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.

It had been quite some time since Ruger had met the rather unusual @Marja. At first she seemed more like a crazy woman and less of another of his species that he wanted to really be around. But by the end of their brief encounter did he seem to have grown a bit of a soft spot for her, seeing her rather abrasive and blunt way of speaking like a breath of fresh air. And so that was why he made his way to the swamp, albeit regrettably due to the fact he was not a huge fan of habitats such as swamps. But it was where she said she had made her home, and he hoped that she would still be around despite how long it had taken him to come and find her. Well that and the guilty feeling of having told her a wrong name to keep himself safe, only to realize she didn't mean any harm.

Slow and cautious steps would be taken, upper lip curling back slightly in a silent snarl as he felt the squish of mud in between his toes. Nose would point in the air, sniffing it to see if he could catch scent of Marja, and when he were having no luck would he release several loud chuffs for her, crimson eyes scanning around to watch for any movement.

Since the collapse of the world around her and her subsequent turn to the Rainforest pride, she had been trying very hard to find her place in the world again. So, Marja had decided on a new hobby for the day. Tree climbing- which was probably the stupidest hobby she could have tried as she had the balance of a three-legged spider. Marja had been precariously balancing in a limb above, when she had grown sleepy, and she had decided that she had somewhat balanced enough to nap in the tree- and so she rested her head on her paw and allowed herself to drift....

In her dream, Marja was weightless and floating, and able to twist and turn as if there was no sort of care in the wor-

THUD

A low groan leaves her as she opens her eyes, rolling onto her back, only to see a familiar face just a few feet away- and she stares at him with wide eyes. "Win-ston?" She pronounces happily? Okay, yeah, she's dreaming still -right?

Ruger was continuing on his cautious path when the sudden loud thud made him stop in his tracks and whip around to see what and where it had come from. Crimson eyes flickered all around him, trying to find out what it was, until he heard her voice. "@Marja?" He would call out in confusion, trying to see where she was at. It wouldn't take him long, though, as he moved in the direction he assumed her voice had come from, seeing her on the ground. Brows would furrow as he would first look at her and then up toward the canopy before looking back down at her. "Are you alright?" Did she fall from one of those limbs way up there? Concern showed on his face as she watched her, hoping that she was alright because he had zero skills in the medicine department.

Slightly winded, it takes a few moments for her breaths to come back to normal and when they do- he's asked if she is alright and she works on righting herself- pushing herself into a half sitting position and giving herself a shake. "Marja not meant to climb tree." She grumbles, before offering him a toothy smile. "Winston in swamp!" She acknowledges. "How been?"

With a back paw, she gives herself a good scratch, as she studies him, and then another shake as she still struggles to right herself- glaring over her shoulder at the offending tree. "Swamp trees are slippery and not forgiving if you fall asleep." She gripes. Yeah, it was definitely the trees fault. Not anything she had done or anything. The tree should have held on to her while she slept- not kicked her out- how rude!

A grin would appear faintly on his lips at @Marja's reply; Ruger himself knew that he had quite the difficult time climbing up and down trees so he could only imagine how it would be whenever they were slick with algae, moss or any sort of other slippery source. The name Winston caused for his grin to pull into a thin line, shuffling his paws underneath him and trying to figure out how to tell the lioness before him that he had given her a fake name. "Yeah, I thought I would give you a visit," he would begin, trying to stall the inevitable for as long as he could.

"How've you been?" A question to help him pluck out the right words to tell her that he lied, whiskers twitching and his eyes observing her before glancing down at the ground, only to lift them back up to glance at her face.

Her paws were slick with algae, as she flexed them into the swampy earth beneath her. "This not my normal swamp part. Tree climb new talent I learn." She says simply, "Not good yet." She says, glaring up at the tree. Shaking herself again, unrealizing that she could be flinging algae and mud. "Marja lived in Hollows. Hollows collapse cause earth shakes" She demonstrates, rattling around on her toes.

"Marja back to jungle. Rainforest now new pride- close to swamp but other lions when lonely." She nods affirmatively.

"How Winston do? No see since last snow." She declares, narrowing her eyes to study him with a sniff.

He'd try to duck away from the debris that flung off of her but was unsuccessful. Some mud would land on him and would cause for Ruger to shake his own pelt to try to rid of it from himself now. Black shaded ears would twist to listen to @Marja as she explained what all had happened since their first encounter. "Sounds very eventful," he'd respond with an exhale of breath. To lose your home from what sounded like a cave in must have been frightening; Ruger couldn't even begin to imagine what terror being buried alive would bring.

"Do you like the pride in the rainforest?" He were trying to remember if he knew the name of the pride there or not, and coming up blank he would continue. "What's it called?" He'd allow ample time for her to reply to him before finally deciding to come clean. "Hey Majra..." Ruger's voice would trail off, feeling his eyes fall to look at the ground nervously. "My name... isn't Winston." Ears would fall back as crimson gaze stayed staring at his paws, feeling very uncomfortable.

'Sounds very eventful,' Winston replies and she shrugs. "Life have event- keep going going." She replies. "Earthshake very angry but all okay now." She says simply. Then he asks about the rainforest, and she tilts her head slightly. "Nice pride. Close to swamp." She says. "Maia nice. Took care of Marja when head hurt." She adds, with a nod. So Rainforest pride was good for now.

"Fir-nen" She pauses. "Fir-nen. Rainforest Pr-ide." she spells the name out slowly, stumbling over the name, and the common words for a moment. Then she nods. Yep, that was the name of it- she beams happily, her smile remaining wide as he speaks her name- though she notes that he looks... nervous. She tilts her head as he goes on, and says his name isn't Winston.

"What name then?" She asks contentedly, not bothered at all by the thought that he says his name isn't Winston. "You look like Winston." She says simply.

The names Maia and Firnen Rainforest were given, and Ruger had to assume that the lioness she had named was the ruler of the pride there. "Well I'm glad you're better," he would comment with a nod of his head. And then the reaction to what he considered a bombshell was... a but underwhelming if he had to say. @Marja seemed to take his confession in stride, asking him what his real name was if it wasn't Winston - even when she commented that he looked like a Winston. "It's Ruger." Tail would flick to the side as he spoke, his gaze watching her curiously. "I'm not sure why I told you another name. I think it was because I was new here and still wasn't too sure of the lions that lived here." Because that was the only logical reason to him of why he did so in the first place.

Marja's tail curls behind her at his comment of being glad that she was better. Marja nods. "Better. Head no hurt, jungle okay, have me swamp. Better." She confirms. Even if she did kind of miss the Hollows, and Fae and Roan she liked Roan- and their hunts. She'd hunted a creature called a donkey with him once. But, alas, why dwell to the past?

She studies Winston... @Ruger , with a curious grin. "Ru-ger." She pronounces slowly. "Me like Win-ston, more." She says simply, but shrugs. "Ru-ger fine too." She says, unworried that his name was not Winston, and she shrugs. "You new here too?" She asks curiously, just assuming everyone she met had been here far longer than she had- and knew more about everything here than she did.
