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.

Dark hands rolled into fists rubbed at the tired, baggy eyes, big and brown, as a yawn echoed through the tent. Despite being morning, which was hard to tell during Saun since there always seemed to be a sun in the sky, it was terribly warm. Qit'ria didn't mind the warmth,...
He had to fight himself, force himself, drag himself another step forward. Behind him a long, continuous, trail in the snow showed where he'd come from. He barely managed to lift his foot enough to drag it through the snow and put it down again. His...
68th of Zi'da, Arc 717
Immortal's Tongue
Late Morning
When one asked for a way to get closer to the immortals, Scalvoris seemed to have only a singular answer, ready on every local's lips. Immortals' Tongue was an island off the coast of Scalvoris, not too far by boat from the town of Scalvoris....
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=5948 73rd Trial of Zi'da during Arc 717 Oh drop dead, Huw, I am not doin' that. Vega's cousin, Huw, looked up at her with a raised eyebrow and he chuckled. Then he called up to her. Come, now, Eva, I asked you nicely, did I not? Vega rolled her eyes at his...

Waters Around Scalvoris
75th Zi'da, 717
First impressions were powerful things. They set the precedent for the future, gave a scale on which so many future interactions would be judged. All too often the first impression, if it didn't go well,...

Do you reckon this one is better, she'd said, showing him a small wooden box with an engraved lid and then holding up another, but this time with the lid plain. Or this one? I mean, I think I prefer the second one, t'be 'onest. She was...

Vega's familiar was here, somewhere, in the Sweetwine Woods and they were close, so very close she knew. The night before,...

Plains of Scalvoris
17th Zi'da, 717
Tio didn't normally find hunting an especially fun activity. If given a reason to he could front an argument about how chasing a smaller, weaker and far less well equipped creature to the death was more cowardly...
Saun 15, 717
Scalvoris Town Harbor, Some very early break
With Saun’s two suns, there was no night and no darkness, just barely a dusk where the pair of lights hung low on the horizon but never quite disappeared beneath it. In order to escape the heat and perhaps just to mark the passage of...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=4995 11th Zi'da 717
The weather was awful, the winds howling and last night there had been a snow storm. The snow was piled high and the island was starting to get cut off. Travel was becoming more difficult on the island itself, too, some of the more remote...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=128&image_id=11993 1st Zi'da Arc 717 I say we throw him overboard an' be done with it. I don't like it.
Captain Marson looked at his navigator and smiled slightly. He knew that the superstitious biqaj didn't mean it, was just blowing off steam, but equally, it was...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=9536 4th Trial of Saun, 717th Arc
The heat wave caused by the thirds sun’s arrival, was so unbearable Niv was worried that her vines would shrivel into nothing and her golden sap would boil away. It was bearable near the sea, where the ocean breeze offered a...
Yeah, I'd say it's perfect, Vega said with a slight grin. The clearing they'd chosen had a stream running nearby, a place for the campfire which would be ideal for them. It was defensible, there was a more covered area where their...
Vhalar 100, 717 - U’Frek’s Trial
Beach Outside of Scalvoris, Evening
A course more promising
Than a wild dedication of yourselves
To unpathed waters, undreamed shores; most certain,
To miseries enough: no hope to help you;
But, as you shake off one, to take another:
Nothing so certain as your...
For the first time since he’d met Ozbourne, Tio wondered if asking the crazy old man to teach him how to control the elements had been a bad idea. Joining this secret society he was...

Zi'da
Arc 717 Papa? Vega said, sitting on the bed in her room. It had been her room all her life, and one of the things that she loved about her life now was that there was no room that was hers. She didn't sleep beneath a wooden ceiling any...

No, you're right, Faith said with a smile which showed her slight sense of confusion. It's definitely a different taste. It must be something to do with the yellow dragon wood. She and Arlo shared a class this season, in the Letter...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=11989 5th Trial of Zi'da during Arc 717 It had taken them longer than she had thought to get to the Sweetwine Woods, but the weather was awful and they had both agreed that there was no point to pushing themselves. They were seeking her familiar, Iris, but...
4th Zi'da, 717
There was something wrong with him, Vega knew. No, wrong with him wasn't quite right, but there was something on her father's mind. He was just slightly distracted, not quite there. They had arranged to meet, here on his boat and he was waiting on the deck for her. The snows had...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=6140 9th Trial of Zi'da during Arc 717
OW! Vega glared at her father as the flat of his sword caught her across the back of her legs. That well stings, Papa!
Jo'qan laughed to himself and shook his head. Not as much as it would sting if someone cut you...

Arc 717
So, Vega said, cradling her cup of tea in her hands and relishing the warmth of it, I spoke to my familiar. She pulled the blankets back for him as he came back into the tent they shared, so they could sit together and discuss...

Qit'ria finished loading up her pull wagon, and looked back at her campsite with a bit of a dull ache in her heart. It was just a cave in the root system beneath a tree atop a knoll, but...

Mornin', she said as she woke. He was already awake but laying there and watching her. Vega smiled as she felt his arms wrapped tight around her and their legs tangled up together; the last moments of sleep left her...
