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!

September 26th, 2023 A series of pride challenges spark up across the peninsula, while warring families face-off as tensions reach their boiling points. Anthonius Savante barely manages to escape the clutches of Apollinaire Dieudonne with his life, while death looms over the broken truce between the Valour-Greyflood and Saxe families.

September 4th, 2023 After Tinúviel collapsed at the Wolfbron Bluff's challenge, she was unable to make it back to the Lagoon to take up her leadership position again and the pride disbands. Diomedeidae & Cirilla fight for the pride.

August 28th, 2023 Both Amara and Morrigan keep their prides. Lachesis doesn't show to defend the Brook and Renfri takes over. The Wolfbron Bluffs challenge seems to be setting off fireworks already.

August 15th, 2023 The two longest standing female leaders are both fighting for their prides once again. Anthonius challenges Amara for the Bluffs. Amaroq challenges Morrigan for the Summit. A new leader faces his first challenge as Renfri challenges Lachesis for the Brook. Did anyone think that peace was something the island was able to have?

August 1st, 2023 Conflict, drama, love, and loss - the lands are never free from any of it for more than a fleeting moment. As the summer months wane on and the season nears its end, there is no telling what is coming next upon the horizon.

June 19th, 2023 With the rains leaving and spring upon the island, things are heating up among the lions. Bruno seeks to unseat his father in the Mire. Helah looks to dethrone Scorpius in the Oasis and keep the fire between the Bluffs and the Oasis alive. The Plains have raided the Brook and allies on both sides showed up to help.

May 23rd, 2023 All is fair in love and war - moments of chaos and peace lull in a cyclical nature across the lands of Amaryllis, though most are wise enough to know that the quiet never lasts quite long enough.

April 20th, 2023 Alexander manages to win the Hollows and Tiamat keeps the Lagoon. Vághan challenges Amara for the Bluffs but Amara is able to hold off another challenger and keeps the Bluffs. The Cove was hit by a storm that washed away it's leader leaving the lands open to be claimed by Nephthys and Keligan who both are attached to the land. Cirilla attempts to take the Oasis from Scorpius who seems driven to keep the land.

April 5th, 2023 It doesn't take long for the dust to kick up as the Hollows is challenged for by Alexander once again and the Lagoon is challenged for by Fernweh.

March 31st, 2023 As wars and challenges continue to break out across the lands, Amaryllis is certainly keeping up with its turbulent reputation. One can only hope that the dust will settle soon enough - for everyone's sake.

March 10th, 2023 The turbulance of the prides never ceases for very long, as a violent landslide forces the members of Firnen Rainforest to evacuate and disband. Who will step up for the throne this time around?

March 1st, 2023 While Gauthier manages to retain control of Caladan Cove, Lorien Plains' fate is not so simple. With Aeistrios overthrowing Violarum and taking the pride's throne, how will things unravel from here?

Summer
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

4 years, Level 3 Ranger (+1 hunt roll, -1 prey dodge roll)

The Hot Springs was not a normal location for a hunt, but the pink Ranger liked a challenge. Leaving the safety of the Brook early in the morning, Raizel chuffed for any of her fellow pride mates who might want to come along. It was a trek but she finally made it to the Hot Springs and decided to relax for a moment. Pink gaze glanced around for a potential target as she lowered herself to hide among the stones and sparse plants. Keeping her ears pinned down, she dove herself under some of the freshly fallen snow. Trying to make herself not be there but man, it was cold.

(I'm gonna ask for a roll on 3/21)

they have come in to his land -- their land -- and the beast notices. a clack of beak is enough to draw his focus from the caverns to the springs, heavy paws carrying him towards the strange pink form.

he raced across the tundra, legs flying, muscles burning. it felt good, the air icy in his lungs, and thus he is the first to arrive after the summons went out.

"they trespass, bjorn. they trespass, but ahh, they could aid us. can you smell the prey? i want it; give them strength to bring it down so that i might have its heart." a grin, then, as he slid near to the strange girl.

"we must feast," he rumbled to her, ice eyes boring in to her smaller frame as he stood, the marble sentinel he always was.

Hexa had been hooked on exercise lately. She always ended up somehow testing herself in some way. Especially her muscles and especially in her limbs. Today, she found herself racing through the tundra. Testing herself against the freezing temperatures and snow. It was rather rough on her limbs though, and she was growing tired quickly.

