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....

Only a few more metres before Kotton and the unconscious boy over his shoulders stood at the base of the stepsinto his house. He didn’t care to ascend them. Rather, he chose to set down his fallen companion before falling into a heap beside him. His arms burned and his legs...

Kotton awoke with a start, scrambling among the various fabrics and cloth accosting him blamed by his blankets. He tossed and turned, wrestling with the material as if it were an alligator, its massive jaws clamped tightly shut against his legs. Finally the blanket conceded and...
Saun was the hottest season of the arc with temperatures that were often unbearable to work in. It wasn’t quite as bad on the beach outside the city where the son of Ziell lived. There was always a light breeze coming from the...

Saun 3, Arc 724
When Doran had first arrived on Scalvoris, he had lived in one of the Knight Rest’s suites for a while. Even now that he had a house of his own on the island, he still returned to the Knight’s...

The trek it took for Kotton to emerge from his spot in front of the Knight’s Rest Inn and Tavern to the Greystone Tea House was one that gave him ample time to think about the remaining plans he had for the rest of the day.
And there was nothing. No tricks stashed up any...

The Siren’s Embrace, a brothel found in the middle region of the homely (or not so homely) town of Almund. Kotton had learnt a thing or two about this part of Scalvoris but didn’t want to formulate any opinions before he had a look at the district himself.
Maxine rubbed at her hands. Her nerves were like wildfire in her veins. They had been since they arrived in Scalvoris, but worse now that she was standing across the street from this particular door. Her irritation grew. She had...

So much had happened since the last several trials. Kotton had found himself out of food and with no additional money to purchase anything other than basic cabbage and cans of lentils. Spirit had run away, though not for the first time, entering Kogtton into a state of panic he...

It was rather late, yet Kotton found himself wide awake and staring out at the streets of the city. Things had become rather stressful for him the last few days. Things had gotten out of hand at the medical office a few too many times and one of those times had almost cost him...

Kotton grazed the bottle of the bowl with his tongue; glorious flavours washing throughout his mouth. And down it went, better than the sting of alcohol at the back of his throat. Much better.
He had just finished attempting to make an ethnic sauce of sorts. He had utilised his...

Kotton had stayed an extra trial beside his dead mother's bedside. He had coiled himself into a foetal position against the two chairs that were positioned against the farside of the wall. His sleep had been uncomfortable and routinely interrupted, but he steadfast to his duty...

Try as he might, Kotton was never good with words. When it came to speaking to someone, he was a mess. He wasn’t a very social person to begin with and having to converse with just about anyone sent him spiralling into somewhat of a mild panic. It didn’t help with his lisp-...
The chill in the air began gathering as Vhalar was giving way to the onset of Zi'da. It technically was still harvesting season, with crops coming in from around the island to support the population centers. But soon enough, the necessities of Winter would test their stores, perhaps more sorel than...

Always down for a challenge, a young alcoholic with the mixed blood of an Eidisi, a Biqaj and Human, was morally driven short of any pride. This trial was a trial meant for drinking and celebration. It was custom for consumption to begin at the cusp of dawn and continue...

The sun had set long ago, and it gave way to the insurgence of the moon. If Kotton could, he would document the celestial shapes that transpired during the transition, but unfortunately, his vision and attentiveness wasn’t so keen and he was certain he was underestimating the...

It was hot this afternoon. Dangerously hot. People were coming into the clinic left and right complaining about weakness, dizziness and nausea. The likely culprit for these symptoms was heat stroke, a condition categorised by the overheating of the body. It varied between races...

The sky was too dark, far too clouded and unnecessarily pitched a shade darker than what was needed. Kotton peered through his curtains at the sky and scoffed, sighed, huffed, each exhalation measured with nothing but disappointment. He hated being caught indoors, much less in...

The sky was the perfect reflection of the ocean, a cerulean blue that made even the most masterful of sailors double take as to where they were going. Had the sky finally melded with the sea?
Kotton’s limbs were limp as his eyes stole all the muscles he owned dashing left to...

Kotton scraped a brush through Spirit's matted fur. Once. Twice. Three times before she let out a pained yelp.
I'm sorry girl, your hair is just so tangled. He tried using one hand to hold the roots in place so it wouldn't be as if he were ripping her hair out of her skin,...

The steps up to the clinic's front doors always made Kotton slip. And it wasn't because they were icy. It was because they had been constructed with the petty desire to make the anyone fall. It was a choice the construction workers made that probably gave them absolutely joy and...

A young, partially deaf man had entered the plane of higher thought and innovation. He swam through fallacious waves akin to those of an oceans’, gradually taking physical form into a mindscape he hadn’t touched in several trials. Lately, his soul had only the strength to stand...

Seeking out Kura when he found need for her was easier than most others. They all shared a scar, something almost like a Fracture Scar of legends, that intertwined them in some way; when he focused, when he wanted to find her, it was almost like he could simply walk in...
