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 .

“Nice“, Adeline remarked as she stepped across the threshold and entered Devin’s house. Her gaze went to the pictures on the walls and his various treasures that he had prominently displayed on a shelf before it finally settled on his roommate and friend with...

It was dark.
Soon, in very few trials it would be Cylus and then, it would be darker and all the time. Darkness, of course, always meant more death, more people to ferry more souls to judge. Darkness was where Xiur's power was weakest, where despair...
On the 28th of Ashan, Devin Thorn, thief, conman extraordinaire and priest of Delroth (and magical mutant!) sat behind the desk in his living room, a quill in his hand, a stack of papers and an inkwell in front of him and a murderous look on his face. Normally, he quite loved...
He didn't want to leave, but he knew he couldn't remain there forever. Idalos, a new life and a new beginning was waiting for him. Yet another chance to start over... but if he was to make a fresh start, it would mean also leaving behind those...
Are you really going to do this, Ari? Ryl'ryn asked in concern.
Ari'sora nodded. When she had told Felicia what had happened to her last Cylus, the older woman had been very understanding of how difficult it had been for her....
I must admit that this is rather unorthodox, The Coffer grumbled irritably from the seat in front of Maxine's desk. His arms were folded over his chest and a tobacco cigar smoked lazily between his teeth.
Maybe, Max conceded with...
With the weather permitting, Yeva's class takes their first field trip to Almund, where they learn about the medical properties of sea life. On her way there, things get rather... revealing.
It was her first class outside of the university, a field trip that began on the green sands of Scalvoris Town where Professor Carter stood before a small group of students and spoke confidently:
Some of you may have grown up on this island, but for those of you who haven't, he...
The Red Hand was buzzing with a slew of patrons, but the place wasn't packed by far. There was nothing particularly different about this night than the one before. Alcoholics nursed their drinks at the bar, dropping their last nels to poison themselves....
8 Ashan 720
A few breaks later when the sun had completely set, Balthazar and Kyle sat on their Scalvwing Steeds atop a building large enough to overlook the vigil. Balthazar could see the faces of dozen of parents and family members that he didn't recognize. Part of him was glad he'd begun his...
8 Ashan 720
Cylus had been a wonderful and horrible time for Balthazar. He'd improved in many things and he was nearly done with his time in training with The Elements, but he had not caught the killer who haunted his dreams. He had not returned the children to their parents... and worse yet more...
Wald had been working hard to get a camp set up in the southern region of Scalvoris, and he had little time to hunt for not only himself but the animal he brought with him. Though it was easy for the two predators to replace the one hunter, it was not as pretty of a meal but it...
It didn't take long for Natalie to discover the Everdark Casino. She heard about it while wondering through town, looking for something to do. Some nice old man had come up to her right in the middle of the street, stopped her. Took her hands in his, which she let, curious as to...
10 Cylus 720
Alright... here we go. Balthazar tapped on the merquestrian's sides with his feet gently to as avoid hurting the mount. It didn't budge, it looked around and made a noise like a horse might if it was blowing bubbles in water....
10 Cylus 720
Balthazar had come to the conclusion that it would be best for him to work with Gabriel Windstrom during his trials training with the Water Troopers. He'd seen Gabriel a few times before at Nellies before things had soured as they did and so he thought they two of the might have the...
It was late morning when Eliza arrived at the house on the outskirts of Scalvoris Town. She’d been there the trial before; but had remained outside the locked, wrought iron fence that kept the rest of the world at arm’s length. The structure sat on a rise,...
Yeva stood, dumbfounded as she stared at the map in her hands and rounded the corner. She must have taken a wrong turn, or read it incorrectly. Squinting, she brought the page closer. Beneath the city lanterns, it was a bit easier to read although admittedly, Yeva wasn't the...
Ellasin had hesitated back in Rharne, when they arrived. As if sensing something, she cast glances about. Something changed her mind about where she was. In a flash, her mind was made up. The powers at her command had...
In the afternoon of the 2nd of Cylus, Devin Thorn, bard, conman extraordinaire and magical mutant was in a bed that was not his own, in a house that was not his own, an arm wrapped around someone that was definitely not Aidan, the university student that he more or less lived...

The words seemed to hang in the air like a bad smell; a lingering, pungent stench that couldn't be ignored.
Darius felt a lump in his throat as he took in what his father had just said. He heard the statement again as it...
Kalortah stood in front of a full-length mirror, in the mirror room on the third story of his new tower in Scalvoristown. In his hand, the gem that the Grand Aeolian had gifted him. He had another, one he'd picked up before making it to Yaralon. Tied to that one...
That, of course, was obvious. It was Zi'da and so - it was dark. There were no suns in the sky, and the weather ranged from very cold to so cold that you would die if you were out there for any length of time.
