Prides on Amaryllis are static, meaning that they are bound to the same territory locations and names. The current list of prides can be found on the left sidebar of the site.

General Pride Guidelines:

• Leaders may interrupt any thread within their own lands without permission.
• Make sure to check the rules listed on the pride pages for each pride's rules, as determined by the leader.
• Once a lioness or a female yearling or cub (of either gender) joins a pride, they may not leave without permission from one of the pride’s leaders.
• All pride members need permission to leave.
• If a pride lioness, yearling, or cub goes inactive and rejoins within 1 OOC month, they will be sorted back into their original pride. Adult or yearling males will have the choice to be sorted back into their pride during when reauditioning during this timeframe.
• In order to officially join or be released from a pride, your character needs to exit the thread. You can then post in Pride Updates!
• If a member is stolen from their pride via a theft challenge or are claimed into a pride, exits are not needed and they are considered members of the new pride automatically.
• If a pride leader kicks out a member of the pride, exits are not needed and they are removed automatically.
• When moving a character into the prisoner rank, the interaction must happen IC, but exits are not needed.

Maua’s Passage is Amaryllis’ typical recruiting ground. If you have an incoming character that you want to have join a pride right away, this is where you should make your first thread so that pride representatives can come and meet the new arrival.

• Rogue cubs can also post threads here to find a new home or to get adopted.
• Remember that cubs under 6 months old are automatically on Yellow PVP when in neutral lands.
• Posting a thread here does not mean that a character has to join a pride.
• Only pride members with a Medium rank or above, or an Outlaw band leader/Master Outlaw band member can recruit at Maua’s Passage.
• All characters can claimed.
• Being claimed means they have to: fight the claim, be fought for, try to escape, or accept the claim.

All pride members can invite rogues to join their pride. However, they must be accepted by an Occupational ranked member or above to be considered official. Keep reading and check out the Pride Ranks page to find out more!

Enter another pride's land at your own risk!

• Explicitly trespassing on pride territory, defined as a pride's forum, will increase your PVP level by one for the duration of the thread.
• If it is not clearly stated within a thread that a character is or is not trespassing, the character is not considered a trespasser unless they are from a listed enemy or at-war pride.
• This means that PVP does not rise for simply posting in another pride's forum. But, if they are from a listed enemy or at-war pride, their PVP will rise no matter what.

• If your character is in a fight due to trespassing and wins, any ranked character(s) may still start another fight against your character. The fatigue system still applies in these scenarios.
• The trespassing character can try to escape, or roll to escape when in a fight to avoid further attacks.
• By trespassing, you accept that your character may be attacked and accept the consequences of your upped PVP. If a character who is on red PVP chooses to attack a trespassing character, they accept and waive the normal steps that would be taken on their end as per the PVP system.

Whether you’ve been claimed, invited, or grew up in a pride, sometimes it might no longer seem like the right fit. Members can always request their release from the pride leader, but if that doesn't work they can also try to escape.

In order to successfully escape from your pride, you need to do the following:

• Post a thread within the pride territory attempting to escape.
• If another pride member does not to the thread within 3 days, their escape attempt is assumed to be successful and they can post again to exit.
• If another pride member posts before the 3 days have passed, they can try to block the escape.

• This follows the regular rules and timers for dominance matches.
• You can still try and escape the fight, as specified in the fight page.
• If the member attempting to escape wins the match or escapes successfully, they are freed from the pride.
• If the member attempting to escape loses the match or fails to escape the fight, they remain a member of the pride.

Pride tiers give bonuses to the pride as a whole - the more OOC months in a row a pride engages in successful pride events, the pride tier will grow.

• If a pride takes part in 2 successful pride events in an OOC month, they will move up a tier.
• If the pride takes part in 1 successful pride event in an OOC month, they will stay at their current tier.
• If the pride has no successful pride events in an OOC month, they will move down a tier.

A variety of different events can count towards pride tiers, including:

• Pride hunts
• In order to be considered “successful” pride hunts, which count so long as there are 2 members present in the hunt and it is finished (the pride has rolled more hits than the prey has dodges) by the end of the month.
• Pride events (meetings, training events, etc)
The purpose of the thread needs to be very clear when the thread is started. These threads will only need 30% exits before the end of the month and the required number of members and posts is based on the pride size:
• Under 10 members = 3 members & 10 posts total needed
• 10-19 members = 5 members & 15 posts total needed
• 20-35 members = 10 members & 20 posts total needed
• 36+ members = 15 members & 25 posts total needed
• Recruitment
Attempt to recruit 2 new members into the pride. This will not include members born/stolen/claimed; only actively invited in characters
• Threads completed by the end of the month, with exits, count toward one element of the pride tier
• Diplomacy/Alliances
This is to help new prides get started by attempting to make TWO different alliances with other prides or bands.
• Two threads must be made to count toward ONE element of the pride tier.
• These can be made by the leaders or those with the appropriate perks
• Threads completed by the end of the month, with exits, count toward one element of the pride tier

Pride leaders are responsible for tracking successful pride events and their tiers in their pride forum. If the pride events are not properly tracked, this can result in the loss of perks for members.

Current Pride Tier Perks:

• Tier 1: +1 hit roll to pride hunts.
• Tier 2: Potential for an extra cub in litter (1/5 chance).
• Tier 3: If both parents are in the pride, there is a 50/50 chance of a maxed-out litter (4) regardless of their ranks.
• Tier 4: Bonus to members participating in fights in their pridelands (doubles the level 1 bonus of their master trade).*
• Tier 5: Doubles the pride's buffer cost for challengers.
• Tier 6:+5 exp to trade threads within the pride lands. Only threads started while you have the level 6 tier will be able to gain the extra exp

Tier 6 Notes:

• There is only one way to earn level 6 and that is through pride membership posting!
• You must be at level 5 and HOLD it for ONE OOC month before being able to try for level 6.
• The number of posts needed to gain level 6 is based on the number of adult and yearling members a pride has at the end of each month, not counting the leaders.
• Take the total number of adults and yearlings x 5 = the number of posts needed to gain and keep level 6.
• This number will change each month as prides gain and lose members.
• If you drop under the needed amount, you will lose level 6 for that month but will be able to try again by posting during the month you don't have the level to gain it for the following month.
• The tally is only run after the month change (ie. you will be able to see the Oct post tally starting Nov 1).

• All prides are shown each month and as bands are made, they will show also.

Bonuses stack, but change in leadership resulting from disbands or pride challenges will wipe them.

*The dice values in pride members' sidebars will not be adjusted once this tier is reached. Members in fights must adjust the dice on their own in the fight posts, and must make a note at the bottom of each post stating that they are using the pride tier 4 bonus, along with a link to their pride page/proof. Failure to provide this note/proof will result in losing that round of dice.
