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 .

When the inevitable pull of death claims the mortal body of a Videnese citizen, or that of a visitor to the city, the Memorial Services are very quick to remove the body and store it safely in their facility and prepare it for cremation. A very academically enlightened...
It was early… far earlier than the Talius heir could normally ever be found trudging through the most recent snowfall in the streets of Viden. Early enough, even, that dawn could only be just seen creeping over the grey-blue horizon, and light was...
Funded by the government, the Faction of Tienite Reavers, they are arguably the most popular faction in the entire Northern Region. Much of the reason for this is the beautiful sculptures of ice which the reavers create: they are able to sculpt anything at nigh...
Located within the city of Viden is an apothecary that helps the local people. Nestled into the business area of city, the shop is used to help those who need to the same medications refilled multiple times a cycle. The owner of the shop is an older...
A little-known brothel in the city, filled with women servicing both the landed gentry of the city and the lower-class population. The service is a highly discreet one, allowing multiple entrances and exits to the premises for customers to use. Staff here are all highly trained,...
The Tertiary Accommodation /gallery/image/20658/medium
Some students (namely those with careers or family in Viden) they may decide to stay in private accommodation For the vast majority, however, they chose to move into the accommodation offered specifically for those studying for their higher...
Given the nature of this thread, Istil will establish the timestamp in his post.
It was not often that the task of expulsion fell to Inquisitor Venser Rush himself, but in the midst of the Burning catastrophe and Istil's incompatibility with any of the other Seekers that sought to take over his...
This is the only forge in Viden (being that it is a relatively peaceful place with little need for weapons of a military nature. Whilst privately owned, is commissioned to do all of the work for the city's Rangers and Mariners as well as...
Viden is luck enough to play host to a number of troupes of travelling minstrels throughout the year. At least one troupe will remain for the winter period, when travel to and from the city is impossible. Most come to trade tales with the Prime Atheneum: scribes will record...
Whilst Viden is considered to be one of the bastion cities of enlightenment and civilisation, there are many things that happen in the city because they must, or because people refuse to let go of tradition. As such, some of the more questionable actions and displays can be...
A family-owned business, the Teviot family are by far the most successful and well known of the merchant class in the city. Residents and visitors to the arctic city of Viden cannot deny there is a flip-side to its beauty and wealth of knowledge....
However much the Directorate tries to control the consumption of alcohol within the city, they are against the concept of a prohibition and are keen to avoid the black market sales of drugs and alcohol. As such, they turn a blind eye to the goings on within the rooms of the...
Found half a day's ride (or a day's walk) north of the city, most of the clientele of the large building are Viden's workforce who operate beyond the city limits. With ease of access to the best hunting grounds in the tundra, many rangers opt to stay for a couple of nights...
The low moans that escaped the subject's lips were the first sign that Virikai received that the woman strapped to the table was awake. Completely naked, save the thin cotton cloth that covered her legs and lower torso, blood and scars marred a body that he...

Location: The Prime Atheneum
Raven’s pale blue right hand slid along the wooden top of the desk that she had been seated at, while her left sat beside the book that her white orbs were engrossed in reading. The woman’s...
Disconnected Connection
8th Trial of Ymiden, 715th arc
'At least I'm not that cold.' the woman thought, in response to the scornful words that echoed from back around the corner she had just turned. Once again, the natives of this city looked upon her with loathing... Loathing undoubtedly...
Stuck in a freezing cold room, Virikai cursed whatever menial worker was slacking off on his duties towards the upper classes. Did they not realise that they had certain obligations and responsibilities towards their betters? It was unbelievable that the Talius...
Near the beginning of Viden's creation, with the discovery of hot springs located two miles southwest of the city as it was being created, it wasn't long before the frozen inhabitants demanded the growing city be abandoned and moved to be closer to the natural warmth...
Located in one of the more affluent areas of the city, not all that far away from the Academy, all manner of Videnese and visitors to the city frequent The White Fox, its early opening hours meaning that it can attract business from merchants and customers alike as they decide to...
The existence of a Cell of Seekers in Viden is a dichotomous one. One the one hand, isolation has become the normal form of dealings amongst the faction. Once a very public and powerful organisation, the Fall of Arcanis has rendered the Seekers into a more...
The Viden Infirmary is, as the name suggests, a medical service in the city. Nigh on all staff working there have been trained through the Viden Academy's Institute of Science, though some come from other training establishments from...
The Prime Atheneum /gallery/image.php?album_id=13&image_id=301
The Atheneum is not just well known in the Northern Region, it is renowned throughout Idalos. Sizeable enough to be proportioned at approximately a fifth of the entire public areas of the Academy, the library’s catalogue of texts is...
The Eastern Garrison /gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=188
Arriving at the gate of the Eastern Garrison is a feat unto itself - the subarctic temperatures that no traveller can avoid makes the journey is long and dangerous. There is only one path into the city proper, as the land around...
