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....

Throwing a dagger made from a Mer's rib cage had quickly become Maxine's new focus. Aiming at a stone column across the chamber, her weapons rarely ever hit their target. Almost every time she struck the far wall long behind the target. Her inaccuracy was discouraging to say the...
The only thing worse than hunger or thirst was anticipation. Maxine may have claimed a reliable water source as her own, sealed the most obvious entrances, and set up traps to catch those that slipped through the cracks with the help of her allies, but she was still no better than...
Anyone who tries to take it from me will meet the same fate as this stupid bitch. Maxine explained to spectators for the very serious, potentially traumatic event. Your body will be roasted over the pit to sustain me. The pieces of you that I have no use for will serve as my new...
She was nearing this hyena of a man, his rotten teeth flashed at her while his eyes studied her with lustful, ill intent. The small falls rushed beside her. This unsavory end of the highest criminal nature awaited before her. Just beyond laid the sudden dips...
8th Ymiden, 718th Arc
“So you saying whaling has been harder these days, aye?” Emerit called across the waters at Ade as they pulled off the coast. She decided to take one of those random jobs with a few of the fishers who have been struggling to catch the large beasts. Not only because it was...

Long After Zida
And so, they left the docks.
They had left a few breaks past dawn, on the tides. His family, of course, had come out to bid him farewell - Cyrus and Katie, Luna, the twins and Faith. Along with the two spirit...

Long before the sun rose, Navyri stood before the old mansion, blue eyes glowing in the eerie darkness. A fog had settled along the property and she could smell the sickening scent of rotten leaves, heard the dead brambles...

Location: Qit's Rendezvous Point
It was probably the worst idea he had ever committed to. Sailing into the open waters beyond Scalvoris was something he dreamed of for the longest time, and now it seemed like that dream was...
The painful truth had been an entity with teeth sharper than a blade forged to split hairs. The silence gnawed at the very being of those unfortunate enough to be plunged into the beasts abyss. There were three people, or rather two and a reptile that chose to survive together. As a cohesive unit...

Dreams visited him in the night, grasping at disconnected thoughts to pull forth some image of reckoning that would leave him full of dread. Such like the claws of night upon the day, there was slow transition between the...
Maxine had hardly the time to take a breath before she was plunged into the depths of the small pool they'd just claimed. Arms and tentacles alike tugged her into the darkness. Bubbles of air escaped from her nose as she panicked at the surprise of the assault. She opened her eyes...

Continuation of this thread.
18th of Vhalar, 716.
I can't wait anymore, Greyhide. He'd scarcely wanted to break camp for the night at all. Nobody could have anticipated what they'd found yesterday, nor the injuries they'd all sustained. Traveller's...
One of the greatest strengths a necromancer possessed was the variety of thralls they could bring into a battle. Combining troops with different abilities and strengths into a unit allowed them to cover...

Mercedes awoke sometime after his trial, chained up, deprived of his elements due to his attempted suicide. His arms were chained to his sides, his hands strapped shut in fists with leather, his legs chained together, and his mouth gagged. He could feel himself being dragged, laying...
The incoherent whispers in the abyss were rattling chains, and the darkness but an indefinite plague which tore asunder the population. Dismay, despair, and hopelessness held the prisoners; restraining them within boundless depression. Some were maniacal, and others lost their sanity whilst the...
Maxine sat on the rocky ledge of the water pool. The gentle wisps of fallen water rising back up toward the air glistened her cheeks and settled upon her hair. In her lap sat the strange makeshift gladius she'd won by murdering the last keeper of the small waterfall. It was a...
The sound of rushing water had been unmistakable. For so long she believed it to be something of a mirage in a desert, like a tease her mind manufactured and projection into her reality for the parched woman to chase endlessly. She had half a mind to give up after what felt like a...
One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four. The edge of her bone dagger carved its imaginary opponent open with more emotional will than prowess. It sliced through the dark, leaking pitch black blood of the unseen along with the sound of water dripping from the ceiling of the chamber....
On that chilly day, the water above moved lazily with the tied. Below, Nixie perched against a jagged underwater cliffside, wrapping her tentacles around and between rocks to keep in place. One of them prodded and felt around inside a small hidden opening...
A deep-bellied laugh erupted from the odd-looking mage who held her captive right where she now stood. The ball of fire he held in his filth-ridden palm kept a steady circle of light around the pair, the crackle of the stagnant flames echoing alongside the...

Qit'ria awoke in a sweat, her heart racing. Her mouse eyes darted around the tent she was in, on the eastern end of Sweetwine Woods near the coast, tucked in under a budding nut tree on the banks of Ol' Tuck's Run. She was starving, which...
It would have been the natural thing to assume that, upon getting an apprentice, Tio's secret lab would have gotten cleaner. A lot of teachers had their students perform chores as a means of teaching them to respect the hierarchy between them, or...

Qit'ria's fingers worked slowly, using some flexible bark she'd carved to tie several sticks together. She was making a simple frame, using sticks as crossbars. The bark wrapped around the intersections of the sticks, and many...

Qit'ria sat around her fire, sharpening her many blades with the whetstone she'd gotten from the man who'd shown her how to use it. She never did catch his name, but that was fine by her. The less people to bother her the better. And while...
