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....

Come off! Max's shout filled the quaint bathroom. If it had been one angry outburst, no one would've dared to come. The summation of the past several trials changed that. Every time Maxine returned to the Red Hand, she came back more unhinged than before. The questionable quality of the imported...
It started with the thoughts. Quiet. Subtle. They were so meaningless and fleeting at first she didn't notice they were alien. Trials passed and an unseen influence settled deeper. It was putting down its roots, spreading divine manipulation through the complex house of her psyche. The more...
Max knew the voice of her Diri. When it spoke, its words were silky smooth, pure temptation manifested in sound for her ears alone. It always spoke at just the right moment. It was like it knew just when she might be most susceptible to its desires. The long game was its play. The Diri was...
The wind softly disturbed Maxine's raven hair where she stood in the center of the shady street. Not a soul dared to walk the length of the wide alleyway. Once in a while she noted a pedestrian move to turn down it before quickly remembering themselves. No doubt The Raven...
Two beatings into the season of Cylus, and he was ready to call reality quits. His wings were sprained, If not broken, his ribs caved, his fingers bent to the point they couldn’t use his drum properly. He thought he was done for, with...
Leshlie moved through the Scalvoris Council Hall in Almund with ease. She filed away paperwork and kept her desk cleaned. The door opened and she turned to see who had arrived. She smiled politely as Shania from Gunvorton walked in,...
The sound of a portal ripping open rocked Maxine awake. She snapped up in her chair, head shooting up from the surface of the bar with a shake. Blinking, tired eyes caught the glimmer of crimson as the tear in reality vanished as quickly as...
Maxine let out at a sigh from where she sat at the bar. She ran her hands down her face. Victoria peered up from her work behind the counter, arching a brow at her employer. She stopped making circles with a wet cloth and sauntered out of the room. When she returned bits later,...
Boss, Vincent, one of Maxine's bouncers at The Red Hand greeted her as she meandered down the stairs. He paused mid-walk to stare at her, blinking his surprise. You look...sober.
You say that like you're surprised, the owner of the...
Marciel of the Red Ravens gasped awake when the wave of cold water hit him. His dark eyes flashed open, alarm consuming his expression as he shook his sopping head. His head jerked from side to side. His muscles were tense, and confusion struck him when he moved to jerk an arm...
This place looks like a shit hole, Max said with arms crossed, looking across the street at their pathetic destination.
The buildings was two stories tall. The wood paneling on the outside was a deep brown, marred and uneven from top-to-bottom. The bricks of the chimney were...
You should've changed docks, Maxine's harsh murmur cut through the dark Cylus air. The sailor adjusting the rigs of his ship paused at the sound of her voice. His rough, worn hands hesitated for but a moment before returning to their task. He didn't turn around. He didn't need to....
For two trials Max played an old game she learned from a mentor arcs and arcs ago. Cloak huddled around her where she sat and a drinking tankard a couple feet away on the ground, she did her best to assume her role. It was a simple game really. All she had to do was sit on the street...
Kirei stirred restlessly in her sleep, trapped in uneasy dreams. Voices followed her, echoing through a formless void, accusing her of being selfish...bad...evil. Cruel laughter accompanied those haunting words, mocking her. And throughout it all, Kirei knew above...

Location: The Four in Hand
You mean to tell me you've no idea what a Thunderstorm is?! Quite a few of the local fishermen looked at him like he was crazy, or born yester-trial rather, when Patrick asked the question with...

Scalvoris Town
News had reached Almund that a interim meeting had been called in Scalvoris Town. By extension, it had reached my ears as well. The Council were addressing the concerns of the citizens that had been polled earlier in the season across the...
The tavern was a hole in the wall crowded with the type that made most people nervous. Their clothes didn't fit quite right. Scars and pock-marks were common characteristics fresh on their faces. Some of their smiles were nearly predatory, the joy...
The air within the Four had lightened considerably as remaining hours of the day dwindled, Patrick had retired to the bar for that considerable eve since the cycle drew to a close. Many of the locals were outwardly gracious that the heat would finally...
Ky picked her way between glistening patches of ice on her way to the Knight's Rest for her shift in the kitchen and bakehouse. It was cold this early, but at least now that it was Ashan the sun would come up eventually. The ice around was the result of patches of...
