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.

Two years, no bonus

Cirilla had not exactly been... following @Ambrose, but she had been keeping tabs on him since she had given the man some information about who she was, and what her childhood consisted of. She did not want the ivory male to blurt it all out (not that he would), but the woman could not take that chance.

Since her challenge for Caladan, the Sigrún had kept herself tucked away in the Cay in order for her body to heal. She had taken some damage, but the woman was feeling better. Not that she could feel any pain... but alas - here she was, stood on the edge of a crowd that had gathered for a hunt, staring at Ambrose.

With a silent twitch of her ear, the woman awaited some instruction, not ushering a single word.

Wandering the landscape the stone faced lion wasn’t in a rush to get anywhere. As he moved he came to a tree and raked his claws down its trunk sharping them on its bark. He was simply out exploring this new land. Being new to the area he wanted to figure out where the best places where to find herbs for healing. Good places for training and honing his fighting skills as well as decent places to hunt. Speaking of hunting as he came across a water source he took a drink but it wasn’t the water that really interested him. It was the rather large group of lions and lionesses. It would seem he had came across a hunting party. So without a word he slipped into their ranks to help the hunt.

The scent of a potential meal was what brought Lucien to this large group of lions. There was a mix of them here, either rogue or in a pride, unsure if whether or not he knew any that were here. All the dun man was caring for was to find a good meal, even if he had to fight his way into getting even a scrap. The smell was tantalizing, the lion stalking forward in the direction it was coming from. Golden eyes searched around him to see if he could spot the source of the scent, crouching low to the ground and awaiting until their potential prey showed itself so the true hunt can begin.

Just like some others, it was the scent that led her to the watering hole. It had been a couple of days since Artemisia had had a good meal, and hunger was a bitch to ignore. She also couldn't deny the help of many lions to take down potential prey - she just hoped it would be enough. As she got closer the earthen woman would drop into a hunter's crouch, sniffing the air and allowing for her form to ever so slowly continue on the trail of what it was she was scenting. Her paws itched, the adrenaline making her body quiver subtly, needing to lunge forward for the thrill of the chase.

+10 Join another Ranger’s group hunt
+10 Study herd migration habits

4 years, no bonus

Like the others, he is lured by the scent of prey and the promise of a kill. Considering the time of year, the ranger isn’t surprised to see so many others out in search of a meal. Hunting alone is difficult, but with a group…

Arcturus is silent as he approaches, offering his skills with a curt nod to the others and dropping low in readiness for the call. Although used to hunting alone, it would be a nice change to not have to do all the work himself.

"Whatever dies easily," comes the reply from a plum lion, and Leila's lips twitched in a smile. "Preferrably, yes." she agreed, energy clear in her poise. Hunting always brought out the high spirits in the tigress.

More approach, requesting to assist and Leila nods despite hardly being the organiser. The watering hole seemed to draw many out of the woodwork and they soon have nearly a pride's worth of interested parties. The scents of many prides flooded the tigress's sense - it was difficult to make heads or tails of, in truth. At least at challenges people tended to split up a little.

When they get moving it hardly matters; the quarry was an elephant, it's drink intercepted by hungry jaws and bold ambitions. Leila was wary, wondering how on earth they were going to bring such a monster down.

It didn't end quickly, but at last the beast lay dying. This hadn't been like the wildebeest of her last hunt - there was plenty to feed many hungry mouths for many many weeks here. Leila sat aside to muddy her scent in the dust further whilst the hungry descended. Once she was certain her scent was thoroughly muddied with the cacophany of scents present, she stepped forward to join in. Leila made sure to take a large, fair share. With the big hunk of elephant meat in her jaws, the tigress excused herself with a nod and headed back in the direction of the bluffs.

every lover's got
a little dagger in their hand

her scent, though covered, is still enough to lure him forward. the crowing of his birds is enough to give him away, gaze shifting to @Draven as he approaches. knowing he is here is not quite enough to prepare her, and the fur along her spine bristles ( and shivers ) as he leans close, teeth pressing against plush fur. a noise rumbles from her throat, low and deep, as she side-steps him — hoping to place much-needed buffer space between them. mismatched gaze lingers upon him, ignoring the feeling of his hot breath washing over her, ignoring the way her skin shivers at hearing his rumbling voice so close.

and if she hunts with a renewed vigor, well.

then it has nothing to do with his blessing.

( it has nothing to do with him. )

the beast before them is just that — a beast. behemoth, massive. yet she does not hesitate. there is no room for error here and fortunately, they manage just fine. not even an elephant is enough to stop them, and that knowledge delights her. it is not pretty but it doesn’t have to be; death often isn’t. for once she eats her fill, blood and meat filling her stomach with quiet delight. as she eats, the little wolf keeps her gaze away from draven and instead on the surroundings, noting what plants grow this close to the watering hole.

once she is finished she rises, disengaging from the crowded dinner table. her scent, hidden beneath the smell of blood and others, is a mess even to her own nose. she is pleased with it though ( as she is pleased with her stomach, full and warm ), knowing that she no longer smells like him. with one, last, pointed glare to the bjorn bastard, faolán leaves — trailing her way back through the fields, leaving bloodied pawsteps in her wake.

As more and more gathered he wondered if there was too many here for a smooth hunt. Ears perked and eyes scanned the area sweeping over everyone and everything. Spotting some herbs in the bush he was in he looked at it. Studied it’s features for a few moments also tempted to just collect some of the herbs and forget about this hunt. That was until he saw the prey that they were hunting. Elephant. A fine chose of prey that should be enough for all to get a sizable share. Sharping his claws some more by running them across a rock he was near he lept forward with the start of the hunt. Helping the best he could down the beast. It was a hard fight but in the end they had won. As everyone dug in he too did the same. Eating a few mouthfuls before taking a good chuck, his share of it in the meaty rump area with him to go.

The creature they encounter was monstrous in proportion, the lumbering creature raging against the predators for all it was worth. Lunaire supposed that in the end, it meant it was worth nothing- for it fell to them all anyways.

The rose hued lioness gorged herself happily on the warm meat, feeling the blood soak her chest and face. She waits, until the others have dutifully opened the cavity in the beast's chest, before tearing the massive heart from it's chest and quickly making her way away from the hunt scene, taking her prize back to the mire for a project she has in mind, the gaze constantly scanning the surrounding world as bloodstained pawprints were left in her wake.
