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!

Time had brought him nothing but peace in the afterlife. Nothing had changed between his living days and his spectre days as he still looked over his family from time to time and made sure all was well with them. It wasn't until Maua had decidedly lifted the foggy veil of Amaryllis that he worried for their sake. Daario, however, was not a natural worrier so he hadn't the foggiest of how to breach the subject to his children. It had been a while since he had given the pride over to Nymeria and it was the best choice he could have made. She had led her siblings prior to being given the crown so she was the one that had made the most sense.

Despite having spent a lot of his time through the veil of the spirits, he was a little lackluster when it came to being confined to one single place. He had no knowledge of the outside world and could only see what really happened here if he happened to see someone within the Grotto. Today he lingered in the most invisible way possible and floated around, hoping that there might be someone to interact with that he could settle his boredom with. The children were likely busy but surely someone would come and help an old soul?

What was this? Jewel wasn't exactly what one might call a 'spiritual' being, but she was also not a complete "null" either. The lioness made her way into the grotto after having the rather... aimless wandering she had done to get here. But when she emerged, she found herself starstruck. Eyes of blue stared open as she searched the place to which she had come and swallowed slightly. With an almost hesitant step, the ebony lioness made her way deeper into the area.

Jewel wasn't sure what this place was, but she could only describe what she felt as 'reverent'. Something told her that this place was a place of magic and wonder, and though she herself didn't truly believe in such things, there was something deep within her heart that told her it was truth.. That she had never grown out of the love of magical artifacts and stories that she thought she had. For here? Here was proof of such things.

Proof she would receive! Daario noticing the woman almost immediately as the air around him shifted and he gazed at her longingly. A dark woman of many scars and a twisted tail of two, wandering through the Grotto as though questioning the very breath she breathed. The spectre took the moment to swoop down several feet where she would likely end up before slowly bringing himself into a form more presentable and apparent. I don't get too many visitors here, he addressed her with a dark baritone voice that spoke warmly. Pleased, as was obvious, that he had gotten a visitor as it was almost exclusively his family that settled here when they desired to see him. Which told Daario Valour that this was one of the infamous strangers to their doorstep.

The spectre that dropped before her had her pausing, fur standing on end and the ebon female coming to a halt. Eyes widening before she finally was able to unparalyze her lungs and exhale a breath she had sucked in. "I--..." Jewel had to try a few more time to get her jaws and vocal chords to work. She had never been particularly religious but after talking to Nymeria about the spirits of this land, now suddenly to see one standing before her she was struggling to comprehend. Jewel cleared her throat and tried again. "I hadn't meant to intrude into your inner sanctum."

Daario had waited a long time to be able to be in the presence of a new visitor, one that wasn't tied to this land by means of being a native. Years the family had rested within the soil of Amaryllis but with this change, he wished to be able to help his children overcome the challenges. The father realized quickly that the challenge might come in getting these new visitors to open their mouths and use words. It's quite alright. I enjoy having a little surprise every now and then. After all, being beyond the veil did have its perks but he often found himself rather itchy for a chance to stretch his mental legs. His daughters kept him up to date occasionally but not as much as he would like. Not that he would shame them for it as they had their own dealings than to bother with tossing information to their father.

Picking her jaw up off the floor, Jewel would clear her throat, shuffling lightly in place before she turned her gaze towards @Daario again. "I see. Well... if my intrusion isn't a bother.. then perhaps we can speak? I have to say that I've never met a ... spirit.. before." Or - at least, she supposed that he was a spirit.. Considering that he was see-through and she found a strange feeling when speaking with the spectral being. Of course, Jewel would have thousands of questions as well - and was intent on making sure that they got answered.. but first.. she would need to find out what she could of the lion... and these lands.

Being able to interact with the lions that had come into Amaryllis was something special and this was his moment to actually shine. A time when he could gauge his thoughts on them for himself rather than hearing it from his children's mouths. Of course. Speak away, child. Daario had been semi-preparing for this moment since his daughter had told him of the new visitors to the land. Their arrival causing quite an uproar in the lives of the Amaryllis natives. I expect that you have many questions, because who wouldn't? Hell, he had a lot of questions himself but none of them were entirely valid. More or less interrogation kind of questions so that he knew his children would continually be safe now that they weren't so alone. Maua had brought him back to life within the Grotto (it had its limitations, of course) so he felt he didn't have room to judge them bringing these new folks here.

A smile touched her lips before she tilted her skull towards him. "Perhaps.. in the sake of being fair - you could ask me a question when I ask you one?" Jewel wasn't sure if spirits - ghosts... whatever he was.. would want to ask questions of the living. The ebon queen would shift nervously before she settled, trying to make sure she presented a good image to the lion. Why? Because it was by the grace of the gods of this world that they lived here and she doubted that she would do anything to be 'ousted' but didn't want to upset the spirit of a lion from their past in the event she did.

The woman was a bold one, of this he was certain. No other mortal had stumbled across him and attempted to make a deal with him, particularly not tried to soothe his own worrisome questions as well. Most just stared at him in disbelief and asked questions but @Jewel was eager to help where she could. Though, most of his questions would either by met with uncertainty and a shrug as they would likely revolve around his own family and the fate of Amaryllis. Alright then. Ladies first, a gentleman as ever that was eager to hear what she had to ask and not at all focused on anything he needed. Being a part of the after-life didn't exactly give him a whole lot of power regardless of what he asked.

She would think on what the question she had was before she spoke to @Daario. Jewel wanted to know more about these lands, and she couldn't be sure that she would ever learn enough about these lands to make much of a difference.. except.. "Do all those that die within these lands come here? " Jewel worried about the fate of her children - and hoped that 'outsiders' such as them wouldn't be excluded from this beautiful space.

Naturally - she also was curious as to how many of the spirits that resided here were natives. Jewel knew that some lions had to have lived in these lands for generations - but why had they been allowed here now? What had happened to cause this regions gods to call in blood from beyond the pass? Was it because the natives as they were were doomed genetically? A small population with no outside genetics?
