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!

Rusalka happily slipped back into Ecrosia, after Imber had walked her home, promising he'd come back to see her again soon, the young cub smiled to herself, unaware she had been playing with the enemies off spring. The Rike daughter shivers, hyper aware of the chill that set in, hopefully Mama wasn't too upset, her orange gaze watched infront of her, making sure she didn't miss a predator or a sneaky lion trying to jump scare her.

Her thoughts traveled back to Imbers words, One day, you'll see all of Amaryllis and be an explorer of legends! She held her head a little higher, grinning widely, the personification of happy.

His daughter was missing. Not to the point of panic, but she was not where she should have been and immediately the Rike Jarl knew that she had disobeyed. She would need to learn her place in this hierarchy or her disobedience would see her killed by her own family. Perhaps even her own father.

The girl was not as watchful as she thought she was. She missed her father hiding in the shadows, watching her. He approached when she turned her head away from him, moving in fast and silent. He aimed a smack at her small body, hoping to send her tumbling and bring her to a halt. He had questions for the girl, and she'd do best to answer them well if she knew what was good for her.

Her happiness did not last too long, her body was no match for the iron paw of her father, in seconds he is upon her, swatting her smaller form sprawling and sliding through the Mires muck, she yowls for her parents, until she sees her attacker. Fear fills the young cubs eyes as she looks up at her father and she pins her ears back, lip trembling as she lay where she's stopped.

She wanted to cry for her mother, to yell and yowl and scream "mama!" At the top of her lungs, but she couldn't get the sound to leave her throat, so she stayed put, trying to calm her shakiness, trying to be brave infront of her father. The girl only ever tried to be something he would be proud of, but as a Rike, she knew she'd never amount to anything in his eyes, atleast not equal to her brothers.

Women had their place, obedient beneath the men. But they were expected to be fierce as well, and seeing @Rusalka cower before him did nothing to cool his temper. He approached where she had come to rest when he had sent her sprawling, reaching toward her with a paw, claws extended. He attempted to place the paw on her back and dig the claws into her skin and drag her towards him.

"Wo bist du gewesen?" he demanded, slipping I to his native German. He took a breath, preparing to say more, and caught the scent of something distinctly Sigrun, though it was faint, as if diluted by Amaryllis. His eyes narrowed and a low growl rumbled in his chest. His face twisted into a snarl as he looked down at his wayward daughter.

The cub held back a cry of pain when he grabbed her, she felt his claws prick her tiny body, had Astarte been here she would have thrown a fit but her mama wasn't here, and so she did her best to toughen up, she didn't even let out a whimper when she was dragged to him. "" Ich spielte auf den Feldern, ich verlor mein Zeitgefühl...' She explained herself, lowering her eyes, trying to still be tough while showing her submission.

He inhaled and she wondered if Imbers scent was on her, not that she knew the child was Sigrun, she hadn't even met a Sigrun that had introduced themselves, though maybe that was for good reason, but it wasn't like anyone was pointing them out to her. She watched as his face twisted into something furious, and she wondered if Celosia was off limits, and if so why? She didn't know the exact reason so she spoke softly, holding back sniffles, "" Mwen regrèt papa, mwen pa t ' vle ale pou lontan, oswa pou ale nan jaden yo..'

Weak. His daughter was a weakling and a fool. She would give away their secrets before they could grow strong enough to destroy the Sigrun by wandering around and meeting strangers without discrimination. Clearly he'd not been strict enough, rough enough, with her to make her understand their position and her duty to her family.

"Wer hat gesagt, dass du gehen darfst?" he snarled, flashing his teeth at her in his anger. He dragged her until she was directly in front of him, well within reach of his claws. The next words that slipped from her mouth were in her mother's garbled language and he growled again, giving her a shake. "Sprich nicht in dieser Sprache mit mir!" he commanded her, his voice laced with a threat. Or else.

Rusalka refused to meet his eyes, shame burning in hers, she feared her father, at this point drowning sounded better than whatever it was her father could do, but she did not voice her opinions, atleast some of their cubs got to live, and grow up happy. She wasn't stupid, she'd never say her last name out loud, she never introduced herself as Rike, she wouldn't, not when it would mean certain death. "" Ich habe nicht gefragt ... Mama sagte, ich könnte spielen gehen!'

Of course Astarte had never said she could leave the Mire but she hadn't said she couldn't either, and Rusalka used that to her benefit often, she did develop the calculating intelligence from both parents, the flash of teeth in her face caused the cub to pin her ears back, his shake grabbing her attention, "" Es tut mir Leid!' She apologized, wishing her for her mother, she hated her father, but again, she did not speak her thoughts.

Such a coward.

The little girl feared him. He could smell it on her as she trembled before him, avoiding his eyes and flinching as he snarled. Neither of @Ruslaka's brothers were this weak. It it weren't for the potential children that could come of her, strengthening the Rike line, he might have done away with her already. Weakness was not acceptable in the Rike family.

"Du bleibst im Sumpf!" he commanded, his voice as hard as iron. There was no room for disobedience from his daughter. He would punish her if she dared to defy him. He shoved his face closer to her, flexing his claws into her skin even more. "Fordere mich noch einmal heraus und ich werde es dir wirklich leid tun," he threatened with a hiss, giving her a shake.

She wouldn't fight him or stand up to him. She was too weak to take what he had to dish out. The sooner she was older and he could marry her off for an alliance the better.

He cruelly scrutinized her, and she exhaled softly, she was still a baby, she saw Alaric with his children, and Adeodatus with his, she glared at Adalwolf, she gritted her teeth as his claws pricked her skin, his face directly in front of hey now as he held her up and yelled at her.

Bravery went hand in hand with stupidity sometimes, and so when he stopped barking in her face, and shaking her, she swallowed at him, claws unsheathed, attempting to scratch his muzzle and nose, "" Ich wünschte, Alaric oder Adeodatus wären mein Vater! sie sind nicht gemein und grausam!!' She yelled at him, her voice breaking with emotion, mostly hurt and fear, she continued too try and lash out at him, angry, snarling and spitting.

She screamed she yowled, wanting him to bleed.

Oh how dear little @Rusalka was so innocent and blissful. How she failed to see what went on behind closed doors, away from the scrutinizing eyes of others, in those little families she wanted to idolize. Her words did not upset her father. Her words fell on the ears of a man who didn't care what she wanted or wished for. She was Rike, and there was no changing that for her. There was no escape.

Tiny claws scratched at the surface of his skin, scraping and only drawing the smallest pinpricks of blood. There was the hate he wanted to see in her. There was the fight he wanted to pull out of her. She was weak, but she could be strong if she stopped being a coward. She would still need to learn her place, but she could fight it tooth and nail to prove that she wasn't a weak waste of his time.

"Du denkst, sie sind so viel besser?" he asked with a dark chuckle. "Sie sehen nur das, was sie uns zeigen wollen. Lerne, meiner würdig zu sein, und du wirst dein Leben besser finden."
