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 .

The Cargo Awyr passed into what the captain guessed, going by the differences in the buildings, was a different territory from the last one. The caption of the sky ship, a Hyludin man named Cynwrig, was a representative of the Sovereign....
It was Concert Night in the Eternal Empire and Balon was living in a world not unlike the one in his dreams. The rest of the band, including Ulric, were less enthusiastic about the imperial holiday. It seemed like a chance for trouble and petty problems. Then again that was only...
You’re early,” Maxine observed Mortimer with a yawn. Her Barghest companion loyally trotted at her side. You do know there’s no light to waste during Cylus?”
”No light to waste, but there is time to,” the dying man countered cautiously. He smiled at her arrival. ”I admit I was afraid you’d be a...
They were on the move again. Fagan had done all he wished to do, met with all he'd wanted to, ferreted out every potential deal and favor and arrangement he could that would benefit their homeland. Ashan had proven a boom to that agenda; Cylus was a season of silence...
The suns had returned, and like every Ashan, Kasoria indulged himself. He'd always done so. Finding reasons or just excuses to put himself outside for a few breaks at at time. He knew many did the same. Humans were not just creatures who were...

The First Imperial Summit
91st of Zi'Da
The Imperial Palace was about as disorganized as it ever got, which was to say, still not very disorganized at all. Yet the arrival of foreign dignitaries and petitioners had created something of a stir in the capitol of the...
He decided that practicing in his room wouldn't be a good idea. Not when experimenting with a spell that could send him headfirst through the ceiling. So, of course, the gardens came to mind. He'd come to enjoy them, over the last season. They'd become regular and...
The man with the shaking hand holding the quill looked up from his paper to the stranger. He blinked at Maxine. The paper shook where he balanced it on his knee. His penmanship was equally quivering, no letter's line straight like it should've been as far as the intruding...
Maxine shifted in her saddle. She’d hated the trek through Cahryst and it’s treacherous forest. Everything seemed alive and prepared to strike, making the labor done by the Band all that more daunting. This portion of the caravan’s journey required a constant state...
He knew exactly how much the sword weighed. Which wasn't to say he knew the amount. He knew how much it strained his muscles when he swung it. He knew how heavy it felt before a spar or duel or battle, and after. Mask his eyes and place a...
Thaldan looked out of his wagon at the darkness of Cylus. He made a face at the perpetual twilight wishing it wasn’t so cold and dark. He glance back to the center of the wagon where a card game was currently going on. Handel,...
Maxine was still getting used to this new solitude. For the last season, she'd been getting used to constant company instead. Becoming a member of Kasoria's merry Band of misfits protecting the Etzori Delegation had been a singular experience, but...
Korlasir was, Kasoria mused, a city made for Cylus. Black stone was everywhere, from the cliff face to the walls to the floors and the peaks of spires. Looking out from his window, he could see countless lamps and fires and torches blazing as the city endured the...

1 Cylus 723
Afternoon
Continued from here .
A morning soak in the Imperial Baths turned into a most unexpected reunion. No sooner had she been vacating the location did the familiar sound of heavy, clawed feet and humorous panting command her attention. When she felt...

1 Cylus 723
Early Morning
Maxine had never been a morning person. A hard party life had beaten her into a creature of the night, and the sunlight that came with dawn always brought on the self loathing and brutal hangover that followed the night's debauchery. Famula's...
Erryn... did not know a lot of things. He didn't know how to cook, he didn't know how to fly, and he didn't know how to ride. He'd work on the first at a later date, he was pretty sure he'd never do the second, but the third... When Erryn had joined the legion, they'd asked him which branch he...

Side thread of the Summit, continued from here .
91st of Zida, 722
If Sam thought her hair was like the golden rays of Dithlánis peaking through the cloud cover of dawn, then Zana's smile was like Eyrith during the red trials of Saun; a brilliant warmth that...
Maxine hovered over her empty mug at the tavern like a dog over a cleaned bone. Her lithe shadow cast its small darkness over the little real estate she occupied where she sat. Ithecals that dwarfed her stomped in droves outside in the streets,...
Thaldan was moving about his wagon securing it against the cold. He stood outside the wagon as he finished unpacking the last of the blankets that would become one of his warmth staples. They we simple blankets made from left over strips of...
The shadows under the Imperial Palace hadn't been making any aggressive moves or the like, but they had attracted curiosity and attention, and so people had come to investigate the matter. They'd...
