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....

Oram had seen all sorts of weapons and fighting styles on display this trial; he had even tried some of each out himself. The sheer range of wooden practice weapons Bramwell Foy had managed to display in the racks here at the Combat Festival was impressive, to say nothing of the...
Woe had… a concern. A concern born of a rumor. But compounding that concern was a conundrum. How the hell was he and Nat to get across the channel to that… for lack of a better phrase, a castle on a rock?
After the events of the Council Meeting, Elisabeth had decided to stay on in Scalvoris Town a bit longer, delaying her return to Faldrass and Haven for a few trials. She and Balthazar were in the same place at the same time, and it seemed a good...
Elisabeth stepped off the ferry from Faldrass onto the docks, letting her eyes sweep the immediate area. With a deep breath, she gently stepped to the side of the thoroughfare, letting others go past her while she took in the view of...

Proving Grounds, Mid-morning, 3rd of Vhalar
Hardly even half a day with his boots firmly on Scalvoris' soil, and Duncan had found himself immediately searching out the nearest training grounds. He wasn't disappointed when he finally did find them either, they were...
The harvest season had finally begun on Scalvoris. According to what Doran had learned, bad things tended to happen in Vhalar – there were countless examples throughout history – but there was no sign of an impending catastrophe...

After The Way of the Sword .
Vhalar 21, Arc 721
Doran had decided to return to the combat festival the trial after he had taught a Menochoros lesson and demonstrated one of his combat techniques, this time as a spectator. He enjoyed the...
The dread of another day was fresh. The commute from the Menagerie wasn't bad, nor were his coworkers awful or unappealing. No, the menagerie was not the problem. The problem came in the form of a pale purple laze who couldn't be bothered to fly with him on her back. Mittie...
Doran had not been particularly fond of Bramwell Foy during their last meeting the arc before. The human had asked him to fight at The Proving Ground and demonstrate his skill with the blade. He had agreed to that. He had given...
The uppermost floor of the former lighthouse, in direct view of the giant lamp that had been left there by the former owner, was probably an unusual place to do important research, Doran considered as he briefly turned his gaze...
What Woe had seen in his glimpse into Augusta's dreams had troubled him enough that he, in fact, hadn't returned since that night in Ymiden, where he'd sought to see what damage might be lying beneath the surface of her mind. The revelation that her mother, Olga, was alive...

After The Way of the Mind .
Vhalar 20, Arc 721
Doran spent the thirty bits after he had taught a brief lesson on Menochoros, his unarmed combat style of choice, on the upper level of the building that followed the length of the exercise area....

Fourteen Cylus, Arc Seven Twenty One
Perdie was still out somewhere, maybe on her way home from her classes or with a basket full of shopping or whatnot, when Eli first sat down at the table near the fire, a leaning stack of books stacked precariously to one side,...
The third of Vhalar, Doran had been told, was considered the most romantic trial in the Scalvoris calendar. Couples often got engaged on that trial. He didn’t really feel lonely, and he didn’t feel like he was missing out on...
Excuse me, what's happening? Bao asked, clearing his throat a little in the hope he was seen. A couple, both young and Biqaj, turned and looked down to Bao with a smile. The man, grinning wide, chuckled and gestured to the lanterns that were being handed out. That there is the...

20th Ashan, 721
/gallery/image/19968/medium fter the carriage ride here, Perdita had not really known what to do. Eli had said that yes, he wanted them to be together and he'd pulled her a little closer, his hand tugging hers. As he had, Perdita had leaned into him,...
Life, Doran decided, as he let his gaze drift across his living room that was located on the ground floor of the former lighthouse that he had recently moved into was undeniably good. There had been a time when he had thought...
It had begun early that morning, as the ships came in to Scalvoris Town Docks. Six ships in all, each one with sails a different colour. This arc, it seemed, they were trying something new. Something they didn't usually do. Rather...
Doran had realized that his research for Qylios would take more time than he had originally anticipated – even though he finally had a first lead of sorts. After his meeting with Stan at the Glass Temple the season before, he had...
Natalia enjoyed people-watching, and wandering the streets of Scalvoris Town was a fantastic opportunity to do so. So many different personalities pressed together in one place. It was like a one-stop training prospect, where she could try to...

Do you believe in the Immortals, Da?
Josef Baer had been making a cup of coffee in his kitchen when his son asked the question, but he paused to take a moment, his greying brows furrowing as he tried to ascertain just what...
Balthazar, Jacien, and Miranda Preston stood together in what passed for a morgue within the Element Hall in Scalvoris. They were an unlikely alliance despite all serving the same government. Balthazar and Jacien had some clear level of dislike...

10th of Vhalar, Arc 721
Since he had returned to Scalvoris – he had decided to take a sabbatical in order to carry out the task that Qylios had given to him – the son of Ziell had developed a new habit. Once upon a time, he had lived a rather...
