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....

I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.

The animals of Scalvoris had been infected with a strange fungus infection in their paws. Farmers were confounded and academics left scratching their heads. Faith had heard about it, but she and Padraig had decided that now was the...

She didn't really know why she was nervous, yet she was. These people were her employees, but it had become more than that since they opened. In the seasons since she had opened these doors, Cally's had flourished and it had done so...
As Padraig would return from his work he would find the house to feel different. The door would open before him but he would not be greeted by the smell of something delicious cooking in the kitchen, no call of greeting from his...

Kali wasn't really sure anymore, of much of anything. She had come to Scalvoris on a mission, a bigger purpose in life, and had somehow managed to get herself tangled up with dancing and drinking and Immortal's...

Scalvoris Town
1st Vhalar, 717
If there was one thing that could be said about Scalvoris Town in the last arc, it was that the city had become increasingly beautiful. The influx of people from foreign ports had bought a wealth of art and culture...

There had been a time when she simply would not have been able to consider doing this, she realised as she handed out the last of the papers she'd graded. There were twenty students in her class, she stood in front of them and she spoke....
Curiosity may have killed the cat but it didn’t seem to stop Niv from wondering into just about any place that caught her interest. How else was she supposed to learn about how the people of this city did things. She could simply ask...
Being a student again after all these arcs feel strange. I led expeditions. I guarded caravans on their way through the desert. I spent entire seasons in the wilderness. To lose that independence...
18th Cylus 717
Atashi and Anos left the small room, Anos glumly returning the purses. Atashi was right, he really should be more lawful. He didn't know what had got into him- he was normally more of a stickler for the rules.
Together, Atashi and he tied up the attackers, leaving them neatly...
The scalpel was sharp as it bit into the crystals forming her body. She had no clue why crystal yielded so easily, but the sharp edge eagerly sliced into her hand as if it had been made of flesh all along. The young girl screamed and...
Once he'd decided that he would commemorate each he could of all the birth-trials Faith had missed since the one she'd been born, Padraig had been resolved to do it, and do it well. He hadn't anticipated however the extent of the...

Timestamp: 57th of Ymiden
Location: Padraith's house
Kura was a curious sort, and she'd been able to resist most of the time she'd been staying with them. But with her moving soon, her curiosity got the better of her and she found herself standing...

As a rule, Padraig didn't particularly have a sweet tooth ~ he much preferred savory things and he enjoyed a dessert where there was a zing or touch of citrus or bitter. Lime, lemon, those kinds of things were much more his taste than...
It was hot. Not just the hot that Saun constantly delivered trial after cursed trial, but even more so it seemed after the pleasant reprieve of Soul's Night. The cooler evening had made it feel like the season was coming to an end, when...
The start of the trial had been pleasant, or rather, pleasant by Saun standards with the unbearable heat of the dual suns burning their wretched way across the land. Kali'rial had spent the morning hunting and walking with Nir'wei, and the rest of it had been spent...

This was Pash's boat, The Muse . Faith had agreed to help him to get some things for growing started on his boat, and so she'd arranged to meet him there. Of course, she had her Domain Bag hung over her shoulder and she made her way down...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=334&image_id=9392 43rd Trial of Ymiden in the arc 717
Baya stared around as the soft whispers of conversations floated as background noise not unlike the incessant chatter of the Ymiden bugs. And of course, though she entered behind two other big ones none of the...

24th Saun, 717 Nobody understands another's sorrow,
and nobody another's joy
Even for her, this was the worst part of the job. Faith had long since got to the point where she could try to save a life whilst not noticing that the woman she was...

Scalvoris Town Beaches
17th Saun, 717
“And you're sure that you saw them here?”
The light of the sun never faded during Saun, but that didn't mean that the people of Scalvoris never slept. Generally speaking Tio didn't like the increase in light...
He'd been to Cally's that morning, had shown his face at the university to meet with a student in his office. But for the most part, Padraig had remained close to home while Faith was out, going about her own trial in the usual way. He couldn't have convinced her to do any...
