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.

Viden Academy Fitness Centre /gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=12602
Developed by Maebella
The Viden Academy Fitness Centre was opened in the 607th arc. It was originally considered as a potential on-campus site for Menochoros practitioners as the martial art had gained a sizeable number of...
The Academy Registry is located to the right of the main entrance of the building as you enter. None can miss it; it is undoubtedly one of the most frequented rooms in the entire building, visited by students, pupils, parents and staff alike for a whole host of...
18 Saun, 724
.
Kotton was sitting in his grandfather’s study, in his grandfather’s eloquent and elaborate house, surrounded by what seemed to be invaluable decor and even more priceless furniture. He felt if he even breathed on them wrong, they would turn into ash, so he held his breath for the...

Kotton threw back a swig of ale before flipping the mug over and pounding its rim into the wooden countertop in front of him. He had finished his second round but was still winning as far as he was concerned. He had already made himself accustomed to the rituals that were of...
Fortify your mind. The mortalborn thought to himself. He knew something of Yvithia’s capabilities, having dealt with at least one of her marked, and lived in the city for a time. He used his penchant for saying one thing and meaning another to apply them to his thoughts. Perhaps it would work. If...

The air was cold, far too cold for Kotton to sincerely admit comfort. Fortunately, he had attested to his chill just before embarking from the ship that had guaranteed him rights of shore against Viden. The coat was made of faux fox, thank his humanitarian piece of mind. After he...
Part of a Series:
Master Smith I
Master Smith II
Master Smith III
Rorom poured the molten pewter metal into the mold once it was set upright, it's channel dug so that it would flow easily into the specially shaped chamber that he'd be using...
The day after Rorom learned the rudiments of forming metal wire was spent finalizing the design plan of his eventual piece. They were getting closer to doing the actual work of a smith, and Rorom couldn't be more eager. Yet he knew he had a few...
From the first day of Rorom's training in the forge, he'd learned better to keep his worst impulses under check. It was still quite the challenge, particularly when it came to his interactions with water, and watching as metal was quenched in it....
The fishing was good this season. It was almost too good, and that made Rorom restless.
There was honor and dignity in a job well done, and certainly results played a part in that. Yet, more frequently Rorom had become somewhat jaded by the...
There is a buzz of excitement among the seamstresses, tailors and merchants of Viden; a shipment of exotic fabrics has come in and the shipment is much larger than had been expected! Some of these fabrics are very unusual indeed and there are many...
“With that being said, the Viden Academy will host an event in honor of Padraig Augustin and his resurrection of Treid this season, as you probably know. I’m grateful to all of you that have already decided to participate. And if...

Sitting on the dock of the bay , Darius stared out over the ice. A low fog rested over Synnefa Bay and attempted to conceal the Libertalia , but the brig was defiant, its topmast piercing the top of the white cloud and...
The cold that constantly surrounded Viden even in the Hot Cycle was the last thing on everyone’s mind. So much had happened in the last several cycles that had the entire city buzzing. Even Yvithia was talking about what...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=5217 4th Vhalar 720
From her first step out into the world, on 20th Ymiden, in Arc 716 , Faith had been focused. Focused on helping people, on understanding her place in the world and on knowing. Always on knowing. A few trials later she had met the man...

following: this
The information which had followed on from Padraig's research was only one of four aspects Faith wanted to explore. She considered them akin to the four legs of a table - the fact that Padraig had seen dragons in...
It was the Eve of Woe's birthtrial, or what he always supposed was his birth trial. The fifth, tomorrow. He was going to go screaming into his 34th arc on Idalos in spectacular fashion, by fighting against Fleaface, practicing...
In the earliest days of Saun, there was a balminess to the air of Viden. Something that Zemos hadn't seen since... well he'd never experienced weather this warm to his recollection, which was admittedly incomplete. He didn't know if the time before the White Void...
Aeodan stood and took count of the number of students gathering in the room before him. A twinge of panic coursed through his body, but he remained still as they filtered in, all adhering to the break schedule. His face remained passive, unimpressed by neither class size nor...
To any poisoner that had a mind for profitability or economics, the proposition that occurred to Zemos might've seemed daft. In truth, he did have a method to his madness. He was setting himself up to use a measure of Stain, in order to kill a hive of hornets. Why kill the...
Lonely-Hands, Lonely-Hands,
Trick or Teach? That is the question.
Make him confess his lessons Father!
So said the Egg, and Zemos had to agree, although he was less pessimistic about Mervani’s inclination toward harming his student. Afterall, he’d taken the step of initiating...
