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!

20th of Cylus, Arc 718
Anticipation fizzled just beneath the mage’s skin as she finished setting her wavy locks into a manageable bun at the nape of her neck. A small mirror and washbasin were set on a table just inside the modest room she was readying herself in. These small private rooms within...
The Scalvoris Town Council Hall rests in the newly renovated home of a late resident of the town that left the building to the city after their death. As such, the sizable building is quite cozy in appearance despite its use in government affairs. The brick exterior...

Qit'ria was slumped against a wall, in the dark alley against some wooden building she didn't know. The sun was still a handful of breaks from rising, and the woman looked out across the road. She could see the open...

The Four in Hand
55th Zi'da, 717
It was, in Tio's opinion, the island's ability to work so smoothly when comprised of so many contradicting parts that made Scalvoris the great nation it was. In some places it was filled to the brim with culture,...
Lavana found herself on a desolate shore over run with debri scattered on the land scape and broken buildings as far as the eye could see. It was interesting more than disturbing, disruptive but not horrid, causality and death yes but also excitment and fun.
18th Cylus, 718
Arlo, wake up, she said and it was the tone of her voice, perhaps, which woke him but Vega was pleased that he did wake. Hard to tell though it was in the dark season, it was the middle of the night. By the time she'd finished speaking, she was up and pulling on her dress. There's...

Vega didn't know what to do.
Or, actually, that wasn't true. She didn't know how to do what she had to. The snow was falling, heavily, and it had been since the night before so she felt safer , but she'd wondered...
2nd of Cylus, Arc 718
Redwood Redoubt's gymnasium was fairly busy that day, with pairs of Flame Elements practicing together in the multitude of sparring rings. The sound of wooden practice weapons clinked and snapped loudly, echoing throughout the large wooden chamber. Sephira strode through the...
18th of Cylus, Arc 718
Sephira had arrived at the Water Troop command post early that morning with a feeling of dread growing in her gut. This was her last trial working with the water troops and it seemed that she was actually supposed to spend some time in the water today. With the cold of...
1st of Cylus, Arc 718
Tonight was the night Sephira would begin her training with the Flame Troops. She was nearly done with her initial time in each branch in the Elements and was growing closer to finally graduating to begin properly serving in the military. The thought of getting a taste of...

Are you sure they're asleep? Faith asked, quietly. She knew he was sure, she knew that they were if he said they were, she just needed to check. The crib where their children slept was there, in the corner of the room and Faith looked...

80 Zi'da, arc 717
Crennon looked once again, to be certain. The woman he was watching had all the indications of being the one they were waiting for. Dark of hair, pale of skin, meek of mannerisms as she strolled down the street,...
It was high noon in Scalvoris Town, not that many people could tell. The town was buried in a blanket of thick, heavy snow that was still falling. The town was in the midst of a blizzard, a particularly nasty one. The wind...

The knock on Kura's door was gentle, as was usual and when Kura opened it, there was Faith. Bundled up against the cold, even though she couldn't feel it, the young woman was very pregnant and getting moreso by the trial, it seemed. She...

Location: Kura's Office
Kura growled to herself as she looked over her map of Idalos. The two biggest concerns were the two regions they shared the Gates with, Rynmere and Viden. Academically, they were on pretty good...
She was sitting on the floor in the street as they walked by. What it was which made her pick them out, she either did not or did not tell. But, that trial, it was them she called. Please, wait! Joelle said, her voice gentle and...
It wasn't difficult to find Kura, at least not with Sarkis leading the way. The Sev'ryn had to almost jog to keep up with him as they moved through the streets of Scalvoris Town. The large grey wolf could sense her Velduris mark and was clearly following a very defined...
Lying quietly to the east just outside Scalvoris Town is Redwood Redoubt. The strange round building is carefully placed across a wide stream that flows in from the direction of Sweetwine Woods. This structure serves at the command post for the Flame Troops. The building is...
Serving as the command post of the Water Troops, the Gleamwater Sanctuary has clearly been designed to accommodate more aquatically inclined inhabitants. Although the entire building and nearby training arena sports stone walkways and bridges, the main courtyard has been...

Zi'da 74, 717 following this thread
Kashehino hopped down from the cart, alighting atop the snow, without so much as a footprint of course, and sniffed at Aye-Aye mouse Qit'ria. Not that she could actually smell anything. Again, the panther's face...
While Niv enjoyed being carefree, ever since she’d dropped out of the Viden academy she missed the flood of knowledge. Niv still occasionally read a book or two at the library or the scholars nook but it wasn’t the same. The tunawa wanted...
Caeli held the training gear in her hand, a battered and poorly made kite shield in one hand and a blunt sword in the other. It was the equipment she was supposed to use for training, to spare her real gear the damage that training...
Roland made his way through Scalvoris Town, singular of purpose. In his coat pocket was folded the paper that held the Odd Job of Appraisal of Rare Books from the Town Library. This was a favorable opportunity for two reasons. One, it would expand his...
40th of Zi'da, Arc 717 From Victor Amielle’s diary:
Originally I had not planned on staying on Scalvoris longer than a season or two. I wanted to study the fauna and flora of the island as well as get my Letter in History and Theory of Magic and then leave again, for Viden, my native Lysoria or...
77th of Zi'da Arc 717
Earlier in trial Sephira had made a point to check in at the Elements Hall to request training in anti-mage combat. She knew that her master’s killer was likely a Defiance mage, and she had never faced their magic in combat before. Any type of training she could get in...
