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.

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....

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!
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...
Very much a victim of careful what you wish for , Vega had gone to speak to Kura and had told her just exactly what Vega thought of how the Scalvoris government - or more precisely, Kura - was handling this situation. Vega, being who she was, had opinions...
Woe startled on the lounger that he slept in, in the entertaining area of their Almund domicile. This was where for cycles, he’d sequestered Lacrima, and more recently their daughter. There, they carried on the work of The Bones, a fortune-telling business on the corner of the harbor district, and...

The brick walls felt oddly irregular, rougher than the last time Kotton had run his fingertips along their surface. The coarseness, however, was still invigorating to the touch. It reminded him that he was alive. It contributed to the reassurance that he could still feel and...
Woe entered the Council House, and needing no introduction to the receiving clerks who gated meetings with Kura and other councilors in residence, was nevertheless told that he could wait to see if the Albarech had time to see him.
He had several articles of interest to share with the leader of...

Part of Balthazar felt anxious about the distance he was going to bridge and test he was going to run. The rest of him remembered that it was the second trial of the season and he lived above a city of explosive juice. He had only waited as long as he had so that he had prepared...

Sometimes Balthazar wished that his magic journal was wrong. This was one of those times despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The tunnels existed. The stockpiles of weapons and poisons existed. What other fresh horrors would they find down in the dark beneath the streets...
It was late into the night on the first trial of the season and a duo clad in dark attire moved quickly across Almund carrying only necessary instruments within the black bags they wore across their backs. They had waited a little longer than the mage was comfortable with because...

Lyanna was getting a little further ahead of Balthazar on the trip back to their headquarters. He was moving carefully because he didn't want the explosive he was carrying to go off and she was moving quickly because she didn't want to be near it. It was volatile. He knew that much...
The Iron Maiden’s ship, the Unstoppable, was moored well beyond the docks of Almund. Perhaps owing to her wariness of being perceived as a conquering tyrant or usurper to he rightful authorities, or else prudent reticence, since agreeing to the idea of joining up as a Privateer (with caveats of...
What is it you hope to gain from this, Ralgar? the translator spoke in a low voice as the pair walked through Almund, wearing tribal furs and clothes that made them stand out far more than they would like. Yet they were proud Bro'ky'na. Dressing...
33 Saun 723
It was a strange time for Balthazar Black. He had begun to feel listless until he met with Winston. Then he'd been overwhelmed with ideas upon ideas that he had no real method of following through with. He'd gone back to working on simpler things in his time away from the office. Smoke...
In the middle of the first night of the new season portal lined with blue fire burned its way into existence with a loud searing sound in the center of the Black Cat Headquarters. The funnel of blue fire churned upon itself for a few trills without anything passing through either...
“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...

Woe gets his foot in the door of the Court of Miracles, and meets their recruiter. Potentially healing her curse of Vaelus and thusly offending Vhalar during his own season.

Still stationed in an alleyway several blocks from the Decked Halls, Kotton was in the presence of a man named Stanz who was knowledgeable enough about unarmed combat. Kotton’s pocket felt immensely light after having begun his evening, but it was all in good faith. He was...

Kotton had meant Stanz only a few days ago, but was already on the edge of his seat wanting more. The man outside the Decked Halls had offered his services on teaching Kotton how to fight only if he received some form of compensation in return. The young man, having been...

His mind was dead set on vengeance. Revenge filled the capsule that contained his emotions to the very brim. He was enraged, yet completely at peace, if that made any sense what with being a paradox. He knew what he needed to do and had planned everything out. The man was...

There was a particular smell in the air. It was putrid like a mix of skunk and cigarettes, like peony tossed in with the aroma of dirt. It made Kotton’s stomach flip more than once with the decree that there was a high probability that vomit would transcend up his esophagus and...
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...
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...
