Welcome to the Cold Cycle 721. Every Cycle in Standing Trials runs over four real life months and has two in-character seasons. The Cold Cycle has Vhalar (123Trials) and then Zi'da (93 Trials) which are open for you to play. All new threads from October 1st 2021 - January 31st...
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...

Date: 35th of Saun, 721
Location: Ruins within Anox's Folly, Eastern Hotlands
Falkia Brennan walked through the crumbling hallways to the room where her Lord and his allies had gathered. There was a sense of oppressing gloom to the ruins that the Aukari woman did not care for, a sense that...
Date: 35 of Saun, 721
Location: Undergroun Caves, Augiery Region
It was dark, which was to be expected. Caves usually were dark, after all. But this was an oppressive, threatening sort of darkness that felt like the shadows themselves were malicious and threatening. Fortunately, the five people...
Date: 35 of Saun, 721
Location: Mountains outside Uthaldria
There was a light drizzle coming out of the sky above, not enough to be called a rain, but definitely enough to make your clothes damp, but other than that, it seemed a perfectly peaceful day, if one ignored the elaborately carved door...
Date: 35 of Saun, 721
Location: The Heart of the World, Near Sirothelle
Cyrus, Kisaik, Tei'serin, Nathan
The sky above was overcast, though not from natural clouds. The peak of the volcano was billowing thick black clouds of smoke into the sky, darkening the area around it. Thus, when the four...
Date: 35 of Saun, 721
Location: Ghost Burho, Yaralon
It was a cloudy day in Yaralon, and it made the weather reasonably cool for Saun, but there was another factor giving the area a chill. Even those who couldn't normally sense ghosts could tell the area they were in was outright flooded by the...
Date: 35 of Saun, 721
Location: Outside the Labyrinth, Rynmere
The sky above the mountains was threatening, as if it were about to rain. Fortunately, the five people who found themselves called to the mountains appeared under an overhang. If they were observant, though, they would realise it was...
Date: 35 of Saun, 721
Location: Alleyway in Gleam, near the Temple of the Wounded God
It was bright out still, the sun still shining high in the sky above, but the alleyway they found themselves had an air of darkness about it regardless, for all that the buildings around it were quite nice. The...
Zana and Arlo had looked and listened to what they had been told, and they had not believed it. Nor did they believe the new voice, nor the geese. All seemed, to them, liable to lead them further into a trap and they had no desire to cooperate with what they saw as their kidnappers. But they were...
As Enrick and Rabu entered the portal leading into the Trial of the Balanced, that Hector had entered previously, they'd find themselves instantly being assaulted by a storm of the natural elements. Water, wind, earth, fire, lightning, ice, dust, lava, and everything in...
And so, Hart slumped into the Trial of the Blind with all the enthusiasm of a damp towel. The first thing he would notice upon arrival was absolutely nothing. All around him was nothingness. He could see nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing, smell nothing, taste nothing. He...
And so, Praetorum and Luther, limbs entwined like the most voracious of lovers, entered the Trial of the Sated. All around them was darkness, though in the distance was a figure, half transparent, glowing and brimming with ethereal power, as a stream of purple...
And so, the adventurers of Kisaik, Vega, and Chuckles, who you've all met because Vega is impeccably polite about introducing him, entered the Trial of the Scared. Directly at their back was the slightly shrinking portal they'd stepped through. Before them was a hallway...
The moment following Zarik's stepping into the portal, he'd find himself in a world of total and utter darkness, as far as he could see, feel, and sense in any fashion. There was nothing. True and absolute nothingness. If he looked down at himself, he'd see that his...
And so, Thysbae, or rather, Adora, adventured into the Trial of the Together.
And he did not venture in alone, for the man only known as Soldier decided to take up Adora's offer to stay with him. So Soldier followed. As the pair arrived, they'd find themselves first, in quite a...
For those without Sparks, the Call had been a most agonizing experience. And for three of them, they awoke in a world of muted greys and sounds. Sybil Malach, Loque, and Arlo Creede were all in an unceremonious heap, next to a roaring fire in a fireplace. The heat...
Of the many people around the world who had disappeared, a few would find themselves waking in a stone hallway. There were fifteen total people, of a mix of men and women, high and low class, of varied races. Of those fifteen, three found themselves waking up near to one...
Once he was pulled into his door, Cervantez would find himself in a world only dimly lit by an unknown source. He appeared to be in a valley between two mountains, with trees stretching the distance before him, as well as behind them. These were no ordinary trees, nor...
Of the many people that disappeared around the world, several would find themselves waking in room carved from stone. Tall, vaulted ceilings, smooth columns, and stone seating on tiers, all growing outward from a glowing statue in the center. There were hundreds of the...
For those without Sparks, the Call had been a most agonizing experience. And for three of them, they'd find themselves waking up in dark, damp, and cold place. So dark. Light was completely absent down here, and sounds were scarce. A drip of water here, a bit of creaking...
For those without Sparks, the Call had been a most agonizing experience. And for three of them, they'd find themselves waking up in what could only be described as a dusty closet, albeit one large enough to fit the three in a small heap of overlapping limbs and body parts....
Praetorum found himself in a world of nonsense. There was colored light, all colors, as far as the eye could see, in all directions. Praetorum would find himself standing upon a narrow road, made of... purple. It didn't appear to have substance, but it was very...
For those without Sparks, the Call had been a most agonizing experience. And for three of them, they'd find themselves waking upon the deck of a ship. And not simply any ship, but a ship that was quite familiar to one of them. It was the Windrunner. And the world around...
Throughout the world, in the middle of the trial, the Call rang out.
It started in Quacia, Yaralon, and Viden, emanating from underground beneath the cities. The majority of people never even noticed this. But for those who did, it came in waves, in pulses. At first, they were...
So, as per this link , we had a vote. Once the votes were in, there was a majority vote for It was a dream . Now, that in and of itself of course poses some problems - and it was a very tight vote. So, this is what we've come to.
