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....

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...

Ashan 55th
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...

Timestamp: Cylus 26, 718
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...

Cylus 7, 718
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...
Ymiden 20th, 718
The cool wet of damp leaves kissed his back, each paw trouncing through the moist leaf litter of the forest, leaving large impressions in the decaying nature. Heart-shaped nose brushing by some scathing bushes, the Becomer stalked his way onto some well-beaten muddy earth, looking...
Good morning! Faith said, with a smile. She had knocked the door of the small house in the village of Beacon where, just the trial before, she had brought Lei'lira and her family. She'd said she'd pop by this morning and, true to her...
It was driving her crazy. This white buffalo had been haunting her for what felt like entire seasons. It filled the background of her world, echoing now and then through the tunnels she traveled like a teasing, bodiless voice in the wind. For a while she'd come to ignore it. She...
So this was her task: kill the Ithecal. It was straight-forward at the very least. He only stood at nine feet and weighed roughly an entire ton. She'd have to mind his massive, crocodilian teeth and that tail she watched him use to put a defier through a stone wall. His scaly,...
Ymiden 2nd, Arc 718
It had been a long while since Sephira had been given the time to simply stop and train. Her life had been a jumble of so many things. From the expedition into Sweetwine to the riot and then the cult investigation, the mage had barely had a spare moment to breathe.
The woman...
20th of Saun
It wasn't every day Adam Michaels got to attend a party hosted by the super elite to Scalvoris but this truly hadn't been his big plan either; he was on guard duty for the warden he supposed it was a generous offer to stand outside someome elses luxurious abode without the fancy...
25th of Ymiden
Adam had found himself sitting in a chair in front of a pretty albeit irritable woman that seemed more interested in invalidating him than actually giving him credit.
Her eyes danced upon his form, as she squinted peering at him through her glasses. But Adam didnt care so much as...
The storage area within The Blue Wing , her family's ship, was a maze of crates, barrels, and shelves stacked with various supplies. It was rather dark without a lantern, but should one bring a light, swaying shadows of all shapes and sizes would be thrown against the...
Qit'ria was starting to think she enjoyed this self tortured hell she put herself through. She leaned against the rail of the ship, queasy and a bit green in the complexion, clutching one of her javelins for comfort, her...
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...
