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....

Look, mummy! a young girl exclaimed with excitement, pointing to the cheetah. Ela glanced aside and looked, the small child waving at her and the animals. With a small but shy grin, the Mortalborn waved back to the child, before both the parent and daughter made their way in to...
Ran'dar called out what sounded like a suicide mission: Couriers of Lisirra, Aye-aye Mice, Boulder Snakes, and several men. Aye-aye Mice aside of course, the odds seemed tipped firmly out of their favor. They were blindfolded. Even without the silly cloth tied around their heads,...
It hadn't been long since her first encounter with Qit in the sweet vine. But she was making progress as a lowly scavenger.
Shed been scowered the the frozen snow, collecting hefty rocks. Shed struggle to push them and wriggle them free from iced earth, shed bend at the knee and...
10th of Ashan, Arc 718
The scent of ash and sulfur was strong as Sephira made her up the side of the Faldrass volcano. As she walked she gazed at the freshly forged mark on her hand, the shape of a shield clearly defined on her skin. There were only stories about this sort of thing, of Immortals...
Meditation was supposed to be good for her, right? Rynata wondered this as she sat aboard her ship with her knees tucked close to her chin. The empty crate that was her perch gave her access to a magnificent ocean view, but the sunlit scenery was quite a contrast from her...
For a long time she'd felt this...nagging feeling in her mind. Inner nagging had often came with the territory of her addiction to Ambrosia, but this had been one that felt completely different. It was something deep within. A knowing of sorts. She wasn't about to meditate over it...

They came from a number of places, that Ashan. Some of them were there, that fateful trial, because they lived near or in the Sweetwine and they had heard of the strangeness which was...
Arc 718, 40th of Ashan
Everyone directed her towards Shania at The Home and Hearth. From the moment her feet had hit the docks of Gunvorton, all those she consulted had been nothing but friendly. They greeted her from afar, curious...
The trials continued to run concurrent to one another, and never before had the sorcerer taken into account the fact that they survived on virtually nothing. The body was an incredibly tenacious device meant to do nothing but survive, and function. The conditions in the beneath...
Her reunion with Mercedes and the alliance with the Ithecal Ran'dar had been a blessing. No longer had she been alone to weather the brutal storm of this fate she'd wrought upon herself. No longer was she the lone animal of prey, packless and readily served to the wolves that roamed...
This is where it all started. Maybe it was more accurate to state that this is where it all ended. The fireball that had been shot high above to signal fresh meat had landed. A free-for-all of bloodshed consumed the entrance of The Beneath like an archaic ritual that came with her...
Patience was indeed a virtue, but Maxine was anything but virtuous. Her lover had spent his time meditating under that pointy rock dripping water for what felt like an eternity. He'd focused his thoughts with the dripping of the water upon his head, each tiny cascade of the element...
Ashan had come and gone, but the prisoners tucked away in the Seventh Floor were mostly unaware the hot cycle had begun. Knowing wouldn't have changed much. Their trials were often ruled by the same goals. For those that didn't have the ability to hoard resources, the quest for...

The Ocean
1st Ymiden, 717
In general Tio was quite proud of the fact that over the course of his life he'd tried a wide variety of new experiences. A lot of them may not have worked out for the best, but even when they turned out badly the fact...
Although he loved his new laboratory to bits, Tio had to admit that VonDwight had gone a bit overboard on the whole 'secret doors' gimmick. It had been fun at first, but as Tio progressed further in his efforts to...
Mother and daughter sat side by side, both absorbed in their respective work. Aren Qy'Ufnaj was seated, legs crossed, in a proper writing desk and pouring over coastline maps. The hardwood surface in front of her was littered with ink, pens, and measuring tools....
The Southern Tribe in the Scaltoth Jungle is known as the Bro'ky'na tribe by those who know such things. Which is mostly the other tribes and themselves, in fairness. No one else really knows, or cares, who they are....
During these past few days the evenings had been much cooler than day time, and perfect for stargazing. With no clouds blanketing the sky overhead, any remaining heat from the sun seemed to evaporate right back into the endless heavens. Even the ocean seemed to sigh in...
Arc 718, 32nd of Ashan
Sailing alone was usually a quiet and peaceful affair. This trial was no different as Rynata traveled up river in order to return to Scalvoris Town from her short visit to Havardr. There was just the soft...
