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...

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....

It had been breaks by the time there was any sign of the sea wolves and Balthazar felt the strain of his ambitions. He'd spent almost the entire time in commune with the elements , particularly the wind, coaxing, convincing, and commanding it to keep the sails full so that the ship...

Man overboard!
The cry might never have been heard over the howling gale had it not been echoed from the stern of the Libertalia as other sailors relayed the message.
U'frek's piss! Darius cursed, but the wind snatched his...
The was a tradition in Scalvoris that Balthazar had never considered important. It was not that he scoffed at what they did, he just did not consider himself a hunter of animals. His prey was often more intelligent, calculating, and difficult to track. The tradition was known as the...
Passing by Ilaren's shrine, Praetorum took a moment to consult the map he'd borrowed, searching again for his destination. There was a flutter of wings in the corner of his vision, and then a tiny blue tail pointed towards the center of the map, where a tiny label...

The flame of the oil lamp flickered in the sea breeze. Its orange light that it cast over the ship's railing shifted as the Libertalia shifted in the gentle swell of the Hollow Sea.

Darius was leaning against the large, smooth rock, his eyes peering into the darkness beyond. His breaths were quiet and slow, and he held his mouth close to the boulder so that the clouds that formed as he exhaled would not be...
Oram did not see the spires until he rounded a corner, within a few hundred paces of Windward Haven’s front gate; surrounding ridge lines, tree lines and walls of icy mist raised like an army of ghosts by the newly-returned sun had all conspired to shield those spires from view....
1st Ymiden, 722.
The waters, a day or two's swim from Gunvorton, near the shore.
Morning.
Hiding by the big rock in the waters off of the fisherman's beach, Areia watched the translucent dwelling. She watched and waited with growing interest....
1st Ymiden, 722.
The waters, a day or two's swim from Gunvorton, near the shore.
Night, to dawn.
There was a sprinting shimmer of white light high, high in the night sky, and Areia looked wonderingly up at the sky from the location where she was hiding. She had discovered a little kelp forest...
This was why he hated dealing with academics. They made everything go so slowly because they were afraid of the world around them- or at least the parts of it they hadn't completely pulled apart and catalogued. He had given Dean Wagstaff the night to consider his proposals and in the...
There was so much yet to be done. The continued rehousing of the lost population of Faldrass was relentless in its churning complications, complaining in shortages of everything from food to tents to water and everything in-between, and they weren't...
The mage and the knight-less squire took the seats that Dean Wagstaff offered them inside his tent. Henri slowly pulled out his own chair from his desk and sat down as well. They were at the base of one of the mountains where the University had set up a small headquarters to begin...
It was exactly where the geologist had told him it would be when he sent the man back down the mountain path. Balthazar walked alone up the Syper for about a bit and a half before he saw the tents of the abandoned camp poking out over a few rocks. His pace quickened and any signs of...
An alarm woke the mage and his company early the next trial. A miner from one of the forward groups in the mountain had spent the night battling the weather to get back to the basecamp to report the terrible news and the alarm had been sounded when the watchmen saw the state the...
10th Ashan, 722.
The waters, a day or two's swim from Gunvorton, near the shore.
Night.
It was a chill night, and the young mer pressed herself against the rock to hide from the irritatingly chill wind. Her body shivered, though she had hidden most of herself in the waves so that she wasn't...
It was a long but not uncomfortable journey to the base of Scalvoris Mountains. Well not uncomfortable for the man with many magical items and sparks to help him adjust to the temperatures. The Ashan storms didn't make the journey easier. A party of twelve men moved together on a mix...
A rush of exuberant energy poured through Zemos' mind as he stood at the threshold between the relatively barren hills and plains east of the Scaltoth, and the Jungle itself. The balmy atmosphere of the large rainforest was a stark contrast...
Another dark Cylus night spent staring at the dead in the Element Hall morgue. Balthazar stood beside a table with a dry and dead body laid out on top of it. The body had been found a few feet from the Tower that sprouted between Scalvoris Proper and Gunvorton. It was recovered and...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=507&image_id=18312 Arc 720, 3rd of Ymiden
The Faldrass docks were crammed full of people. The wooden planks were creaking beneath the crush, and Darius wondered if there had been similar activity when tourists rushed to visit the resort.
He was more confident when he left the group to stall the beast than he was when he actually did find it. Balthazar was crouched low so that most of his body was covered by the bushes and tree beside him. It was good cover and the dark of the night helped as well but Balthazar knew...
/gallery/image/21795/medium Raine LeFleur sat in her shop ~ and it was odd because there was one in Almund and one in Scalvoris Town, yet she was always in both which was, of course, impossible....
Balthazar was not sure if the reports of danger in the Scaloth were exaggerated or if they were the result of what your mind did to you after sitting around so much stimulus for any extended period of time. He thought he was doing better than some of the party but all of them were...
