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....

His hunger was insistent, but that didn't take from the fact that he was extremely happy to have found a place that could quell the anger in his stomach. He had just pulled down on the restaurant's front door handle, and lo and behold, was immediately...
After partaking in a special meditative technique called ‘mantra meditation’, Kotton felt much better than he had upon first walking into his house. His nose had stopped bleeding and his heart rate had slowed from its nasty quick pace that had been...

'It is as though I am a bird whose wings have been clipped; flayed from her body by dirty hands. I am sitting idly, inspecting all those who seem to be able to fly around me. I look at them with envy, but I can do nothing but watch, for I cannot fly. What is a bird’s purpose if...

A young man’s eyes glazed over, multi-coloured irises churning in the heat of anticipation. The moon was nonexistent amongst the waking sky, but it was still there, and it was coursing energy into those who relied on it for whatever purpose. A smirk had subconsciously slid onto...

The library again- a heavenly atmosphere that offered nothing short of calm and tranquillity. The ambience was just as it had ever been; candles set aflame, adorning the sills of windows stained with glass that came close to rivalling the Glass Temple. Pictures of elderly men...
Held on the 13th of Saun, this competition will test the strength of all participants in various ways. Those who win glory through miraculous displays of raw strength will be rewarded with gold, favors, and possibly a...

The sky held scars. They were thick jagged stretches of lights that would appear and disappear within seconds of each other only offering flashes of light that illuminated the otherwise stygian atmosphere.
Kotton was reaching for the stars that surrounded him, trying to lure...

Confidence was like beauty- it was held all in the eye of the beholder. Someone’s confidence could be simply them asking to try a particular flavour of ice cream whilst another’s confidence could be inquiry a lovely lady about the prospects of courtship. Someone’s confidence may...

There was a man sitting in a dark room. The only light source was of an ominous red glow. It came from the flame of a singular candle that wavered ever so slightly amidst a stagnant room. The only current of air flowing throughout the room was due to the man’s constant, slow...

In honour of another Scalvoris end of arc tradition, Kotton had gone out of his way to purchase a few valuable items. He knew he should have used the money to purchase gifts for others, as was the premise of the tradition, but he had already adopted the custom of the day of...

It had been a few days. A few days that were measured in weeks, or so it had felt to Kotton. He had expended an exorbitant amount of energy over the course of the last few days twiddling his thumbs and watching with an intense gaze at the practice of various bartenders. He had...

Death is inevitable and so are the maggots that creep from out of the woodwork to embellish themselves against the rot and decay. For many, death reaps frustration and causes those who become frustrated to feel like they are a pot of chili spurting in high heat with the...
Kotton had been out in the Sweetwine Forest to practice using a double edged dagger. It was the best place he had come up with: excluded from society where no one would be at risk of getting hurt, but also where no one could see him fail and fail again in...
Kotton waited with the remaining patience he had until Eustoria, his mentor in art, blessedly decided to speak up in regards to the question he had most recently asked. He had just declared his need for help. What should I do next? was what he had inquired...
Kotton had spent the last hour casually watching an artist at work. And finally, nearing the beginning of the second hour she had conceded and gave him her name. She even began to teach him a thing or two about art, particularly in the style of drawing...
I don't undewstand what you mean, Kotton admitted, dropping his folded arms so they laid loosely at his sides. He had been studying this stranger of a woman and how she drew spectacular works of art. He had experienced an emotional mountain, up hill and...

Sometimes it felt like Kotton had a case of ‘mind knives’. It was like his brain was being treated by being stabbed. One, two, three too many times. Whilst his mind was wounded, his heart persisted, but it would only allow him so much time. That’s what boredom felt like to him,...

Kotton knew very little about U’frek. He was hardly aware that he was an immortal who so vigorously respected navigation and… water? Kotton could understand the former, and he was always wishing to brush up on his desire to memorise and thus comprehend the placement of the...

Lightning crackled near and thunder spooked with even closer vicinity. It frightened the creature they rode and forced them to experience bucking, something Kotton had learnt from his acquaintance/aunt/family friend. But that could be looked at during a time that wasn’t...
After closing and locking the front door to his home, Kotton trekked across the outer portion of Scalvoris and traversed parallelly toward the stables he had spent hours talking to and learning from an artist who was masterful at drawing. With confidence, he marched right...

The young man redirected his attention back to his story. He brandished a charcoal stick instead of a quill since his inkwell was near to being empty and he presently had no finances to refill it. He moved his hand against the blank piece of paper available to him and listened...

It was a marvellous morning. The sun was at the cusp of transitioning into a majestic colour of ruby-maroon, if not slightly bordering on the line of lipstick red. He had seen so many lovely women wearing the exact shade but had unfortunately said nothing other than a soft...
Well, I can honestly say I never thought we'd be here.
Maxine sat in the pew in the center of the Glass Temple. Her arms were extended along the back of the seat in a familiar way as though she'd sat in its likeness once before...somewhere not of this plane. The...
