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....

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...

Want some ginger? Faith held out a dried slice of ginger with a grin. She knew that ginger was one of those food stuffs which was not a proper food stuff at all, in his eyes. Along with sprouts and cucumber sandwiches, two things which...
The weather was pleasantly calm, a trial that didn't fall into either hot or cold. It was a quiet, normal trial just like any other. And just like on any other trial Aqihlih was expected to learn, she was starting to get annoyed. Come...
Deep amber eyes, almost wolf like in nature, skirted across the dark streets of the town. It was rare for a cloudy in Saun to be moonless given the heat, but as luck would have it tonight was subject to an unnaturally heavy cloud cover,...
It was hot, disgustingly hot, as Kali moved quickly through the streets of Scalvoris Town with bare feet warming dangerously on the cobblestones. In her hand she held an envelope, delicate in its fine design and fancy paper....
Oh! There you are, you beautiful child! There was no escape, Katie had more or less pounced on Padraig straight after he'd walked in the door. First, of course, was the compulsory hug and the ritual deposit of lipstick on both his...

Thirty trills, if that. It might have been less. She had been out of her room for thirty trills before Katie pounced on her. To be fair, it was something of a...

Kura adjusted her Nights Glow glasses as she stepped down the railing of the ship, her pack slung over her shoulder. It was still light out, enough that all the glassed did was tint everything...
In the handful of ten-trials Pash had been playing music at Cally’s, he’d never once been nervous. It was simple, really, in his opinion—fading into the background and providing a musically pleasing dining experience for anyone who wanted to spend new and taste Jo’get’s creative...
The woman sighed heavily, her eyes glazed over slightly. The Biqaj was anything but happy right now, a slight bubble of anger rising up in her chest. All she wanted was a little work, but no, if people were going to go to a healer they were going to go an expensive High Quality...
Rain pattered on the roof overhead and danced down the windows, and yet somehow the water had not brought any relief to the searing heat that still baked the whole Island even near the merciful end of Saun. Steam rose from the...

just after this happens Faith was sitting up in their bed, knees pulled up and a book on her legs. Padraig was asleep next to her, his arm around her and she looked down at him and watched. Just watched, for a few bits. His eyes moved...

Anos stopped short in front of the building. His horse snorted, and tried to keep going, but Anos yanked back hard on the bridle.
Apparently the horse didn't like that much, and bucked, throwing Anos off. By some stroke of luck, he landed on his feet, and stared up at the horse....

From Victor Amielle’s research notes:
The inhabitants of this island are unusually superstitious. They believe that Scalvoris is full of lost souls, especially during the season of Saun, and they set an empty place setting...

83 Ymiden, 717, mid-trial
The developing trial took on new meaning for the dark-haired woman, as her natural tendency toward humility prevented her from skipping down the street in joy. She had left the porch of her home to tend to...
Leon walked down a dirt path in Scalvoris Town. He glanced at various shops and buildings intently, making sure he didn't miss his destination. This certainly earned odd gazes from the bystanders in town. Leon paid no mind though, in fact, he didn't even notice! He was in his...
Vince roamed the streets of Scalvoris town with the thought of earning some coin the easy way, surely capturing a silly thief or two wouldn't be too hard especially if they aren't known for violence. It was probably just some kid roaming around and...

This would make it official. He'd finally reclaimed all his belongings; his tent, his tools, everything he needed to make it on his own once more in the wilderness beyond. He had his companions. Jasper, Greyhide and Malice would...
She thought her thirst was overpowering, if she was feeling the need to be dramatic, which she had. It was truthfully more of a constant nuisance brought on by Ymiden and its fight to turn her into a husk. But there was a streak of silver in...
Kali stood in front of the large whimsically shaped building, distractedly tapping her fingers along the rusty coloured wood of her short bow. She had heard about the upcoming Ilaren trials and how people could catch a little coin by offering to work for some of the event,...
That morning, they'd been getting things ready for Cyrus and Katie's new house, painting the kitchen and chatting and he'd told her about his charter studies for the next season. The painting had needed to be put on hold as he...

There was no doubting it, they were busy. They were, Faith knew, too busy and things were reaching boiling point for them both. Not with each other, but just with things generally. The restaurant was booming and it occurred to her that...

This paint is stinky, Faith said, wrinkling her nose. The house next door to theirs was now also theirs and was more or less ready for Cyrus and Katie to move into. They had painted it and thrown open all the windows to get rid of the...
