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
PRIDE HUNT
— THE PREY —


Rolled Prey: Medium — Wildebeest
Number of Prey Animals: 2
Prompt: Wind howls through the Summit, and with it comes snow. Lots, and lots of snow. A pair of wildebeest twins are desperate for some shelter, and come into the heights of the Summit in search of relief.
Results Will Be Rolled On: 8th December 2022

Only marked pride lions count. Please include your character's age and any trade bonuses at the top of their post. Failure to provide this info will result in your character not counting towards the hunt roll.

wildebeests have been a common food source for her when she was a rogue. now that there are two of them means she will have to be methodical about her hunt. since they're in pride territory, it means fernweh will have extra help. the last hunt was a success, so she prays that this one will succeed too. the food stock has been replenishing bit by bit, as fernweh hasn't been going out for a solo hunt quite as often. she is eager to finish this one, so she has settles herself between two snow-covered outcrops, allowing the backdrop to blend with her. the creatures are just a few feet away, fattened and healthy. she coils her muscles, licking her lip, and watches, waiting for the time to strike. 2 years; pride tier 2

"Speech." To say he was sour about his current living conditions was an understatement. The boy had yet to adjust to the cold life of the summit, spending most of his days and nights cooped up in the warmth and safety of the den Morrigan had given him. Today was one of the rare days that the wind was not howling as bad and snow wasn’t a constant downpour on the mountain.

The maroon boy chose today to go and explore for a bit, but even so, his maroon fur was quickly saturated by snow, making him look frosted instead of dappled. Bright green gaze would roam over his surroundings as he trudged through the snow. It wouldn’t take him long before he would stumble across two hooved beasts and he would stop, hunkering low with ears flicking forward and back. What the fuck were those?

Azanty would slink to the rocky outcropping where he could hide but still observe. They smelled like food, but he’d let someone else hunt these mighty creatures. He didn’t want to get stomped on. Stomach would growl at the idea of warm meat in his belly. He eas tired of frozen meals. The boy would shiver as he watched, slitted pupils focused on the wildebeest while his toes kneaded the cold stone beneath his paws- trying to stay warm.

A pair of Wilderbest had gotten lost within the lands of the Summit, unfortunate for them but not so bad for the lions. With winter on it's full strength, any and all food chances were essential. And only fools ignored opportunities when they came. And as such, the white lioness was quick on her paws to hunt them down, a chance she couldn't let pass for any reason. Someone was already there, she had seen her around but lacked a name for them. Blue eyes fell over @Fernweh's lowered body, for then doing so herself. Using her white coat on her advantage, so she could blend well with the snow around. Waiting also for the time of the chase and hopefully bringing down both ungulate beasts.

Zahra was also interested in helping the pride thrive during not only the winter but all seasons. The lions that called these peaks their home had quickly become her family. A big one, bigger than any she have had. Of course her parents and siblings were her most loved ones, but now the whole Summit had joined them as family to her. The red lioness came quickly to the scene, where the two Wildebeest roamed without knowing where they had landed into.

Ears pinned as she took coverage near some rocks, she was read and easy to spot among the white snow, as such she used other ways to hide. And these rocks might work just well for that. It was time to shine.

Those of the mountain pride converged on the wildebeest together, spreading out and taking tactical points for advantage. Multi-hued body awash in lavender and peaches maneuvered to hide the bright pastels from view of the beasts. Umbra tendrils danced like wicked shadows against the canvas, but rock and scrub gave hopefully enough cover to prevent the prey from being alerted of nearby predators. Long strands of hair flowed around the ink dipped face, exposing the two different colored eyes. Winter remained vicious up here, though he'd grown accustomed to the cold. Now laying low close to the ice slicked rocks he waited for the signal to rush their intended feast.

Two prey beasts were a delight to see. Unfortunate for them to have stumbled into pride lands where there were plenty of teeth and claws to bring them down. The giant found a suitable place to lie in and wait for the others to engage the wildebeest. He would serve them better as muscle to pull the prey into the snow as opposed to chasing it. He made sure the others could spot his position but remain hidden from the prey's view. These creatures must be cold to be here, which could aid in slowing them down if they were already freezing.

- - - - six years, no trade bonus, pride tier two
Travelling carefully through the now-melting snow, she could hear the fast rustling of beasts scouring the summits heights. Wandering the blistering chill of the mountainside likely in seek of shelter (or maybe food) but it would seem that the lions of Illyra would be seeking the latter among them. Coming close she would seek to stand beside @Eyvindr with a gracious smile, friendly and charming perhaps, and pulling her gaze to the wildebeest before them. They could do it given the sheer number of individuals that had come, based on scent alone. Illyria, she imagined, would never be short of numbers so long as Greyflood and/or Valour ruled.

There was too much snow for this summoning chuff to be anything but gravely important. Always one to follow the rules and please the leaders, the grey lion struggled out of their makeshift den and spent a hasty moment trying and failing to shake icicles from their tail tuft. At least their breath kept their whiskers clear. Toes spread but still unsteady, the thin lion approached the others. They were all intent on something. Parvati didn't know what, but they smelled dung rich with warm straw and chewed grass. The hint of large prey. Warm large prey. Parvati came to a halt in an unoccupied location, still standing and looking around with that sort of awkward confusion one had when being 80% sure they were in the right place.

seven years, no trade bonus, pride tier two Now this gathering was far more of an appearance than the last one had been, but since winter had released its chokehold on the mountain, she wasn't really surprised at the larger turnout. Morrigan was among the last to arrive it would seem but that suited her fine when she saw what their prey would be. The two wildebeest had chosen the wrong summit to seek shelter on and Morrigan relished the thought of the takedown. Bigger prey was really the only time she enjoyed the hunt, as it was truthfully the only time she was useful. Taking up a flaking position as waiting for her moment, Morrigan lingered near as she could to her wife without being in the way.
