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!

A flood of passion and desire, an attraction that was instant but slow festering. Between the two of them they are extremely passionate and driven, a world that is entirely up in the air as they progress for their lives together with a lot of unknowns. The only thing that's known? Their desire for each other is a raging fire and their passion for the future only wilder.

>> sedona casales


Sedona is just as much a product of her heritage as she is of circumstance. Her nature demands that life goes her way--a stubborn little thing, with attitude to spare. She is born possessive of what she deems as hers, from her favorite chewing bone to her sleeping quarters, to the friends she keeps. Possessions determine one's place in the world and she is not keen to let go of what anchors her. Sedona views life through a rather literal lens, preferring to live in the present rather than making any grand plans for her future. Those more prone to philosophical drawl will struggle to keep her attention and may even earn her ire, as she sees this as a waste of time at best and, at its worst, a malicious mask.

Sleep disorders stunt her growth very early on, and she will never grow to reach even her mother’s size. As a Casales's strength is their marker of success, Sedona is aware of her small stature very early on and is prone to overcompensating in her words and actions so that her value cannot be questioned. She makes an art out of hunting and practices tirelessly to perfect her craft and provide for her pride, also taking an interest in the medicinal properties of the vegetation of the mire to try and aid with her sleeping troubles.

While the future is not often on her mind, Sedona will eventually discover that she feels driven toward providing for family--be they her pride or any future cubs she may bear. She thrives the most when she feels a valued part of a group and will be a hard friend to get rid of once she latches onto those she loves. She is content to leave matters of ambition to her siblings in favor of enjoying more simple pleasures such as a good meal or a beautiful day.

eating bones
feathers/trinkets

hates:

LÚTHIEN CASALES
[ mist woman, lady of war, the dark lamb ]
barbarian/paladin or paladin/ambassador
voice: [click]


appearance


CUB ONE; gray coat, purple eyes, dark eye circles, global subtle shading, bonus marking 1, bonus marking 2, etc, smaller side of large (451 lbs, 45in), extra fluffy coat w/ slightly longer claws (note: may purchase nose blaze marking)

inelegant in design, with claws too long and a gray too sickly and dark to be considered beautiful. amongst her siblings, lúthien is not the most outstanding in looks, but she is healthy and large, a testament to her father's will and mother's strength. her legs are strong and thick, with lush fur lining the back. her face resembles half a lynx and half a lion, both rounded ears and tufts that sprout from the cheeks and behind the ears. the fur on her chest is just as much, but when one holds her close, they will feel the supple muscles rippling beneath. she is more long than tall, with a natural femininity in her curves and dips. yet still, lúthien is not the prettiest; traits one may find in a proper woman, like her mother maia, are rare to see. she is more like her father, with a stoic and masculine face befitting of a warrior. there's very little one may see of her mother in her, save for the diluted version of maia's gray and the subtle marking on her nose. once she turns a full year, she will start to accessorize with full feathers in an assortment of colors.

personality


she is the shield and her family's most valiant sword. she is also the firstborn, the misty princess of the mire, and the heart to her family's strength. from the day she is conceived into this world, lúthien guides her siblings with a protective paw and a level-headed mind. lúthien does not mind the hierarchy of eldest male being betrothed, but she also believes it a necessity, as eldest of three siblings, to lead and set herself as a good example. not to lord over, but to guide and protect, and to keep outside environment from stifling their growth. but her utmost desire is to prove to her family that she is reliable and worthy of being a casale daughter. she longs to be useful and steadfast, with a resilience to match her mother and charisma like her father. though enticed by a good spar, she is honorable and fair. anything that may make the fight unfair is cause enough for lúthien to stop and postpone.

it seems there are very little that gets underneath her skin, unless it's matters of the family and the heart. the latter is a carefully guarded secret, but lúthien is prone to escaping strong emotions both literally and figuratively. she cannot handle the burden of being in love, in grief, or, if the spirits will, in hatred. for when she feels, she feels strongly. it'll take her many years before she can properly accept these feelings as the norm.

since her youth, she has a fascination with stories of her parents' conquests and tales of heroes and warriors. as she grows, she will impart her knowledge to her siblings in her own way. is it not the responsibility of the oldest to be a proper role model? even if it means showing them how to fight and how to dominate, to defend and to consume. she protects her family fiercely and will be the first to act should danger provoke them. ever the sacrificial lamb, lúthien will not hesitate to throw her body forward and suffer the consequences for anyone she loves. and like a shield, she is staunch and rigid in her stance. once she forms her own opinions, it will take many years and actions for her to change her mind. being born princess, lúthien speaks differently to those outside of her family and are of lower status. the kindness in her words veil condescension, even coldness, that which she may or may not be aware of.

