Almund is a thriving township with a dark side. With houses made from the wooden bodies of decommissioned ships, there are many opportunities here, coupled with many dangers.
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...

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....

He deserves to know, Squeak said with a huff of disapproval. The runt might have struggled to even look up at the tallest members of the pack, yet his innocence and naivety was beginning to put him at odds with more senior packmates - speaking as a voice...
“They’re already done?” He asked Lacrima, as she worried away at the stitching and starching of the cloth masks she was making up. The Feast day of the second of Vhalar under the roof of the apartment adjoining the Bones was to be a somewhat intimate affair. But Woe had insisted on his people...
Vhalar was passing quickly but slowly at the same time. Balthazar had made the decision to skip the majority of the festivals while other Black Cat's decided to participate. Robin and Lyanna had gone to Darbyton for the celebration of flight and returned. Sam had given Balthazar a...
Balthazar had his bag packed but like every choice he had made in the last three trials, he was beginning to doubt the merit of this trip. The people had left Haven because they did not know where their leader was. When they had no one to turn to, they had come to find him and now he...
115 Vhalar, 723

The brick walls felt oddly rougher than the last time Kotton had run his fingertips along them. But the coarseness was still invigorating to the touch. It reminded him that he was alive and contributed to the reassurance that he could still feel and sense and live in a world...
As he approached, Woe had the blue-cloak sized up within a few glances. Althugh Woe wasn't the most discerning or demanding person when it came to a woman's beauty, she had an unconventional allure to her. Her face lacking some of the freshness of...
Jesine is the Mortalborn who is honoured on this night - and it has become even more important since she died. In a bizarre tradition, a tent or other area is set up in the town or village and there must be at least eight people sleeping throughout the trial. This is...
The climate in Almund during Saun was truly a vile thing. There was just enough rainfall to make the cobblestone streets muddy and caked in filth, but not enough to alleviate the sweltering heat nor the suffocating humidity. How anyone could stand to live in the midst of such atmospheric oppression...

Darius thanked the bailiff and watched as the man led Demba away. The Scalvorian hoped that would be the last he'd ever see of the pirate who had brought violence and death to the coast of Faldrass, confident that however the...
Woe had put out to his various contacts in Almund, starting with Navnea, who had a standing connection to the Pirate Lords that Woe was very well aware of. Apparently it was a small world. The father of her sons had been a crewman aboard...
It wasn't often that Rakvald was credited or accused of being one for discretion. And though he'd learned to some degrees to keep certain things under wraps, his mouth often enough got him into undue trouble due to his distinct lack of discretion. Still, he could be that...
Woe had visited the Almund black market earlier. Totally incognito, of course, covered by Kuvarakh's interdiction as well as his own mortalborn proclivity for relinquishing his personal identity. Sometimes it...
It had been two days since twenty five lost souls found their way into the Black Cat headquarters looking for help. Balthazar hadn't been able to look into anything yet and each break that passed made him feel like it was becoming more and more necessary for him to stay in Almund...
The sixth of Ymiden was not unlike the five trials that had come before it as far as the plan for Balthazar's trial went. He and the main trio leading the Black Cats were going to pick out a location and go repair it. Afterwards he planned on coming back to the headquarters and...
At The Prospect Tavern , Eldyn made his way to the front desk. He'd arrived via Port Diablo, as he couldn't risk being named on a log book in the harbor master's office. There were a share of expenses for arriving via the accursed Port Diablo,...
Holy shit. Robin said in a shocked tone as he and and Lyanna scurried from the room Balthazar and his guest were in. They moved exactly one door over and then entered another office and hustled to the wall adjacent to Balthazar's.

Balthazar had performed his investigation of the ships that had attacked Almund and he had sent information to Kura. She hadn't been able to act on it immediately, most of the past six trials had just...
The Bones was largely intact, as Balthazar would find. If the mage was true to his word to Woe, he would arrive at the entrance to the Bones on the 5th of Ymiden. He found the exterior somewhat damaged, but mostly intact....

The snow storm was over and the costs had been counted, which meant that Kura was in the capitol at Almund, pouring over reports. Not just death tolls, though there was plenty of that, but of repairs...
Another trial in Almund meant a long break when he returned to Haven- or so Balthazar told himself. He kept a close watch on his echo scroll to Elisabeth but had received nothing imminent or worrying. Despite that, when he walked outside and saw the stains of death all over the city...
