October 11, 2024 Something is happening in the Scorched Wilds. There is a battle raging between a familiar force and an unfamiliar one. What will you do? Help or hinder?

October 1, 2024 Spooky things are happening as the afterlife start walking among the living once again.

September 30, 2024 Louve Dieudonné manages to keep Wolfbron Bluffs in the family. What will happen between the Bluffs and the otherwise peaceful pride of Lorien Plains?

September 20, 2024 Ilarion Rurik challenges for Wolfbron, will the Dieudonné lead pride fall?

September 8, 2024War broke out once again in the Lagoon when a wedding had some uninvited guest arrive. The war results in the most death matches the island has seen at once. The Summit was challenged by Brighid with Talisa answering the call. After many years of the Summit have the same two leaders, the Summit changes hands. What will this mean for the balance of Amaryllis? A witch hunt has started by Luther and Miaran which seems to be turning things on an island that is full of magic.

August 25, 2024 War broke out in the challenge for the Lagoon after Cassius tries to take the Lagoon from Isla. The Cove remains with Miaran. The leadership of the Mire switches from Sigrún hold to Rike when Luther comes back to take his birthland back. Elephants push into the Rainforest and push out the lions there. Soon after Lucifer lays claim to his birthland and takes over the Rainforest.

June 27, 2024 Conflict and tensions rise as prides come head-to-head with one another across Amaryllis - just as Pyrrha and Cassius take the leap to try and claim (or reclaim) their own thrones.

May 24, 2024 Rulers continue to shift, family strife ensues, and, per usual, tensions seems taunt and always lingering on the horizon.

April 24, 2024 Things are rocky within Amaryllis as the Dieudonne clash result in three deaths and forces a shift in the rulership of Firnen Rainforest. With Caladan Cove freshly overturned as well, what will the consequenecss of these events be?

March 30, 2024 The lull has ended as a long standing family, the Dieudonné, launch death matches against their own. The Plains sees a challenge from a new comer, Aphrodite, and the quite pride is pushed into the spotlight.

March 19, 2024 A momentary lull has overtaken the lands of Amaryllis as its inhabitants attempt to find their footing and rebuild after a string of challenges. How long it will last, however, nobody can be quite sure.

February 11, 2024 The Mire has fallen from the Stärke family and is now held by Luther Rike. The change has stirred but the fighting nature of those on the island. The Brook finds a new leader with Icefang and Isla takes over the Lagoon after a storm pushes out the old leader. Reti finds himself the leader of the Hollows after Alexander is hurt. The Oasis finds a new leader in Léonie who is soon tested by Harou.

January 8, 2024 The snow has finally begun to melt anew, which means that the world is slowly returning to the much-anticipated summer season. With the various holiday activities and the other jests put on by Nafasi also coming to a close, it is safe to say that winter is finally over.

December 5th, 2023 Nafasi had pulled a cruel trick and has sent Amaryllis back into a renewed winter season! But it's not all bad, because the lands will also see a handful of holiday-themed events popping up as a result. To make things more interesting, a wayward trio of travlers have also arrived and are facilitating a mass competition between the prides, bands, and rogues -- formally dubbed the Amaryllis Winter Games.

December 2nd, 2023 The spring air brings forth a number of pride challenges. A familiar challenger for the Cove and the Oasis arrive to try to earn what they want. The new leader of the Lagoon is tested in battle as well. What changes will come from the challenges? Who will remain standing and who will find their world turned upside down?

November 27th, 2023 In a challenge between mother and daughter, the leadership of Wolfbron Bluff changes for the first time in 5 IC years.

November 22nd, 2023 Two death matches, one resurrection, and an almost-war later, the lands find themselves in a constant state of turmoil and calamity. Families have been torn apart and endless blood has been spilt; but how is it all going to end?

November 3rd, 2023 The lands stir violently as a death match rages on between Aeistrios Saxe and Morrigan Greyflood. Observers spill into the pit in droves to witness what will no doubt be a historic battle -- and it is clear that this familial fued is far from over, no matter who wins and who dies.

