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 .

Ky checked the recipe for shortcrust pastry, measured the right amount of flour into the bowl, and then weighed out the butter. She added slices from the main block until the scales balanced, and then put the remaining butter aside to keep cool for another time. Picking up each slice...
Water no longer pooled outside the library, Ky was glad to see when she reached it to browse the books once more. She slipped in through the doors, escaping the cold wind outside, and saw that the disarray hadn't completely gone yet. The bookshelves were still there, in their neat...
Ari'sora looked up from the bottle she had been washing to see Lira looking up at her hopefully. Lira was five arcs old, and had just started school. She was a bright young Sev'ryn girl who...

An exclusive restaurant nestled in the middle of Scalvoris Town, Cally's is considered to be the best in food that the entire island has to offer. The cuisine is sourced from the farmholding outside the...
Sleep compelled him - almost. But, just before it clutched him and pulled him from the solemn embrace of the night, something kept him stirring. Thoughts, imagination. He kept thinking of the world as it used to be -- the vast unknown before him, to be dissected and...
As the gray light of dawn peeked through the heavy curtains drawn across the window, Eliza had woken up in a very crowded bed. Her old gray cat Smudge was curled up on her pillow beneath her chin, and the enormous wolfhound that had followed her back...
As Ari'sora entered the archway, she found herself in a meadow. Although there were no signs that anyone lived nearby, this meadow was clearly beloved by someone because it was far more than just a meadow. It was a carefully tended...
5th of Vhalar, Arc 718
When Devin woke up that morning and looked out of his bedroom window, he noticed that it was raining rather heavily and that the rain was blood red. Unlike the majority of the citizens of Scalvoris he wasn’t worried in the least. On the contrary, he was excited because he...
Ari'sora was giddy with excitement. This trial was the twenty fourth of Ymiden...and that meant that it was Cassion's Feast. She knew of the festival, of course. Mi'zuri celebrated it each arc with her friends. Ren'zar had spoken of it with amusement, and he looked forward to...
85th of Vhalar, Arc 718
Gathering three people that you had been involved with, were involved with or planned on being involved with in the same room probably wasn’t particularly sensible, but Devin considered sensible behaviour to be a waste of time, and thus he had done it anyway. He didn’t...

3rd of Saun, Arc 718
When Tristan walked down the hallway, he noticed that the door to his workshop was wide open. That in itself was not particularly concerning, but the mess on the floor of his workshop definitely was. It looked as if a force of...

How many breaks had he been at this? Rowan wasn't sure and he didn't want to check the time again or someone might think that he didn't want to be here, that he didn't want this job. It wasn't like that at all. However, just because he...
39th of Saun, Arc 718
“What’s that ?“ Devin asked, furrowed his brow in irritation and pointed at the long, shiny and silver objects that Aidan was holding in his hands. The young man grinned all over his face and informed him, “Swords for our training sessions so that we can spar. I thought that...
The workmen had finally arrived to install the new bread oven that Ky had ordered which, while good in its way, meant that there was nowhere quiet for her to sit and equally nowhere to cook or even brew a hot drink. As a result she showed them where and what she wanted and then took...
Kirei stood in the doorway and stared in awe at the kitchen spread out before her. The surfaces gleamed invitingly, just begging to be used. And there were plenty of them. She would never run into a shortage of workspace in this...
One journey was over, but another was about to begin.
Scalvoris, a nation known to Lorena once as barely but a rumour now a year later had been filled with a vibrant multi-cultured centre of trade for adventurers to settle and make their...
Nav watched her step forward, her knife arm swinging around the side of her head to bury the dagger in the side of her skull. She tried to watch the movement, but her partner froze their attack and shook their head, “No, you cannot watch with your eyes, only your peripherals....
Lei'lira looked up at the sound of her name. It was Tisa, one of her neighbors in Beacon. The two of them had formed a friendship of sorts, and the older woman had helped her a lot while...
There was something about graveyards that tugged at Eliza, and she couldn't quite explain what it was. Many people avoided the places at all costs, in her experience, and for any number of reasons. Maybe they found them to be...
