December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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!

Barony was all well and good, but there was only so much she could do with it. She wanted more. Of course, she knew well how these challenges tended to go for her, so she was moderating her hope, but she was no less determined to make the attempt. She would prove herself, both to the pride and the Dieudonne, so that when her brother returned (because that was a when not an if to her) she would be able to show him something that would hopefully make him proud of her.

She could have gone for Noble, or Gentry, she knew, but one step at a time. Besides, she did so enjoy sneaking around. Not as much as other members of the pride, she knew, but she did at least have the skills needed for it. It was such fun to creep around in the dark and initiate a fight from the shadows.

So she called for any who would meet her challenge for the right to call herself lead scout. She might have considered lead fighter, but she didn't think her abilities were quite up to the challenge yet, and the position was already held by a man who had proven himself suitable over and over again. Best to start here, she decided.

Ears would perk, they knew that voice. For a moment the boy would pause, soaking in the challenging call, he would chew on his lip- a show of his nerves- before he turned sharply and moved quickly in the direction of the lioness that beckoned to fight. Dark form would rush through the early spring grounds of the bluffs until her onyx figure came into view. Finally he would slow, heart hammering as a look of excitement flashed in his black gaze. A grin stretched across his facade, as he approached. For a moment his nerves forgotten as he approached boldly. As if he were going to accept her challenge. Only to duck his head to her, showing he had no intention of fighting her. He would aim to give @Dysnomia a playful but rough bump of his shoulder, “good luck” he’d offer as he passed before turning to move to the sidelines, plopping down to wait and watch.

He liked Dysnomia and hoped she would get the position she wanted.

Unmistakably, a rank challenge issued forth across Wolfbron Bluffs, which wasn't unheard of. Although she wouldn't participate, she arrived to watch whom sought the lead scout rank. Pallid countenance found itself on the outskirts, nearer @Evren, though she didn't know him personally. Small downturn of her skull was offered in greeting to the youth as she seated her tail-less haunches to the ground, eyes traveling to @Dysnomia to watch the woman's efforts to obtain a rank within the pride. Another lion she didn't know personally, although this face she'd seen among the pride members many times now; an established member of Wolfbron, much like herself. "May the gods smile upon you." Small encouragement came with the upturn of lips, soft voice threading into the air as she offered support for her pride mate.

(Lycaonia is observing.)

Belated and slow, pudgy limbs wide, Palpatine waddled toward the group. She barely needed to squint in the light of clear day. Habitually her nostrils twitched, occasionally leading her gaze from her path (precipitating a stumble) but once the group of light and dark lions entered sight she squeaked and bound-hopped toward them. "I fight! I fight anyone! No smiling in fighting!" despite this proclamation, she beamed as she chased her tail in a circle. It always preceded her and none of her swipes drew near. Here the stone ground lies clear with no obstacles to hinder her growing exuberance.

She might run into somebody, oopsie poopsie.

She drifts towards the call with lackadaisical grace, hopping from one rock to the next as she makes her way. By the time she arrives her stride is much more even and there is already a small crowd -- it seems she is not the only one intrigued by the summons. The challenger is easily spotted and doesn't @Dysnomia already have a rank? Owlishceyes blink, considering for a moment; lead scout seemed far more important than barony, inching closer and closer to the top. Such ambition was to be encouraged, non? even when it comes from outside the family.

Deftly her paws carry her @Lycaonia's side, siddling up to her to fill the vacant spot at her side. A quick glance was given to @Evren ( who she knows only in context of being her sister's shadow -- which was not a good thing ), before looking back to the challenger. There too is an excitable child but she ignores them, as she's ignored most of the new cubs cropping up in the bluffs. Lazare liked scouting and so, she liked this woman now too -- regardless of if she won today or not.

And surely she would win.

She watched @Evren as he approached, shrewd dark eyes tracking his movements, awaiting his charge... which didn't come. An amused huff left her as he instead deferred to her, returning his shoulder bump as he walked by and keeping him in the corner of her eye as he made his way to the sidelines.

