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....

Ashan 51st, 717 Amaris had been at this for several trials already. They had been successful in finding the spherical specks after the night had passed, though they had yet to see the phenomena behind them. They had only been on the iceberg island of Ishallr for a few breaks, and already they had...
AIE BEHNA LOKK, he yelled, his voice booming. It was Haltunga; a command for the undead, one he used to distinguish from words of casual graces to the more particular demands of a Necromancer in earnest. The undead beneath him faltered and waived, groaning, moaning; its jaw...
Trials ran together almost as if they ceased to exist; everything here had been blanketed with complete and total darkness. However, there were a select few, proud people who learned to survive and thrive beneath the surface of Idalos. Little plant-life existed here, and the only...
The Beneath was no place for friends or allies. There was no sense of camaraderie or a need to band together to ensure mutual survival. Within the deepest depths of the labyrinth that was Slags Deep prison, it was every man and woman for themselves. The inmates haunting the dark...
Time heals all wounds. Everything could be waited out. Those were the types of words one used to comfort oneself in times of peril and despair, but the Rusalka was no liar; not even to herself. There was no adjusting to The Beneath. There was just existence. Survival. It had been...
The rising sun. The morning sky. Fields of wheat and whole castles of grain. On and on the fields went, the farms - for miles. Alistair could see what felt like the whole of Scalvoris from atop the hill they sat on, as the two men talked eagerly, recounting their strange...
The trial before had been one of heart-pounding, near-death experiences. A conspiracy to kill and steal from fellow inmates was rudely disrupted by the arrival of a horde of Lissira's Couriers. Several times Max and Mercedes narrowly avoided death and infection. Somehow, likely since...
Ashan was turning out to be a slow season so far. The ships crossing through Scalvoris’ waters were either too carefully guarded to be worth attacking, or carried such cheap cargo that it wasn't worth the effort....
He simply was not good enough, and did not have enough power to take on another prisoner; let alone an ithecal several times his size. Ran'dar was a “Veteran” in comparison to several of the other prisoners, and was far more powerful than he seemed to lead on. The ithecal was powerful in several...
Arc 683, 89th of Ashan/Arc 693, 56th of Ashan
“Daaaaaa!”
Rynata’s cry carried across the sunny deck of a single ship floating out at sea. Her voice had the distinct pitch and clarity of a small girl, which at the moment, she was....

The winds had died down and the night had turned into a beautiful one. Standing atop the rise in the undulating landscape, there was a man. He seemed like a long way away to Arlo, but yet at the same time, he was right there. The...

Getting this lot organised was going to be akin to teaching a bunch of feral cats to swim in a synchronised fashion, Tom thought as he beamed in delight at them. Righteo, then! Let's...

It had been a full five trials since the darkness of The Beneath swallowed her whole. Down here she had become blind in the absence of light. Any indication a world around her existed came with sound and touch. The air was never comfortable, the fluctuating temperature always leaving...
The brutal cold had been accompanied by large flakes of snow that tore asunder the landscape. Trees wove about with snow covered tops. The once wonderful and gorgeous blue “Sky” above them had become pitch black, with the exception of various stars. The eerie howl of wind in tandem with...
Ashan 65 718
It had been a short, frigid journey from Scalvoris Town. Maxine had been heavily chained, strapped, manacled, blindfolded, and bundled up in warming robes, and then hung by a rope that dangled down from the claws of one of the Air Elements' Scal Sohr Kahls. It flew quickly, as their...

Beads of sweat, hands hard at work, isolation, sensory deprivation, a lack of light, and a lack of motivation were all the symptoms of hard work and depression. The sorcerer became mundane, and drove himself mad within the veil of darkness called level seven. Hatred coursed through his veins, but...
Above Level 7, strength laid decidedly in numbers and alliances. In The Beneath, isolation was usually the preferred strategy for survival. Every inmate hidden in the dark tunnels was an enemy. To assume any other prisoner harbored a desire not to quell competition for resources was a...
14th of Ashan, Arc 718
It was actually somewhat pleasant outside, a fact that was not lost on Sephira as the Water Troop sloop pulled up the singular dock outside the Spirit’s Rest oasis. The air was still cool and crisp, but the warm breezes of spring had indeed arrived. The mage waved to the...
