Midday, 7 Cylus, Arc 720
Bank of Scalvoris, Scalvoris Town
secret texts
In the middle of Scalvoris Town, an imposing building loomed over the neighboring architecture. Lit up in the Cylus dark by all sorts of lights, torches and candles and things that glowed that Carver couldn’t identify...
On the 6th of Cylus, Devin Thorn, thief, conman extraordinaire and wannabe mage sat on the couch in his living room, a book that he had borrowed from the local library in his lap, occasionally taking notes in his notebook (that had a fancy bright...
2nd Break, Cylus 5, Arc 720
The Four in Hand , Scalvoris Town
secret texts
Through the heavy gates of the tall palisade that kept the city from view, the three travelers entered Scalvoris Town. The Thiussium Ithecal, Quint, had visited before and as soon as they stepped through, he offered...
“This is really nice“, Devin decided, lay down on the blanket that he had spread out in the sand, under his luxurious black and golden sunshade and turned to watch the other beachgoers for a while before he looked at his roommate and close...
Where is that bard? Balthazar thought to himself as he arrived at the Temple of Delroth. It wasn't any larger than a poor man's garden shed but it was the most intricately decorated garden shed Balthazar had ever seen. There were people moving about- some probably priests and others...
On the 107th of Ashan, Devin Thorn, thief, conman extraordinaire, politician and recently initiated exceptionally skilled and incredibly experienced Becomer decided to head to the beach. It was hot – no, it was beyond hot. For the past couple of...
Having been impressed with what he saw of Element troopers such as Balthazar Black, yet more to the point, impressed with the respect and gravitas their presence commanded, Kalortah decided to join up with the Elements. It wasn't unheard of for Council Members to take up arms...

Erik Ki'Ufnaj did not often find time to relax. He worked long trials that consisted of long breaks, and the role of a harbour master was never quite finished, especially in a place as busy as Scalvoris Town.
In Ashan, Victor, the younger brother of Lord Stefan Amielle of Lysoria, finally returned to Scalvoris where he had studied and worked as a researcher at the Institute of Metaphysics once upon a time. He needed a break before he finally decided what he wanted to do with the...
“You should probably come back in a few trials so that I can check if everything’s healing fine”, Devin remarked cheerfully, put his gloves and his face mask away and smiled at Kedyr. Kedyr didn’t return the smile. The...
“So, this is it!” Devin remarked cheerfully and ushered the very confused and kind of scared Avriel who had tried to break into his house a few bits earlier into his treatment room. He had promised not to alert the guards in...
Natalie was wandering through the streets of Scalvoris Town, much like she often did while here. She was in a residential area, all houses and apartments, with the occasional small shop here and there. Nat was watching the windows she was passing by, mostly seeing curtains. There...
Devin awoke to the sounds of birds chirping which was a somewhat unusual sound to wake up to, although it was a sound that he liked, of course. For a moment, he was a little confused because he was clearly not in his own bed – or someone...

My friend Bert, the large stuffed bunny, thinks that you're being rude!
Darius had yelled the incriminating words, and he'd even stamped his foot on the grass outside and folded his little arms in a huff to drive home the...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=507&image_id=18065 Arc 720, 38th of Ashan
After his experience with Rose the rather quirky librarian , Darius was somewhat hesitant to accept offers of employment that were not clearly intended for someone with experience in either seafaring or woodworking.
The Tower Satravial as a structure has two clasess of entrance. One is deemed in Lorien, 'Hasin'avel' or 'Servant's Reception'. The other is referred to as 'Orien'avel' or the 'Master's Reception'. The former is accessible via a staircase at the...
25 Ashan 720
Balthazar sat, alone, in an unremarkable room in an unremarkable Inn somewhere unremarkably placed in Scalvoris. Not even a break ago it had all mattered to him. He'd asked for the the nicest sheets for the beds in their room and with a little bribe the owner was more than willing to...
24 Ashan 720
I don't know, it seems odd. Balthazar said to Isabella as they walked with their arms linked. He slowed his pace to meet hers as they walked and he didn't mind. She'd just posed an... interesting idea about what they could do with their free time if Balthazar truly had nothing else...
On the 104th of Ashan, Devin Thorn, thief, conman extraordinaire and recently initiated Becomer returned home from university, sweating somewhat unappealingly because it was quite hot, and went to look for his roommate and friend with benefits Aidan. The slightly older man was...
A small bell tinkled as Natalie pushed her way into Peyter's Pots and Potions . She looked up at the bell smiling, not having expected to hear it. It was cute, and she'd certainly remember it. And she definitely appreciated it. There behind the counter on the opposite end of the...
On the 10th of Ashan, Devin Thorn, thief, conman extraordinaire and esteemed member of the Scalvoris Council (he was the new Academic!) walked into Petyr’s Potions, a huge smile on his face and a spring in his step, because he had come up with a way to increase his popularity,...

Darius heard Rose's voice before he had even entered the library.
The bearded blond was more familiar with the wide open spaces of the ocean, having spent much more time on the water than in a library, but he was fairly sure...
34 Ashan 720
Sand flew into the air as another brawler collapsed, having been knocked unconscious by a heel to the back of his head. Balthazar stumbled back from his opponent for a moment- tense and ready for the brawler to rise and continue the fight... but he didn’t rise. Balthazar eased...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=507&image_id=18054 Arc 720, 2nd of Ashan
Darius stepped carefully through the thicket of trees. It was dark enough despite no longer being Cylus, and the shadows that each trunk only served to make the poor visibility even worse. It also felt much colder there, with...
