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
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.

od is singing in my head again / in the howling voice of a she-wolf / that’s just eaten her young.




She were unused to the beach. The shifting sands made her feel unsturdy, the largeness of her paws awkward in the terrain. She was suddenly jealous of Arwen's gift for flight. Even now, the falcon circled just above head, eyes keen and careful for any prey. But given the unyielding flatness of this place, Ashaera doubted that Arwen could find something she already could not see. Thus, the huntress kept moving forward, following the traces of faint scents that lingered, threatening to dissipate in the heavy, salty air. Her rosy nose crinkled, finally, hopefully, catching onto one that were just near enough.

It's the scent of prey in the sea salt wind that brought Saladin to the shore. It felt different, this obsidian sand, from the sand back at the Oasis. It felt firmer in a sense, as if each paw step wouldn't cause for him to slip down a sandy slope and have to try all over again to climb upward. Dual toned eyes take in his surroundings, taking in deep inhales and slow exhales of breath. He spots a figure not too far out, one that he'd seen around before at a hunt, and he assumes she is here again with a bird to find some food. The yearling knew more help would be best, so he'd begin to tag along, his body crouching low as he moved.

The ocean was a beautiful place. Quiet, full of sights and you could drown someone in it and no one would find the body. Or that's what she'd heard in a past life. She didn't do those things currently. The salty air dances around her and the obsidian sand sinks beneath her toes as her lithe frame walks along the edges of the cerulean waters. The black sand is a nice touch, she thinks to herself. It's not hard to spot the company ahead of her given the place itself is such an empty expanse though she is quite curious about the bird hovering over the woman's head. A bird of prey hovering, in her knowledge, meant prey so either the pale woman beneath it was prey or it had found something good. Sadella moves with purchase towards them, slinking her petite body along as she followed the left-behind footsteps and the scents of the two who were well ahead of her. They hadn't caught anything yet so she was safe to follow them at a distance until she needed to actually do something.

The shore were a far better place for Aurelia to practice. Long had she begun to realize that hoping to catch up during a hunt simply would not work. Thus, she did not join the main group. Instead, she aimed to approach from the outskirts, ahead of where they would chase their prey. She found a ledge in the distant sea cliffs, theorizing that perhaps the prey animals would be driven there, and she could drop on them from above. Though her weight light and uncoordinated, it would at least give her the chance to fight if her strategies held.

It were too close to home to pass up. In fact, Kvare had been pacing the borders when he'd first seen their gathering silhouettes upon the horizon, having initially been intent in his strength and endurance training. The sun burned above head, the sea everlastingly calm. It were any other day in paradise, and the King was eager to abandon the dull duties of leadership in favor of something far more exciting, something that did not care about prides or politics. He'd seen even enemies gather in the name of a hunt. Steadily, he began to make his way toward them, quietly indicating his intentions to join.

Her travels drew her further into the heart of unknown places. Unexpected places. Head raised, nose to the wind, Lune follows the scent of salty air. Sweet brine stinging her eyes while the wind whips a healthy blush across her cheeks. Cold sand clings between her toes as she trods upon the damp, brown earth. As she walks, Lune drags her feet obscure her tracks. Hoping for her trail to be made further indistinguishable by the froth, lapping waves. The cool autumnal winds were further chilled by the grey waves and sent a small chill down Lune's spine. A fair-weather girl herself, she was not used to cold. A gust of wind added further insult to injury but made up for it with the sweet whisperings of prey. Lowering herself to the ground, Lune rolled in the clumpy sand, letting it cling to her golden furs, hopefully taking her scent with it. Lune pushed forward towards the scent of something delectable. She soon found herself in the company of other like minded individuals on the lookout for a meal.

She moved along the beach lost in thought. Finding a growing hunting party wasn’t something she had planned on doing but it seemed a good opportunity to stretch and work her muscles. If they needed more claws then she would help where she could.
Upon approaching her attention is drawn in by a strange sight. A young lioness unable to use her hind legs? Odd. Tiri had certainly never seen the like of it before. Curiously her path deflected away from the group and over toward @Aurelia.
Greetings. She said warmly. Neytiri X’uekai of Ecrosia. She settled herself down beneath the younger lioness’s perch.

The shore were always a welcome place, even long after his injury. At first, Radahn had avoided the beach; not out of fear, but of ire. He had not seen Faustine since their fight, and would have readily preferred to be swallowed by the sea rather than have her drag him to shore. But Radahn had been too weak to fight her, and when he had awoken, he was lain across the beach. It were the first time he returned here since then, the familiar black sands reaching across the shoreline. He quickly made his way toward the gathering group, intent on distracting himself; certainly, they were waiting for something, and Radahn had a sinking feeling that their prey would swiftly be upon them, rather than the other way around.

The black, sandy shores were not unfamiliar to her, but it had been some time since she’d been here. A group seemed to have gathered in the distance, and as if on instinct, Renfri kept her distance. Carefully, she slid into the water, dipping under the waves a few times to soak her pelt through with the salty, briny water to wash away and mask her scent. When she was done, she crept back to the shore, ducking behind a large, rocky tower to roll in the black sand. She’d be finding sand in her den for weeks, she was sure, but it would be worth it, knowing that dark sand would help to mask her fur and hide her scent. Sticking close to more of the large, rocky outcrops, she crept closer to the gathering, ears pressed forward to try and see if she could catch any bits of conversation carried on the wind, but her primary focus was on going undetected.

Everyone wanted to come out and play lately, and as she nears upon the shore once more, she makes quick efforts to hide her scent before nearing anywhere closer to the large forming group. Rolling in the sand, she makes sure she feels icky enough to know her scent is cloaked and covered enough for her liking, then trails further to the group. Crouching down low, her abyss body of tiny proportions makes an effort to scoot along the sidelines, before finding a hiding spot and aiming to remain hidden. Taking in a breath, she begins to study the landscape that all the lions stood upon, eyeing the terrain and the ocean afar with observant eyes.
