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.

With the tide low, the Cay was accessible. Granted, he still had to swim through some parts and trudge through water in others, but that was just because he was smaller than most lions. It was a personal struggle and nothing more, though he assumed the others who would eventually join him here wouldn’t have such an issue.

Today, he followed a scent of food wafting to him on the breeze. The seabreeze, albeit cold, was gentle and carried a chill with it that hinted at the winter chill that was fast approaching them. Once he had reached the Cay, he eyed a strange-looking tree as it greeted him on the beach. Its trunk nearly twisted in a loop as it grew upward; it was something he had never seen before. He studied it for a moment, tipping his head to one side as he wondered what gave it its weird shape. But then the breeze blew again, and it set him back on track. Food.

There was still a way to go to find the creature, but he chuffed into the treeline, hoping there had been others around who would aid him in this feat. They’d all eat good if such was the case.

The midnight creature lumbered along the chilled shoreline, picking through some delectable sea life that unfortunately found itself stranded without the tide. While he snacked on some salty morsels, he busied himself on the in-between. His body was growing ever larger; stronger. But it wasn't enough. The Darkling wanted more. He desired to push his body to its limits in order to obtain all the power he physically could. Testing his endurance by loping over the sinking wet sand. The terrain making his muscles work overtime.

Cassius stops when he notices another body not far off. A familiar face now somewhat foreign given their new height differences. Last time Cassius had seen @Hyperion, Tia had died and Tinny had taken charge. The once Prince had been but a small cub then.

Lose something? He asks casually as he approaches, noting the way the smaller lions eyes seemed to be searching. He finds a nice washed up log to run his claws into while they speak.

i am the storm / and im coming for you


this time, the heiress wasn't actively looking for anything. she had simply ventured out to take a walk until she arrived in the cay. the wind was nice as it blew through her fur, as it carried the first signs of winter, a season that the girl had yet to properly experience. she dreamed of snow and the possibility of a new intensity to hunting within it. faustine also dreamed of wrestling in a land drowned by the cold white substance until blood splattered the surface...

the imagery made her pause and think, but then her stomach growled and she spotted @Cassius ♔ in the distance. was she supposed to hunt him now? no, that wouldn't be it. there was another lion nearby and they looked as if they were prepping for a hunt of their own. thus the girl drew close to the yearling and she noted that he had grown bigger than the last time she saw him. out of impudence she deliberately made an attempt to knock into cassius's side as a smirk played on her lips.

"And swimming across as opposed to walking is going to help me how?" the yearling mused to her mentor, duo-one gaze skipping from the pathway the others had taken across the sandbar, to the shallow-ish water the once-was King had suggested she swim or wade through.

"There must be other ways to make my legs strong?" she would press, playing the part she was becoming oh so familiar with, a quiet waggle evident in her filling shoulders as she pondered such a task without much seriousness. "And hunting... how does this make me a better fighter?" there had to be a reason, yeah?

He'd caught sight of others making their way to the little island just off the shore, a brow rising as he wondered why they were all gathering in that particular location. The island didn't hold much of a purpose other than being a place one could escape to for a little while and relax, the palms and warm sand despite the chillier weather giving the illusion of serenity. With his mind being curious, Arkyn begins the short swim over, making sure he kept his movements slow and methodical to not make a lot of splashing sounds; he wanted to try to peer into this event without being seen.

The saltwater was a good way to wash off his thick musk, making him even more undetectable. The chill of it goes right through him, causing for jaws to tighten so that a growl didn't escape him. As he nears the shore, the Viking makes sure that he is quite a ways away from them so that he could exit freely. Without giving his body a good shake to release loose water (even though his body really wanted to) he would begin to prowl forward and toward the growing group. It was there that he catches scent of the prey, answering his silent question. The beast hunkers down below thick brush, yellow eyes peering as he watched in silence.

arkyn is hiding!

Hunger drove them all, and it was what drove her too. She happens to be in the area as the call rings out, and with naught else to do, she indulges. By the time she has arrived, there are quite a few people gathered, to which she dips her head to each of them respectively -- @Birdie, @Faustine, @Cassius ♔ and her attention transfixes onto the man who made the call in the first place, @Hyperion. " I'm Aelynthi. May Maua guide us to be successful so we may prosper. " She smiles cautiously towards the group of unfamiliar faces, eager and anxious to get started and go about her way. Under her breath, she muses a few words of blessing, hoping that it would ensure her safety... and the meal she hoped they would bring down.

It were too close to home to shirk such an opportunity. Kvare had long mastered hunting in the sands; such terrain which had once been particularly challenging had now become second nature. It showed now in his brisk promenade, toes splayed to increase the size of his prints, to keep him steady against the ever-shifting earth, maintaining his strength to push through the ever-shifting sands, the endurance to power through the burning of his muscles. His pace was hastened, eager to catch up to the gathering hunt before they'd depart without him. This near to Caladan's borders, it would be easy to bring such a prize home; and it would ensure he'd not need to traverse half of Amaryllis for an easy meal.

They were close to home. Their former home. Thus, it was of no surprise when @Hyperion was the one who called for them to hunt. It was even less of a surprise that @Cassius ♔ were among those who answered the call, those his scent had long differed from the Lagoon, or from the Mire the majority of them had escaped to. Her little nose crinkled, quickly stashing her herbs into her pouch (along with a few she'd collected along the way, the familiarity of the Cay lending to her knowledge of plants here). Her green gaze cast between the two, a girlish shyness unfurling in her words, in the distance she'd put between herself and them. You're not at the Mire? she asked of them both, curiosity lingering in her tone.

The sea long called for him. He did not feel remorse, regret, or fright when he looked at it. Even if he could remember the way his lungs burned, even if he could still feel the slash of Faustine's claw along his face, across his eye which had long grown dark and unseeing. Radahn's nose crinkled as an embrace of heavy, salty air unfurled past him. He asked Vellen specifically, this time, to give him guidance and grace on this hunt; to navigate sands his paws had never gown used to, to find strength in a sword that had always fallen just short.

There seemed to be a sudden influx of strangers to the shores these days. Not that it bothered Krait; on the contrary, the opportunity to meet so many new faces fed the social part of him that hadn’t gotten to feast much since he’d allied himself with his small clan. Lower limbs dripping with sea water, the large speckled lion wandered near, a soft, easy smile gently curling upon his muzzle as his grey eyes assessed the crowd. “Hope one more is welcome,” he said by way of greeting, adding a beat later, “I’m Krait,” for anyone who cared. Though his eyes continued to watch them, he turned his head slightly to one side, letting the wind carry the scents of the little island toward him to gauge what their quarry might be.
