Once an isolated and dying township, an influx of academics, adventurers and thrill seekers have made Scalvoris Town their home. From scholars' tea shops to a new satellite campus for Viden Academy, this is an exciting place to visit or make your home!

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....

Kotton’s hand was cramping from finding consolation in his journal. He had a penchant for writing when his mind became too enamored with thoughts. He had been writing for almost an hour now, nonstop. Without so much as a second glance at his many grammatical errors, his pencil continued...

Kotton scanned the surface of the lake, relieved at the occasional sight of a bobbing head, a flailing arm, and nothing that screamed ‘help me!’. He watched as his game partner flutter-kicked, doggy-paddled, did… whatever she was doing now, apparently… until she finally made it...

Kotton had always gotten angry when he accidentally dropped something, even more so if his metaphorical candle wick was already smoking; the embers only needing that additional breath of oxygen to really get his pissed off-ness going. But he never stopped to take a breath and...
Sitting in the marketplace, among the hustle and bustle of the stalls, traders and their patrons sits a small legged Chest surrounded by tables with a great array of immaculately baked confectioneries. Atop one of the tables...

Kotton knew he wasn't very strong, so he sought to be less weak. His virtues and morals, his ethos and high regards for equality, were bound so tightly within his making that their power necessitated additional assistance. He understood that words alone did not always suffice. He...

Jarusha was a long time friend. She was someone he had met in intermediate school, but someone he hadn’t spent much time with since. It wasn’t until she had found him lounging against a counter at a local bar that they had started to hit things off again. She was still the...

This time, Kotton grabbed his partner’s arm and led toward the direction of their next objective. The creepy alleyway to the left of the tavern they had just exited would give anyone with a right mind the heebie jeebies, but the game’s instructions had been clear. And Kotton...

Kotton and his friends (but really they were Worick’s friends) had thought of a fun idea to help satiate their hot cycle boredom. They had been creating a kind of ‘escape game/strategy puzzle/adventure’ during the free time they had in between their jobs and family life. Worick...
I think it's a fun idea. Robin asked Balthazar as the mage took off his boots. The Feats of Strength was hosting a derby of sorts throughout the early trials of Saun. In an attempt to help everyone get their minds off of the troubles that had so recently passed, Balthazar and a few...
Winston scurried along the pier, his little legs moving as fast as they could while also trying not to trip on the uneven planks. He was running late, having gotten caught up in an experiment at the lab with the Portellar they had planned . The ferret hoped that Balthazar would not be too...

The dining table was set. Kotton had a plate placed in front of him and another on the floor for Imogen. In addition, he made sure an extra plate had been positioned across the table for the spirit he hoped would come.
Kotton had been caught off guard upon learning what the date...

At his job there were certain things Kotton could understand, but there were more things he couldn’t. He didn't understand how someone could consciously put a bottle in the wrong section of the fridge, especially if the sections of the fridge were labelled. He couldn’t...

Kotton had no idea where he was. It just seemed like brick wall after brick wall after brick wall after... It was getting tedious, exhausting, and his blurry memory made him a tad bit anxious. Where had he been previous to where he was now?

“Have you started any new projects?” Worick asked, looking up from the papers he held between reddened knuckles. He was diligently reading, a task not to be interrupted.
Kotton had been staring at him for hours, wishing he would say something, anything , but not that. “No,” he...

Kotton had never been so confused in his life. He began to question everything he had ever learnt- from when he was five until now. Like, why were blueberries so damn expensive? Had they always been this way? Was it because they grew in a location not within city?
It was nice to be warm again, he thought to himself as he made his way into the gymnasium. Now with the events of Cylus long behind him, but the recent inheritances and cataclysmic events of the Pirate attacks still very much on his mind, he was glad to simply enjoy a warm trial...

Kotton took another puff from his pipe. He had yet to feel anything. In hindsight, this was a rookie move he wouldn’t have made had he not also been drinking. Everyone who was a veteran in the affairs of drug use understood that time was your friend, not your enemy, and the fact...
Something was happening. Ulric could feel it in the back of his thoughts and his gut. He could feel something coming. He just didn't know what it was. He was beginning to feel like he had felt before he died, before Etzos, and before he'd even met Corvus. He found himself visiting...

Not being able to hear had never been too much of a hindrance for Kotton. He always liked to think of it as an extra challenge. What he did not know could not hurt him after all. Because he didn’t know what a lute sounded like, he didn’t desire to hear it. Because he did not know...

When the candle was lit, its glow gave off the perfect ambience for his creativity. It was always only slightly scented. Too much and it would make his head hurt, too little and his imaginative edge would quickly begin to wane. He needed the right amount of inspiration via...
Sooner or later he was destined to end up in the fighting ring again. He knew it. He felt it. On the forty fifth of Ymiden after the relief efforts had begun to slow, Ulric spent the trial at the Proving Grounds working through his turmoil by swinging his sword at the training...
A gentle breeze migrated through the crowd that was gathered in the Glass Temple. People from all walks had come to pray and honor whatever Immortal they held close to their hearts in the few trials since the temple had been cleaned after the ransacking. Unlike most crowded...
