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!

Fall
Though the air is still warm and the sun is bright, the summer is beginning to wane and, with it, the humidity has started to die down. It is a welcomed relief for the inhabitants of the jungle, as more moderate weather will mean that the rainforest will not feel quite as stifling, as well as those from the desert, who's early autumn will see calm winds and mild nights. For the rest of the peninsula, the change in seasons will be gradual, hinting towards the colder months that are soon to come.

The Gates Of Hope
      |   #1

Slender pointed ears twitched atop her head, surveying the land before her with earnest interest. It was @Alabaster who'd brought her here, showed her the way to the lagoon. Their talks on the way to the seaside beach were of various topics of importance, catching up on lost time between them. Now she stood upon the borders, peering into a place she hoped to call home. Here there would be family extending beyond her dear brother, for she'd heard of his cubs, of his love and those among the lagoon that were of importance to him.

Part of her envied the life her brother created in Amaryllis. Much of those smaller joys in life had been lost for her. Perhaps coming to the area where her brother thrived would bring the gift of social positives such as those Alabaster enjoyed.

Stark blue eyes looked across the ocean side haven, finding it beautiful beyond words. "This place you've built a life for yourself in is quite beautiful." Noted in a soft tone she turned to smile at the pale warden. Now if only she were to meet @Alizabeth and the others of the pride. Finding a niche would fill the empty place of purpose she currently carried.

Colsun was nothing if not curious. He had a tendency to stick to the familiar parts of the territory and keep to himself, but whenever Alabaster came around, the boy was more enthusiastic about heading to the borders. It still puzzled him how he had two fathers, but the pointed ears of Alabaster were similar to his own and he appreciated an adult having them. It didn't make him feel quite so goofy looking to see an adult with the same sort of unusualness.

When he arrived to greet the man, there was a woman with him. Colsun said nothing, only tilted his head as he tried to figure out the connection. She did have pointed ears..

The pair had talked practically the entire trip from the Home Cave to the Lagoon. Alabaster wanted to know every detail of where his sister had been. Having never left Amaryllis a day in his life he was curious of the lands and laws and Gods outside of their country.
Alabaster himself had his own stories to tell. Though most of them revolved around @Alizabeth and all her exploits. The Warden had debriefed his sister on just how strong armed his wife was. As well as prepping her for the language she might hear once in the Lagoon. It was easy for anyone to assume Aliza was aggressive when really she was just being polite.. in her own way..

Even though his family lived in Scilla, he did not bring his sister over the border. He was not a member here and thus felt he had no rights to bring strangers into his family's home.

Alabaster let out a gentle call for Alizabeth, @Ransom , @Nero , @Lyle , @Orson . It seemed he didn't need to call for one of the children as @Colsun rounded a bend and approached. The father's chest swelled with pride as he gestured for the boy to come closer. Colsun, this is @Sienna . She's my sister; your aunt. Sienna, this is Colsun. My son. The dark cub was one that Alabaster was unsure if he was really his or if he was Ransom's. His had the Nesryn ears but he was quickly growing far larger than one would expect a six month old to be.

"I think you mean our son." Grumbled the giant as he calmly approached the trio, trademark brooding expression firmly in its rightful place. The ghoul lifted a mammoth paw and attempted to run it affectionately (but accidentally roughly) down @Colsun's head and back.
Cerulean stare roved first across @Alabaster, a well-used warning shot within his stern-faced look, though the meaning held nothing in it. Ransom often liked to pretend he was far more serious than he was. Leftover from the days when Alabaster was his mortal enemy, not fellow husband and father.
Head cocking, his critical gaze swept across the newcomer. She had the long ears of the warden sure enough. He'd caught Alabaster's introduction as he'd arrived so did not need to hear her name again.
"@Sienna, welcome. I'm Ransom." His low voice rumbled with a flicker of a smile. Some might say charming even, if such words were ever spoken of about Ransom. His clipped tail twitched a little, nefarious thoughts at play. He wants to laugh and slide Alabaster a mischievous look, but he does not, keeping his gaze firmly upon the new member of their family.

Before @Alabaster could answer there came a cub with elongated ears like they had, though very large for the youthful features. A glance towards her brother told her that this was one of the cubs shared with the third mate. Quite an interesting pairing, amusing that there seemed to be a propensity towards monochromatic breeding. {Well hello.} Tone remained level, though she had the urge to pinch the cheeks of the little devil just as any aunt would upon first meeting a nephew. {What a nice name you have, @Colsun.} Gaze shifted to her brother who seemed undisturbed by both the likeness and un-likeness of the cub to himself. Such tenderness, to love so wholly to share so much. While the thought surrounds the idea of the multiple pairing that Alabaster found himself in there was the pull of attention toward a shadowed figure that approached them.

Not Obsidian, certainly, for they had long departed as her brother had informed. This must have been the other party within the union, as affirmed through the possession of Colsun through @Ransom's words. Between the two men seemed to hold positive ties between them, despite sharing one woman. Wary eyes flit between the two men for a few seconds, gauging the relationship while she noted the charcoal man's affinity towards solemnity. {Thank you Ransom, it's a pleasure to meet you.} Elongated ears twitched slightly atop the nutmeg crown; surely, this was not all of the family her brother had told her of? Gaze swept across dunes beyond the forms, noting that no other forms seemed to rise over the slender line of what must be the ocean. There would be time to meet them all she hoped.
