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.

THEODEN


Theoden needed to not wait long for an answer to his questions. The woman before him seemed very willing to give her information over. He knew, however, that it was not without purpose that she did so. He knew she was trying to recruit him, and while he knew little about her pride, he had not considered the idea of joining one. He’d, in some regard, felt that it was not in the cards of fate for him to be a pride member of any sort, especially not after the disaster that had befallen his natal tribe. Theoden almost shuddered at the thought of the massacre that had befallen them, taking family and friends from the man in but a few hours. He resigned himself to keeping his emotions in check, after all, there was no need to show them at the moment. But he could not help the wave of regret and sadness that wrapped its way around his heart at the thoughts of everything that had happened – and everything even he had not been able to do to save them all.

”We value both freedom and loyalty to your comrades above all else. Our ranks do not claim women and children unless it is a concern of dire safety. Not all prides share such ideals if that doesn’t suit you. In the same vein, Caladan does not hold anyone against their will and we both encourage and reward participation in the pride.” Morrigan stated. Theoden nodded slightly. He himself had never understood the purpose of prides that forcefully claimed, but he presumed that there was a method to the madness of it. He, however, did not approve of it, and it most certainly did not align with his ideals and values in life, and what he expected to get out of things. At least the woman had been transparent about their ideals on the matter, and at least he had not been approached by someone whose pride did hold such – at least in his mind – abhorrent values.

”There are eight prides in total, but Ecrosia Mire was recently rendered uninhabitable by a flood. The others are Vermeda Brook in the most northern woodlands, Wolfbron Bluffs in the mountains, Obsidian Hollows in the caverns to the west. Andal Oasis sits in the far western desert. Firnen Rainforest is to the east near the Mire and finally the Cove’s ally and neighbor, Scilla Lagoon.” The woman said. Theoden nodded, trying to keep up, putting the information thrown at him away in the back of his mind. He would have to remember these things as he explored and traveled around, as they were important bits of information to know. Of course, he assumed that each pride had their territory marked, but nevertheless, it was important to know an area’s inhabitants, at least in some regard before entering even close to their borders. At least, that was how Theoden’s mind worked. Perhaps not everyone held the same thoughts in terms of exploring.

”Until the last couple of years this land knew only peace, the natives sheltered within high walls. Maua opened the passage to outsiders and since we’ve arrived… warfare and all its side effects have followed.” Theoden grimaced visibly, nodding slightly.

”It is expected, I suppose. I’m not a stranger to warfare, that much is true about me. It’s sad, however, that the arrival of outsiders have ruined what sounds like a good thing. I must say, peace sounds… nice.” he chuckled slightly, movement suddenly catching his attention. Theoden’s gaze turned and locked upon a darker pelted man approached. The man held scars upon his features, the existence of which mattered little to Theoden beyond the obvious knowledge that the man at least in some regard knew how to fight. The scent that lingered upon the other – much larger – man told Theoden as much as he needed to know. He was another pride member, but of a different one than Morrigan was. Theoden wondered which pride this scent belonged to. The man spoke in a baritone, smooth as an algae-covered river rock.

”I see Morrigan has been filling you in on the proceedings of the land. I am Magnus Sigrun; my family control the Lagoon.” The man would state. ’Ah, okay. This is one of the Cove’s allies. Interesting,’ Theoden thought to himself. The passage, he decided, must be a place recruiters lurked to try to scoop up lone lions and lionesses as they entered a new kingdom. It was a smart tactic, Theoden had to give it that.

”I did not catch your name. Or what it is you seek?” The man continued on.

”My name is Theoden. It’s a pleasure to meet a member of another pride, more so one that Morrigan said was an ally to her own. I seek nothing, beyond knowledge. I had not considered joining a pride – but I suppose I could be convinced, nothing is out of the realm of possibilities.” Theoden stated, his accent heavy on some words as he spoke.
