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.
We're starting a little something different, somewhat in the spirit of the NaNoWriMo, since we're a writing site it seems appropriate to take the opportunity to motivate each other to have some fun and earn some medals by starting and completing...

/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...

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...
Sweat poured down the Sorcerers bare flesh as a series of labored breaths took place whilst he made an attempt to strengthen his body. After being viciously attacked by an unknown group of individuals; Merces needed to acquire a new body. His current form did not do him much justice being that he...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=6140 25th Trial of Cylus during Arc 718
Will you 'urry up? Vega looked at him and grinned. Come on, Arlo, the wind isn't that bad, she shouted, over the screaming gusts which battered both of them with ice and sleet and hail and snow. It's gonna clear up...
A small, bronzed hand wiped sweat from the brow of the hidden huntress. Qit'ria lay upon her belly beneath a leafy bush, one that she knew not the name of. One of her javelins was clutched in her other hand, the...
And what good is the debt of a pauper? Liza quirked an eyebrow at the man in front of her. Genuvah sighed, Mr. Rioghsson, in the time you've been here, you've done little other than rack up a tab at the Lemon Messy, and that Twin Queens establishment....

If you even feel me gettin' warmer, Arlo, please promise me that you'll wake me an' get out of bed. She was worried, there was no doubt, but she was warm and fed and more than any of those things, she was exhausted ....
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=13293 8th Trial of Cylus during Arc 718
Things had changed, and changed for the better a lot since Arlo had appeared in front of her up here. He'd insisted on setting up camp properly, and she had slept. Arlo had used an aspect of his mark from Cassion and...
5th Cylus, 718
He was out hunting, and Vega had been sitting on what was very much her rock, meditating on the scar on the palm of her hand. Focusing, listening, controlling what it was that needed to happen. It was tiring work and she was quiet, subdued and in a place of holding on the best she...

Mornin', she said, still half asleep as she curled into him with a smile. She'd said it a hundred times before, every morning they'd woken together, but then as consciousness came to her, Vega almost tensed except his...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=9675 8th Cylus, 718 The storm was raging, like nothing she had ever heard and Faith had to admit that it was a little frightening. The winds howled and hailstones the size of children's marbles battered the house. When Padraig had gone out and closed the...

77th of Ymiden, Arc 715
“Elias?” a female voice said inquisitively. The old man turned to her from his perch on a blackened volcanic rock. “You’ve never told me where you came from or why you’re here.” Sephira noted stoically as she focused on the space in front of her and began seeking out...

Cylus 1st
Qit'ria trudged through the snow, having just left Cally's dropping off the meats she'd gathered recently in her hunts. She was a bit more chipper now that she found a way to sleep. After having discovered that her sores disappeared while in...

3rd Cylus 718
She really was not enjoying this. It was so damned cold and so damn difficult and Vega was beyond miserable. More than that, she had truly not considered just how debilitating this was. Whenever she held a weapon in her hand, it burst...

Damnit but it was cold . Vega didn't know whether it was safer when she was cold, but she could only assume that it was and so, she decided, she was going to embrace the cold. Endure the cold. Love the cold, that's...
That was the only thing that Tio's life down in his newly refurbished laboratory seemed to subsist of ever since he'd taken the damn thing over. Every book, journal and scrap...