October 12th, 2023 With winter comes the surge of more pride challenges; Ludivine challenges Ryker for Firnen Rainforest and is victorious in her endeavors, meanwhile an outcropping of maims breaks out on the sidelines. In a shocking turn of events Luther returns to challenge Bruno for Ecrosia Mire, will the former heir prove victorious or has Bruno got what it takes to keep his brother's ambitions at bay? This has undoubtedly shaken things up as Bruno declares war against Andal Oasis and Allies in the process!

BLACK FAMILY planning
      |   #1

THE BLACK FAMILY
* indicates host of the Black Fever.


*Void Black && Briar Rose
Pride Black *Envy Black Lust Black
Wrath Black Sloth Black


Pride Black && Shyla Romero
Siren Black


unknown && Lust Black
Lotus Black


Pride Black && Astra Tarak
Taipan Grey


*Envy Black && Lotus Black
*Asylum Black




The basic rundown

The family leader Pride was reckless, quick to upset the wrong families and prides. He would allow many of their secrets to get out, such as the fact some of them host a deadly disease and that inbreeding is not very uncommon. Many saw them as either a great threat or as sinful. This resulted in a number of months being very tense, the occasional fight breaking out as the family was pressured to leave.

Pride refused to move his family so his younger brother Envy, decided to further antagonize the family opposers, that they might take action. Envy would find some young cubs of a pride and infect them with the black fever, making no effort to mask his scent. The two cubs would become very ill and die within a few days.

The pride would discover what happened and who was responsible, rallying allies to assault the Black home and either kill or drive them out. The Blacks would defend their home as Pride ordered, but eventually, a retreat would be called. Some of the family would die in the process, and Envy's displeasure would intensify. He would confront his brother in secret and infect him. Normally Blacks had some resilience to the effects of their own disease, but badly and injured and weakened from the earlier fighting, Pride would succumb to illness within the next two days. Envy now being the eldest male in his family line would take over leadership.

Envy would lead his family as they searched for a new home, searching for others scattered during the home raid. Among those missing were Envy's mate Lotus and their young child Asylum. Both would be presumed dead after being missing for over a month.

Two months after leaving their home, the Blacks would arrive in Amaryllis.

To do list

Blacks have a tendency to join different prides as they wish, instead, finding a central location in neutral lands to build or find an elaborate home. Among themselves, they call it 'The Black Manor' and keep its location a secret. Often they will find ways to hide its entrance and otherwise deter strangers from coming too close to it. Eventually, they might even attempt to claim a pride, which would become less of a pride and more of a VIP club while in their possession. First task would be to find/make a home somewhere.

Another task might be to send out scouts to get a feel for their new home, find potential allies and ask around about any Black family members still missing.

Having Grey family members means they have a valuable bargaining chip. The leader and the second in command might seek an alliance with another notable family or a pride, setting up betrothals or offering the Grey as aid for menial tasks such as hunting or caring for children.

Spend some leisure time together, maybe celebrate the finding of their new home by having a feast or starting a family hunt.

Lets start planning

Nothing else right now.. please share your ideas for family ties and history with each other. Those not playing a family member would be welcome to offer up ideas for alliances and such as well. Asylum's time with the family has been fairly brief, but I am up for discussing her relationships with people on here or on discord. I am not sure how to make group chats on there but if someone wanted to, please be my guest.

Art for the Blacks

I have been planning to make matching postscripts and the like for the various family members.. I will be sure to let you know when each one is finished.

Lotus is in acceptance but I would like to start plotting from now! If anyone wants threads,have ideas or wished anything let me know!

Any and all of my characters may be discussed in both IC and OOC spaces

@Astra was just applied for. I need to figure out her standing in the pride. She is more a calm quiet type of lady. Think servant in away, but very loyal and protective of the Blacks and Grey’s.
      |   #4
I also have Sloth now, he is 3, very small and pretty nice to everyone. He is a bit of an oddball and a little on the playful side when in a good mood. He didn't come in with the family though, he set up a diversion to help them escape and then got separated. He would treat a Grey like he does anyone else.

Some headcannons/ideas which you don't have to use or adopt.

-all blacks have the bite but most don't have the lethal version. The lesser variant really only shows up after a long fight and merely makes healing take longer/victim feeling shittier for longer afterwards.

-Black band? Black band.
