way to get used to a new city is to jump right into it. The Biqaj had never been shy even if she did lean towards quiet contemplation more often than not but quiet would not tell her feet how to traverse the best parts of the city....
Let me very clear: I do not tolerate disrespect. I especially, have very little patience for those beneath me.
It should come as no surprise that when I received a degrading letter from Madam Thoreau - a young woman who no doubt married her ancient husband solely for inheriting his fortune (this...
Early morning, the sun peaking over the horizon, rays slowly pushing the low fog up off the ground. Kesindir was outside of Scalvoris Town, Dj’Oriq and horse in tow, as he made his way down the trade route leading west of the city. One of the things his father...
Such a thing was normal during the Cold Cycle, but this one was different. At least for Kesindir it was. Dj’Oriq felt it too. The hawk was buried underneath one of Kesindir’s blankets, a few stray tail feathers betraying the raptors hiding spot. Kesindir...
After the past few hunts, Emerit did not expect this one to be anything like the others. Adventure? Pah! Injuries? Unless a sailor would get knocked over and off board with blasting hangover, unlikely. So stretching on the deck, Emerit took in a lung full of air. The...
Although he’d had his reservations about it at the beginning, Tio found that he had no regrets about becoming a Seeker. With Ozbourne instructing him he was learning things about the arts of magic he’d never known...
The blade sliced the air, whistling as she swung her arm in largo mano , just outside of kicking range. His great sword was slower; a mighty weapon ready nonetheless, capable of pushing her back. Where Navyri’s fighting stile was agile and severe, he still had the power to keep her...
It was remarkably fitting that luck shared its patron Immortal, Chrien, with storms, for just as stormclouds could spring up out of nowhere across a clear blue sky so too could bad luck roll out of nowhere right...
Can you feel it Tio? The peace? The tranquillity in the air?
Yeah I can feel all that. I'm a tad more concerned about why I can't feel my toes though to be honest. Why did you bring me here, I'm freezing my perfectly...
Fog covered the sea, giving the impression that the ship was sailing in the clouds above. The captain had informed me that is was because of the volcano below the waves. Cold night air mixed with the warm water, the two elements of creation caught in a...
