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 .

Crystal Lake is located deep in the Sweetwine Woods. It's waters are so clear that not only can you see all the way down to the bottom of the lake, but they also reflect their surroundings when the sun is out. On clear nights when the moon and stars...
Whispers of a magical water in Sweetwine Woods that causes sleep are lightly sprinkled all around Scalvoris, from Almund to Egilrun and in between. Word has it that if you drink the water, you'll be forced into a deep sleep, never to awaken again unless you have something the lake...
The air was warm, but the water of Ol’ Tuck’s Run still bore traces of Cold Cycle chill. Oram gasped as he splashed it on his face; after the initial shock, however, he rocked back onto his haunches and grinned. This balmy weather was a welcome relief from...
Kal found himself on a stage. It shifted and changed and there, suddenly, he felt the wind blowing against him and he could see that there was the open ocean behind him.
His way out, it seemed, was sealed. His choice made.
Jasper looked at them as they stepped forward. He listened to the first one speak, Ari'sora, and one eyebrow raised. She explained that she had no helpful skills, could make no decisions of her own, and would have a...

121st Ashan, 721
/gallery/image.php?album_id=353&image_id=10106 Alison looked at them, this group of hers, and she nodded, once. They were all here, all apparently keen and none of them irritating her already. That was good. They...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=353&image_id=14540 Migh noted that only three of them stepped forward, but he didn't seem concerned by that at all. They had all checked their equipment and discovered some strangeness....
/gallery/image/19494/medium Sweetwine Song! A haunting melody is heard from Sweetwine Woods - rather like all the animals are singing at once. Will anyone investigate?
Bao walked around the forest with excitement, the red panda practically hopping over to the various flowers as he sniffed with excitement, the star turtle taking off and leaving a small...
Shl'drei had lost track of the multitude of trials he spent cooping Liam and Leora inside the small room in Scalvoris Town. They were both grumpy, understandably so - but he kept them in line the best he could despite the obvious foul mood they had taken to. Leora had taken to...
It felt good to enjoy sunshine once more. Chin tilted up, Yeva hummed in relaxation while the sun's rays kissed her freckled cheeks. It was a mild day, at least compared to the temperatures that had been plaguing Scalvoris since she arrived and the young woman had no intention of...
Nicholas knows he should leave the mysterious notebook alone. He knows there should be a reason why his house (a good house) was abandoned in a rush. And, for sure, the boy knows that going to Sweetwine Forest for a secret herb garden is just stupid. But hey...He had a day off.
Nicholas is an early bird (joke intended) as his whole life had been spent in the family's giant garden. From early morning to the very dawn he was used to digging around the earth, planting, pruning, and more. Now, as he lives in Scalvoris, there's one-tenth of what...
When Oram first saw the doe he thought nothing of it. The deer was hardly the first critter to have watched him curiously while he was building and setting his traps; sometimes that very curiosity even helped lure those same animals into his snares, albeit his...
Oram was sure that the strange gray rock by his fire pit had not been there the night before. It was about a cubit across, with a wrinkled surface unlike the other rocks in the area. And when the hunter approached to examine it more closely, it moved. Stout, clawed...
…you make me feel as though the Rebirth Cycle has…rebirthed.
18 Ashan 720
The site was a sodden mound of partly-melted slush, just taller than Oram’s head. Oram reckoned that most of the snow had slipped off of the overhanging rock mere trials before; had he returned to reestablish his...

Hidden away in the Sweetwine Woods is a private sanctuary. It is close enough to the city to be within easy walking distance, but far enough to give the sense of privacy. The beautiful house is surrounded by two acres of land.

Deep in the heart of the Sweetwine Woods lays a clearing. That clearing has existed as long as the forest has. Within that clearing is a strangely twisted tree. It is an ancient tree; it is said that it is the very first tree to grow in the...
ooc: Ooc: Wealth thread for Cylus. Oram goes to his campsite in the granite outcropping near the head of Ol’ Tuck’s Run. Two factors contribute to his eagerness: rumors that animals are unusually active there for the season, and rainbow fur.
Oram frowned glumly as he ran his hand over Wether’s shorn coat, and the goat looked up at him with quiet, wounded pride. His other goat would have been complaining loudly about this indignity, and Oram half-wished that Wether would show some spirit and kick up a...
Kirei gave a contented huff as she settled down on the ground. Kirion and Maerin sat on the floor beside her. Her adopted son sat watching her alertly, waiting for her to tell him which book she wanted to read while Maerin sat...

18th Trial of Saun, Arc 718
Early morning was a brief respite from the worst of the Saun heat, but Luca could tell it was going to be another scorching trial. The young Element guard sheltered within the shadows of Scalvoris Town's Southeast gate...
It was still early, the sun barely creeping over the horizon as Kesindir stepped out of his tent and stretched. He winced slightly and inhaled as the pain in his arm reminded him of the ordeal that had happened not two ten-trial ago. The Day of Remembrance....

Through the middle of Sweetwine Woods, like a great, silver serpent winds the river known affectionately by all on Scalvoris as Ol' Tuck's Run. It is a shallow, boulder strewn river, 5-6 meters at its deepest points....

Tucked away in the southern end of the Sweetwine Woods is an unassuming lake, filled with many fat fish, with a lazy run off that connects to the eastern coast of Scalvoris. And looming over this lake is a steep, sheer cliff...
