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.

1 Cylus 720
Following a tumultuous season in which Balthazar found himself frequenting the Element Hall as well as the various brothels and taverns of Almund, Balthazar had come to the conclusion that he could be of service to the Elements. This conclusion was marred only by his recent failures...

Initiate me into Defiance. Isabella countered as she poured water from a jug into a kettle. Balthazar shook his head.
That's not fair. That initiation kills more initiates than it converts. Attunement it's nearly as dangerous. Balthazar countered as he took a seat at the table....
9 Cylus 720
Balthazar sat across from Isabella with his legs crossed. She, who had chosen to wear a black dress with dark purple accents to the occasion, sat with her knees folded in front of her. She was nervous and though Balthazar was...
'I'll look into it.' Balthazar said confidently before taking his leave of Nellies' Brothel. - Nellies' Girls: Brute Squad (1)
17 Zi'Da 719
Balthazar sat in the Buckle & Chain tavern, eyes scanning the crowd for the man who's scar had given him away as the brute responsible for beating...
'Unfortunately for you, I don't have any evidence... yet.' Balthazar knelt down and grabbed Scar-face by his shirt. 'So I'm going to get a confession.' - Nellies' Girls: Brute Squad (2)

There had certainly been easier investigations than the one Balthazar found himself...
17 Zi'Da 719
An ill-fated visit to the Element's Hall had revealed two things to Balthazar. The first and less important of the two things he learned while there was that the military of Scalvoris had elected to use the elements as categories for their ranks and were not actually comprised of a...
We no go back. The Mer hissed as she dragged the Biqaj through the water, blood streaking like a trail behind them. Now it began to throb near her hand, the salt water soothing and stinging it in equal measures. It distracted her enough to...

The City Council of Scalvoris can be found in the Scalvoris Council Halls. The word Halls is correctly in the plural as there are a number of buildings, spanning across a small bridge spanning the river which winds through...
Enrick and the boys had all finished their usual routine down at the docks of Almund, and resigned to spend the rest of their evening playing The Four as it were. C'mon Enrick, y' know ya ain't got anythin' worth holdin' on t'! One of the other three...

Dammit! Get off of me feather-brain!
It had been five days now since Tio had received the blessing of Tarouz; a set of intricate wing styled tattoos on his forearms that he swore seemed to rustle in the...

22nd of Ymiden, 710
Emelia knew she was pretty.
Her mom told her so, the boys, grandma’s, and the older girls did the same. The girl even knew those that teased her were just jealous, and she didn’t blame them. But in her entire life not a single...
Smoke filled the bedroom with the rich scent of bug berry-laced tobacco. At the windowsill, Llyr absently looked over the shipwrecked homes of the Scalvoris district. An occasional flicker of candlelight, the cross of a shadow in a window frame, the sound of a...

It never mattered that they lived in what some of the richer folk from Scalvoris proper would say, or even those who hoarded coins like the fabled pirates, was squalor. It was comfortable. Her mother made dresses pretty enough that...
Terrifying but beautiful and it's beauty consumed everything around it, leaving nothing but husks in it's wake. The bards in the taverns she flitted around for compliments and free coin always sang poetic songs of beauty that could...
Anos was returning from yet another successful bounty, and rubbing at his temples. The odd vision he seemed to get when gazing into people's eyes had returned again, and he had nearly killed the thief before he got himself under control. Whatever the matter was with him, he needed...

The moaning woke her. At first she thought it was Ashan, her new daughter was prone to nightmares involving her brother, but she was curled up in Korvas stomach like any other night. Her soft snores were almost...
Nalin looked at Lavender, she had been crying all trial and the trial before that. They had been sitting in their bed almost the entire time. He just sighed and pat her head. Petting her slowly trying to help her calm down, words weren't going to...
The boy woke up, looking around the room that was his own. It was already bright, and hot. He heard the front door close quietly. Mom, off to work. Dad was already gone for the day. Business as usual. He slipped out of bed, got dressed, and grabbed his bags.

Location: The Buckle and Chain
A place much like the Buckle and Chain had a few resemblances to Rharne but in mixed quantities, the bar itself was a stellar setting quite similar to home but the company however... they were more fitting of...
He'd known this would be coming for a while now; ever since the end of Cassion's Gambit. Yet a little part of him had still hoped that it might never come.
Tio looked at the reflection of his back in the mirror, or more...

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...
