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.
We're starting a little something different, somewhat in the spirit of the NaNoWriMo, since we're a writing site it seems appropriate to take the opportunity to motivate each other to have some fun and earn some medals by starting and completing...

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....

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...

Timestamp: 20th of Zi'da, 717
Location: Near Sweetwine Woods
It was getting colder, Kura thought as she headed to her home on the edge of the Sweetwine Woods. It had been a short work day, just finishing up some letters, and so the Mortalborn found...
“Nightingale? Is that what you’re going by these days?”
“I… suppose so,” Navyri rose to her tiptoes to reach upwards, fingers barely scraping the edge of the worn bookshelf. Dust trickled downward and tickled her nose, making her face contort as she fought off a sneeze, “It was...
I n the chief's office, Mute received a warm welcome as Linca spotted him over the heads of those who had assembled.
Good to see you again, the man nodded seriously. It would be better if it weren't for all this, but well... perhaps you can help us with that. Immortals know we're going to need...
The flame wielder. The Sesser. Maxine had claimed two lives thus far in her mindless, homicidal rampage. She had no premeditated plan or chosen targets. There were only those that fell into her path, and subsequently fell to her sword. It was that simple. To suggest she had grown...
For the second time in several trials, Eliza was venturing away from Scalvoris Town, and off the island itself. She'd heard about a place called Immortal's Tongue. They said it wasn't far by boat. In fact she'd been told that on a clear trial,...
I n the calm, unexplored depths of the Hollow Sea, a large silhouette drifted thoughtfully along on the mild current. The Daughter of Despair, Chrien, rarely ventured out of her lair. However, tonight she was drawn to the waters surrounding that curious island, Scalvoris. Of course, this island...

A wielder of flames had been left dead in her wake, and still her paranoia was not satisfied. The underground world had grown crowded with time even as the number of Level Seven prisoners was wont to dwindle. She was suffocating in this darkness, driven to her wits end at the thought...
Rapidly the girl ran, panting for breath as she broke through the treeline in a sprint and into the Sweetwine woods. Sweat laced her features as her deep blue eyes flickered and faded. She'd been sat with her friends, two younger girls that adored her in Beacon,...
Ky paused as she shook out the blanket to mark her family's patch of beach to sit for the night's feasting. It's a good trial for a story. Sweet and savoury scents mingled on the air, but she had brought her feast contribution...
66th Ymiden, 718th Arc
It was hard to believe when venturing into this part of the island what nature was on occasion capable of. It was hot. It was humid. But still there were damned icebergs floating all around them like them proclaimed teeth of the sleeping Immortal. It defied logic. And...
The sun was beginning to lower in the sky towards the horizon when Eric finally decided it was time to bring the Goats down so he could cut their wool the next trial. So the Shepherd broke off contact with his spark and the extra information it...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=127&image_id=13722 Ashan 95th, 718
The weather over Scalvoris was bright and warm this day. Wonderful weather for hiking through the Scalvoris Mountains. The air was crisp due to the altitude, a bit nippy still, but the sun kept the vigorous warm. And there was plenty...
Date: Your choice, before or on Saun 20 please
It was a normal trial in the Beneath, though perhaps a bit colder than normal. Dark, of course, not so humid. For the prisoners, there was no real sense of time, without access to the suns outside. But for now, it had been as nice as it could be down...

35th of Saun, Arc 718
Though it was nearing the end of the hottest part of the Arc, the end days of Saun were not a refuge or oasis from the oppressive heat. Far from it. As Hookor looked up at the angry globe in the sky, he wiped the sweat from...
The mortal born wanted to test her mettle against something fucking real, she wanted to test her steel against an adversary that would make her appreciate her skill set of murder and mayhem as she learned to apply discipline to her swordsmanship.
Hardworking, fearless and endlessly dedicated to their work and the betterment of the hive. The honey was only a piece of their scientific value and she knew this. Bianca, a woman of dark skin and hair, admired them with a...
Eric woke abruptly from his sleep, his internal body clock telling him it was time to get up. Although he had no way of telling if it was day yet as the sun was still yet to spread its rays though his windows. Still he sat up and scooted to the edge...
Joseph didn't want to go into Scalvoris with nothing. He had stopped, the city within view, and taken the cart to the side of the road. He had loved being alone. He liked the peace and quiet. He liked the movement of the wind through the trees, the silence of his own breathing. He was...
The lure was simply too great to resist. Winged horses...horses that could fly. To Lei'lira, it sounded as if someone had taken a creature out of her fondest dreams, and gave it life. She had first heard of the Scalvwing Steeds from...
Joseph liked the travel. He liked being alone. He liked the space to breathe, letting his skin absorb the sunlight. After a few weeks in the open air he already felt more like a human again. His skin was becoming less sallow and pale, and warming to the sunlight. He was drinking...
