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!

The rain is slowly peetering out across the lands, though it is still heaviest in the east and lightest in the west. Thankfully, however, the temperature is steadly rising and the sun no longer hides behind the clouds. In celebration of the new season, the vegetation is alive and lush and plants are growing wildly across the valley. Spring is in the air!

@Tiamat x @Caelum

In a rather unholy union, the queen of the Lagoon and her Noble, Caelum, have conceived a litter together. After months of dancing around each other, with Tiamat repeatedly offering the chaotic X'uekai man a taste of power should she win a crown, they have finally come together to create the heirs that Tia has been badly wanting for some time. Banished from her Clan because of a death match that she was pushed into, Tiamat has long had dreams of starting her own family and branch of the Anatu Clan. These cubs are the first step towards such a goal. Caelum was chosen as the father for his strength, particularly after successfully getting revenge for the Queen.

These children will be taught, first and foremost, to fight. Strength is valued more than other qualities in the Anatu Clan. Barbarian or Paladin trades would be most common among them, but other ambitions will not be fully ignored. Tiamat will be doing most of the raising, with only a little input from Caelum, but they will know who their father is. Any males might be more likely to take after their father, perhaps having an Outlaw trade instead of a fighting-centered one.

Since they will be raised as Anatu children, you can find a little bit about the culture here. Tiamat will adhere to the practice of hunting dangerous prey shortly before giving birth, and so it is likely that at least one of the cubs will not survive (most likely cub #2, but this depends on applicants!). She will favor her female children because it is believed that females are the ones who pass on the warrior spirit to their children through pregnancy and birth. It will probably not be unusual for her to refer to her children as "unblooded" until their first real fight.

Oh, and did I mention that there's plenty of opportunity for some mental instability from Caelum's side of things?

Cassius X'uekai




An absolute and total terror of a child. A rule-breaker who seems to have problems with authority. Cassius is wild and uncontrollable; determined to live his life by his own rules - or lack thereof.
Will more than likely be his siblings first bully. Looking to pick every fight he can against them, using his bigger size to his full advantage.
A fat ass who dominates the food cache. Cassius is ready to take out anyone's eye if they get too close to his meal.
Far more comfortable slacking off while others do the heavy lifting.

Cub 4 Sex Swap > Male

Taraji -- Name

APP For cub #2



trades: barb and erudite

personality:

teeth coated in honey

she is outwardly sweet, but her teeth are sharp, and her wit and intelligence - just as sharp as her claws. she is strong willed, but malleable to her mother's teachings- a warrior both in mind and body. it's not that she doesn't have a temper, it's that her temper is tempered with knowledge and wisdom. taraji plays the long game, using her mind as a weapon just as much as she uses her claws and teeth.

just as unpredictable as her mother, she is chaotic in her actions but ultimately good leaning. loyal, but willing to do whatever it takes to defend those that she loves. for taraji, morality is a gray area- and she fully believes that the ends justify the means.

as a youngster, taraji is inquisitive, and attentive to the world around her- just as likely to get herself into a fight, as to annoy someone to death for information. she is curious and insatiable in her quest for knowledge and understanding of the world.

potential alignment: chaotic neutral/ chaotic good

quite willing to do the wrong things for the right reasons, whatever she believes those reasons to be

design: uhhh in progress/ may comm it out depending on what it ends up looking like

Irkalla Anatu
Irkalla - "Babylonian Goddess of the Underworld"
Large - 475lbs || 3’9"
Master Barbarian || Submaster Medic
Chaotic Neutral, leaning towards chaotic evil at times




Personality: Daughter of Tiamat Anatu and Caelum X'uekai, Irkalla is born knowing she’s the embodiment of perfection. Her mother is a powerful queen and a strong warrior - why should she be anything other than perfection? Despite not being the eldest of her litter, Irkalla tries her hardest to be in charge of her littermates. She's a strong girl to reckoned with, and she's obviously the best suited to follow in their mother's pawsteps. Named after the Babylonian Goddess of the Underworld, Irkalla knows she's destined for greatness.

Mama’s little princess, always a picture perfect daughter in public. Never a paw out of line, and never an embarrassment or problem child - when she’s in the public eye at least. In private, she can be a terror. Always harassing her brother and sisters, always wanting to prove that she is better than any of them. Her interest in the healing arts will start to come forward as she grows older, and she’ll seek to figure out everything she possibly can know about healing. Irkalla will always have the fighting nature that’s so prevalent in her family lineage, but she will eventually know how to heal just as well as she can hurt.

From the moment Irkalla is moving around, she's noticeably a terror to her siblings and parents. Always eager to pounce and wrestle, she is not the delicate flower one might think she is due to her public behavior. This not-so-little fire is spicy, full of spite and vinegar - especially in private. She knows that she needs to be the picture perfect princess to the prying eyes of the public, but those rules don't apply in private!



Appearance:
Sex: Female
Build: Large
Coat: Black
Eyes: Blue
Genetic Mutation: None
Markings: 1 genetic | 0 genetic global | 0 bonus
Random Mutation (optional): None
Random Disease (optional): None

Markings: Light under eye dots, Light half cap, Dark eye holes, Light blaze, Light neck stripes, Light ankle stripes, Light dorsal, Solid tail, Light rump splotch, &Light hind leg splotches



An almost picture perfect combination of Tiamat and Caelum, Irkalla will be a large but lean girl when she grows older. She'll end up with the muscular build of her mother (especially because she will train herself to be the perfect fighter), but still remain slender and feminine in order to use her feminine shape to her advantage when she gets older. In her eyes, she's perfection and anyone who tells her otherwise is simply wrong.

While she's still young, Irkalla will find herself covered in mud and sand whenever she wrestles with her littermates. However, if she goes in public her pelt is impeccably groomed to perfection. Obviously she has to make a good impression on those she meets. She is her mother's daughter after all, and needs to make a perfect impression. She always acts very poised and in control of herself to the public eye. But with her family or in private, she will be a whirlwind. Always egging on her siblings, starting trouble and then pretending like she didn’t start the problem.

AKA troublemaker daughter in private, poised princess in public.
