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.

IANTHE

Another teen, large and bright, is also gathering ashanti peppers. Ianthe is only a few meters away, but she doesn't make any move to draw attention to herself. She steals glances at the other girl though, her whole presence physically impossible to ignore.
Satchel full of herbs, Ianthe plans on quietly heading back to the mire, but then -

growl

On the air, the scent of prey. The other girl must have smelled it, her stomach reacting in kind. Ianthe isn't immune either, her own stomach giving a sympathetic rumble.
She lets the larger teen go off first. Once an appropriate amount of time has passed, the princess takes the same path to join the hunting party.

She came up like a wraith at her sister's side, gaze unwavering as they stared upon the giant, rose-tinted girl. Stranger. Hekate glanced down at the Ashanti pepper they picked, some part of her recoiling at the idea that the outsider might take it all. She bent down to the moment the stranger was off, picking eagerly at it so its properties might benefit the Ecrosians before anyone else. With a wordless glance to Ianthe, they were off at the first signs of the hunt.

"By ancient wisdom and nature's grace, may your aim be true and your quarry embrace its fate." She had stowed the peppers at a nearby tree before giving her blessing, careful to place them out of the thick muck so as to avoid a mouthful of it upon retrieval.

Such a large gathering of lions in a territory that neighbored her new home naturally made the adopted Saxe girl anxious. Yasmin watched from afar for a short time, hesitant, afraid they might have been some sort of war group ready to recreate the last raid made against the Brook. But no, as fragments of conversation reached her she realized it was merely an oversized hunting party. Not necessarily any better, but at least it put one small worry at ease.

She approached the outskirts of their gathering on halting footsteps, feeling out of place but simultaneously as if she had the most right to be here. “Please, Itri,” she whispered into the encroaching darkness, to the moon hidden from view, “let no harm come from this gathering. Let it be peaceful.” Not for the prey, of course; they needed that dead. But she didn’t need unnecessary bloodshed on her doorstep.

Not only was the bog far too close to the Mire, but it was dank, dark, and wet. Halimede's complaints could be heard for miles if one were listening close enough, but the vulgarity slipping past her tongue might had held the paws of mothers to their cubs' ears. Each step through the muck was thrice as hard as air, and she struggled to gain proper footing; perhaps she'd not been the smartest for trudging straight into the mud, but it offered a good cover, and stained her fur a dark brown. With a final whisk of her claws against the bark of the tree, thoroughly spent from her energetic trudge through the mud, the delightfully muddy Halimede was ready for the hunt.

i am the storm / and im coming for you


the rhino fell hard against the bog's ground which sent a slight tremor throughout the surrounding area. faustine breathed hard as she watched it go lifeless, bloodied, and injured from all of the scratch marks and bites. her heart beat against her ribcage and she thought she could go for something else -- a secret meal or two, if she could be quick with it. however, there were simply too many lions here to deal and she didn't want to let her greedy hunger push her into more trouble. thus, the wolfbron heiress took what she was owed from the fallen prey and quietly made her way back. of course, faustine made sure to take a large piece of the meal.

The hunt that occurred, as she crouched within the deep of the bog, was one she certainly wished she had participated in. If only for the fact that they had found not one but two rhinos. The likes of which meant that she needed to keep herself even more hidden but also out of the way entirely should they stampede her direction. Pushing a paw through the thick of the mud she slumped it on top of her head and spread it around. Doing her very best to keep it out of her eyes because she was still going to have to see to keep an eye on things. Spreading it on her legs a bit more, she then began to crouch/crawl on the outside of their hunting group. The rhinos managed to come down one after the other but not without great difficulty but thankfully these lions had numbers on their side. Numbers that were of no help to her now that they weren't pre-occupied, leaving Juliette to begin backing away from the scene before they suddenly decided to go lion hunting. exit juliette

She couldn't have imagined a worse creature. Fear kept her fettered to the back of the group, aided by the fact she struggled to keep up. For such large and hardy creatures they'd been surprisingly fast, hindered only by the unfamiliar and gnarled territory of the bog. Eventually, however, their large group of hunters won, and Aurelia had scarcely been any help in her pursuit. Thankful was she, for her blessings and prayers seemed to reach fruition, a habit she continued well into the hunt. Frustration lived in the crinkle of her brows, watching as the assailants began to take their fill. Aurelia felt unworthy, however, and turned to leave empty-handed, intent on turning back to the Lagoon to reflect and meditate.

Thank the Gods (or whoever was up there, Halimede frequently did not think, nor care), that she'd sharpened her claws before this affair. When the two rhinoceros burst through the underbrush and tore up the bog behind them, Halimede was thankful they would be just sharp enough to pierce through their tough skin. She'd spent the majority of the hunt snapping at their heels, dancing to avoid their frantic thundering. And by the time they were defeated, Halimede was breathless, her stomach curling with fervent hunger. Like a feral child she began to tear away large chunks of meat, before hastily retreating to whatever hovel she'd momentarily claimed.

They were lucky it were a rhinoceros. Unfamiliar and clearly out of place, the large beast struggled to navigate the bog with precision. But quickly realization settled in; there were not just one, but two. Their strange turn of luck had benefited them greatly, and though their skin was tough and hard to slice through, there were enough of them to overwhelm both beasts. By the time Kvare emerged from the fray, he was bloodied and breathless, but his exercise beforehand and the careful tucking of his chin against his throat had left him relatively unharmed. Satisfaction unfurled upon his lips, hastily carrying away his prize back toward the Cove.
