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!

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. You'll note that there are now separate...

Please Note: For a full island link map please see this thread in the OOC forum. Thank you!
When most people hear Scalvoris, they think of the island as a whole. Technically, it is actually the name of the first and largest town, though this has come to be called Scalvoris Proper, or Scalvoris...
It was late at night when Eternity woke up. It was one of those nights where the time of day didn’t seem to affect the temperature at all. She was sweating all over which made the prospects of falling back asleep very bleak. She got to her feet and rubbed her eyes to wake herself up....
Winston had slept for 24 hours and then wished he could sleep for another 24 afterwards as his muscles screamed at him every time his moved. But it had been several trials now since the second...
As part of the knowledge exchange with Desnind, the University was sponsoring students to make contact with select individuals from that distant land. They would be given full accommodation by the University aboard the Flutterbus to relocate, in hopes that they'd share what they...
It was already fairly late in the morning when Eternity finally got done with her chores. She had been sent around town by her mother and was finally on her way back home. This was becoming a more regular occurrence since this was supposed to teach her more about responsibility....
Eternity was outside one summer morning enjoying what was a surprisingly strong breeze that all but eliminated the scorching heat from reaching her body. The grass in the back yard felt divine, like a warm bed that heated her just enough to balance out the chill of the wind. She was...
Eternity opened her eyes and the blazing sun greeted her. There was that one very slim gap in her curtains that just so happened to let the sunlight shine right on the girl’s face. It was nice at first but then she began to dream of fire and that jolted her awake. She breathed heavily...
It was late in the afternoon, bordering on the evening, and Eternity was sitting in a restaurant across from her date. His name was Charles and he held the menu up in front of him. He had an expression that was a mix between a smile and exasperation. He looked to Eternity who hadn’t...
Excuse me, but what? Dead birds falling out of the sky? Elisabeth had been on the beach meditating when the pair of Haven's guards found her. Silk had just returned from Scalvoris Town with Balder, where both had business to attend to, and immediately found Haven's young...

Break a leg, but don't break that egg!
The cooking arena was a-buzz with reporters, contestants and members of the audience. The events with the street kids had set a fire under the hearts of the crowds and event organisers alike and Winston had somehow become...
Bread was challenging. There were SO many things you had to get right if you wanted the perfect loaf. Using cheap flour or yeast will get you flat loaf regardless of your technique.
This being so, Winston had decided to bake bread for his technical demonstration. This...
Leona had a hunch that her lost cub could be found on the main island of Scalvoris. She could feel it through the connection to Daia. When she asked if Vega and Doran would attend to her trip on the main island, she managed to convince them . So it was that Vega and Doran made...
As he wandered into the Glass Temple , Woe reflected on that idiosyncracy of Scalvoris spirituality. Why was it always glass, always lanterns, always with candles? There were repeated themes in the lore of Scalvoris that tempted his more curious nature to probe them. Was it...
The docks. It was easy for some to forget the horrors that had occurred there, but Elisabeth knew. Vega had mentioned the dock's collapse, and so had Darius. People she cared about had been affected by the event, which made it important to the young leader. But it wasn't in...
On yet another hot summer’s day Eternity was busy looking out of the window of her bedroom. She wondered what she would do with her time today however all she could manage to come up with was a sigh. She wanted to go outside but it was hot. It was the kind of heat where all she wanted...
Eternity sat on her small bed in the corner room of her home with an object in her hands. It was about the size of a fist and was made of wood and metal. It was a lock that she had foraged from a pile of garbage the other day. She only knew it was a lock because it had been loosely...
Eternity knelt on the ground in front of a large wooden door that stood as her only obstacle. She knew that sweets were right on the other side inside the top drawer of a dresser. She knew because she’d made sure to watch her mom put them there this very morning. Luckily Eternity’s...
The Bank of Scalvoris (Scalvoris Town Branch) sits pretty much in the middle of the town. One of the strange things about Scalvoris Town is the very strange mis-match of buildings which make up the place. Very rarely are there two buildings which look alike and the locals seem to embrace the lack...
The cold nights of Cylus were over. Slowly but surely warmth was beginning to creep back into the days, and as the first of the flowers began to bloom, so too did the citizens of Scalvoris Town start to gather outside once...
22nd Ashan, 722
Faith sat in the small coffee house where they had met and she sipped her drink, thoughtfully, as she watched Woe reading the notes she had handed him. Things were moving apace in Eureka and she had a lot to work out; but Woe might be able to provide her with another piece of the...
This thread is intended to be a follow-up of Past, Present, Future . The two threads are exactly one arc apart.
Arc 722, 18th of Cylus
Darius awoke to the sound of a cockerel.
It wasn't as familiar a sound as it once had been, for there were not many such birds near his home within the walled...
The idea that he might be considered a Chef was an odd one. Winston loved to cooked and create in general, but 'a chef' he was not. Nonetheless, he saw the competition and simply could not resist coming to look around. He has just been looking at the wide range of potential...
The search for Enri von Smooglenuff had taken Doran much longer than he had expected. Almost an arc before, to that very trial, Qylios had given him a task. She wished to understand how her nephew had been involved in the events that had led up to the Forging. At first, he had...
Woe thought it best that he meet up with Doran later in the trial, after his gift for the Devout had changed hands. If their objective was to investigate the missing ghosts of the Le Fleur sisters, then it'd best be done after sundown, or near enough. Woe didn't know if...
30th Saun, 720
Are you sure? Faith asked Nir'wei. She had to get back, she knew she did. But she didn't want to leave him in any trouble. I can send more food, supplies if needed. We can use the Eclipse Portals as we need them too. Faith knew that there was a massive job here and she felt bad for...
