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!

As this ship has been such a long and well-developed journey for us, we both feel protective and excited for this litter. We will be patient in choosing players for the cubs, and so it can be expected players won't be announced until their due date, Jan 28th.

Assistance will be given to cover the cost of any additional globals or markings. Just let us know what's needed and we'll see it done!!!!

this litter is subject to an adoption clause. shan or myself will take back any cub in danger of falling inactive or dying without discussion in their first year of life.

arsinoë peitho-stärke

ar-syn-no-ee
cub two


alt names: danaë, korina, iolanthe, emmeline, josefine, ilse

personality:

believing herself to be blessed, to be special, to be cut from divine cloth, she eternally seeks that which is deserving of one so blessed, and is far too proud to allow anyone else to convince her otherwise.

there is something in life she is destined for, and this she believes fully, though what exactly that is seems to change with the hour. her mind and her heart are fussy, fickle things and hard to please. but then, why should they not be? is she not blessed? is she not deserving?

her heart is needy, greedy, and consumes. it craves to be seen as its own — unique and individual — as much as it wishes to remain entwined with her sisters — the blessed three — where it is safe. which it desires more cannot be known for certain, but within is great emotion, great passion, and great need. true contentment will never be found in her. but how can it? she seeks to be the center of it all — the star. a lack of attention makes her act out, regardless of the consequence, and yet a sweet smile makes up for it in her gifted mind. but never, never an apology.

she will not be forgotten.

mercurial. her mind is an ever changing place, shifting like the sands of time/ full of dreams and lofty goals. what she desires — and she desires much — always feels out of reach, always feels as though it will never truly be hers. her ambitions are a hungry beast, eating and eating and yet, never full. is she happy to be a princess? just one of many. is her blessing enough? it will never be enough. does she seek to be a queen? more. a goddess among mortals? more. a legend of untold glory? more.

everything she learns in turn feeds her aspirations and dreams, shaping them like a piece of art that will never truly be finished. so too is her fate to never be full, never be truly content, never be finished. but how can she ever be when she herself continues to move the goalpost?

she is fickle in that way. inconsistent and arbitrary in what she wants and in what she feels she needs, in who she needs. what she knows is a drive to consume — love, attention, desire — she wants everything and yet nothing at all. the idea that she is unfair, that she only desires others for as long as they serve some purpose is one she never considers. it is borne of something few will ever understand —

she is blessed.

she is perfect.

she is above the laws of the unanointed.

but for all of her hubris and all of her capriciousness, her mind and heart still know deep love and fierce loyalty, even if it is only ever shown to a few. the truth is, she could never turn against her family mother, father, and littermates. the rest are outsiders:

why else would the gods have made three?

alright you got me
HEKATE

THE HIGH PRIESTESS

"... she is more at home on the fringes than in the center... Intrinsically ambivalent and polymorphous, she straddles conventional boundaries and eludes definition."

ClericNursemaid


cub #4 of 4
Names — Hekate (heh-KAH-ti) Peitho Stärke

PersonalityINFJ - CANCER - TRUE NEUTRAL
quiet, thoughtful, calculated, intelligent, obsessive, superstitious, sensitive, loyal, protective, sentimental, dependant, lacks boundaries, exclusive, biased, harsh


A witch of death and rebirth practically removed from the affairs of mortals. Hekate deals in matters of fate and salvation, uncaring for petty politics or shallow pursuits of flesh. She is often quiet as a ghost, preferring to absorb the intentions of others while withholding her own opinions until it proves important. Her mind is much more active than she might lead you to believe, constantly pouring over matters that are real and otherwise in search of understanding.

Hekate is a creature of neutrality, failing to fall neatly within divisive boxes. She does not revere grand kings or rulers, and yet she believes wholly in the laws of truth, justice, and karma. She detests those who prey upon others as wicked tyrants or who spill blood for their petty pursuits, but she sees no soul free from stain on their mortal earth – would not hesitate to kill if her sister demanded it done.

She is a key piece of a triad, unable to feel truly whole without the complementary elements of her sisters. They move as one unit, act as one unit – perform as if they think as one unit, though this cannot easily be proven.

About — Codependent with littermates. Reveres older siblings. Wary and resentful of half-siblings. Respects & fears father. Idolizes mother. Indifferent to pride-mates. Apathetic to outsiders.

