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...

[Placeholder for 14th of Ymiden]
Anton tries once again to reach out to the elements. To soothe his quivering rage, even the earth will reach out to embrace him.
The word haunted her. It echoed through every dream, and every waking moment. She was selfish. And she needed not to be. Needed it the same way that she needed to be with her family, or the way she needed air to breathe. Every waking moment she was aware of that...

Max was off doing something for the club or getting ambrosia or possibly seeing if she could get dogs addicted to drugs as well as booze. Whatever the firebrand was off doing, Kura was alone in...

Evening
Leshlie Vy'Ihadi was a friendly, comforting face to the citizens of Scalvoris Town. Her work was humble but important, and those who worked in the Scalvoris Town Council Hall generally seemed to think she did her job just fine. All the papers...
The city was just beginning to stir as the sun began to break over the horizon. The heat had finally made its way to Scalvoris. Now there seemed to be no kind of relief from it. The strange ether storms that had ripped through at the start of the season and even just the day...
I'm bored, Zana said, leaning back in the bed they shared. It probably wasn't quite the perfect time for him to hear that, but it could have been worse. With a slight glance to him, she almost acknowledged as much. I didn't say it...
32nd Of Saun, 719
*Speaking Rakahi
* Speaking Common
It couldn't be said that the trials were cooling but at least the odd rains a few trials prior had done some good to keep it from sweltering as it had in the beginning of the season. Though strange weather...

Location: The Docks
It was meant to be a sort of union among the fisherman, especially those that had boats waiting to be freed. Ashan had started but the ice slowly melted away, and too many of the locals themselves grew impatient...
The soft cry of Ashan would have woke her up if her own scream hadn’t. Small arms were already curling around her, and the Biqaj gripped her back just as tightly. Words of reassurance wouldn’t come out, instead her eyes remained burning and the familiar...

Something was wrong. Ari'sora knew that much even before she was fully awake. She felt...different somehow. Strange. As if she wasn't herself anymore. She tensed, wondering exactly what was wrong. She had been dreaming. It had been a...
A bandage was wrapped around her left palm but Max knew what lingered beneath. It might've been out of sight, but it was anything but off her mind. The ex-convict thought of little else but the mark and what it was doing. She had lost control. Every trial she felt herself...
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...
