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.
The Rebirth Cycle has Cylus (30 Trials) and then Ashan (123 Trials) which are open for you to play. All new threads from February 1st 2022 - May 31st 2022 should be timestamped within one of those two seasons.

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. You'll note that there are now separate...

This is an OOC thread with IC consequences. The purpose of this thread is:
To give PCs a place to contact the council.
To give Council members a place to put notices and announcements.
To give Council members a place where they demonstrate their...
Please Note: This is the overview and link map for this area of Scalvoris. For a full island link map please see this thread in the OOC forum. Thank you!
Almund has become a true cultural melting pot since Vhalar 716. Almost all races are represented here, although the greatest number of those...
Arc 721, 76th of Zi'da
The early morning fog had cleared, the white blanket rising to reveal the island of Scalvoris. It was never truly concealed, a dark shadow looming behind the mist, but Darius always preferred the clarity of an unhindered coastline.
It'd come to Woe's attention after arriving in Almund again, that there were people who had an eye out for him. He understood this, being a keen observer of human behavior. The reasons for their observing him might've run the gamut of political rivals, to admirers, to...
It was a dark and cold night in Zi'da, which was to say it was the same as any other night in Zi'da. There was little about the night to make it remarkable. No terrible storms or howling wind. It was quiet and it was dark. In the black silence, a cloaked figure seemed to hover across...
Before anyone had a chance to pester him, or beg him for this or that, or to get after him to pursue the investigation he was currently pursuing, Woe sought some alone time in the small hours of the morning on the steps of the...
Woe was ready for a day of taking care of his animal, and training it up to standard. He wore a wrist-length and knee-length flaxen brown tunic. His breeches were of wool fabric with flaxen inner lining. They were loose-fitting and colored forest green, tucked into...
Timestamp: 2nd of Cylus, Arc 722
Location: The Glass Tree, Almund
Cad had never really been one for religion.
That in itself was strange considering that he was a mortalborn. His very existence was direct proof of the Immortal's influence on the world. Though perhaps, in a strange way, that...
Balthazar and the squire sat down at a table in O'Rourke's Tavern. The Pie Shop. Mad O'Rourkes Dun Cow Pie Shop. It had many names depending on who were talking too but it was one of the better places to eat in Almund. The staff were a little eccentric but it drew attention away from...
Even in Cylus, the Almund Bazaar was a bustling scene. Much of it was covered over by a great awning, to ward off the worst of the wind's chill, while bonefires were lit here and there to warm the various merchants and their customers. Despite all of this, however, there was...
Balthazar and Robin stood in the dark outside a shop that hadn't been open in a little while. They'd shown up too late into the night and the shop was empty when they arrived. Balthazar had just told Robin about what happened with the Elements. He told him about what he had done and...
In the darkness of the basement a girl wrung her hands and cast a hopeful gaze between the two figures. Hyde stroked his stubbled jaw slowly as the woman wept her story onto his floor. The young girl, for she could not have been older than eleven or twelve, was tearfully...
Reports were coming in from all across Scalvoris but nowhere did it seem there was more chaos than the Element Hall in Almund. Not twenty four breaks ago an ice storm had ravaged the islands and very shortly before that the people were terrified...
Two Flame Troopers stood side by side on the Almund docks, looking out into the dark of the night at the ships on the black horizon. When they heard what was happening, they had come as quickly as they could. It was not the fully company he had to train but one who was the most...
Wisp sat on the edge of a ceiling beam sipping a thimble of rich hoppy beer and sloshing its contents as she sang along with the crowd. A stolen bowl of soup and buttered breadcrumbs sat beside the happily munching Tunawa. While Tunawa didn’t need to eat, Wisp was cold to the...
Following the War of Slags Deep, after everything that had happened, the Council met on the 1st Vhalar 721 in a changed Scalvoris. Now, with Induks and the exit of the darkness which had hung over Scalvoris for arcs, there were new challenges.
The double breasted door was a poor collar to the stone and wooden wall to her left. She stood at the threshold of Hyde and Seek , staring back along the long wall of shop doors she'd followed. The stone was merely the sea upon which the old ship structures rocked. Perpetually...
It was far from the first time that Balthazar had been sitting in an office in Almund's Element Hall but he didn't normally feel as nervous about it as he did on the fourth of Vhalar. He'd gone to the Council meeting a few trials prior and while many who saw what he'd done would...
A corner of one of the less affluent areas of Almund, far outside the usual patrols of the Element Troopers. Here is the territory of the up-and-coming mercenary group that borders on being a gang, or a vigilante group, doling out street justice and racketeering with equal frequency....
Catalina 'Raynarde' DeFoe was sitting, looking at the other 'patrons' in Mad O'Rourkes, Almund. She had in front of her a mug of ale and she lounged back in her chair, watching. The young Biqaj lifted one leg, clad in thigh-high black leather boot over her skin tight black...
The light was weak but present, this far into Saun there was no night to be had. Almund lay as quiet as it got, which all thing considered was not very. The occasional yell, be it of pain, anger, high spirits or any other emotion still split the air. Songs were sung as...
Life on Faldrass had not been what Balthazar expected in any way. Leading a settlement was a challenge on its own, but it was even harder when you were what some would classify as a 'convicted criminal.' He hadn't been himself when he was being watched. That was what he told...
