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.

Drown in Silence
      |   #21
While of absolutely no interest to the gathered hunting party, Juliette made due with the bog's more natural scents. Rolling herself over behind the largest tree she could find and smothering herself in the dark goo of the land, not at all hesitate to be ridden with a smell in a few hours that would likely linger no matter how many baths she took. Instead, focused on keeping herself well out of sight and hidden from the large gathering. If she could sneak around them then she could sneak around wherever, crouching down and prowling around the vicinity of those spread out for the hunt. Keeping tabs on the movement of the lions that were closest to her and hiding behind parts of the thicket when she needed to. Blending in with the scenery as though she truly was one with the Bog.

through the woodland, out the other side. a bog, not unlike particular parts of the jungle, though areas he preferred to stay away from. nonetheless, beetle was no stranger to mud, and as he traversed the area he made sure to hop prettily from root to root, ensuring nothing would follow his trail.

after all. there was something here.

of course, he wasn't the only one hunting. a group closed in, crocodilian in ambush, and he settled into position readily - claws drawn in preparation.

For such a dank and ailing place, there were a lot of lions gathering for the hunt. While he could not quite place what the creature was through the heavy scent of the bog, he knew it had attracted more than one lion (or two, or three, or four...). Kvare kept mostly to himself upon his arrival, content to survey the gathering group of lions and their intermingling scents. Strange, he thought, how the nature of borders and politics were forgotten in favor of the hunt. Eventually, his eyes rest upon @Tilly, all things rosy and content and caught up in the crowd. He automatically gravitated toward her, attempting to reassuringly rub against her shoulder. His head lowered, protecting his neck to keep maintain his defenses he so often forgot, and trotted in place, preparing himself for the chase to come.

Had she not lived in the Mire, now, she would have found this territory far more challenging. But long had she grown used to the unsteady, wet ground; to the vines that hung from the canopy and tangled on their stretch to the ground. She was able to find flowers, here, filled with nectar and medicinal properties. They were a cure-all, or so she'd been told, and thus she'd gathered plenty of them. Too busy had she been fumbling with its pollen to actually watch the hunt this time, attempting desperately to squeeze out its valuable poultices into small leaf bowls.

The bog was an awful place. Godless, blighted. The canopies choked out the sun, and yet plant life flourished from the swamps. It took everything Radahn had not to accidentally step into mud, or a pool that would sink up to his knees. Curses littered through his uncoordinated promenade, but eventually, he made his way toward the gathering crowd. Content was he to watch this from afar rather than participate; yet still, he prayed that they would find success, that they would not disappoint him or the Gods they'd blindly lived for, that they would appease them enough to bless their gathering group. Radahn found a warm and dry spot a short distance away for private meditation, and watched with anticipating gaze.

The bog were a frightening place. Its depths were murky and hauntingly still, and it was impossible to tell how deep or how shallow a place might be. Thus, Aurelia wandered with caution, slowly finding her way toward the group of lions gathering upon one of its safer, dryer shores. Nervous gaze cast between the group of them, settling in her distinct solitude, and ushering words of blessing and prayer under her breath to will them good hunting, to ward away any of the foul-natured and bad omens. Then, she took a deep breath, and prepared her ailing body for the strife that was yet to come.

The bog offered a sense of darkness, security. Xavier slipped from between the trees, not minding the wet, heavy dampness that clung to his feet. Mismatched gaze cast downward upon the lions that began to gather, long having used his sharpened claws to scale a twisted, mangled tree. He rested now upon one of its large branches, energy spent on the effort to claw his way upwards, not too high in the air, just enough to hold his massive weight. Paws were left to dangle on either side of the branch, drinking in the few moments of peace and rest before the hunt began.

5 years, lvl 2 pathfinder; +1 to hunt rolls It was @Radahn whom Khal had followed down from the mountain's crown, easy enough to track as he had been with his meandering ways and muttered curses, but his eldest brother made no effort to properly stalk to almost-yearling, but rather chose to linger back some distance... Just in case Radahn found himself in trouble, again. In the meantime Khal took the time to appreciate what he could of the bog, not caring if his own brown fur became slick with mud, darkening the ends of his mane as he went, scoping out for any signs of large reptiles mostly.

He certainly seemed to have a knack for finding where the action was, as Khal was surprised to find a rather large amassing of lions when he finally found the end of the trail. It was lingering on the edge of winter, he supposed, and so it was the last chance to really stock up their stores. Content to leave the boy to his own devices, whatever those were exactly, Khal would settle in naturally, waiting to see what quarry they would track down. He hoped for something big.

She'd stumbled upon the group by accident, having wandered too far into the Bog for her own schemings and purposes. Whenever there was a big group of men and women, able-bodied and working together, it meant there would be a hunt. She cared little for the yield of this endeavour, but the idea of stretching her limbs and practicing her explosive sprints was enticing. It was not pleasant, but she'd long learned how to ignore the pain and struggle in order to achieve her goals.

And she had many goals to achieve.

This body was still feeble. Strengthened, yes, but feeble regardless. How she cursed it whenever it failed to answer to her command! But today it will. She made sure to exercise it, pushing down weaker tree trunks with loose roots into the water beforehand. After that, she stretched her talons on the fallen tree until they were sharper than knives.

As opposed to the somber swamp, the rosy lioness appears chirpy as ever. The place may not look like much, but plants seem to thrive here. The ashanti pepper should be easy enough to locate, with its bright orange fruits striking a bold constrant against the muted greens and ashen shades of grey that seemingly predominate the bog. Her search is interrupted by the distinct scent of prey, prompting her stomach to growl... loudly. Not having realized just how hungry she had been, she puts her quest on hold for the time being, opting to prioritize getting some food into her belly first.
