This is the Expeditions, Exploration & Exchanges Board for Scalvoris. Please note the following OOC rules.
The notices on this board are very varied ~ from rumours (which might be completely true or wildly inaccurate) to spaces on scientific expeditions, exploration of new territories or exchanges with the Viden Academy.
Each item on this board has a location ~ some of these are not in Scalvoris
Please reply to this post with the template below in order to claim the item.
When you have replied to this post, a Scalvoris Mod will update this post and yours to identify that you have been approved. Please do not start the thread until that happens
Due to the nature of the items on this board, they might have very specific requirements ~ check carefully.
All item may be completed as solos or collaboratively unless identified differently in the post
Each item will tell you how to claim the reward for completion.
When you have completed your thread(s), please post for review in the usual way (but note the point above)
Many of these opportunities can be used for Job Threads, if applicable. Please note ~ if you are going to use this as a job thread, it must meet the criteria for that as well as the specific criteria for the item itself.
Some expeditions may be "all expenses paid" - which means that you do not have to pay for any living expenses for the allocated time of the exploration! Please read the advertisement carefully and confirm with a Prophet of Viden, Rynmere or Scalvoris, who will add this detail to your Player Notes Thread.
Most explorations relevant to citizens of Scalvoris will be posted here, however it is always worth checking the Rynmere and Viden boards, so you don't miss out on other exciting opportunities!
If you have an idea for an expedition to Rynmere, Scalvoris or Viden that you don't see below but that would be so totally awesome then, whether it's for yourself or someone else, we would love to hear from you! please fill out the Expedition template below and add it to the Scalvoris Development Thread, or PM Pegasus or Whisper directly. Thank you!
Have fun!

Name: Scaltoth Flora & Fauna Item Type: Adventure Location: Scaltoth Jungle, Scalvoris Details: This area is largely unmapped and the flora and fauna mostly uncatalogued. That being the case the University is seeking individuals who will bring back samples of unknown flora and / or corpses (live specimens preferred) of the creatures of the Scaltoth OOC Requirements/ Notes: OOC Note: multiple threads required Hazard Level: Potentially high due to the nature of Scaltoth Timeframe: Ongoing Spaces: No limit Pay/ Reward: 10gn per flora. 30gn per fauna corpse (must be whole). 100gn per live specimen. Additional Info: Solo or collab.
Name: The Night Owl of Cylus Item Type: Exploration / Discovery / Legend Location: Throughout Scalvoris Details: Legends tell of a large black owl which is only seen in Cylus, when it comes down from its nests in the Scalvoris Mountains. Evidence of this creature existing, tracks or capturing a live and uninjured specimen of the creature. OOC Requirements/ Notes:Multiple threads required. These can be done individually or collaboratively. Self modded. Please PM a Scalvoris mod before beginning. Final thread may well need to be moderated. Hazard Level: Potentially high Timeframe: Ongoing - easiest in Cylus but could explore the mountains outside then. Spaces: Unlimited Pay/ Reward: The expedition is sponsored by the Academy: the PC will pay no expenses during the season this is undertaken. Pay for the job(s) varies, depending on skill etc. Additional Info:
Name: Culture Clash Item Type: Exchange Location: Scalvoris Campus (Viden Academy) Details: With the influx of varying cultures from all over Idalos, Scalvoris has become the epitome of a cultural melting-pot. Because of this, going to Scalvoris has a unique opportunity for people of a variety of careers, hobbies and interests (including linguists, minstrels and actors) to learn more and hone their skills by infusing their arts with the experiences of different cultures - without actually having to visit any of those cities! New arrivals to Scalvoris seem keen and willing to share their knowledge with the world. Anyone undertaking such an exciting journey will surely reap the benefits. OOC Requirements/Notes: None Hazard Level: Very Low Timeframe: Ongoing Spaces: Multiple (individual or group) Pay/ Reward: The expedition is sponsored by the University: the PC will pay no expenses during the season this is undertaken. This exchange does not offer any specific monetary value, though sharing our own skills with another will doubtless be rewarded gratuitously. Additional Info:
Name: History of the Pirate Isle Item Type: Exchange/ Job Location: Scalvoris Details: Historians required to investigate the history of Scalvoris, foscusing specifically on the pirate presence. Whilst the majority of this is likely to be regarding the pirate lords who held the island for one hundred arcs, interested scholars in Rynmere and Viden have found sparse evidence of a ship made from black wood which was said to be one of a group of three which made even the pirate lords tremble. Very little is written and nothing else has been forthcoming, therefore, the Academy / University are sponsoring a small team to investigate. OOC Requirements/Notes: None specifically Hazard Level: Medium / Potentially High Timeframe: Long term (might take multiple seasons) but episodic (so you can do other things too!) Spaces: Unlimited Pay/ Reward: 200gn per person on completion of final report. Additional Info: This is part of a longer term plot and is the begining of information gathering. That might be all that the pc does and partaking in this expedition does not mean you are signing up to anything else.
