Almund is a thriving township with a dark side. With houses made from the wooden bodies of decommissioned ships, there are many opportunities here, coupled with many dangers.

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....

Woe had just gotten a message from his office in Egilrun, via echo box. After a long battle of wills with the obstacles thrown by North End Lodge's objection that another site of hospitality open up in such a minor town, The Onyx Hall had...
We're here. Croft said in a low voice as he and Balthazar arrived at the site of the old Black Cats headquarters in Almund. It had been rebuilt to serve as general goods store for new arrivals. The prices were not the best in the city but newcomers wouldn't notice and the location...
The journey from Faldrass to Almund was almost always a short one for Balthazar thanks to Simula's flight. He still struggled to stay mounted in the air but the elements and the weather seemed to be on his side for the few trials he had to travel across the sea. By virtue of riding...
Of course, Cowle accepted Cormier's instruction on the fundamentals of Attunement, and what it meant to be an Attuner and mage more broadly. They spent much of the rest of the afternoon going over what was possible, what wasn't, and when....
Cowle stood in front of the lonely hut at the edges of the Witchwood. As he regarded the headstones and burial sites, he reflected that his kind had no place here. Their spirits weren't known to linger on in Idalos as far as he knew. And the...
Scalvoris is a strange place for stranger folk, and you find you fit in comfortably enough. Your kind of breed, an illusion as it may be, isn't seen around the island often, but the natives disregard you with little concern. The acceptance of the natives to odd people taking up residence within...
The crisp air of Vhalar danced all around her, and for a brief flicker of time, Natalia was at peace. Something about the season always filled her with a certain nostalgia. Gone were the hot, hot trials of Saun – those could die a thousand...
Even in Cylus, the Almund Bazaar was a bustling scene. Much of it was covered over by a great awning, to ward off the worst of the wind's chill, while bonefires were lit here and there to warm the various merchants and their customers. Despite...
Woe was ready for a day of taking care of his animal, and training it up to standard. He wore a wrist-length and knee-length flaxen brown tunic. His breeches were of wool fabric with flaxen inner lining. They were loose-fitting and...
It'd come to Woe's attention after arriving in Almund again, that there were people who had an eye out for him. He understood this, being a keen observer of human behavior. The reasons for their observing him might've run the gamut of political rivals, to admirers, to...
It was a dark and cold night in Zi'da, which was to say it was the same as any other night in Zi'da. There was little about the night to make it remarkable. No terrible storms or howling wind. It was quiet and it was dark. In the black silence, a cloaked figure seemed to hover across...
Timestamp: 2nd of Cylus, Arc 722
Location: The Glass Tree, Almund
Cad had never really been one for religion.
That in itself was strange considering that he was a mortalborn. His very existence was direct proof of the Immortal's influence on the world. Though...
Balthazar and the squire sat down at a table in O'Rourke's Tavern. The Pie Shop. Mad O'Rourkes Dun Cow Pie Shop. It had many names depending on who were talking too but it was one of the better places to eat in Almund. The staff were a little eccentric but it drew attention away from...
Balthazar and Robin stood in the dark outside a shop that hadn't been open in a little while. They'd shown up too late into the night and the shop was empty when they arrived. Balthazar had just told Robin about what happened with the Elements. He told him about what he had done and...
In the darkness of the basement a girl wrung her hands and cast a hopeful gaze between the two figures. Hyde stroked his stubbled jaw slowly as the woman wept her story onto his floor. The young girl, for she could not have been older than eleven or twelve, was tearfully...
Reports were coming in from all across Scalvoris but nowhere did it seem there was more chaos than the Element Hall in Almund. Not twenty four breaks ago an ice storm had ravaged the islands and very shortly before that the people were terrified...
Two Flame Troopers stood side by side on the Almund docks, looking out into the dark of the night at the ships on the black horizon. When they heard what was happening, they had come as quickly as they could. It was not the fully company he had to train but one who was the most...
Wisp sat on the edge of a ceiling beam sipping a thimble of rich hoppy beer and sloshing its contents as she sang along with the crowd. A stolen bowl of soup and buttered breadcrumbs sat beside the happily munching Tunawa. While Tunawa didn’t need to eat, Wisp was cold to the...
The double breasted door was a poor collar to the stone and wooden wall to her left. She stood at the threshold of Hyde and Seek , staring back along the long wall of shop doors she'd followed. The stone was merely the sea upon which the old ship structures rocked. Perpetually...
It was far from the first time that Balthazar had been sitting in an office in Almund's Element Hall but he didn't normally feel as nervous about it as he did on the fourth of Vhalar. He'd gone to the Council meeting a few trials prior and while many who saw what he'd done would...

A corner of one of the less affluent areas of Almund, far outside the usual patrols of the Element Troopers. Here is the territory of the up-and-coming mercenary group that borders on being a gang, or a vigilante group, doling out street justice and...
Catalina 'Raynarde' DeFoe was sitting, looking at the other 'patrons' in Mad O'Rourkes, Almund. She had in front of her a mug of ale and she lounged back in her chair, watching. The young Biqaj lifted one leg, clad in thigh-high black...
