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...

After The Kudi'Eltu King .
Ymiden 30, Arc 720
“Does anybody want more chocolate cookies?” Mrs. Harper, the kind-hearted woman who had opened her home to a handful of orphans from Faldrass asked and held up a large tray that was filled to the brim with delicious...
Ari'sora stared across the room longingly. There was a window directly across from her bed, and it offered her a glimpse of the sky. Freedom lay just beyond a thin piece of glass...and yet it had never been so far away. Even with Ren'zar as her guardian, she had never been...

Darius' fingertips slid beneath the top layer of sand, feeling the grains as they slid over his digits and rolling them gently between finger and thumb. The bearded blond, who was crouched in a squatting position, closed his...
It was time for another test; her fifth since she had been kidnapped by Vyndar and Hathelrri. Four times she had failed this test, and as Ari'sora looked across the room at her audience, it was hard for her to believe that totrial would be any different. Mi'zuri held Rin'saia...

...Continued from Assistance Needed Pt. 1
The shop itself was easy to find once pointed in the right direction and Yeva stepped through the front door rather quietly. Half expecting to be greeted upon entry, her lungs had filled themselves with a reply that was not needed. Strange...
Ari'sora didn't feel well. And she hadn't felt well for trials now. She wasn't sick, exactly, but in some ways she felt like she was. The dull, empty ache in her stomach was so much a part of her that it felt normal now. It wasn't that she didn't notice it anymore, but it felt...
After her failure from the trial before, sleep continued to elude her. Her thoughts were already turning to her next test five trials from now. She had five trials to improve enough to pass the upcoming test, and that meant that she didn't have a single trial to waste on...
Ari'sora heard a knock on the door, but it only vaguely impinged on her awareness. Her captors wouldn't bother with knocking, so there was no risk of punishment if she didn't answer. And with only two trials left until her next test, she simply didn't have the time to spare from...
Ari'sora's eyes burned with exhaustion. She had been skipping meals and sleep whenever possible for the last several trials, trying to squeeze as much practice time as she could in the trials leading to her test. And to be told that she would have to master another instrument in...
True to Vyndar's word, there was...something waiting for her on the table next to the glass flute she used for practicing when she woke up. Ari'sora wasn't quite certain what to make of it. It didn't look like any instrument she had ever seen before. For that matter, it didn't...
After several breaks, Mi'zuri woke from her uneasy slumber. Ari'sora asked her if she wanted anything, but if her sister heard her, she didn't respond. Her sister was probably trying to come to grips with what had happened to her, and if so, Ari'sora could...
Ari'sora watched her sister sleep. Knowing how much pain Mi'zuri would be in when she woke up, she wanted her sister to sleep for as long as she could. To aid in that, she moved as quietly as she could as she changed into the new nightgown that her captors had provided for her,...
Kirei's mind raced frantically as she prepared breakfast for her family. She had never planned out a meal for an important event like this before. But that was what she was going to do at work totrial. The event itself had been her...

I'm sorry but maybe it would be better if I spoke with you both individually? Balthazar suggested to the seamstress and her aging husband. The seamstress cast a glance to her husband that Balthazar thought was a little strange, almost as if asking for permission, and when her husband...
It hadn't been all that long ago that Kirei had been trapped in the form of a caracal. Now that Kura had helped her to see that she wasn't as bad a person as she'd feared, it was time that she get back to her life. She had done...
Yeva sat outside the Scholar's Nook with a cup of tea, waiting for the perfect moment. She would know it when she saw it - the type of character that demanded story. Maybe it would be a woman on her way to market, wrangling an escaped chicken back into its cage, or a bespectacled...
“Does anybody want to hear a story about the creature called Kudi’Eltu that lives in the jungles of Desnind?” Devin asked the little orphans that sat around him, in Mr. and Mrs. Harper’s living room. The architect’s wife had...

The wooden planks of the Scalvoris Town wharf creaked as they bore the weight of the bearded returnee. Leather boots thudded upon their surface, and then the sound of the timber groan followed.
On the 50th of Ymiden, Devin Thorn, doctor, councilor and not entirely clueless incredibly skilled and experienced Becomer sat at the vanity table in his bedroom, trying on different hair accessories before he settled on something shiny in silver...

Location: Home
Ari'sora shot upright in her bed, her heart pounding painfully in her chest as she gasped for air. She could almost feel the ground moving beneath her as her eyes darted around, trying to figure out where she was. She was surrounded by the...
