December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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
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.

+1 hunt rolls    -1 to prey dodge
Shades deepened, the air grew chillier, and the hours shifted their duration—signs that the seasons once more were turning a page and ushering forth another slip in the pace. The Andal Sovereign stretched her pacing to beyond the desert—a returned habit—and towards the unexplored corners of Amaryllis. The steps were decisive, and swift, a churning of hunger and need. Need for exploration, for the crispness of the air beyond her arid home. To feel the sweeping of chilled air rushing against her cheeks and lips, to give chase where there lay no sand underfoot. A scent flooded her senses and with it came a rise of adrenaline. Their tracks lay loose beneath her step, leaving the foliage tousled and bent by steps that were not her own. Searching her peripherals for shape and sound of any other waylaying hunters, she steadied herself on the trail laid before her. A hunt, that was precisely what she needed: a hunt.

Ten years, no perks

He enjoyed spending time in the glade, but the more he did so the more he discovered that others did the same... but for hunting. It wasn't the first time he'd seen a hunter on the prowl from another pride, but it was one of the first times that he'd recognized them. That more than anything else caused him to rise and approach, moving to join her. He wasn't as useful in a hunt as a younger model would be, but surely he could find some way to be of assistance. He had been recently, after all. Besides, he had no doubt that there would be other hunters to come along as well.

seven years, ranger lvl 2

He wasn't following the sovereign initially, but when he saw that she was on the trail of prey he did turn to join her, picking up on the trail as well. It wasn't long until he caught up with her, but there was another, older male there as well by the time he joined her. Seraphiel had to privately wonder how much use he would be with his lean frame and likely blind eye, but he wasn't going to attempt to dissuade him from lending his assistance. For all he knew the man was a masterful hunter. Besides, if nothing else another body could always be useful.

4yo, Lvl 4 Pathfinder - +1 Dice to Hunts

The familiar scent of an oasis woman is accompanied by the aroma of two males wandering across the breeze of The Glade. It was an idyllic location to hunt, close tow ater, close to the cover of forest. She had known the vicinity to be popular for herds, large and small, and the frequency of their travel meant they had worn tracks through the plentiful grasses.

In the midst of the rolling fields, a large and pointed hill towered above the rest, marred by the hoofprints of animals who sought a better view. She notes the location of this hill as being somewhat central. Before approaching the distant figures, Charax masked her appearance and scent within a semi-dried wallowing hole, bathing herself in mud.

The long journey throughout the lands of Amaryllis was more daunting a task than he had originally realized. Some territories were much less hospitable than others, the vast stretch of desert to name the first that came to mind. The more green and forested areas were his favored places, and today he would have a look at the Glade. Already he had come upon some areas of brambled roots that could serve as temporary den sites should the occasion arise. Being a rogue meant he was free to sleep in any location, and many dens had been procured in the months since his arrival. He would return to make himself another, as eyes befell tracks of mixed variety. Hard hooved creatures and the softer pads of lions, perhaps looking to hunt them.

Never one to turn down a good meal and a bit of practice, the Plum male would follow after them, making a point to brush up along various plants of a more fragrant variety. He did not wish to give himself away to his dinner, nor to have the others take in his subtle underlying scent and be distracted by the bittersweet smell.

Finding the others, he would silently fall in line behind the presumed leader of the hunt. He would take a moment to look at his companions, all of whom proved to be strangers. It would seem he was both the smallest and youngest in the group, though Aidoneus was only slightly taller than himself.

With her flesh and scent sealed by mud, it's sticky substance oozing from her nape and shoulders, Charax moved onwards. She knew of the Andal Oasis lioness, and is quick to realize there is more than one here who might have been considered an 'enemy' under other circumstances. Regardless, assuming they did not know her, she would arrive cautiously casual - prepared to work for her meal today.

It is not a trophy beast, but the group is not so large. The team manage to fell a single Gazelle, and Charax waits her turn to swoop in and detach a humble portion of meat from the animals neck. She seeks the landmark of the pointed hill, knowing she would pass it on her way back towards Wolfbron.

The hunt would prove a success, resulting in a decent sized meal for the small group that had partaken. One of the darkly hued lionesses would take her share of the meal, secured for her travel elsewhere.

Recluse was in less of a hurry to depart the group, choosing to settle down with a decent sized portion and eat it then and there. He would use this opportunity to watch the others, take note of anything of significants that passed between them. Some of them were of the same pride if their scent was anything to go by. In time perhaps he would join a pride himself, even if it proved to only be for a limited time before he himself tried for one of his own.

They found themselves successful once again, despite the smaller group than he'd usually seen. As per usual, he wasn't going to try to fight with anyone over the catch and so there was no reason for him to linger. Still, he didn't want to trek all the way back to the Hollow just yet, even though he didn't want to hang out around here after the hunt, which would just draw scavengers both leonine and otherwise.

So, he turned away and headed out of the glade but not out of the grove entirely, finding a nice shady patch to settle into for the time being until he felt like returning to the pride.

They succeeded, but he wasn't surprised by that. There were plenty of them here for what they were chasing, and he had grown quite skilled at hunting since coming to these lands. It seemed those he was with weren't bad at it themselves, and they were able to bring down the gazelle rather easily.

It wasn't of a good size for sharing, but he didn't feel interested in going back to the Oasis empty handed, especially not with the sovereign along with them. So, he took one of the gazelle's legs, but not for himself. No, he turned to go back to the Oasis with it to put it in one of the caches. He didn't quite need the meal, but surely someone within the pride could use it.
