The shallow bay Egilrun is situated upon is used, these trials, for crafts and crafting. From boatmakers to weaponsmiths, glassblowers to metalworkers, the sound of hammers and saws can be heard almost every break of the trial, with crews working in shifts to produce the beautiful craftsmanship which they might, one trial, become famous for.
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...

23rd Break, 1 Cylus, Arc 720
North End Lodge, Egilrun, Scalvoris
secrets here
Polished wood floors reflected the candlelight that hung from chandeliers adorned with antlers and brass rings. The lobby of the North End Lodge looked exactly how one might have expected from the building...
Carver remembered his shoes this time. Bundled up in coat and scarf, he returned to the main area with a couple buckets of water and a pale look to his face. Around his darkened eyes, the skin looked...
First Trial of Cylus, Arc 720
Residential District, Egilrun, Scalvoris
Like all lovers, they spoke much of themselves, as if they might thereby understand the world which made them possible.

First Trial of Cylus, Arc 720
The Docks, Egilrun, Scalvoris
What is love after all but trusting in the unknown.
Marty Rubin
Cold. Death proved to be exceptionally cold. How he could feel his body when such frigid chill seeped through his bones, he could not understand. He could not...
Dorik sat at his outside table at the Lemon Messy, sipping at the rum and lime they'd made him. He'd been here most of the morning and it was near high noon now. He kept buying drinks and small bites to eat, so the management wasn't about to boot away a customer, even one who was...
In fairness seafaring had never been considered in all his travels - he’d thought his settlement in Rharne permanent. Shl’Drei had managed to convince a crew to let him tag along for a trip to Scalvoris. Why? If he was honest he didn’t know, but it felt too.. Homey in...
It was a chilly evening over Egilrun as Dorick made his way down to the mercantile district of town. His coinpurse was heavier than it was seven days before when he was let out of Slags Deep, and he had an itch for some fun. Plus he could always use some more. He was in a simple...
Paranoia vexed Kalortah terribly, days after his arrival in Egilrun. The dark of Cylus not having yet passed, he felt some measure of security. Afterall, he’d arranged to meet that apefish in Ashan. It didn’t occur to him until a few days into his arrival at Egilrun, that she might...

And so, Maxine found herself on the other side of the portal, standing before the gates of Egilrun. From her position, she could see the road that would lead to Slags Deep up in the nearby mountains. Two guards were...
Dorik ducked as the haymaker fwooshed by overhead, throwing an underhanded jab into the man's ribs. The men and women circled around them were cheering and jeering at the two men that were fighting. Dorik stepped back as the dockworker's ham sized fist crashed into the side of his...
Simple enough. Go in, beat the cunt, get out. You hear me?
Lonan kept his gaze forward at the man who would be his opponent, lightly armed but quick. At least that was how he appeared. He gave a simple nod at Craos' question, not often one for words, as one of the other fights...
Dorik passed the Bugberry joint to one of the other dockworkers, keeping the mild high going. Bugberry was fairly tame overall, like drinking beer to stay hydrated between bottles of rum. Plus, it was good for sharing, cheap and easy. It was technically illegal, but Dorik rolled...
Dorik and Claudia were out walking through the town, arm in arm. She was leaning into them, as they'd just left dinner from the Lemon Messy, and she'd had a small amount of wine. Nothing too much, but for a small woman like her, who didn't drink much, it made her tipsy. Plus any...
Dorik awoke from his deep, but brief slumber. And he felt great. It had been so long since he'd slept so well, even if it felt like it had only been a few hours. That wasn't a big deal, down in Slags, you got used to not sleeping long, for fear of having your...
Dorik slipped out into the night, not looking back at Claudia's shop as he went. She'd still be there for him, no need to let her see him looking. She might confuse that for affection, and Dorik couldn't have that. It was still chilly out, and he cursed himself...
Dorik was whistling a tune from when he was younger, the same song he’d heard in a tavern all those years ago. It was the last time he’d been with a woman, well, outside of Slag’s Deep, they didn’t count as women down there. He rem embered her face clearly, though her name was a...
Dorik was out back of the Lemon Messy, talking to Jenji, who he'd met earlier in the season. He looked at the boy incredulously, You're tellin' me that you're of age, an' you've never got your dick wet? A good lookin' guy like you? The boy laughed, I'm not exactly good at talking...
Sitting on the north bank of the river, powered by a large water wheel and on the western side of Egilrun sits the Mill. Every break of the trial, the wheel turns and inside there are a number of large grinding machines which mill wheat...
Please note: As of Rebirth 720, Slags Deep closed it's doors. What is going on in there is not known, but please see this post for some explanation. This location is closed. The Warden disappeared at that time and may not be played.
From the outside, the Watcher's Union Headquarters appears to be a warehouse, a square high-vaulted building with a large entrance in the front to allow for the movement of pallets and wagons in and out. Once one passes through...

A large pavilion adjoins one of the barracks-like living tenements near the beach. Situated in the main mercantile center of Egilrun, where travelers and locals go to lose their money for some trinket or other, it beckons to any who feel tempted to try...
The Lemon Messy is built from the roof down out of the broken down hull of a large, old ship that ran aground in a storm on the coastline near Egilrun some years back. The hull was patched up with whatever resources they could find and turned...
