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!

September 26th, 2023 A series of pride challenges spark up across the peninsula, while warring families face-off as tensions reach their boiling points. Anthonius Savante barely manages to escape the clutches of Apollinaire Dieudonne with his life, while death looms over the broken truce between the Valour-Greyflood and Saxe families.

September 4th, 2023 After Tinúviel collapsed at the Wolfbron Bluff's challenge, she was unable to make it back to the Lagoon to take up her leadership position again and the pride disbands. Diomedeidae & Cirilla fight for the pride.

August 28th, 2023 Both Amara and Morrigan keep their prides. Lachesis doesn't show to defend the Brook and Renfri takes over. The Wolfbron Bluffs challenge seems to be setting off fireworks already.

August 15th, 2023 The two longest standing female leaders are both fighting for their prides once again. Anthonius challenges Amara for the Bluffs. Amaroq challenges Morrigan for the Summit. A new leader faces his first challenge as Renfri challenges Lachesis for the Brook. Did anyone think that peace was something the island was able to have?

August 1st, 2023 Conflict, drama, love, and loss - the lands are never free from any of it for more than a fleeting moment. As the summer months wane on and the season nears its end, there is no telling what is coming next upon the horizon.

June 19th, 2023 With the rains leaving and spring upon the island, things are heating up among the lions. Bruno seeks to unseat his father in the Mire. Helah looks to dethrone Scorpius in the Oasis and keep the fire between the Bluffs and the Oasis alive. The Plains have raided the Brook and allies on both sides showed up to help.

May 23rd, 2023 All is fair in love and war - moments of chaos and peace lull in a cyclical nature across the lands of Amaryllis, though most are wise enough to know that the quiet never lasts quite long enough.

April 20th, 2023 Alexander manages to win the Hollows and Tiamat keeps the Lagoon. Vághan challenges Amara for the Bluffs but Amara is able to hold off another challenger and keeps the Bluffs. The Cove was hit by a storm that washed away it's leader leaving the lands open to be claimed by Nephthys and Keligan who both are attached to the land. Cirilla attempts to take the Oasis from Scorpius who seems driven to keep the land.

April 5th, 2023 It doesn't take long for the dust to kick up as the Hollows is challenged for by Alexander once again and the Lagoon is challenged for by Fernweh.

March 31st, 2023 As wars and challenges continue to break out across the lands, Amaryllis is certainly keeping up with its turbulent reputation. One can only hope that the dust will settle soon enough - for everyone's sake.

March 10th, 2023 The turbulance of the prides never ceases for very long, as a violent landslide forces the members of Firnen Rainforest to evacuate and disband. Who will step up for the throne this time around?

March 1st, 2023 While Gauthier manages to retain control of Caladan Cove, Lorien Plains' fate is not so simple. With Aeistrios overthrowing Violarum and taking the pride's throne, how will things unravel from here?

Summer
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

Even gathering the pride together for a hunt, he knew that he was going to rely on a lot of them to be able to do much with the prey that he had located. Cosmin was still learning and hadn't as much experience in the activity as those older than him might. But he was continuing to try and put on a brave face for everyone, especially his family, and so he called for them to round up and come hunt together with him. Perhaps they could take down this prey and have a nice moment afterwards where they filled their bellies and enjoyed the silence of a good meal. It sounded nice in theory, of course, but it was hard to truly have a quiet moment sometimes.

Ah yes, a hunt, huzzah. Truly this was Angelo's least favorite thing, but it was also one of the most important things for him to be doing considering how much he tented to eat and how many children there were running around that could technically be considered his fault. And, speaking of kids, it was one of his making the call for the pride, so yeah. Ought to show up.

He picked up on the scent of what they were going after and was pleased that he had chosen to come along, because that was going to be a tough one. Granted, they usually had most of the pride coming with them for these things, but he couldn't really afford to slack off right now for a plethora of reasons.

All right, let's do this, but carefully, he said softly. The last thing he wanted was another family member getting injured.

She was far more of a medic than a hunter, but that didn't mean she hadn't had lessons. So she came when she was called by one of the yearlings of the pride, though she would admit she was incredibly confused as to why a man was calling to lead a hunt. A feeling that only grew when she got there and there was another man there too. Were hunts run by the men in these lands and she was misstepping? Hmm...

