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!

we all feed on tragedy,
it's like blood to a vampire
Every night, he falls into the habit of not being able to rest, or fall asleep. Tossing and turning in his make-shift den, until the wolves and owls all whistle their warnings. It seems to keep him awake, well into the hours of the night. Awake enough, to get up and prowl beneath the moonlight. It's well past midnight when Harou pulls away from his almost-slumber. It's dark and deep and religiously blue, when nightfall descends his wintry flesh. He shakes out his mane, allowing the dust to settle all around him, before Harou leaps into the night. He heard something - and it must be real. It's not his dreams, that keep him awake, this time. No, this time, he scouts up ahead, eager to find the source of his distraction.

With the sun taking a breather every now and then from working so hard in its summer months, sunbathing and taking naps didn't seem to happen all that often. A poor and unfortunate thing, mind you, for Zelda was nothing without those moments of recharge. With that she supposed that wandering after a piece of prey was a nice change and she supposed she could at least do one more. One of the individuals that she kept seeing roaming around and killing everything he stumbled across was present. To which she tried to give @Harou a subtle nod of her head in acknowledgement before she looked to the prey. Offering him a gesture that she was here to help.

With the days growing colder, Kian sets a relentless pace across the firm shoreline. Deep-set tracks where he has stepped stretch out behind him in a long line, petering out beyond the sandy horizon line. Now day is ebbing away, and the sweat matting his bronze fur brings a biting chill to his skin. Somewhere in the dusk, there is a stir of sound. Renewed alertness comes into his keen eyes as he diverts his course. Among the charcoal boulders, shadowy figures are pulling free from the blackness, and he unflaggingly strikes off toward them, adjusting his tread accordingly in case of a prospective hunt.

The pale mantle of @Harou has become an increasingly familiar sight on nights such as these. Hubert has come to learn that wherever the beast shows up, the scent of blood is sure to follow.

It's pretty convenient, actually. Sticking to what shadows he can find away from the moonlight, the young Prince steps his way dexterously around the rocks and pools of this place, briefly tilting his skull to consider the silver sheen atop the water. It seems a clear reflection now, but Hubert remembers the sight of the various treasures that lay beneath the surface. Just as he remembered the one who had first shown them to him, though she too had proven to be as intangible as starlight, disappearing with nary a trace. Females are such fickle things, he thinks.

But that's neither here nor there, not tonight. He falls into step alongside the ghostly man with a slight incline of his head in acknowledgement, his gaze flicking briefly towards the Andal woman and the orange yearling both before narrowing his focus down to whatever unfortunate prey had thought it'd be safe to wander about in the dark this time.

Once again passing through the tidepools and heeding her sovereign's warnings of moonseed and its poisonous tendencies, she still could not deny that it was an intriguing concept of a plant. It was a vine-like plant that looked so beautiful in its place with brilliant milky purple flowers that were almost so pretty to not touch or keep. It's beauty lured you right in so that you might find safety in its perfection when its fruits and its seeds could cause you nausea, vomiting and might even be fatal if you take the wrong dosage for how much you weighed or how weak your immune system already was. Perhaps that was why the scents of the other lions around was a nice distraction, otherwise she was certain it might just draw her in. Moving away from its unruly and entrancing web of vines, preparing herself to assist in another hunt.

Beggars can't be choosers, and neither is he.

Hunger coupled with curiosity lured Dumah onward through the night. The chill breath of winter is easily felt beneath the moon's uncaring gaze. Rough sand parted beneath tired limbs, lost to the rhythmic tread of the wanderer. The loner's life was dogged by uncertainty, but it also provided a willingness to look past law and structure. Without the security of a pride to provide for, hunting had become a frequent necessity. No longer does he care for where the food comes, he staked his life on the gathering of strangers and scavengers alike.

Dumah's paws slip into disturbed earth, and an investigatory sniff confirmed his suspicion. Following the trail of larger prints brought him to the coastline and the scent of lions. Dumah's pale gaze narrowed as he tried to ascertain the others, but they are nothing more than suggestions and shadows in the gloom.

Alexander felt obligated now to start bringing back food to the pride. Even if the others were not constantly hunting, it was one thing he did enjoy doing, despite his size. There was something about the thrill of taking down a beast - about being the reason the life left it's eyes. The beast was always, always grateful for any sacrifices these creatures offered and he would never disrespect their life or the gift they gave with it. Still, there was a guilty pleasure in it. Jaws part as he slides into the scene, coming up near the others but remaining silent - pale blue eyes scanning the horizon for any prospective prey. Were the others seeing something in the dark that he wasn't? Regardless, his body was on edge, ready to launch forward at any moment.

Moonlight glints off the tide pools and the ocean beyond, and it makes something tense creep up his spine. It makes him uncomfortable, strangely enough; all that sea-salt in his veins and yet the ocean 2as never a welcomed sight. He's been wandering about, having ng woken up form a late afternoon nap -- night had fallen while he snoozed, and now he was.. here. He should hewd back to the summit but he doesn't; all his chores and responsibilities could be pushed back until tomorrow.... or the day after... or the day after that. You know. Whenever he felt like. A big yawn stretches his muzzle as he falls into line, eager to help in this hunt tonighy; a good way to spend the night 2as always working towards a midnight snack.

4 years, -1 to dodge roll for prey

It's melancholic the way the moon sits brightly in the tidepools on the beach, only disturbed by the gusting coastal breeze. It was quiet here, save for a few gathered at the end of the beach. There was much on Poltergeist's mind, and that was why he lingered so close to Caladan Cove, despite leaving a few months prior.

His lion scent cloaked with lemongrass - the kind he rolled in early for a failed attempt at another hunt - so he was confident whatever the pretty and striped male stalked ahead wasn't smelling him even if he was upwind. Poltergeist ducked behind a couple of rocks closer to the cliffside as he waited for the signal to begin, to stalk, to follow, to catch.

Poltergeist is host to a virus called the Black Fever, which is commonly passed through a bite. The virus attacks the nervous system causing an array of various symptoms (see profile for list!) The severity of the symptoms depends on the victim's immune system as well as the severity of their bite wound(s). Players can choose the severity of the symptoms or whether their character is infected at all! It's there for a little fun >:)

Hosts will have a subtle scent of sweet citrus and floral notes, akin to oleander, that instinctively warns others of a potential health threat.

Sometimes when she couldn't sleep, she took to the beach - parts away from Caladan Cove so no one could question why she was wandering around. With wet fur from the sea and half of a care as to why anyone in their right mind would take a swim in the sea at this hour and at this temperature, Valaine found herself by the Tidepools, dodging the small (but deep) puddles in the sand. The coastal breeze tickled her damp fur, but the chill in the air bothered her very little. She had been soaking her scars, hoping that the saltwater would help make them fade a bit more.

She would have continued down the beach, wandering for the sake of her boredom had she not come across a group gathering under the moonlight. Masked with the strong scent of the sea, Valaine flicked her eyes to the group and its apparent leader, and then she dove behind some conveniently placed beach rocks, awaiting the start of such a hunt. She wasn't particularly hungry, but she wouldn't mind helping for the sake of entertainment.
