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!
The Hot Cycle has Ymiden (83 Trials) and then Saun (40 Trials) which are open for you to play. All new threads from June 1st 2023 - September 31st 2023 should be timestamped within one of those two seasons.

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....

The spoils of war have many different appearances, much like the wars themselves. Amaris could count their earlier venture of procuring a naginata as much that: a war of will. And while they would be content in saying they had won that...
For whatever reason they could not comprehend, Amaris was soon held fast in place by a number of things - anxiety, fear, doubt; it was becoming a growing list they'd rather not think of. With their mind relatively unoccupied with deciphering...

17th Cylus, 718
Scalvoris Town
A pall of unease hung over Scalvoris like a mist.
How long ago had it been now since the killings had started? An arc? More? Tio couldn't quite remember when he'd first heard about it, but with every season that...

On the last trial of Ashan, Peytr Lovan, one of the most renowned alchemists in all of Scalvoris, was just getting everything ready for the following season, going through his books and doing all kinds of important paperwork when the door was...
Nalin Marit
10th of Ashan of the 718th Arc
Common Common Sign Scalveen
Nalin blinked in the realization that they were actually at the Academy. He'd been that spaced out? That wasn't good. Sure he could attribute some of it to being deep in thought, but maybe he was still feeling the effects...

following every thread detailed in the first post here
It had been one hundred and twenty three trials since it began and Faith had been here every one of them. There was not a single trial missed. For the first six, she had stayed...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=4995 6th Ashan 718 It was quiet, Faith realised.
It had been trials since it had been quiet. Since it began, it had not been quiet but, as the sun sank into the sea the lack of noise, shouting, whistles blowing and all the other ambient sounds was deafening....

A library. Rowan had never been inside of a library before. If he was honest, he'd never expected to set foot inside of one either. Books weren't his thing at all and he certainly wasn't the sort to bury his nose in one. He'd had...
Faith loved it here, in the Scholars' Nook. Surrounded by books, by people she liked and respected and a good selection of tea. All in all, Faith felt very at home here. She'd just met with one of her students and the young woman had...
2nd of Ashan, Arc 718
The Element moved into what remained of the docks, her feet dragging with trepidation. Only a couple trials had passed since the events leading to this disaster. She walked with a bit of a limp and a fresh scar marked the right side of her face. Thanks to Faith’s efforts the...
Ashan 54 718, Evening
Location: On the way to Cally's
His mind had been racing ever since it almost happened. Not long after sundown earlier he was doing his usual, fraternizing with the locals as it was all part of his job. Yet the last lady he mingled with earlier had to be cut short of their...
1st of Ashan, Arc 718
Devin had arrived on Scalvoris just in time to witness a catastrophe of epic proportions. Whereas other people would have complained that their stay on the island was ruined (or pitied the poor, poor survivors), the thief just saw endless opportunities to increase his...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=535&image_id=13672 86th Ashan 718
A monkey. He'd heard of them in stories before but he hadn't expected to acquire one. After dealing with that weird tree in the Sweetwine Woods, he'd thought he was going to be walking away with more than a few things. He'd gained an...
It had been hard in Scalvoris in recent trials. The biting winds of Zida ensured that few left their homes, lest they wish to subject themselves to the hailstorms and biting winds. A number of injuries had already occurred across the island, and many more still would this season....
The rarity of seeing the mixed blood outdoors was being to wane, though they'd very successfully locked themselves away after the last visit from Volker. As much as they had attempted to get on the man's good side, they couldn't risk whatever that entailed for...
I think we are at the point where we can talk about numbers, Faith said to Alissa, her bodyguard and friend. Alissa knew that she didn't need to answer, just listen and then nod along here and there, making the odd noise of...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=348&image_id=9802 2nd Ashan 718 I understand, I do, but I really can't help you right now, Faith explained to the soul who stood there. No matter how many times she explained to the woman that she could not go in to the rubble and get her wedding ring, it did not seem to...
His first attempt at impersonating a fortune teller had been so successful that Devin had decided to come back the next trial (and the one after that). That idiot Genuvah had paid him five times more than he had asked for and actually believed him when he had told him that...
The night had passed in a blur of work. Survivors and victims pulled from the rubble, people treated for wounds and others taken to the field hospital - when they could be moved they went on to the Order itself, but there were still a...

She's just in the office, Skeet said to him as she walked with Padraig. Skeet was one of the Isonomia faction members and so they knew each other. She looked about fourteen but was much the same age as Faith, although she was very...
