Stronghold of education and learning, this fortress is in one of the coldest areas of Idalos and home to many knowledge seekers in a variety of disciplines. However, unknown to most, below the city are those who suffer for the sake of science. While all are welcome, not everyone will be treated as they expect.

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....
The Website: Standing Trials ( / ), referred to through the rest of this thread as the website , our website , the site , our site , Standing Trials , and Trials .
You: The person reading these words right now.

1. Could an Ellune join the rangers? I mean a guy that couldn’t feeze to death, would be a useful thing to have on your team, but still he’s not a native. Yes, given the relationship between the immortal creators of these two, the idea seems possible, but that doesn’t make it so.
Balthazar spent the rest of his trial after the omnivision demonstration with Doran by researching what they'd mentioned. Chemistry. It was easy to find books about chemistry in Viden when Balthazar asked others about it but it was harder to sort through the library on his own. He...
Llyr leaned back in his chair while he rested the book over his face. Feet on the table, he pretended to be asleep while he heard a librarian walk past. The sound of heels on polished floor got closer, then paused, then the woman grabbed the book and set it on the table with a...
Llyr walked into the classroom without looking at any of the students already seated. Unlike Arcana, at least the Lexicography class was fairly small by comparison. It felt almost cozy for how low the ceiling was. He ignored the murmured whispers. Did they not know he would be...
Llyr nervously bounced from heel to toe on his boots while he stared at the lecture hall in front of him. This time, he didn't wear his mask. He had even torn out his wings in hope to look a little more 'human' than usual. His halo dimmed, almost invisible for how he matched...
Llyr Llywelyn - or better known as West Wellin in the regards of what was to come - had been considering the experiment before him for some time. After a certain point, library books didn't assist in the furthering of his understanding. Nor did he believe that lectures or...
48 Ymiden 720
Balthazar had decided he was done scouting The Cold Shoulder for Empties now that the ghost had nearly killed him twice. It had too many minions for Balthazar to do anything discretely about it so while he valued the necklace Doran had lent him, he decided to return it before seeking...
The Halls of Ivy /gallery/image.php?album_id=13&image_id=302
Situated directly next to the dominating structure of the Viden Academy, the Halls of Ivy is a smaller building, not half as imposing, but it is one of exquisite beauty nonetheless. Carvings of scenes throughout Idalos' history adorn...
The Facility for Retrospective Analysis /gallery/image.php?album_id=13&image_id=299
The Facility of Retrospective Analysis is Viden's best-kept secret. Only a select few individuals work in the facility, and only a handful of others even know it exists. It is not knowledge that someone just...
The trial had come. The prophesied moment. The inevitable moment. Balthazar and his band of followers marched through the streets of Viden towards The Cold Shoulder with cruel intentions in their hearts. Balthazar wore pieces of his grave gold armor and did nothing to soothe his...
In the evening of the 45th of Ymiden, the son of Ziell was sitting at the desk in his study, dressed in comparatively comfortable clothes, reading and working on his research, as he often did. He had finally finished writing his...
The sun was just about to set when the son of Ziell entered his salon that was filled with tasteful furniture made of dark wood, for the most part. His servant, Elias, had told him that Namira, another employee of his, had...
Oh no, it isn't quite clear at all. You see, you say ether in one language, and it means ether in another, but in this other language, it might very well mean energy and who are we to say that the ancient texts have been recorded correctly. It's only our approximation that...
It was already afternoon when the son of Ziell finally returned to his apartment in the Obsidian Prism that trial. He had taught two classes, and then he had attended a rather lengthy staff meeting. He had only eaten a light meal...
“Are you ready, professor?” Taelis wanted to know, raised a pale eyebrow questioningly and smiled very lightly at the Mortalborn that stood opposite of him, in a relaxed stance. The blue-skinned, white-haired and white-eyed...
Once upon a time, Doran had been suspicious of magic. For almost four hundred arcs, he had not even considered becoming a mage as the price had seemed much too high, and most of the mages that he had met had been questionable...
