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....

It would’ve been a beautiful morning had it not been Cylus. It had all the characteristics of a good morning; the birds were singing, the wind was howling and Zekuseeyros was yawning. Sleeping on solid ground was a sensation the aukari had almost forgotten about, and now his body...
Quick were the people to arrive at the bar, to flood the restaurant and occupy most booths. Kinship and joyful chatter seemed the cure for the endless night and freezing cold. Meads, beers and wines were now held in hand instead of flickering torches or dim lanterns, and the...
They had decided to make a trial out of it. Ari'sora, Ryl'ryn and Mi'zuri bundled up the kids, and made their way to the town square. They were running low on a lot of things, and if they each split up to do some of the shopping, they...
It was the creaking of the wood, he understood. That croaking had become like the whine of a pig, screeching itself into his ears and hammered further into the skull by the sound of the crashing waves on the side of the vessel. The wind whistled all around, and the skies would...
It was midday, though still terribly dark and cold in Scalvoris Town as it was the height of Cylus. Natalie was bundled up beneath her coat with a heavy dress (This one had pockets!). It was a soft beige, modest in most ways, and she had her hood up to fight off the chilling winds....

Located on the western edge of Scalvoris Town, The Proving Ground is the city's premier fighter training facility for civilians.
The facility itself is rather simplistic in nature, consisting of large, open-air, fenced sandpits. A two-level...

If individuals of many different races and cultures make Scalvoris Town their home, it is the docks that act as their main entrance. Located on the eastern edge of the crescent that is Scalvoris Island, the docks overlook the Hollow Sea and give...
On the 30th of Ashan, Devin Thorn, thief, conman extraordinaire and recently initiated Becomer was pacing back and forth in his living room – or rather hobbling back and forth. He held a fancy black and golden cane with a handle that looked like a crow’s head...
Natalie had spent much of the morning, walking along the cold beach, enjoying the touch of the moons during the sunless winter. It was cold, and her hooded cloak was wrapped tight around her. She was still cold, but she didn't mind. It made her feel alive, refreshed....
On the 1st of Ashan, Petyr Lovan, one of the most renowned alchemists in all of Scalvoris, was just standing behind the counter, pouring the contents of two vials into the cauldron that was in front of him when the door was being opened. A moment later, a man that he had hoped he...
“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....

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...

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...

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....

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...
