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....

This was the place. Kura had informed him as much, though he'd not been able to find it easily. Scalvoris Town was perhaps the only place on the island of any structural complexity, with a much larger density of people strewn about through the capital. There were homes and...
There can be no denying that Scalvoris is an interesting place; there are pirates in every alley, monsters roaming free in the wilderness, and even an island where the Immortals themselves are said to talk to visitors. It's really no surprise that a lot of interesting things...
Inspiration had lately been fleeting, it was true. Pash had sailed through all the darkness of Cylus, alone in the quiet under the stars, to even reach Scalvoris in the first place. To what end? Here at what felt to some to be the edge of the known world, what was he even here for?...
The Knight's Rest Inn & Tavern
26th Ymiden, 717
Night
“I swear to yer, I'm tellin’ the truth!”
As it was most nights, the Knight’s Rest tavern was packed to the brim with people of all different ages and races swigging down drinks and chatting loudly to their friends about the events of their...
When it came to the Elements, or any other form of law enforcement for that matter, Tio had a simple policy; stay well clear. Even when he wasn't committing any crimes he always thought it best to stay as far under the radar as possible, and so normally...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=8288 52nd Ymiden, 717 Faith was in the middle of her regular volunteer shifts in the Order. Frankly, she was glad of the space and time where there wasn't anyone talking to her about what she should do, when she should do it, how she should do it and why...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=5259 25th Ymiden, 717 Hey Pash, Trudi said, leaning on his and resting her head on his shoulder. She was a truly dreadful flirt and she enjoyed flirting with Pash nearly as much as she enjoyed flirting with... every other man and half the women who came in...
She had arrived early, of course. Faith would have been earlier still but Padraig had pointed out that the caretakers didn't open the building at the time she was ready to leave. So, she'd just checked that she had everything she...

There were few feelings as irritating as anxiety.
Although it clouded your head, anger could lend strength to your punches. In a similar vein fear could add an extra spring to your step or alert you to danger. But anxiety? No, that never...

Scalvoris Campus, classroom
It hadn’t been long since he’d arrived at Scalvoris, and the young mage had already found his way to an inn in a town a couple of trials away from this one, and to this Campus. Sure, he’d been...

Location: Scalvoris Council Offices
Kura hadn't expected to find herself searching for her final political prospect so fast, much less to be searching in the council offices themselves. However, she had gotten word...
The tree was large enough and strange enough to remind Baya of home. Nothing the Tunawa had seen in Scalvoris so far had caught her attention like the tree did or the animals that seemed to flock around it. One animal in particular had caught Bayas attention, if only...
Kali browsed the markets in the central square casually, perusing the wares with what could be at a first glance a nonchalant face. In fact, she was looking purposefully for specific items. Since the hunt on the 5th,...

The soft break of the morning sun over Scalvoris was beautiful. Bright and warm, lighting up the sky with a sort of green blue and pink haze, a scatter of fluffy clouds merrily filling the sky. Birds sang and aye-aye scurried,...
There had been darkness and cold. A bit of sun. Tornadoes. Ice. And finally—finally!—warmth. The season felt like it had actually turned, with that warmth creeping into the soil to begin welcoming green things to grow up towards the suns again.

following this Faith was frantic.
Faith didn't, as a rule, do frantic. She did disciplined, controlled, calm. It was an arc ago this trial that she had first been allowed out to meet free people and in that time she had experienced...

They were getting married.
Faith had never been busier than she was right now, and having been a slave in the slave school of Athart meant that every waking trill was accounted for and sleep, when it was allowed, was in patches of...
“If you need anything else just ask, okay sweetie.” The kind waitress replied to Niv as she set down a small pile of Chemistry books on the small table Niv occupied.
“Yes yes, Dank you so much.” Niv shot back a...
If there was one thing that could be said about Kali'rial, it certainly wasn't a compliment about her deep religious dedication. In fact, as a Sev'ryn it was not usual for worship in the temples around Idalos. Her people were more spiritually connected with...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=4993 10th Ymiden, 717 They had an evening together, which was rare. He was due home within the next break, although she knew that sometimes he got delayed in work. Still, Faith couldn't deny it, she was excited at the prospect of spending an evening of quiet...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=7283 51st Ashan 717 Cally's Restaurant was ready, she was sure that she had not missed anything at all and Faith could not be more pleased with everything. There was only one thing left, in fact, on her list and that was to find someone to provide elegant,...
