December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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!

Fall
Though the air is still warm and the sun is bright, the summer is beginning to wane and, with it, the humidity has started to die down. It is a welcomed relief for the inhabitants of the jungle, as more moderate weather will mean that the rainforest will not feel quite as stifling, as well as those from the desert, who's early autumn will see calm winds and mild nights. For the rest of the peninsula, the change in seasons will be gradual, hinting towards the colder months that are soon to come.

IC Rules
Content Rules

Realism

Amaryllis is a semi-realistic lion roleplay in that characters can have unusual appearances to a point. For more information on what markings and mutations you can have, please visit our Design Details page.

  • We do not allow horns, wings, human accessories (such as metal jewellery and things typically man-made), tattoos (‘painting’ is allowed), etc.
  • ‘Magic’ as such is also not allowed, beyond our Afterlife System and Lore.

Trigger Warnings

We require that our members use the Trigger Warning System when mentioning topics that may trigger and/or upset members.

  • The trigger warning tag needs to be included in the thread tags alongside the mature (M) tag.
  • EACH post with the triggering topic must also include a trigger warning code at the top.

Familiars

Amaryllis allows the use of familiars on-site, and they have their own set of guidelines that must be followed. These stricter guidelines are in place given the fact that we also allow creature characters to be created.

  • They can be used as a ‘pet’ or ‘sidekick’ to your character.
  • They must be native to Africa or Asia, are not allowed to be alone in threads, and must be posted with your character.
  • They cannot be the main focus of the thread and their interaction with other characters should be minimal.
  • They do not have the ability to talk, and they only have IC knowledge of what your own character knows.

Non-Player-Characters (NPCs)

You can use NPCs in your threads at liberty and they can interact with your character as you wish. However, they can not harm/pester/etc. other characters that join the thread without permission from all parties.

  • Overall, NPCs should be seen as story-building opportunities.
  • They may also be added via dice rolls or by Staff for specific site events and BWPs.
Posting Rules

Post Requirements

Whilst we welcome any skill level to the community, we have a minimum word count of 100 words. It is expected that you meet this in every post.

  • Should your posts not meet the 100-word minimum twice (2+ times) in any given thread, you will be unable to claim any petals or trade experience for that thread.
  • Posts that do not meet this minimum will not count for leadership post requirements and pride buffers.
  • If a fight post does not meet the minimum, the character will default from the fight.

Thread Tags

See below for a list of tags to use for your posts. Some are mandatory use depending on the content of the thread, so be sure to read them carefully.


- All Welcome.
- Private. Nothing overrides a private tag aside from a leader joining the thread in their pride lands.
- Mature. Contains mature topics.
- Mature Private. Contains mature topics. Nothing overrides a private tag.
- Trigger Warning. Contains topics that may be triggering for some.
- Trigger Warning Private. Private thread that contains topics that may be triggering for some. Nothing overrides a private tag.

- Escape. Used when making an escape attempt from a pride. Mandatory for Prisoners.
- Leader. Often used when requesting a leader.
- Leader, Private. When requesting a private meeting with a leader. Nothing overrides a private tag.
- Challenge. Used when posting either a pride or band challenge.
- Challenge, Semi-Private. Can only be used if both parties agree. Challenge would only be open to allies and members of the pride.
- Border. Used for visits at a pride border that might not fall into another category.
- Band. Used when in a neutral territory, but specifically requesting a residing band.
- Mandatory. Be there; often used for pride/band events or meetings.
- Optional. Show up if you can; often used for pride/band events or meetings.
- Hunts. Lets other know that you are looking for a hunt.
- Event. Events could be for a pride/band or just small things.

Activity Level

Any character that has not posted ICly within 40 OOC days is considered inactive. Characters are set to inactive automatically by our on-site bot.

  • Please post an Absence or Hiatus if you plan on being gone for a set period of time.
  • If the bot moves your character to inactive while you are on absence, they can be made active again immediately upon your return - please read the absence request thread for more information.

Valid Thread Exits

When exiting a thread with your character, please note that it is not valid until 72 hours have passed with it going uncontested. Until that point, or until everyone else has exited the thread as well, there is a chance that their exit could be blocked or interrupted by others.

  • Petals, trade experience, and other maintenance items can be requested and processed as of the first attempted exit.
  • A character can only be stopped from exiting once per thread.
  • Blocking an exit could be done physically, verbally, or with a fight — so long that it is clear that the exit of the other character is being interrupted.
  • Do not size down the font when posting the exit. It needs to be clear that is the intention.

Threading with Yourself

We do not allow members to thread with themselves. All IC threads need to have at least one other character present, who is owned by another player, at all times.

  • Similarly, you cannot breed two of your own characters.
  • This also means that passing leadership ranks between your characters is not allowed. The exception is if it is an older leader passing to their younger heir, and you happen to play both. This would need to be threaded out in a meeting or gathering of the pride.
  • Chatlog RP: We have a chatlog forum that members are free to use, but please note there are limitations to what can be claimed from them. Please see our full list of Chatlog Rules.

Dead Threads

Dead threads are threads that have gone 40 days without a reply, and do not have any exits. Forums are swept periodically by the Staff team, and any dead threads are moved to our on-site archive.

  • Irrespective of whether a thread is dead or not, any post made by your character is assumed to have 'happened' ICly.
  • If threading with another member and your thread dies, you can both choose to override this rule and act as though it 'did not happen' ICly, should you both agree.
  • Note that this knowledge only applies to things that happened directly and were written out in the thread.
    • For example, if Bob and Lisa are threading and the thread dies before Bob introduces himself, Lisa cannot know Bob's name unless explicitly told in their next thread.

Double Posting

Double-posting is when you reply twice to the same thread, with the same character, back-to-back. This is only allowed under specific circumstances. In short, if you have created an AW thread that goes unanswered, you are able to reply to it again and exit after 2 weeks has passed without receiving a reply.

  • This is only applicable if no one has replied to your thread, and you must exit in the second post/when double-posting.
  • This is completely optional. Alternatively, you could wait the full month for a reply before it is archived into a dead thread. Ask Sr.Staff if you're unsure!
