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!
We're starting a little something different, somewhat in the spirit of the NaNoWriMo, since we're a writing site it seems appropriate to take the opportunity to motivate each other to have some fun and earn some medals by starting and completing...

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....

It cut golden squares across the floor and table, creeping up to his fingers and quill, which tapped now in a frenetic click-click, click-click . Blots of ink clung to the parchment, trembling.
The sun light was honestly starting to get real annoying at this point. It was painful and annoying and made all of Fox Glove's jobs so much harder. So, instead of risking the idea of being caught, captured, and taken to jail, Laurel...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=7283 36th Zi'da 717 Faith looked up as Arlo walked in to Cally's - the restaurant she owned which funded the charity work she was more and more heavily involved in. The young woman was sitting in the main restaurant, which was not currently open, but the...

The gifts for Arlo were really coming along and Faith was pleased. What gave her even more pleasure, of course, was the fact that Padraig was feeling so much better that he was returning to work. The next trial, they were going to go...

Common Speech
Xanthean Speech
Qit was still avoiding the central areas of Scalvoris Town, lingering outside the wooden walls as the sky began to brighten the morning. There were still a few lingering wagons around the outside...

It had been twenty trials since their bonds and marks, Immortal granted means of contact and magical means of communication, had all stopped working. He wouldn't have gone without those in place, Faith knew and, frankly, she would...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=4996 28th Zi'da, 717 Yestertrial, Faith had started on the chest she was making for Arlo, to store the actual gifts she was giving him in. Today, her and Tina were sitting in the living room, sewing. Faith looked better than she had since Padraig left, not...

Vega was locked in the en-suite bathroom in the Knights Rest Inn where she and Arlo were staying. She'd locked herself in there, in fairness, because they were Going Out On A Date, which made her nervous in ways she had...

40th of Zi'da, arc 717
A hero's life is a rough one, to say the least, but it isn't one Aeon regretted leading. He got to choose what he would become, and if he was asked, he would certainly say he was proud of ending up in a tavern in...

12th of Vhalar.
The deep wounds in his left arm throbbed as he cut another strip of rope and used it to hogtie the last Oh-Deer carcass, stringing the seven of them together in a long train side-by-side. Traveller nudged him gently but he firmly...
An average pregnancy Faith said, with a smile, last two hundred and eighty trials exactly. So, we split it into twenty eight ten-trials with the women who come in to the Order. She placed a hand protectively over her swollen stomach...
31st of Vhalar, Arc 717
I finally met the elusive Professor Migh Gir. Readers of last season’s diary (I assume that future generations will be interested in my life due to my fame as an explorer) will probably remember that I was already supposed...

The woman in the dress shop had told her about this place and Vega had followed her directions and then got here. This was ridiculous. This was Arlo she was fretting about. But it wasn't that, it was Arlo and her...

10th Saun, 717
Ah Chrien’s night, was there a sweeter time of year? It was perhaps the only day in the Scalvoran calendar where it was not just socially acceptable for a person to play a harmless prank upon another but...

Since she'd turned up at his camp to ask for help, Faith had stayed in touch with Arlo and had made sure to tell him when Padraig returned home safely. She'd been more than grateful for his help and, this trial, they'd arranged to meet,...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=6232 27th Zi'da, 717
After Padraig had arrived home, Faith had to admit that she felt better. Emotionally, of course, that went without saying, but physically too. She'd slept more soundly than she had since he'd left and, whilst she continued to feel...
30th Zi'da 717 We never did work out the appropriate unit of measurement for fussing, do you recall? Faith asked as they made their way down the corridor to the classroom where he was teaching medical students. Her medical students, come to that, though she didn't say it. Whatever it is, you are in...

It was freezing. Cold weather reigned in Zi'da and it was no exception in Scalvoris. Kazimir was shivering fiercely. He only had a large bag on his back holding some artists supplies, the only thing he had that might help him make money. Except, he couldn't paint with how...
Faith had an appointment in the Order of the Adunih that afternoon. It was her regular check up with Galena on the progression of her pregnancy. She made her way there, walking with Cyrus and Katie. Padraig's grandfather had insisted on coming to each and every check up, not...

Technically, Faith said to Katie, sitting in the living room and surrounded by books and parchments, technically, I am not breaking any rules. Katie looked at her and said nothing, but her gaze was impassive and it was quite obvious...
Tracking animals through the woods was not entirely so dissimilar from tracking persons through the utopian cities they constructed for themselves. Both left tracks that could only be discerned by those who knew where to look, or...
How quickly day turned to night. How quickly the brilliant power of the greater luminary body was snuffed out by the bickering lunar forms above. It was the cyclical nature of time that everything that once had been bright and cheery...
It was still taking Noth some time to grow accustomed to the relative mood surrounding the island country of Scalvoris. It was true that there were some parts of the island that reminded him quite handily of his home, and they made him...