Appearance — small build, global stripes, global shading, dark and light sockies from dad, shoulder and leg golden stripies from dad, chin marking, face mask, nose blaze, ear rims, and tail shading

Aither Peitho-Stärke
✦ aither; meaning bright
✦ cub 3, male ♂
✦ alignment: true neutral
✦ trades: master barbarian/sub-master ranger
✦ personality: Arrogant • Brutal • Vindictive • Reserved • Unpredictable • Ambitious • Loyal • Courageous • Daring
Aither will be a perfect mixture of chaos and peace. Peaceful towards his family, welcoming and warm. However, when it comes to outsiders, he simply turns a cold shoulder. Simply not interested in those who do not share blood with him. He will not take disrespect lightly and will demand it due to his status as royalty. And, due to this status, it will also go right to his head. Aither will look up to his father heavily, wanting to become a King just like him. He wants to become strong, well-respected, and a force to be reckoned with.
Arrogant - Extremely arrogant due to his rank as royalty, and being the son of King Alaric. He thinks that because of his lineage, he is practically a God among mortals. Those who are not of his family are similar to the dirt beneath his paws. They aren't worth the trouble or worry, and all that truly matters is his family.
Brutal - Vicious when it comes to not only battle but also any sort of violence in general, such as hunting. When he grows older he wants to become a formidable opponent just like his father, and his older siblings. Blood, pain, broken bones, death, none of that will scare him.
Vindictive - When it comes to his enemies, Aither will feel a strong need to bring them down. If anyone messes with him or his family, he will feel a strong hatred toward them. When it comes to his enemies, all he wishes is to see them suffer and die.
Reserved - When it comes to those who do not share his blood, Aither will not waste his time. He will flat-out ignore strangers and pay no mind to them.
Unpredictable - If one gets him angry enough, or harms his family, Aither will throw himself into a fit of rage. Whenever he gets to that point, he becomes a highly dangerous and vicious individual. To force him into a violent episode would be a death sentence. This is a fatal flaw in his character and may lead him into potential trouble as he grows up.
Ambitious - Wanting to become like his father, the boy will want to become a king himself one day. He will work his hardest to prove himself to the world around him, wishing to make his name known.
Loyal - Fiercely loyal to his father and his mother, and those who share his blood.
Courageous - A mix of fearlessness, as well as wanting to show off and prove himself to others.
Daring - Prone to get into dangerous and even fatal situations, due to him having a high ego and thinking of himself as invincible.
✦ appearance: right click and open image in new tab for a bigger view!

i'm pulling out but i looooove the idea of triplets!
      |   #7

Cub Chosen? Cub #2

markings chosen :
Darker facemask, dark socks on back feet, lighter nose blaze, lighter shoulder stripes, dark ears, white socks on front, lighter eyeshadow, leg stripes, light chin mark; pie balding across body (global)

name meaning: “Someone who tries to excel”



Personality:

Caring – Ambitious – Smooth Talker – Manipulative – Protective – Secretly Sweet – Distrusting - Judgemental

The cub is born without faults. It is in her adulthood that amongst the sweetness and doting of attempting to be the perfect daughter that the mask will be chipped away. Beneath her otherwise quiet and soft appearance, she is vicious, judgemental, and manipulative. She can work her tongue to convince others to never look at her as the offender in a situation and uses it to her advantage. An observer she will notice what others might not, those little details that tend to get missed or glanced over, how else can she calculate weakness? Oh, ambition runs strong in her, but she is secretive in revealing her plans to anyone. Protective of her family and siblings, yet she does not trust them with her secrets entirely. They only know what she allows them to know because in the end, she will be left standing with or without them. This makes her arrogant and vain, but underneath, she is jealous and strives to be the best in everything she does. Failure is not an option, and it was never even a consideration to her. With those close to her heart, she is gentle and open to helping solve their issues. They know that at the end of the day, she has their back, no matter the circumstances.

Appearance:

A small body is covered in a plum pelt with many beautiful markings to highlight her appearance. A bit of piebald from her mother dots across her form, starting the lightning process for the markings. Her face is dipped in a darker face mask highlighted by softer eyeliner and a lighter coloring across her nose. A lighter chin also marks her face to separate the otherwise dark appearance of her. Her ears are dipped in a deep ebony to join her masking. Tail is dipped in a similar shade of the mask, as well as her back legs, which have dark socks running up them. A lighter striping pattern is atop of these socks, giving quite beautiful effect. Her front feet are dipped in an ivory socking pattern like the striping across her shoulders. She is clearly an equal reflection of both parents and a beauty to behold when older. Emiri may be small in size, but she is breathtaking nonetheless.
