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!

Summer is in full swing now, with clear skies, warm nights, and ample sunshine! As such, the deserts begin to grow dry, the shores remain a blissful escape, the north is spared with cooling winds, and humidity continues to rise in the jungle. Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.

He has to feed his kids, and his - girlfriend. Leaving Leila to do all the work is unacceptable. Looking after the cubs and keeping watch just isn’t enough responsibility. So he’ll change. He’ll learn how to hunt, even if that is the one skill he never really mastered. He was a soldier from his first breath, his childhood spent training and learning to fight, while others hunted. To say he is inexperienced… is an understatement. But he can try, and he will.

The watering hole has plenty to pick from, so Dragos plants himself in the long grass and waits, tail flicking at his sprawled back legs, eyes alight and watchful as he scans the plains out before him, looking for the perfect opportunity. Maybe, maybe someone will come and take pity on him and come help.

faustine had not been resting well for the previous hours. her stomach churned and gurgled, empty and hungering for a slice of fresh meat. she need not partake in both regular meals and that of her family delicacy to know that she would accept either one or both at the same time. all that mattered now was to satisfy her initial cravings and find easy prey later to snack on. the watering hole would have to do, as there were many creatures here to hunt. fasutine spotted @Dragos, sneered at him, and ultimately ignored him when she noticed there wasn't anyone else around. however, as the clouds rolled past and the day became clear, the crocodile was gone, and in her place was the noble frenchwoman with her well-groomed fur coat and calm demeanor.

She's been here before, of course. The watering hole is the perfect place to come and laze, listening to the dulcet background sounds of life. She treasures this, gripping tight to reality whenever and whenever she can. It shouldn't be any real surprise, then, when the call breaks her reverie. Ears tick forward then press backward, realizing quickly what was to happen.

un banquet.

She presses closer but keeps out of sight, more curious than hungry. The tall grass around the water feature provide her plenty of space to be hidden, little more than another shadow in the swyaing grass. The gathered group was small for now but she doubts it'll stay that way for long; eyes flutter close as she repeats the words, inwardly to herself.

If Dragos felt like a noob he certainly didn't show it, at least not to the likes of Birdie - who had honed her skills as a fisher-woman far more readily than a huntress. She were the kind best suited to ambush, and less to running. Still, as much as she refuses to make it obvious - concealing her observation of the lead hunter with a playful smirk - she notes his stance, and the way he holds himself low in the grass.

The quietest of rumbles announce her arrival, sliding in alongside the visible duo with an easy waggle. Time to eat!

ฝhen the full moon turns ฝhite

beetle was no stranger to joining the occasional hunt with strangers. his mind cast back particularly to mammoths in the pit. he had little knowledge nor interest in finding out whether anyone had been friend or foe that day - only that they had all needed feeding, and that came before anything else.

so when a group assembled, mingling scents mismatched, beetle did not have to think twice. he dropped his head, scanning through the accumulated company, and silently fell into place.

The sparse valley of Amaryllis had always been a good source of prey; cradled by northern and southern mountain ranges, whose snowpacks melted off into the rivers that fed the watering hole. As winter approached, however, all knew the last of the migrating animals would get their final fills before they embarked elsewhere for the season, and they were especially large this year. Eager, Kvare left his defensive training (where he had been squaring up against other, large animals, testing the strength of his chest, tensed muscles) when the call for another hunt came out; his legs ached, his lungs burned, but he would sooner bring another good meal home before he gave it up to return home and relax.

She was particularly scrappy, and not particularly keen on trying to hunt again. However, her mother had long instilled in her the need to answer any call, and she had thus moved from the Mire and well into the flatlands of Amaryllis. Doubtlessly, the call would come; and when it did, Melusina had already begun to fill her bag with new herbs, spotting strange and familiar plants among the patches of grasses before the watering hole. She lingered a good distance away, careful not to let any lions notice she was struggling especially that day, as she began to work and prepare her concoctions.

The gathering of such animals was not unpredictable, not but anticipated. The last heavy rains before the colder season had filled the watering hole past its usual line and had invited animals of all sizes and shapes to its shores. Ruby gaze cast downward, his paws half-wet as he peered at his reflection in the depths. He'd already been a scrappy, uncoordinated boy; now, a ugly scar reached from his brow down toward his cheek, the once-deep eye now hazy, blinded. A scowl unfurled across his lips, his breathy cussing slowly turning into a plead, noticing as a group gathered nearby for a hunt; perhaps a blessed hunt would be enough to curb away his anger.

The watering hole was an obvious choice, an easy one. There were enough animals gathering here that Aurelia had an inkling of a chance to participate in a hunt truly. She couldn't hide the excited feeling in the swell of her breast, but she'd kept it brief; a small, demure smile lingered on her lips as she crawled to join the gathering lions, quick to wish her blessings upon them before she retired to the outskirts, hoping to close her eyes, to meditate in contemplative silence. A sense of ease and confidence washed over her, then, and she knew her God was watching.

There was less joy now in hunting prey than there was in diligent training, as he'd been doing in the moments leading up to the hunt. At first, the adrenaline of being able to take down larger animal with large groups had been a delightful endeavor, but now, he found himself craving more. Yet, he would not so soon abandon the bliss of anonymity in order to sate his growing appetite. Xavier melded into the crowd as he would any other, rocking on either side of his paws in preparation for the hunt that would soon follow. Eager was he to utilize his skills and adrenaline, but long had he begun to grow weary, far more hungry.