She supposed they would tell her if she wasn't supposed to be there, and so she joined the hunting party, staying a respectful distance back while still being close enough to hear what was being said and therefore not miss any instructions.

It was Cosmin this time who summoned the Hollows to a hunt. The yearlings were growing quickly into reliable young men and women indeed, and Mircea is more than willing to lend his own strength to their efforts to keep the caches filled.

The ghoul would plod his way towards the hunting party with as much quiet as his colossal paws could manage, lest he carelessly send the lost elephant calf running too early.

"Yes, but we must finish it quickly too." He murmured lowly as he stepped in near @Angelo's side, copper eyes scanning their surroundings carefully. "We don't want to attract the mother's attention." There was no sign of her now, certainly, but there was always the chance that the continued trumpets of a panicked calf could change that quickly.

Thella's breaths were loud and rhythmic with each stride as she ran along the base of the tall dune. As she neared the dip between two peaks, she burst into a sprint, muscles rippling with the effort. She needed to work on herself; she wasn't just a young woman anymore. She was the pride's Lead Scout and she needed to do better, to be better.

As she reached the valley between the dunes, she gazed out as far as she could see into the rest of desert, looking for movement; the cooler weather could bring folks who were more willing to brave the arid climate to attack from the south. She turned to head back north, to double back on her path until she reached the border with the Badlands, and was met with Cosmin's call to hunt.

Without hesitation, she bounded in his direction until he and the rest of the group came into view in hot pursuit of an elephant calf and she joined excitedly. Finally, something a bit more substantial!

As a leader she made her duty to show up for things such as hunts and gatherings that her members wished to host. It was a show of good faith and good prosperity that she support every member no matter where they stood in the ranks or what their intentions were. Even if she was the only attendee, that was enough for her. So she set to assisting one of Alexander's children as they hosted a hunt for the pride. Doing what she could for the attack as well as chasing it towards the waiting mouths. At least hunting was something easily doable and it allowed her a chance to see the hard working individuals of the pride.

Unless told ICly, your character should not know that Juliette is a Valour.

{Very true,} he agreed with @Mircea. Oh hey, there was Thella. And Juliette, of course, but that was nigh on a given at this point. He defied anyone to say Juliette didn't do enough for the pride, that was for sure. Let them say it about him instead. Just not right now, because clearly he was doing something. That something being chasing after their quarry and trying desperately to throw himself on top of it in order to bring it crashing to the ground or at least trip it. He clearly hadn't thought that all the way through to realize if it went crashing down then he would too, but hey, he wasn't known for his quick thinking.

With hands so soft - delicate and sweet
She felt even more nervous as another man showed up, but then she relaxed as immediately after, two women filed in, Juliette included. Okay, so hunting was a mixed gender sort of thing here. How... odd. Though, she was relieved the men were they when she saw what they were going after. An elephant calf was potentially quite dangerous despite its youth, and the mutterings about its mother were very valid as well. So she sprinted along with the others, working to keep the calf in line and taking nips at its heels whenever she had the chance. She wasn't small herself, but she'd allow the far larger males to try to bring it down with their weight.

The big male was patrolling the borders of the pride, making sure they were properly marked, and just making sure there was nothing out of place in their doorsteps. But so far, nothing has been detected. So for now, he gave it a nod of satisfaction. Her brown eyes calmly returned back into the insides of her Hollows, walking in at a slow pace. Taking his time. He was always passive, taking his time to do his things but do so perfectly.

But then he heard, an elephant calf. Such a thing needed a lot of cooperation in order to be brought down. And thus, he went to help them out.

Thella cheered as Constantine brought the calf down and smiled to the rest as she approached their fallen prey. She took a few bites, savoring each, before she stepped back and began to help prep the remaining meat to take back to the caches and, once complete, bid her pride mates farewell. She might have taken a break to assist the hunt, but it didn't mean her training or other duties were finished.

She jumped around to bring warmth back to her muscles before heading out to the northern border. Again, she took her time looking out; checking for any movement; lifting her nose to catch any strange scents. When none came, it was time to run, and so she did, letting the cool wind whip across her face.