Sex: Male (Gender Swap)
Build: Large
Coat: Grey
Eyes: Purple
Markings: 1 genetic (Eye circles), 1 global (Light speckling), 2 bonus (Eye speckles, Face shading)
Genetic Mutation: Extra fluffy fur
Random Mutation (optional): Slightly longer claws
Random Disease (optional): none




Name: Amandil Casales

Description: As a child, he is of monochromatic coloration - his eyes the only bright speck of color from his palette. His pelt is a shade of charcoal grey, his eyes are surrounded with a double set of dark circles inherited from his father, and beneath his eyes - kissing his cheeks are the speckles of his mother. There is a faded shading to his face and cheeks that will eventually blend in with his mane. Upon his hide is faint speckles of ash, concentrated mostly upon his back, hips, shoulders and head, but they do fall like snow upon his limbs.

As an adult, his mane of darkest ebony will grow in, surrounding his frame and extending down his belly. His legs will be graced with the longer fur of those more suited towards cooler temperatures, and they too, will be shaded in ebony strands. Extra fluffy with claws that never quite seem to retract fully, this lion will grow to a large size, and bulk in muscle in his shoulders and chest like his father.

Personality: A lot rests upon his shoulders from a young age, and he knows that it's expected of him to be the exemplary son. As such, the child seems to grow out of his childhood playtime faster than most - taking criticism to heart and using it to form who he is. He looks up to his parents and wishes to please them, to make them proud. As such, he takes the mantle placed upon his shoulders very seriously. This includes the care of his siblings, and the duty to his family to wed whom he is placed with.

An honor he finds great pride in, and will go out of his way to ensure that the affianced is proud of him as well. He will often - and perhaps it is his folly - but he will often find himself stepping up into situations he may not yet be ready for, in an attempt to find approval from his parents.

Antonio Casales
Because I’m weak lol;

Antonio Casales;

“If you want a rainbow, you have got to put up with a little rain first.”

Name; Antonio
Name meaning; Boy. Latin. Shortened version of Anthony which is either from the Latin antonius which is of unknown origin but was a Roman family name thought to mean "priceless", or from the Greek anthos, meaning "flower".

Cub #3
Sex: Male
Build: Large
Coat: Bronze
Eyes: Full Heterochromia, purple and purple
Markings: 1 genetic, 2 bonus
Genetic Mutation: Bobbed tail
Random Mutation (optional): none
Random Disease (optional): none

Trades;
Ambassador & Barbarian
PERSONALITY;
From the moment his glimmering purple eyes open Antonio would have the light of the sun in him. As a cub he would be nothing but the perfect prince, his desire to be perfect and make his family proud is undying. Through his sometimes serious tone glimpses of glee and happiness radiate from him. All he ever wants to do is earn his place and prove himself. Al the while, being a fun loving little boy who virtually walks on fluffy moon filled clouds.

He may be full of joy and emotion, but he is not weak by any means. He is not NIAVE. They will be no need for fancy words of soft tone- get straight to the point. After all, an angel prince has no time for the fanciest of words if they are only to save feelings. He’s a big boy, tell him what’s happening as it is. He is no fool, only a true fool could take him for such. He’s clever, strategical in a way. He always has time for a little wonder and imagination, but there is also time for true fact. No matter how harsh or painful. To hide something from him to spare his emotions, in his mind is worse than lying and spitting in his face.

His efforts to prove himself are constant. He loves each and every one of his siblings, but he wants to be better. He wants to be the best. For while his loyalty is never ending, he won’t just sit in shadows. His cubhood will likely be spent trying to tag around with his parents and siblings or challenging them to spars. All in freindly nature and a good manner of course.

With age, he would contribute as much as he can, hosting hunts and begging to attend any sort of important diplomatic activities and keeping relations with allies strong would be a goal. When his father decides if he shall be betrothed, Antonio will provide no protest, as meek as a kitten.