A large older woman approached next, and again Dysnomia briefly braced for the fight, except she too was there to offer support, and Dysnomia nodded in acceptance of her blessing though she didn't believe in any sort of god.

She lowered her head to study the cub that approached, slight confusion furrowing her brow as she tried to determine who she might belong to. Too young to be one of the sovereign's cubs, she thought, and she didn't know anyone else who was pregnant within the pride. Perhaps she had simply been found somewhere and brought back. Regardless, Dysnomia was quite amused by her. A mighty warrior you are, she commented, turning her attention to the last to arrive, one she knew to be one of the royals, earning her a deferential bow of her head.

She continued to wait several minutes, but it was evident no one else was interested in the rank, or perhaps not interested in fighting her. She was going to choose to believe it was the latter. It seems you'll not have a show today, unless any of you wish to spar, she said, turning her attention to those who had gathered.

Amara watched from afar to see if anyone would come and challenge the lioness. No one showed. Amara moved toward her, her golden gaze scanning the lioness. There was a long history here with her and Amara wondered just what it was that the lioness would want out of her life. Amara arrived and looked toward those gathered, none who challenged her. The position is more than fighting. She started as she looked back toward @Dysnomia. You need to show that you are able to gather information without being spotted and be useful in bringing that information to the leaders. She glanced toward the youth with her, this would be a good lesson for them. Dysnomia what have you learned about the lions here that you think would be good for me to know? Her gaze looked back to the black lioness the opposite of her brother who had yet to return from his hunt for his adoptive mother.

At his approach, Dysnomia had sized him up, anticipated a fight, but when one had not come she returned his bump with an amused huff. A smirk pulled at his lips, even as she followed him until he sat on the sidelines, as if making sure he wasn’t going to sneak attack her. He would never…not for a rank anyway. The youth watched as others showed, one being an annoying but confusing cub.

The boy listened as she praised the young cub and then explained their would be no show today, unless someone wanted a spar. His ears perked, glancing around for a moment before he began to rise. Of course, @Amara would show as he rose to his feet, stating the rank was not about fighting, but learning information and then bringing it back. She then asked what @Dysnomia had learned about those gathered. For a moment he froze, immediately recalling their conversation on the beach. He tried to hide the stiffening by awkwardly sitting back down on his butt. Shifting slightly as he sat on his tail. Had he told her anything worth knowing? His gaze, slightly widened, would remain on the melanistic lioness, ears forward, and heart racing, wondering what she would say. Calm down, you aren’t hiding anything. He tried to calm his nerves, but his gut refused to relax.

Her attention was almost immediately pulled to the high sovereign's approach, and she bowed her head respectfully to her, somewhat expecting the woman to fight her over the rank. But, no, she had a different kind of test in mind.

Dysnomia turned her attention to those gathered, thinking intently. She didn't know the pale woman (Lycaonia) at all, so she was out, and so was the cub. Lazare was royalty and also mostly an unknown to her, and besides it seemed like a poor idea to say anything about her even if she did know something. Which just left the briefly very uncomfortable looking @Evren. Well, it wasn't like Amara had told her to share anything negative about them, just things that might be good for her to know.

The only one I know well enough is Evren, she admitted. She'd give him a look or a wink to let him know she wasn't about to chuck him under the proverbial bus (though perhaps off the literal cliff was a better analogy) but she didn't want Amara to think she was hiding anything. He is loyal to the pride and the Dieudonne, particularly Faustine. She didn't think that was a bad thing to say about him, but it was also something that Amara probably already knew.

I have been practicing disguising my scent. I can imitate other pride scents, and would be able to gather information that way, she added. I know we are at war with the Oasis, along with the majority of the other prides in the lands. They are likely on high alert due to this but perhaps it would be a good time to check up on our old enemies within the Hollow, to ensure they aren't planning anything while we are distracted by other foes. That was what she would do, take advantage of their distraction.
