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.

Lucien always wondered what types of prey would call this high up home. It was what brought him here today, his curiosity getting the better of him. Yellow eyes observed his surroundings while he padded softly forward, a scent sticking out from the res that wafted in the warm air. So there was prey here but he wasn't sure exactly what type. His belly growled at the thought of something big, something that would feed not only him but any other lion that may want to help him for several days, if they took enough with them. Letting out several echoing chuffs, the cowboy awaits to see if any others would gather, body now lowering itself toward the cool rock surface as he crept forward.

oh. imogen recognizes him.

the intertwining of their fates again is familiar. the promise of a meal has her heeding her call once more, only this time, she is the first to arrive. imogen approaches slowly, feeling bare without the foliage of lowerlands to shield her. doe eyes seek to meet his gaze and she dips her head slowly, lips twitching upwards into the semblance of a soft smile before it falls flat. the medic gazes in the direction of the scent blown towards them on the breeze and she readies herself, chin held just a little higher and shoulders held back a little prouder. "i'll help." she finally announces, as if her dedication wasn't already obvious and she settles herself behind the hunter, awaiting his direction.

The half maned male ended up answering the call. It would be good to be able to stretch his legs for a bit. He needed something to do to alleviate the boredom that had set in. Once he got there he found only two individuals at the present.

"Found something already or just hoping that something is around?" The male queried before he turned his muzzle to the air in order to sniff around for the scent of prey. Hopefully there was some sort of indicator there to allow him to know in which direction to turn his attention.

Sometimes Hyperion went out of his way to climb Freyr Peak all the way up to the top because he liked how he could see basically the whole island from the Lookout. When he reached the top today, he was panting, but the breeze that rushed through the gathered trees up there was refreshing enough. The adolescent sat at the edge of the cliff for some time before he heard the echoing chuffs behind him. Looking over his shoulder, he considered going towards them.

The next breeze that blew towards him through the trees was indeed laced with something delicious, and that was pretty much the only nudge he needed to leave the cliff's edge and stalk through the trees behind him. Nevermind the fact that there were edges on all sides of them - Hyperion was driven by his stomach alone.

He answered back with a singular chuff, though was silent after that as he stalked through what underbrush he found to hide under. He soon joined the small party as they waited for a few more to begin the hunt.

She had been relaxing under the trees after a long day of skulking around, avoiding her duties and avoiding those who settled in the Mire (her family, mostly). She had found it rather breezy and relaxing at the top of the Peak, and that was where she spent most of her days as she contemplated where she should send herself next.

She was deeply disappointed that Caladan had chosen the side of her enemies, recruiting and promoting one to its leadership. She thought Keligan had more of a backbone, and the fact that the enemy had also shacked up with his wife? She could see now that she thought wrong of him.

She heard the summoning chuffs of some lion nearby, and as the wind blew through the trees again, she also smelled the musk of some unfortunate prey animal that had climbed up the mountain only to be cornered by a group of hungry lions. On the contrary, it'd probably be an easy hunt that required minimal effort from her... so she rose and joined them.

On the way there, she had passed by a strong-smelling plant and made sure to rub into it, roll on it, and collect its scent on her coat so that a sand-smelling lion didn't blow their cover completely.

Exercising here is not the best decision he's made.

Large, gnarled roots and foliage trail their branches like fingers across his white pelt as he goes. There's some small cuts and blemishes lacerating his skin, most of which he hasn't noticed yet, but is sure to feel later.

Launching himself off powerful hind legs, he clears a twisted branch in his way before noticing a large assembly of lions. Viggo starts towards the crowd in an easy and cumbersome saunter, still breathless. One girl around his age proposes a hunting tactic while another shoots her down.

The bickering warrants a small scoff from him, but he's not here to socialize. Claws unsheathe and patiently drag across a proximate tree, his attention trained on the brown man who brought them all here.

It's difficult to describe the sensation that looking down from this height can give a lion(ess). It's dizzying. Intoxicating. There exists a power in looking down at the world like it was nothing more than the unfolded pages of a storybook, and recognizing the life that traipsed about below as the diminutive insects they truly were.

And there exists an inescapable bitterness in knowing that she would merely be one of them, once her paws returned to solid ground.

And so she roughly brushes such thoughts away from her mind as she continues her ascent up to the mountain's peak, pausing in her exploration only when she heard a chuff ring out across the thin air. A hunt? How lucky.

There also exists a power in being able to take something's life away.

Surely @Valaine would agree, she thinks, quickly spotting the elegant form of her sister amongst the gathering group. Viveka struts over to her side, dark nose wrinkling in vague disgust when she caught wind of Valaine's new 'perfume.' "It's goink to take forever to vash zat off." She hisses out with a derisive huff, notably choosing not to participate in the same practice.

Why bother with stealth here, when a good spook might fulfill the hunters' task for them by way of a steep fall and a broken neck?

A beast like him seems ill-fitted for a place such as this, steep cliffs and rough trails presenting a deadly trial to all but the most agile of beasts. Yet as in all things, what Mircea lacks in agility, he makes up for in brute force and (perhaps more importantly) sheer force of will.

He stubbornly pushes his way up the steep paths even as his muscles strain with the effort, the sound of his extended talons scraping against stone singing out through the air as he climbs higher and higher, until the air grows chilled and the land below becomes a patchwork vista of greens and browns and blues stretching out all the way to the most distant horizons. An impressive sight to a beast that is used to living within the embrace of the earth.

But he is not left to contemplate the open air in silence for long. The nearby chuffs recenters his focus, driving him ever onwards and upwards until he could see the gathering felines. Hunting up here seems like a riskier gamble than most, he thinks.

But maybe it wouldn't be wrong to say that Mircea was in need of a thrill.

It wasn't everyday that Arkyn was around whenever a call for a hunt sounded. He had been visiting his father at the peaks, filling him in on what had happened recently, before taking off to sharpen some of his skills. He took toward the grotto at first, rubbing up against the trees and bushes that littered the rocky terrain to try to conceal most of his scent. One never had too much training on how to better disguise themselves, and the beast would take any opportunity he had to do just that. As he moves, Arkyn smudges his paw prints by pivoting his paws with each step, making them look nothing more than if the wind had kicked up some dirt.

It was while he were practicing that the call comes from the lookout, and with a soft grunt would the Viking decide to heed the call. Colossal form moves with purpose, and soon enough he comes to a gathering of lions, noticing one in particular, one that he had dominated in the Summit. His lips curl into a devious grin as he prowls forward body crouching a bit as he sniffed the air.
