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!

+5 Study the plant life of a neutral territory


Day by day she became more familiar with this place they called home. Calypso knew it was likely to be a temporary place, but the explorations did a lot to distract her. It was hard for the peach female to be still - quiet moments felt like wasted moments. In her youth it was hammered in to her to always be busy - hunting or gathering or somehow serving her pride - and it was a habit she found hard to shed.

So she wandered. Up and down the shore. Today to the jagged rocks and the trapped pools of water, curious about what she might find. Oftentimes a trapped fish would make an easy meal, or snack at least, and if not then perhaps some flat pieces of kelp or seaweed with which to try for bandaging.

As she arrived at the pools she forced herself to be still for a moment. Moments of practice would give her a more calm mind and so she sat with eyes closed, the twitch of her tail the only indication that she was not entirely at ease.

Lotus lurked through the tides, eyes locked down as she looked for something to eat. Being a nomadic lady meant the search for food was constant, restless as no one would do that for her. And in silence she moved around, ears and eyes in high alert. She was much better from her injuries but she still didn't want to get herself more and without sigh of Envy and the rest she couldn't risk any more wounds.

She tried to be quiet, to make no sounds to betray her position. And with the wet sand around the pools she covered herself to try hiding her scent. She wasn't going to risk it. And looking into a pool she lurked for any trapped fish of crabs. Not noticing the other lurker. @Calypso

With her eyes closed she was more tuned in to her surroundings and it didn’t take long for her to realize she was not alone. Storm blue eyes snapped open and settled on the unfamiliar form with a glimmer of curiosity. By all appearances she was not a pride lion, though far be it from Calypso to make an assumption so readily.

“I saw a fish in d’at one,” she gestured towards one of the pools, her accent thick in the morning air. If it was good she needed then perhaps the information would be useful.

Lotus heart almost went to an stop when a voice reached her pointed ears, making her freeze for a few seconds. She wasn't expecting someone finding her, and a lot of thoughts and possibilities crowed her mind. She of course wanted to simply vanish and go away, but she saw in a dangerous place to do so. The rocks were slippery and falling could cause injuries, and that being a loner could be fatal in the long term. So she had no other choice but stay and confront anything the other female could do to her.

But nothing but an advice came from them. "Oh...I see." She answered as she finally got the bravery to look at who owned the voice. She felt a bit suspicious. Why would she tell her that? What did she wanted? She couldn't tell at all. Slowly she looked into the pool, seeing movement there. "I see something..."

It seemed that she had startled the unfamiliar female, though it definitely had not been her intent. Curious, how on edge she seemed -- Calypso reminded herself that the life of a rogue was not always an easy one. The ones who lived here were perhaps not always friendly; she had met her fair share of those type, after all.

In an attempt to appear less threatening she tried on a soft smile. It felt strange and unusual for her but she maintained it nonetheless and tried to be encouraging. "Should make a good bite if ye be hungry. The girl had not immediately went in to fishing mode and she wondered if she had ever caught a fish before. "Will no' be too hard to catch in d'at pool."

With now her attention taken by the fish, and he recently awaken hunger, she started to think in an strategy to get it out. Wind moving her long hairs, pointed ears switching from time to time, still in alert for any incoming attack. And she couldn't know of @Calypso didn't have a hidden plant to pounce into her, waited for her to turn her back. But being this hungry was fooling her common sense, her weariness.

"And are you going to hunt one too?... I mean.. i don't know." She sighed taking note of her stupid answer to the situation. "I am Lotus Black...and you?' Voice held some hesitation, but if anything happened she could always change her name and use this to fool potential attackers.

The child seemed uneasy, and Calypso was not sure how to make herself seem less threatening. Perhaps offering help?

"I am no' hungry, but if ye need help I cen help ye." The woman yawned, but did not move from her spot, not wanting to frighten the other. "It takes some patience. Ye wait until it comes close enough, and d'en strike with yer claws." It would be good for @Lotus to try first, but Calypso was not opposed to helping.

"If ye miss I cen show ye?"
