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.

The Hot Springs was a new place for the pink Ranger to try and hunt at and she was hopeful for something good to come along. Several arrived to assist in the hunt and she was thankful. Keeping an eye out on a potential target, there was one not too far off from the group. It was a giraffe calf that had wandered off, bleating for its mother and herd. Perfect. Signaling the other hunts to move into position, she then gave the signal to move forward. The attack was quick and the animal fell to its demise. It would feed everyone in the group and still have plenty left over to take something back with them. Taking in her fill, she carved out a decent chunk and took it back home to the Brook with her.

the giraffe calf is just a mini version of the creatures she’s killed before — here, it’s almost laughably easy. how strange to think she is here, hunting all these new creatures to the point that they have become commonplace. she has half a mind to take a small piece of the skin for later, to stockpile for gauze, but the litle wolf does not bother. she also does not bother to eat any of the meal offered — let the others enjoy. she remains alert, attentive, her gaze settled heavily upon her sister even if she does not approach. even if they’ve seen her already, she seeks to melt back into the shadows — stealthily taking her exit. dutifully following after her sister, of course, leaving ample distance between her and ulva so that the other maiden doesn’t realize she’s being followed.

There are many of them, and so when it is a single giraffe calf that appears as they begin the hunt it is no real difficulty to take down the beast. There are too many lions and it is too easy to overpower the young creature. She flies across the snow, racing ahead of it and cutting off any escape, running as if she had never been injured, though there is an ache there that she has to ignore to keep up the speed.

She is aware of Fao, though uncertain what to do with her sister. Things are not quite right with them and it worries her, but matters of the heart are not her strong suit. She is a warrior, better with tooth and claw than emotions. Draven, too, she is too aware of, and she doesn't slink away until she is certain that the other strangers are safe. Only then does she fly away from the scene, unaware of her sister following in her wake.

Hexa couldn’t help but continue to study the new and mysterious territory before her. It seemed that a few other lions would join in, and she kept her stealthy position. Finally it seemed that someone had noticed a line giraffe calf not too far off. Hexa couldn’t help but lick her lips in hunger, and finally the hunt had started. It did not take very long for the lions to pile onto the poor calf and end its life. Hexa made sure to take a particularly juicy piece of meat. She ran off with it, not wanting to stay around for too long.

Such an odd place for a poor giraffe calf to be wondering about. Artemisia wondered how it had gotten so far away from its mother; was she dead? Did she abandon it? The lioness was almost feeling sorry for the creature - almost. Hunger and animal instinct is what pushes those emotions to the back, and as the rest started to move so would she. With the amount of lions that were present, they all would make quick work with bringing the calf down. After all was said and done the hunt would come to an end and Artemisia would happily take her piece of the prize. Being able to relax in a warm pool of water while filling her belly did sound like the perfect way to end a perfect hunt.

exit Artemisia.

Bowen did not prefer to take down a creature so young, preferring instead to give the species space to continue to thrive and grow. But when in Rome... Many paws make light work, and the group took down the calf successfully. For all of his apprehension at the beginning of the hunt, once he sunk his teeth into the young, tender meat of the giraffe, his previous concerns were quickly forgotten. Who'd have thought that giraffe calf would taste so good? He'd eat his fill, grateful that there was plenty to go around, and then skulk off... maybe to go take a bath.

Oh, dear. It was a baby! Clodovea fretfully scanned the area for any signs of its mother while she nibbled away on her lower lip. When it became apparent that the poor thing was either abandoned or terribly lost, and that those around her had begun to make their move toward it, the young teen also made her move—mentally—to make sense of what was about to happen. Well, perhaps it was merciful in a way to make this quick for the lone baby, rather than allow it to wander until it died of hunger or thirst? It was enough to propel her legs into motion, chasing and herding the dear half-heartedly until it was taken down. But it was at that moment that she made her exit, finding that she didn't much have an appetite anymore.

The long-necked creature would make its way through the fog, Ruger's eyes following it with a hungry gaze. Although he felt a little bit sorry that they were going after such a young life instead of, say, it's mother, he knew that such was the way of life and survival of the fittest didn't let up. So as they moved in he would help keep the giraffe calf close toward the party, jaws snapping at it whenever it tried to find an escape route. Soon enough, their prey would be taken down and Ruger would take a moment before digging in. Ears twist forward as he listened, and after a couple of minutes he would decide to dig into its neck, filling up before he slunk away to clean himself of the blood and take a nap.

look in to my eyes
it's where my demons hide
The girl does not respond; he snarls in displeasure. There is a sudden desire to show her why it is not smart to spite a Bjorn, but then their prey arrives.

If anything he is all the more interested to see that it is a youngling. The flesh will be tender and new, and Draven forgets all about the lioness. Instead he focuses on the gangly creature, trusting they would have no trouble bringing it down. "Look what you have given us, Bjorn. Give them the speed to ensure we can feast; we need you, now." Closing his eyes briefly before launching in to action.

Draven works hard to ensure their victory. Moving fast on his paws for his size, trapping the crying babe so that the kill can be easily made. When they are done he is breathing heavily, lips stained with blood, but grinning wide. He will quickly wrench away his prize before ensuring the strangers leave, and then disappearing back towards home.