She decided it was not worth it. She didn't want to over-exert herself or injure herself in some way. And so she slowed down, and thankfully she found herself within a rather peculiar place. Suddenly she was surrounded by hot springs, and she found two other lions not too far off. She made sure to scout her surroundings just in case. A very tall man was next to a smaller lioness, and Hexa approached them. She lowered her body as they did, wondering if perhaps they had found some prey not too far off.

With her leg healed Ulva is now testing the limits of her strength. She had been idle for well over a month and the price she paid for healing was showing. She grew tired easily, her muscles aching more quickly. Still, she would not allow the injury to control her.

The tundra is vast. She races across the permafrost, in a space where there is yet little snow, her paws pounding against the ground in a frenzy as she pushes to see just how fast she can go. She feels free when she runs, as if she is really the Hawk, flying through the air and diving after her prey.

But then a scent catches her attention. Strangers on the tundra, and heading towards the hot springs that she loves to relax at. Her ears prick forward and she races towards them, hoping to warn them away before the brothers find them.

She is too late, though. Draven is already there, moving close to a woman. Another woman, brightly colored, is there as well. And then she catches the scent of prey and she slows, approaching them more carefully. They are here for a hunt then? Well, she may as well join them and keep an eye on her real prey in the meantime. She settles in, her white fur blending into the snow as she waits for the hunt to begin, one eye always carefully on Draven.

Occam had thought to settle in the hot springs and relax for a bit. The heat would do good for loosening the muscles. At first he would assume that he wasn't the only one with that thought in mind given the number of others whom had gathered in the area. But then he caught the word feast. Ah, so that is what was going on.

Might as well join in. He could use a feast as well. Feast first and then a relaxing dip in the hot springs to help with digestion. It sounded good to the male.

The invitation to hunt was a welcome sound, drawing the listless lion near. Keen golden eyes scanned the arena with mingled curiosity and doubt. It was a strange place to go for a hunt. Perhaps the leader of the hunt had caught something on the wind that he had yet to catch onto? Quietly he approached the group, taking quick inventory of who was here so far as he took up a spot toward the rear where he would wait until go-time.

@Ulva's leg has been healing nicely, it’s true. but still, faolán worries — worries enough to follow after her as she treks through the landscape. it’s a good way to help herself, too — after the incident at the grotto, she’d been too busy sulking to do much else aside from heal and rest. she needed to get back into things, to get her muscles working again; her pace is slow and measured, careful to keep to the shadows here. she’s used to the tundra, she knows where and how to hide here. practicing stealth is easy, of course, until her steps pause, fluttering, as she realizes that ulva is hunting someone else, too — @Draven. easily her gaze shifts away, stepping closer to her sister as she waits for the hunt to begin.

Oooo. What was this area? There seemed to be a peculiar warmth radiating from the waters here, even though the air was crisp with cold. Oh, how she longed to take a little dip and experience what it would be like for your body to be warm and wet while your nose was nipped by bitter winds. But she had come here following a call for a hunt, and so she'd have to let that curiosity wait for the time being. Settling in toward the middle of the group, she let her lilac gaze sweep across the new faces, offering a smile anytime she caught another's gaze.

The hot springs was an odd place indeed to call for a hunt, but that wouldn't stop the curious feline. Ruger followed the sound of a lion calling out to others to join, and with a soft huff would the lion clear the distance between where he were located to where the call had come from. The thick mist and fog that was created by the warm waters would shift and wrap around him as he neared, red gaze shifting as he watched his surroundings.

The group would come into view soon enough, a couple of them vaguely familiar to the spotted man. Tail flicks behind him as he settles into a crouch, toes flexing and hind legs rocking back and forth slightly as he adjusted himself so that he were ready to spring into action when the time was right.

The last time she had been at the hot springs she had met a rather handsome lion, an encounter that ended with quite the intimate night. But that wasn't what brought Artemisia back here; the thought of being able to soak and relax a bit was what piqued her interest to make the journey here. It was while she were on her way there that the call of a hunt rung out in the foggy air, causing for a brow to rise. Such a peculiar place to hunt in, but the woman wouldn't turn it down.

She'd pad swiftly toward the group, whiskers twitching as droplets from condensation settled upon them. Her lithe form would slink through, eyes shifting between those that were gathered; all quite the abled bodies, perhaps enough to allow Artemisia to simply guide their prey with little effort to its demise.
