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....

We might as well enjoy ourselves while we're here, Kleine, the mage stated, butting his shoulder into the Lotharen Becomer, who'd be doing him the service of flying them off the bloody island and back to normative civilization. As much as he found Scalvoris... quaint, it...
Afternoon ~ 26th of Cylus, Arc 718
It was beautifully calm within the borders of Sweetwine Woods. Storms had hit the island heavily in the last few trials, however it seemed that finally a gentler side of nature was being revealed. There were several downed trees within the woodland but a gentle...
When Fight Takes Hold 18th Trial of Cylus, Arc 718
Permanence was not to be expected when one lived a life such as Freya’s. It was that of a wanderer’s dream to settle down with a lover, on a farm in the rural plains of Ne’haer, and bare children of which she could grow old watching over. She’d...
Arc 718, 31st of Ashan
There was a general buzz along the outskirts of Havardr as fishermen got ready to set out to sea. Nets were being checked and loaded while people slowly gathered around their respective boats. Rynata milled by...
Standing alone the boy watched the surf. The wreckage of the small boat he’d washed ashore on was gone now, he didn’t know what had become of it. Only that it was gone now. But the memories of that storm were not so easily lost. The crashing waves the Tattooed man who had freed...

Somewhere near the edges of Scalvoris Harbor
It is done.
Pash had wrapped calloused, Empathy-marked fingers around a gem that Schubert, that Cassion himself, had handed him and the rush of warmth that filled him had been one that had become familiar over the seasons since he'd...
Darkness coated the area, Ela's vision piercing through it and viewing the house before her. Alrur sat at her side, growling quietly. For whatever reason, he never liked this place. Perhaps it was the wolves, or the lack of prey, or the civilization. But like Ela, being at a house...
Date
Volker was having a decent time relaxing in the Sweetwine Woods. It was getting warmer now with Cylus over, and today was a particularly sunny and warm day. Volker was settled by the edge of the river that ran through the middle of the woods; it was a decent place to relax. He could lay on...
Cylus had been a hectic season for Tio, filled with as many ups as it had been with downs. But perhaps the thing he'd enjoyed most about the normally drab season was the progress his aspiring apprentice-to-be, Tasha,...
61st of Vhalar of the 710th Arc
Common Common Sign Scalveen
Having decided to ask for the day off, and gotten it off as requested, Nalin wanted to take Lavender somewhere. Somewhere that neither of them had been to. So, they were going to go to Faldrass. To visit beaches that they hadn't seen...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=6275 19th Trial of Ashan during Arc 718 Vega had pulled her hair right back from her face, tying it back in a messy bun sort of affair. At least, she figured, she'd managed messy. Then, she'd pulled on her orange dress and she looked at herself in the...
30th Cylus, 718 ~ Just before midnight
You sure? Vega asked, glancing at him as they sat together at the small table in the kitchen. She, of course, had her legs up on a chair next to her, but it meant that they were sitting, together. She'd got dressed, brushed her hair and tied it back and the...
In the middle of the Scaltoth Jungles, just a little way away from the Tribal Holy Lake, is the settlement of the Mur'thi Tribe. The most spiritual and religious of the Scaltoth Tribes, the Mur'thi are the Tribe the others...
The Northern Tribe in the Scaltoth Jungle is known as the Shoma'khan 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....
25th of Cylus, Arc 718
The cold winds of Cylus battered the mage as she stood on the deck of a Water Troop barge. A crumpled letter was clutched tightly in her hand. That morning a young message runner from the Elements had arrived at her door bearing the letter now in her hand. The words...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=10141 30th Cylus, 718 There you are! Huw said and he moved to sit at the small dining table in the galley where Arlo was cooking. Joq'an was in with Vega, who was sleeping, and Huw looked at Arlo with a serious expression. You are an astonishing cook, and I...

She'd slept four straight breaks not moving in his arms at all, simply resting and healing, her breath tickling his neck and her relaxation complete. He knew, of course, that this was the longest, and the deepest ,...
Morning, Arlo said cheerfully, suspiciously, overly cheerfully maybe as he strolled into the cabin where Vega was resting, for the second time that morning. Or what seemed to be morning anyway. You could never really tell in the middle...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=11989 27th Trial of Cylus during Arc 718 I told you, she said to Reese, her cousin as he thanked her. I don't mind. I really don't. I like to be 'elpful an' besides, you pair livin' on here means I don't see you much. Reese seemed surprised as Vega...

after this but before this
She'd made a change, she knew. In and of itself, she had shifted her attitude. Vega had been badly injured two trials before, one leg snapped at the femur, the other shattered at the knee. It wasn't the...

The trial before, they'd set out for the Tower with the intention of seeing it getting struck by lightning in the storms. Apparently, so her father had told her, it was an amazing sight and the Tower lit with constant impacts. They had set out in the truly terrible...

after this and then, this
Papa? Vega lifted her gaze from her continuous staring at the legs which had always served her well at the sound of someone coming in and she looked surprised and pleased in equal measure to see him. Pushing...
She was angry. Vega recognised it, understood it for what it was and she accepted it. It was better, she knew. Better than what she'd been just the trial before. Then, she'd been resigned and fearful, uncertain of herself or what she...
The 22nd of Cylus, Arc 718
Sephira finished buttoning up the white cotton shirt she had purchased a couple trials earlier. It paired very simply and well with a pair of black pants and boots, along with her similarly dyed cloak. The mage wanted to dress in a respectful manner, avoiding the use of...

She was sitting on their bed, her mangled legs straightened out in front of her and she examined them with a deep frown on her face. She didn't like looking at them, yet she sat with her hands folded in her lap and she...
