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 Hot Cycle has Ymiden (83 Trials) and then Saun (40 Trials) which are open for you to play. All new threads from June 1st 2022 - September 30th 2022 should be timestamped within one of those two seasons.
Please see Timekeeping for more information and reach out to a member...
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...

The Council, clearly in a state of transition, welcomed two new members last cycle - Woe Morandi and Zana Delroth. People are eager to see what the pair will do!
In addition, Linca, the representative from Havardr, has stepped down, leaving another hole on the...
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...
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 of noble reason, but often...
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.
The interior of the Merchant's Guild headquarters was far more lavishly decorated than Balthazar would have expected based on the exterior. Everything was finely crafted from the most unique substances but Balthazar could only tell some of that from a glance alone. Lyanna would have...
Woe had just gotten a message from his office in Egilrun, via echo box. After a long battle of wills with the obstacles thrown by North End Lodge's objection that another site of hospitality open up in such a minor town, The Onyx Hall had been built, it's interior decorated...
I hate meetings. Balthazar said in a low voice to Croft, Lyanna and Robin who'd come with him to the Council Hall for the Merchant Guild's meeting that trial. The rest of the company was back in Haven, minding their own while Balthazar and the three he trusted the most worked out...
We're here. Croft said in a low voice as he and Balthazar arrived at the site of the old Black Cats headquarters in Almund. It had been rebuilt to serve as general goods store for new arrivals. The prices were not the best in the city but newcomers wouldn't notice and the location...
The journey from Faldrass to Almund was almost always a short one for Balthazar thanks to Simula's flight. He still struggled to stay mounted in the air but the elements and the weather seemed to be on his side for the few trials he had to travel across the sea. By virtue of riding...
Of course, Cowle accepted Cormier's instruction on the fundamentals of Attunement, and what it meant to be an Attuner and mage more broadly. They spent much of the rest of the afternoon going over what was possible, what wasn't, and when. Right now, Cormier made it plainly...
Cowle stood in front of the lonely hut at the edges of the Witchwood. As he regarded the headstones and burial sites, he reflected that his kind had no place here. Their spirits weren't known to linger on in Idalos as far as he knew. And the crystals left behind were often as...
Scalvoris is a strange place for stranger folk, and you find you fit in comfortably enough. Your kind of breed, an illusion as it may be, isn't seen around the island often, but the natives disregard you with little concern. The acceptance of the natives to odd people taking up residence within...
The crisp air of Vhalar danced all around her, and for a brief flicker of time, Natalia was at peace. Something about the season always filled her with a certain nostalgia. Gone were the hot, hot trials of Saun – those could die a thousand deaths for all she cared – and the...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
