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 Website: Standing Trials ( / ), referred to through the rest of this thread as the website , our website , the site , our site , Standing Trials , and Trials .

A good deal had happened in just the last few trials, not least of which yesterday. Oram had been entrusted about eight trials before by the University with collecting and checking stories about the various sands of Scalvoris. That would eventually take him all around the island, he...
Oram had been to the University once before. It had been Cylus, like it was now. It had been cold, like it was now, although there was more snow now than there had been last time. Snow from the blizzard eight to nine trials since, still piled up in banks flanking and funneling and...
Yet another day came to existence as the sun rose o’re the horizon. The light peered through Goku’s curtains and shined right on his closed eyelids at just the right angle to evoke a response. The response was a grunt and a turned shoulder. It was far too early to be getting up. The...
“You know what? I can’t shake the feeling that we are wasting our time here. There’s nothing in town better than this? I could spend my time better somewhere else.” The speaker was a human that had sandy brown hair and a black hairband that held her hair to her head. The breeze that...
Good research always started with a plan. Step one had been researching the various legends of the Heart of Scalvoris. Elisabeth was relatively certain she had done what she could there - at least for the time being. Now it was time to move on to...
When Elisabeth planned the quick trip to Scalvoris, there were several things she needed to do. Scholar’s Nook to research. Perdita’s to pick up Storm. And some shopping. Shopping wasn’t something the young woman enjoyed but this time, it was for...
Goku finally turned out for his first sword lesson. He had put this moment off for years after he got his first sword. He came dressed in his armor from head to toe and held his sword with both hands. He wished that there was an easier way to go about transporting the armor to the...
The rickety rackety sound of wheels clunked on the stone ground outside. Not just one, but dozens of wheels in procession made for a rude wake up call. Goku plugged both ears with his fingers though the damage had already been done. He woke up, on time on account of the noise,...
Every passing Cylus, Darragh felt the absence of her crew even deeper.
Cylus was a time when families huddled together for warmth and light. She looked up to see a stray snowflake in lead-colored sky, and imagined her old ship cruising over the waves, a white beacon...
On the 17th of Ashan, Devin Thorn, master bard, medical genius in progress and unexpected Baron (He had just wanted Alyssia to get the job!) was standing in the treatment room in his exceedingly colourful house in Scalvoris Town. He was rolling up...
Books, for most of Elisabeth’s life, had been a haven. A place she could escape to while the world raged on around her. There was still a certain amount of shame in her past ignorance. Even at that, the inescapable truth was she...
The Order of the Adunih are found throughout Idalos and the branch here on Scalvoris was one of the very early outposts to open. At the time, it was needed because of the violence which was so common on the island. However,...
Goku looked at the calendar. After his week of hard work it had finally come due for his rest day. He had to rest because if he worked too hard his muscles would be over strained and every time he did that he had to go for a whole week of rest before he felt his muscles were well...
Kirei knew that she was pressed for time on this trip, so she had planned out what she was going to do before she even began her trip into Scalvoris Town. The letter that Kura had sent to her said...
The day was well into the morning when Goku stepped out of his humble abode. He reached his hands into the sky and stretched as much as he could to get some feeling into the tips of his fingers and toes. Blood flow was always pretty slow since he had these massive wings that...

Awareness returned to Ari'sora slowly. As she opened her eyes, she was greeted with the sight of the room she had found herself in the past couple of trials. She was a...guest? Prisoner? Patient? She was at the...
The trial was well into the afternoon when Oram saw Professor Seams riding out of the Scalvoris gate. Seams rode a small horse, not much bigger than a pony. Wigs would have known what the breed was called. The professor, Oram guessed, was probably used to...
Kirei smiled at Aiden as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. With nine children, date nights were few and far between. But the older children had insisted, saying that they could handle the younger children for a few trials so...
It was not the first time Oram had received a letter. It was, however, the first time that he had been able read such a letter on his own. And it looked like he wouldn’t have a chance to do it alone. The hunter had told his older brother, Osric, about the wondrous glasses Saoire had...
‘Painting is for rich teens staving off boredom until they marry, not for people like us. Dreams?! Dreams like that are just going to have you dead in a ditch someday, or worse. Why can’t you just get a job? That…? Look, girl, as kindly as possible, no one’s gonna pay a...
She sat on the floor outside her tent, and she called to them. First one. Then the other. Then, finally, the third. What it was which made her pick them out, she either did not know, or did not tell. But, that trial, it was them she...
After a night to relax and recover from the long ride into Scalvoris Town, Kirei was fresh, alert, and eager to get to work as she made her way into Cally's. Trudi greeted her warmly as she hung up her cold weather gear, and put...
On the 15th of Cylus, Devin Thorn, medical genius in progress , priest of Delroth and unexpected Baron (who was currently in Scalvoris Town in order to gather supplies for his Barony and take care of university-related matters, among other things)...
It was after the last lecture of the day when Nicholas arrived at the library, his friend and coursemate Derek at his side. With no surprise to anyone it had been snowing for the whole trial (the term being used lightly here as the sun was missing and the whole Cylus felt...
The woods were deathly dark. The woods were deathly quiet. The woods were deathly cold. As Oram waited, he tossed his cloak and his extra blanket over Mule’s back, then himself huddled, under all these layers plus Mule’s saddle blanket,...
