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!

+5 Practice speed or strength or +5 Win a fight or spar against a pride lion

She needed to get into shape. She needed to get back into the swing of things. She had two fights and had lost both of them and that was something that was very disappointing to the viking woman. So here she was, having traveled from the Tundra to the Pit and calling out for an opponent. She didn't care who showed up as she would fight the same regardless even if it was a familiar face. Astrid wouldn't go easy on anyone. As she watched, Astrid stood in the middle with her guard up and let her eyes scan the area around her, never standing still but pacing so that she could see behind her as well.

The complex workings of this landscape was so strange to her. Everyone seemed nice and just handed out respect like it was something sweet to eat. Where as being civil wasn’t a new idea to the maned lioness the common workings of so many prides in one area was unexpected. She didn’t know just how many there was but she could smell many different scents. Interesting she would have to test them all. See who was strong and who was weak. The weak she wouldn’t waste her time on, but the strong she would test again and again until she found the strongest male to align her future bloodline with. Strong lion and strong lioness made stronger cubs. Strong lioness and weak lion made poor cubs. At least in her eyes. Therefore she must test everyone she met. Even females so that she herself would become stronger.

Therefore when a call came out to fight she happy answered. Chuffing back to let the stranger know she had been heard. Prowling forward Rose kept her ears pinned and her tail straight for balance. Her head was aligned with her spine and she would stop many feet away. Legs spread and knees bent ready to spring forward.

“Rose. You strong? I strong. We fight and see.” She spoke with broken English and a strong accent from her homeland. Eyes narrowed as she scanned the woman. Her brows furrowed while she peeled her lips back showing her awaiting fangs.

Ears pushed forwards as Astrid would hear a chuff hit her ear drums. Oh goodie. Someone was going to come and play. Perhaps Tyr would be blessing her today as well as the All-Father. Ears pushed backwards as teal jewels found the female stand before her. At first, she was confused. Very confused and for a brief moment it showed before her features went back to being neutral and stoic in her guard. Nostrils flared as she breathed in the unfamiliar scent and caught female. And yet she had a mane. A full mane at that. Oh well.

There were words that were spoken but none were registered as she would push herself forwards and move so that she was at an angle to @Rose's left side. She was bigger, heavier than this female and was going to take advantage of it. It also meant that she might be a bit slower but not by much as Astrid would attempt to throw herself at her opponent's left side with her front paws aiming for her side - claws outstretched. This would be fun as Astrid would be attempting to throw her entire weight at Rose. At the same time, she would be attempting to grab at the top of the shoulder blades with her jaws.

This female didn’t seem the chatty type which was fair enough with Rose. If they didn’t want to talk with words she was all to happy to talk with claws. Allowing a snarl to escape her throat the stocky lioness sized up the only woman. She was bigger, and naturally heavier. Rather or not they were slower than herself was unknown. As her gaze studied the stranger’s form she felt her body tense up for a moment before she sprung forward. Astrid had aligned herself more to Rose’s left and so it came as not surprise that the woman targeted that side.

As the two got closer Rose felt the impact and was pushed back a bit from it. Attempting to swing her hips to right she snarled as she felt jaws bite into her shoulder. Well if the other woman wanted her shoulder she wouldn’t deny it from her. Instead she attempted to push her shoulder forward. Trying to almost choke her with it. At the same time she tried to claw at her front left elbow.

Fangs met flesh and iron was tasted on her tongue as Astrid would feel the shoulder blade push into her jaws, causing her gums to grow sore as she would let go of her opponents flesh before attempting to slide with her claws attempting to dig into flesh down her opponents side back to the ground as she felt claws dig into her elbow and up her arm due to her position. Blood dripped down onto the ground as she growled in frustration and pain. There wasn't much the viking could've done with that move other than what she was attempting to do now. If she were successful, her paws would be placed back onto the ground.

The feeling of fangs and claws in her skin sent a delightful shiver down her spine. With the blood pumping wildly through her veins Rose was extremely excited to be fighting this woman. Call her a weird lioness if wanted, but the maned lady was raised for this life. She lived to battle and she’d be damned if she allowed fear to get in the way of her fun. Ears pinned against her skull as she let out a hiss of pain feeling the strangers claws make their way down her side. She was so going to be feeling that for a while.

Good, good so the stranger was smart in battle. That was strategy for the art she could respect. A fight wasn’t all about brute force after all. Snarling she furred her brows and attempted to back up and shift to stand more in-front before the Viking. She than tried to surge forward. Pushing off with her back legs in an attempt to balance herself better she aimed to push herself against Astrid’s chest. Being smaller she tried to wedge herself under the woman while trying to push backwards and knock her off balance.

Claws made purchase into the ground an Astrid felt the woman move away from her. Teal jewels watched her closely as she would let the @Rose stand before. Her breathing was heavy from using the unfamiliar muscles. The muscles that haven't been used for months due to her [s]hibernating[/b] the summer away. A growl formed as she would soon braced herself for the impact that would happen. It caused her chest to blossom and her back legs to tense up as she felt herself slide backwards a few inches. Her chest would be hurting for a while but for now Astrid would find herself twisting her head so that she would attempt to dig her fangs into the left side of Rose's thick maned neck.

Rose might like to see logic play into a battle other than sheer brute force, but she herself didn’t often think about just what she was doing. It currently at least. Attempting to push forward more. Trying to roll her shoulders forward as she tried to jab them at Astrid’s armpit area. Her hope was to make the other lady uncomfortable as she also attempted to bite Astrid’s left leg. Letting out a snarl as she felt the woman’s fangs pulling at her mane on the side of her neck. The hairs pinching at her skin making her also let out a loud growl.

Well wasn't that some shit. Astrid has once again been tossed by the Gods and lost. A growl formed as she would rip herself away from the woman before her. Her pride was not hurt. Her ego was not damaged. And though her loyalty to the Gods should be it was not, and the viking woman held herself up proudly as she would look over to the one who had given her a fight. Good fight. Strong. She would state easily enough before turning to leave. There was nothing here for her anymore so why stay? Unless the other had something to say.

exit unless stopped
