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.

Krait grinned as he stood upon the dark shoreline, nostrils flared wide with his head tipped back and turned into the briny wind. Something was in the vicinity, something that tempted his hunter’s instincts and urged him to drop immediately into a prowl. He did for a little while, following the scent nearer to his target as he wound his way between the towering rock formations that littered the beach and offered cover.

But he stopped before he got too close; he was only one lion, and if he wanted to be smart about this, he needed some help. So he called out, a few quiet chuffs into the wind, hoping it would carry his voice to any strangers nearby and keep his target unawares. With a bit of help, he was certain he could feed himself and his little clan well that night.

Winter's chill was in full effect, and for a moment Artemisia wondered why she was making a trip to the shore in the first place. The ocean was surely to be freezing, and the salty wind that came with the territory was more than likely chilly and with a bite. But the scent of potential prey had led her here, and so with a deep sigh would she follow it. She kept herself aware of her surroundings, and soon she noted a lion right as he was calling out for others to join him on a hunt. With a smirk curling her lips, the huntress makes her way toward him and gives him a nod of her head. "Hopefully it's something good," she says softly, body crouching and waiting to move into action.

Jiera was scouring the shore for pigeon pea when she heard the chuffs in the air. It made her pause mid stride, green eyes staring before her. The sounds of a meal did sound like a good idea, so leaving her bundle of pigeon pea she had already gathered and were placed on top of a large leaf she begins to move in the direction she had heard the call. It doesn't take her long to find two others, giving them a soft smile while she gave her body a quick shake. She then allows herself to crouch, glancing around and staying alert. She was by no means a skilled hunter, but she was a useful and abled body that could help assist. She sniffs the air once more, wondering which type of prey lured them all here.

She wasn’t sure what plants she might be able to find along the shore, but when she arrived she was pleasantly surprised to find she would be able to make this trip as multipurpose as the rest of her hunts had been. She studied the plants, excited when she found some cape aloe. It was another multipurpose plant, but it’s use for wound dressings was what she was most interested in as she sliced a few leaves off the plant and set them on some flat rocks, far from the shoreline where she could come back to collect them before returning to Anthonius. When she was sure they were secure, she left to go join the hunters.

"Come over to the water, and I'll clean that for you," the dark lioness mumbled to the familiar form of @Karsa, the strawberry boy she had only recently healed at another hunt. "Ideally, I would have some Neem leaf or Devil's Claw for a poultice, but the sand here is too loose for them - or perhaps it is the wind-salt they don't agree with," the young lioness appeared deep in thought for a few moments.

Soon enough however, she led the youngster to the shoreline, "Salty water is great for fighting infection, you should remember that." Mismatched gaze would wander eagerly across the superficial wound, pondering how best to approach it. A paw would reach up to confidently brush some debris from the area.

if it was up to fate, it seemed @Aphid was going to be a familiar face for him. twice within the month, karsa has run into her injured. first it had been a slip and fall where he had hurt his back. before that had even gotten a chance to properly heal, here he was getting attacked by a seabird on a nice day of exploration. just his luck. he knew this was stygian shores based off of the towering sea towers that rose in the shallows, a distinct landmark that karsa had been told about before setting out. with a hunt seemingly brewing once more (apparently being injured at these was also becoming a pattern), the boy was eager once again to get a better vantage point. soon, he'd be big enough to participate.

he follows aphid down to the water, nodding at her instructions as he lamely holds out his ride foreleg where scrapes and shallow cuts were left behind. karsa had hunkered down immediately as the devil creature swooped, covering his head with his paws just before the onslaught began. hence the injuries. "i didn't realize they were nesting already. i bet that would be a good place to get some food in a pinch." his thoughts are repeated out loud to his company. "if you can scale the cliffs without falling, i guess" they seemed steep and karsa wasn't keen on losing his footing up there. he supposed hunger would drive someone to do scary things though and he couldn't deny how useful this knowledge would be during a drought or prey shortage. "has anyone ever tried climbing those towers? you'd probably get a crazy view of all the prey in the area from there... and it might keep you safe from a high tide." he muses.

IANTHE
1 Y | No Bonuses

From the air, a pelican dives expertly into the waves, beak-first. Ianthe is on a hunt of her own, for the nursing herbs that she can sometimes spot growing where the grass meets sand. She'll be up for a more literal hunt later, but as always, nursemaid duties come first.

The pelican has long since flown off, oblong beak full of fish, by the time Ianthe has gathered everything she needs. She moves off the grass and onto the black, coarse sand, following the scent of prey and lions on the ocean breeze.

Salt itself had it's uses, great to scrub at flesh and give wounds a very intense cleaning. It might not be the patient's favorite experience however... so as Thisbe wanders, collecting and noting what plants were around, she skipped on the salt. There was however ample sea grass washed up to shore and already dried in the air. She snatched that up quick just as voices began to grow louder.

Looked like another hunting party, one she was happy to jump in on while the opportunity was here. Silently the red lioness moved in close enough to display her intentions but kept distance enough to avoid company. All business.

she watches them all keenly, her paws tucked beneath her and hips shifted to roll onto one side. she'd been strolling their way when the scent of all of them hit her - hard enough to root her to the spot. haven had begun weaving, then, twisting and turning and hopping from spot to spot, occasionally ducking into the saltwater to confuse anyone who may be hunting her. they weren't of course. but her history has her playing cautious where a large grouping of strangers are concerned.

when she finds them, the medic tucks herself among the tall fronds of the coast shrubs and studies them. there's a handful of other healers among them, all boasting different scents and haven finds a softer smile curving her lips. if they were all hunting together, she presumes they can't be all that vicious.

even so, she doesn't join them - merely waits where she is, gathering what minute information she can from their interactions.

The shore called to her, the ocean a low hum in the distance. Reine moved across the darkened sand, her orange gaze scanning the shoreline for any useful herbs that might come in handy for her own cache. As she moved she could not ignore the low rumble of hunger that vibrated through her. It seemed though that she wasn't the only one that was looking for a quick bite. For as she moved further down the beach she began to notice more individuals ahead, all gathering together to hunt for something. The towering woman would move closer, still keeping an eye on the distant ocean but otherwise turning her attention to the others gathered, hoping to help wherever was needed.
