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!

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....

The Four in a Hand Casino was to be tonight's attempt to record history. Timmond had only been on the island a short while and had very little luck finding locals willing to let him record their stories, for historical purposes, of course. He had hopes that...

After Lest We Forget .
Vhalar 23, Arc 722
It was already late in the evening when Doran finally returned from the Knight’s Rest Inn where he had enjoyed a wonderful dinner and tried to find out what the common citizens of the island thought of a...
Eternity woke up late in the afternoon since she didn’t have anything planned until the festivities started. She would have woken up later had she not slacked off on her preparation for the activities she had planned. She casually bit pieces off of a loaf of bread as she gathered her...
Scalvorian birthtrials were not known to be bursting with unbridled joy once the guest of honour came of age, but this one felt much more introspective than most.
In the wake of Yeva's death, and the grief that followed, Darius had...
Doran had arrived from Viden just a few trials before. While the temperatures in his home city alternated between cold, very cold and very, very cold, it was still quite warm here, and the weather was pleasant, in spite of the...
Many seasons had passed since Eternity started to dabble in small time thievery. It hadn’t been as easy a path as she’d thought it’d be but somehow, she had managed to skirt any major consequences of her hobby turned job. This was attributed to Eternity’s care in not committing any...
Kal was set up on the corner of the Scribe's Nook when Ibudo arrived on his little mouse mount. The poor tunawa could scarcely stay on top of the thing as it darted skittishly along the street. Yet made it to Kalortah he did, complete with his finger cymbals which were really...
As he wandered into the Glass Temple , Woe reflected on that idiosyncracy of Scalvoris spirituality. Why was it always glass, always lanterns, always with candles? There were repeated themes in the lore of Scalvoris that tempted his more curious...

After Unreliable Sources .
Ymiden 37, Arc 722
Doran had never been an animal person. If someone had a nice cat or dog, and their owner gave him permission to or wanted him to, he stroked them. He didn’t approve of animal cruelty in any way...
Leona had a hunch that her lost cub could be found on the main island of Scalvoris. She could feel it through the connection to Daia. When she asked if Vega and Doran would attend to her trip on the main...

After Shooting Stars .
Ymiden 37, Arc 722
Ymiden was hot on Scalvoris, but there was often a bit of wind coming from the nearby ocean, and thus Doran had decided that his meeting with a colleague of his, Professor Fridson, would take place...
Eternity wandered into a gymnasium one summer afternoon. She had never been in a gymnasium before but she had heard that it was a good place to get in shape. She was not fat by any means but her muscle mass was very lacking. If she was ever going to be a master thief she would need to...

Timestamp: 22nd of Saun, 722
Location: Scalvoris Town
Kura sighed to herself as she went over the reports on the strains that Saun was putting on the island. She hated the heat of the season, and really wanted nothing more than go back to Sweetwine,...
Books and More is a decent sized shop tucked away in an out of the way corner of Scalvoris Town. The area the shop is located in is clean, and well maintained, but as it is a bit off of the beaten path, few people go there unless they have business...

Break a leg, but don't break that egg!
/gallery/image/23005/medium The cooking arena was a-buzz with reporters, contestants and members of the audience. The events with the street kids had set a fire under the hearts of the crowds and event organisers alike...
Eternity sat in the viewing area of the proving grounds in the early morning. It was early in the morning which was the best time to get any training done if one wanted to avoid the heat. Eternity didn’t know how people survived training in the summer months especially if they were...
Doran enjoyed his work as the Dean of the Institute of Sciences at the Academy of Viden, and he also appreciated his status as a member of Viden’s aristocracy, but there was something that regularly pulled him back to Scalvoris....
Today was a day of celebration for most in the area. This was a day that they gave offerings of glass for the higher beings of the world by getting plastered and smashing glass. Eternity was no different, though she only drank one glass of beer. She wanted to be sober when everyone...
The pen on the parchment didn’t feel right . Jax tried doodling across the top of the sheet which usually worked, but it only confirmed for him that something was wrong. The faint scratching sound of the quill tip on paper was there, as was the dark black ink. The flow was...
“Last night was amazing,” Jax said between bites of blackberry pie.
Lucille laughed as she rolled out some dough. “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, but I have to ask,” she grinned at him sheepishly, “did something go wrong with Lara?”
After the events of last night, Eternity had thought that it was best to stick around in bed a little longer. A lot of the night was fuzzy. She remembered drinking, a LOT of drinking. The clink of coins against a bar counter. She remembered a man and as soon as she did her head...
Eternity woke early in the morning to start on her exercises for the day. She was trying to get into a routine to build up her body. She’d always thought that being able to roll well was important for pulling off burglaries. Rolls would help move out of someone’s field of view quickly...
Eternity woke up one morning to the growling of her stomach. It was a common occurrence as of late because she had consistently avoided spending money on food. There was always something else to buy, another tool to help with lockpicking. Managing money was never her strong suit and...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=5259 22nd Ashan, 722
Faith sat in the small coffee house where they had met and she sipped her drink, thoughtfully, as she watched Woe reading the notes she had handed him. Things were moving apace in Eureka and she had a lot to work out; but Woe might be...
