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...

Location: Order of the Adunih Clinic
Awareness returned to Ari'sora slowly. The first thing that she became aware of was that she wasn't in her own bed. She was able to tell that much even before she opened her eyes. Ari'sora frowned pensively. If she...
Alyssia coughed some as the darkness of Cylus continued on. There was not much to be done against the cold. She had yet to think of something to be done to keep money coming in for a room to stay in. Rubbing her hands together, the teen sneezed again and rubbed her face trying to...
3rd of Ashan, Arc 721
Ashan, the breath of fresh air after 30 trials of no sun. No matter that the temperatures haven't really risen, just the fact that there is a slight chance to see the sun had improved the mixed blood's mood. There was a little pep in his step, as well as, you could catch the...
5th Trial of Cylus, Arc 721
It was just another cold trial in Scalvoris. Nicholas was nursing a mug of hot tea, the fifth in a row, while manning the front desk of Serpent's Remedies. In the last couple of trials, it has been mind-numbing work as there have been only a few customers. Apparently,...

Oram glared with annoyance and disgust at the large tan bug now writhing in his evening tea before snatching it up to crush it and toss it into the night. Locusts! There were locusts everywhere! Their buzzing filled the air, and their little shadows...
Earlier in the season, Ari'sora had wondered how one might practice using discipline. Tempting herself and resisting that temptation...or trying to seemed like a good way to practice. So she had gone out and bought a beautiful lemon layer...
Shl'drei had done a lot of thinking, and because of recent events and his own observations it was clear that the lumen wolf, the poorly behaved but much beloved lumen wolf, was suffering separation anxiety. It started the previous cold cycle- slow and hardly noticeable...
It had been a long time since Balthazar walked the floors of his home in Scalvoris Town. He'd been to so many places and stayed in so many rooms that the walls around him now seemed foreign. Isabella had taken better care of the building than he expected her to and when he arrived,...
On the 16th of Cylus, Devin Thorn, medical genius in progress , master bard and priest of Delroth, was just sitting cross-legged on the shaggy rug in front of the fireplace, because it was nice and warm there, dressed in a very stylish, but...
Oram felt nervous as he approached the Elements Hall. A full season and much of a second had passed since he and Darius had volunteered to help the Elements during the recent Dusk Festival , and he was unsure whether the Land Troops would remember their contributions, or the...

S he had been thinking about this for a while, and Perdita still wasn't entirely sure that it was a good idea. Sometimes, she thought that it was, and other times she was quite sure that it wasn't something she was ready for. Or clever enough...

The Scholars' Nook

They were things which Perdita truly loved. They had so much potential, so much future and - often - so much history. The young woman felt strongly about the worth of books - the value of them in a...
It was one of those slow, never ending trials that Shl’dri had nothing planned. Leora hadn’t made a peep when he left, in fact she was oddly quiet. He was worried, her glow seemed to dim a bit before he left. There wasn’t much for it though as he needed the time to himself so...
Alsing Van-Der-Ley was busily drafting his fliers for the concert, the tournament that would determine who won the prize of a blade from Little Korlasir, one of Hurk's masterpieces. He hadn't much idea how these things were planned, or put...
“Fek you!“ Devin exclaimed and glowered at what was supposed to be his latest masterpiece, but really looked like an undefinable and unappealing mixture of paper, wire and thin wooden sticks that was lying on a wooden plate. “Why are doing this to...
Kalortah in the form of Alsing had made the arrangements for his own funeral. When questioned how he knew Kalortah, he'd confess that the two met while in Yaralon. There was nobody present, as far as he knew that could refute the story. So it...
On the 28th of Cylus, Devin Thorn, masterful bard, medical genius in progress and priest of Delroth decided to visit the open-air market in the Town Square, just like he did every other trial in order to procure cooking ingredients. This time he was...

The noise of the door opening caused Josef to jump in his seat. It had been swung open so quickly that his initial wonderment was that it had not removed itself from its hinges. Grey eyes, surrounded by weathered skin, peered...
Oram sat motionlessly and silently, waiting. His father had taught him that, for a hunter, waiting was probably the single most important skill to master. For all its seeming simplicity, it was also one of the most difficult for many hunters, even good ones. Oram, for his own part,...
It was midday and Balthazar was…somewhere. Meditation was already done and she was feeling the need to swing her sword a little. Elisabeth had begun to convert from gladius to longsword back in Rharne, but things had interfered. It was a bit frustrating...
The stiff wood creaked its objection to Oram’s efforts to bend it more. Next time, the hunter thought ruefully, he would make his snowshoes earlier, before the wood had all dried out. And before the snowy season was already upon him. He had been meaning to make himself some...
“Devin, you’ve really outdone yourself this time”, Aidan complimented the young Mortalborn and smiled. They were just sitting at the table in the kitchen, eating breakfast together, like they did almost every morning (their other roommate, Talieson,...
