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.

Ygritte had never been here. Or if she did, her player doesn't remember. Anyways, she traveled through the area carefully, picking her way through on delicate paws. She was uncertain of this place. Even though she couldn't see there was something different here. She could feel it. Ears constantly twisting on top of her head as she would walk quietly through. Listening for everything and anything even as her nose caught different scents. But it wasn't the scents that were causing her fur to be prickly. It was something different and she couldn't put a paw on it.

This place had become a constant haunt of Iofiel's. If he wasn't in the desert then he was likely to be found here. There was solace here that he couldn't explain. He felt nearly at home here as he did within the desert. But here there was no worry for survival as there was in the desert. In fact there were no worries at all. He came to this place to find peace.

But that peace was put on hold as someone else came into the area. His summon for Daario was put on hold as he turned to look towards the other whom was making their way into the area. Of course he shouldn't be surprised that others came here. It wasn't like it was some sort of forbidden place or anything.

"Hello. Have you come to speak with anyone in particular? I can wait if need be." Iofiel could understand the want for a private conversation. That was how he liked to keep most of his conversations with Daario.

@Ygritte

Iofiel typically wears a neutral expression and rarely shows emotion. He is soft spoken but has a deep voice when he speaks. He is especially shy and quiet around those he finds attractive.

With her concentrate having been majorly on the other sensation's and feeling that her body was giving her, Ygritte hadn't focused in on the scent that had been growing ever stronger. So when a voice came to hit her ears, Ygritte paused in her trail and blinked her foggy jewels. I.. Um.. No..I'm not. I just.. felt like i needed to be here. She would stutter. The scent she caught was different. It smelled like sand but not like the one with sea salt on it. It was different and this was definitely a male she was speaking to. I didn't mean to interrupt your visit.

"There is a certain draw to be here." Iofiel admitted. "It is peaceful here." It was almost a home away from home sort of feeling. He could fully understand the draw of wishing to be in this place. He was drawn here often himself. Daario was also a big part of that draw for him.

"You have interrupted nothing. I have only just got here myself." He had yet to have even had time to call out for Daario. "Perhaps you were drawn to make a friend here as well." THe first time he came he hadn't come with the expectation to meet Daario. Since then he had learned that this was where the spirits of Amaryllis resided. Perhaps a spirit had unwittingly called out to this lioness and drew her here.

Perhaps he was right and slowly she moved in the direction of his scent and voice. It was peaceful here and there was a lot that she could feel. Ygritte had never been here and therefore hardly knew about the spirits outside of Maua herself. So this was new, but at the mention of making a friend she would give a small smile. Perhaps I am. She would admit as she would finally settle down near his scent. Perhaps you are the friend I am to make? Ygritte would question with a tilt of her head and a twist of her ear. I am Ygritte Valour by the way.

There was something odd in the way the lioness moved but Iofiel refrained from speaking on it. It was as she came closer that he noticed her milky eyes. That certainly explained things. But since it didn't seem to bother her so he made no mention of it. Then perhaps the girl had never known what it was to see to begin with. But as she seemed healthy and capable enough, that was enough to ease any concern that Iofiel might feel.

"Perhaps I am." He couldn't begin to say how fate worked. And then the lioness gave her name. "I am Iofiel Nimri. Valour, you said? Would you be another of Daario's daughters?" The Spectre had so many of them and Iofiel still had yet to meet all of them.

A pleasure to meet you, @Iofiel. She would state with a grin on her merle face. Though when he asked if she was a daughter of her - well grandfather - Ygritte would give a little chuckle and shake her head at him. No, I'm not a daughter, but a granddaughter. Though she never got formally introduced to him, she knew of him. So you know my grandfather? Surely he did. There weren't many that didn't know the Spectre. The Valour family was well known within Amaryllis due to them being apart of the longest standing pride that their home land has seen.

"I do. Your grandfather is a... friend of mine." There was a slight pause as he came up with the best way to describe the relationship that he had with the Spectre. They were friends. This he knew for certain. More than that? Well, a part of Iofiel hoped so. But he wasn't certain just how that was meant to work either. Daario wanted life again and Iofiel was unable to give that to him. He could visit all of the time but it still wasn't the same.

"I come here often in order to speak with him. He misses his family greatly." And Iofiel knew that he was no substitute for that. "May I ask of which of his children are you daughter to?" There were so many and he wasn't certain if he would know of whom the girl was progeny or not.

I'm glad my grandfather has a friend. Or perhaps they were more, but Ygritte wasn't sure. If foggy jewels were not blinded by the darkness then perhaps she would have seen the more than just hearing the pause. However, she was blind and only heard a pause and didn't think of anything else into it. But to hear that her grandfather missed his family caused some guilt in her chest. This is my first time here.. She would confess, listening to the area around them. Breathing in the new scents that she was unaware of. Nymeria is my mother! She would squeak then, giggling in excitement. She loved Nymeria more than anything.

"He would rather have family instead of a friend." Not that he was trying to make the girl feel guilt. He was only answering honestly. "Family means everything to him." That Iofiel could tell from the numerous discussions that he has had with the Spectre. But then Darrio had a large family and so he could understand why they were so important to the deceased male. Iofiel didn't have any of that himself. He had been disowned by his own family and so he had no one at all.

"I am certain he wouldn't mind that this is your first time so long as you don't make it your last time." But then he didn't think Daario would be upset in that regard either. The Spectre seemed to understand that his family still had lives and couldn't be with him consistently. It pained him to see the Spectre upset but what could he do?

Iofiel smiled briefly, a rare display of emotion, when the girl named her mother. "Ah Nymeria." He'd heard that name before. She led Vermeda Brook, the family home. But that was about all he knew. He had only had the single interaction with her.
