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....

Time doesn’t matter to me, so just let me know. I’m also happy to move the date. I’m … really flexible. I thought about drinking a beer at the Four in Hand, but then … well, this amused me more. Teehee. Beer anytime, though. Seriously.
Trials ago, Pash had promised a drink, though...
”Will it work? Honestly, I have no idea. But I need to figure something out. The oh-deer won’t last forever and you can’t be the only one hunting whilst we’re out there.” Kali’rial said in answer to her bonded wolf as he questioned just exactly what she thought she was doing....
Studying, in Kali'rial's mind, had to be the truest test of discipline and dedication. The Sev'ryn had left Peytrs Pots & Potions with a pack full of stuff and a head full of information. When she had returned to the sloop, the brunette had spread herself out on the...

10th of Saun, 717.
Attempting to start their previous business together - which he still had the contract for, a fairly decent plot of abandoned land on the outskirts of Andaris - had been pretty damn exciting, he had to admit. He'd never had his own...
Saun had been vividly hot that Trial for those out in the open weather, Enrick had to often use dunk his shirt in the water because of the heat. What brief relief that provided quickly faded though as it proved...
Qit'ria plodded along, making her way east toward Scalvoris Town after a long, frustrating morning. She had been trying to hunt something, anything, and that damnable creature that kept haunting her ruined it at every...
10th of Vhalar, Arc 717
At the beginning of Vhalar Alison Jeeve, Defier and Associate Professor of History and Theory of Magic at the Institute of Metaphysics in Scalvoris, had suddenly decided to play the part of a torturer. Neither Victor Amielle nor any of the other assistant researchers knew...
34th of Ymiden, Arc 717
Arwel was very much a busybody whenever he was anywhere with books. Journal out, he'd scribble notes surrounded by books on all sides, reading and examining, sketching drawings of items of interest and more.
Today was no different, of course, but in this case, he was so...
Throughout her life, Faith had always been focused on needs and wants and desires. Not her own, the idea of focusing on those or even acknowledging them was something which was barely an arc old. Padraig had taught her that;...
If hunting in Scalvoris - no scrap that - if living in Scalvoris had taught Kali anything, it was to expect the dangerously unexpected and that healers weren't much for adventuring. Not to mention herself and the Biqaj were about to set sail all on their own, well there...

I have absolutely no idea what you are saying to me right now, Faith said with a grin as he breathed in. He was, there was no doubt in her mind, adorable when he was passionate about things which he was learning about. I mean, let me...

The ocean wasn't something Nir'wei had seen a lot of, in his childhood. Now he'd seen more than enough of it to last a lifetime. He'd spent his fair share of time on Ivorian, an island with surprisingly little beach, and Rynmere too,...

Location: Kura's House, Scalvoris Town
Kura let a deep breath and drew back on her bow string until the fletching of the arrow was touching her cheek. Her aim was still steady, but she was starting to wear out fast in...
Funnily enough, Scalvoris town was a whole lot nicer than it was in the stories Flint’s father used to tell him. Once a haven for pirates, Scalvoris was a hub of criminal activity and danger, with merchants reluctant to come close to the place. Now, thanks to the work of The Elements, Scalvoris was...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=5297 1st Vhalar 717
They'd been awake early this morning to take part in the tradition here on Scalvoris. It was the start of the Immortals Festival and all the shops were shut for an eight trial period after noon today, so Faith had a shopping list of...

Like the notation for addition, subtraction,division or multiplication in a written sum given by a maths tutor near an arc ago,...
40th of Saun, Arc 717
From Victor Amielle’s diary:
There is something about being a researcher that does not satisfy me completely. Upon arriving on Scalvoris I took up a job at the Institute of Metaphysics in order to find out more about my own...

39th Saun, 717
I'm just saying that Quincy, one of my students, he's been on this island all his life and his family have been for generations. Faith was quite content, walking with Padraig as the pair of them made their way to the...
It was the unfamiliar lack of ocean sounds that roused her at first, the gentle crashing of the waves on the side of The Muse and the seabirds absent in their sonata. Had they sailed away from the docks? Perhaps the seafaring Biqaj had moved them out...

Rey'na stepped outside of the tavern, finally fresh and clean. Travelling constantly, then trapped in a dungeon, then travelling again left Rey'na feeling dirty. She had been cleaned when she went to see Ymiden, but that was it. Even...

It felt better, more honest and correct that she had told her employees about her pregnancy. Once the first seven ten-trials were over there was much less risk of anything going wrong and they were happy to tell people. It was good to...
Kali'rial grinned like a lunatic as she pounded along the dirt tracks of the grove, her heart beating wildly and fresh amber eyes burning with delight. Flashes of grey and tan fur burst through the foliage beside her, Sarkis' pink...
