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....

In honour of another Scalvoris end of arc tradition, Kotton had gone out of his way to purchase a few valuable items. He knew he should have used the money to purchase gifts for others, as was the premise of the tradition, but he had already adopted the custom of the day of...

It had been a few days. A few days that were measured in weeks, or so it had felt to Kotton. He had expended an exorbitant amount of energy over the course of the last few days twiddling his thumbs and watching with an intense gaze at the practice of various bartenders. He had...

Death is inevitable and so are the maggots that creep from out of the woodwork to embellish themselves against the rot and decay. For many, death reaps frustration and causes those who become frustrated to feel like they are a pot of chili spurting in high heat with the...

Kotton had been out in the Sweetwine Forest to practice using a double edged dagger. It was the best place he had come up with: excluded from society where no one would be at risk of getting hurt, but also where no one could see him fail and fail again in his venture to become...

Kotton waited with the remaining patience he had until Eustoria, his mentor in art, blessedly decided to speak up in regards to the question he had most recently asked. He had just declared his need for help. What should I do next? was what he had inquired and he inquired this...

Kotton had spent the last hour casually watching an artist at work. And finally, nearing the beginning of the second hour she had conceded and gave him her name. She even began to teach him a thing or two about art, particularly in the style of drawing with charcoal medium....

I don't undewstand what you mean, Kotton admitted, dropping his folded arms so they laid loosely at his sides. He had been studying this stranger of a woman and how she drew spectacular works of art. He had experienced an emotional mountain, up hill and down the same valley just...

Sometimes it felt like Kotton had a case of ‘mind knives’. It was like his brain was being treated by being stabbed. One, two, three too many times. Whilst his mind was wounded, his heart persisted, but it would only allow him so much time. That’s what boredom felt like to him,...

Kotton knew very little about U’frek. He was hardly aware that he was an immortal who so vigorously respected navigation and… water? Kotton could understand the former, and he was always wishing to brush up on his desire to memorise and thus comprehend the placement of the...

Lightning crackled near and thunder spooked with even closer vicinity. It frightened the creature they rode and forced them to experience bucking, something Kotton had learnt from his acquaintance/aunt/family friend. But that could be looked at during a time that wasn’t...
After closing and locking the front door to his home, Kotton trekked across the outer portion of Scalvoris and traversed parallelly toward the stables he had spent hours talking to and learning from an artist who was masterful at drawing. With confidence, he marched right...

The young man redirected his attention back to his story. He brandished a charcoal stick instead of a quill since his inkwell was near to being empty and he presently had no finances to refill it. He moved his hand against the blank piece of paper available to him and listened...

It was a marvellous morning. The sun was at the cusp of transitioning into a majestic colour of ruby-maroon, if not slightly bordering on the line of lipstick red. He had seen so many lovely women wearing the exact shade but had unfortunately said nothing other than a soft...
Well, I can honestly say I never thought we'd be here.
Maxine sat in the pew in the center of the Glass Temple. Her arms were extended along the back of the seat in a familiar way as though she'd sat in its likeness once before...somewhere not of this plane. The...

Kotton tousled his chestnut hair. A thin lock fell into his face. He pushed it aside with the nonchalance of having been stung by a bee. This fringe really needed to be trimmed. They annoyed him each and everyday he forgot to make an appointment.

Kotton was someone who easily learnt from his mistakes. It was a mixture of a multitude of things- his eagerness to make no similar error: he liked to make people happy, which bordered on the line into people pleasing with ignorant grandeur; he hated to be wrong, which was...

His heart rate had resolved itself into a normal pulse akin to those who were notably resting against sofas and beds and lounge chairs. Still, he wasn't sure where his trial was taking him. He had admitted his acceptance to the side of what could be a lovely young woman who had...

Kotton wanted nothing more than to spend the entirety sleeping. Dreams always and forever would be his home away from home. When he slept and dreamt things usually didn’t hurt him. He used the term 'usually' lightly since he did have past encounters where he woke up from a dream...

There was an unreal situation happening at the clinic, and it was one Kotton wasn’t fully aware of. He had received nothing in the way of announcement other than an insistence on him being in the diagnosis hall at a specific time. All he knew was that his friend and coworker...

Kotton hoisted his backpack further up his shoulder, and immediately felt the drooping of the fabric from the heaviness of his textbooks. His stride was purposeful, dedicated, directed without hesitation toward the Scholar’s Nook where all visionaries and intelligent folk...

It was the same night Kotton had undertaken playing a game dubbed 'roulette'. He had won only once, but that was enough for him; he already felt more than comfortably susceptible to the black hole of gambling. He had introduced himself to the concept of 'IOUs' and mooched off...

Kotton liked speaking aloud to himself. Especially when it came to his most unruly of thoughts. Keeping them contained within his mind tended to hurt overtime. There were so many, too many, and they seemed to all like running into each other. It was stuffy inside. The traffic...
