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 sun was beginnin' to dip down for the night, shades of reds, yellows and oranges meshin' with one another to create a darkened sky that was bein' followed by the darkness of night. A light snowfall had begun while Lucien had been explorin' the grove, leavin' a thin blanket of white below his paws. The chill of it would cause for an involuntary shiver to grip his body every now and again, and he knew of one thing that would help keep him warm: a hunt. He would allow for his nose to now guide him, followin' a well worn path that intertwined with others throughout the grove, and while he went about his way on searchin' by smell of somethin' to eat he would let out a call to those that may have been lurkin' around, a call to see if they would like to join him. Once the call had been released, golden eyes would shift around to observe his surroundin's, slippin' downward to look at the ground and to see if he could spot any prey tracks upon the fresh fallen snow.

Again and again their paths crossed. Nephthys was finding him rather fine company, especially now that she recognized him from the summit meeting. He'd been the Lorien sovereign when he'd needed to teach that bratty yearling a lesson, she recalled, though the fight itself hadn't been her main focus. She recalled watching it from the corner of her eye, yes, but mostly she was fixated on making sure Alaric and Ronin didn't kill each other. Besides, a full grown man against a child with a big mouth? It was embarrassing for the girl, but evidently someone needed to discipline her. Just a shame it was in public because Nephthys would never have recovered from the embarrassment of it all if she had been on the receiving end. Oh well.

Snow. Small fluffy crystals of frozen water fell from the sky, not that the Yu was aware they were crystals but she did find them pretty. If not for the fact she felt like her toes were gonna freeze off in this cold weather. She'd rather be spending her time curled up in a sheltered spot trying to stay warm. But her belly rumbled and so here she was stalking through the snow her breath white in the cold afternoon air.

Though it was the call of another lion, a familiar yet unrecognized tone that drew her towards the hunting party. Familiar frames, from an earlier hunt, came into view against the stark white world and the Yu grinned from ear to ear as she approached them. "Something big, I could eat a boulder" the Yu spoke in an amused but very serious tone, in the best joking way possible, her words mostly focused at the maroon-colored lioness. She was indeed hungry and why not challenge the bigger beasts? In all honesty, if they didn't catch something big enough for them all to share. She might just eat rocks to fill her belly... if only to stop the clawing feeling in her gut.

The lioness moved with quiet grace, keeping her body low to the ground and her movements smooth and calculated. Her keen senses were on high alert as she moved through the thick snow-covered grove, scanning the area for any signs of other life. There was a scent of prey that hung heavy in the air as it urged her onward. Her stomach was taunted by the thought of a good meal. However, the cold of her nose had caused it to be slightly harder to pick apart the smells and decipher which it was that she followed.

As she crested a small rise in the landscape, her heart skipped a beat - there, in the distance, she saw movement. Lions. With renewed purpose, the lioness began to move faster, her thoughts turning to the potential new allies she could find among her fellow predators. But she also knew she had to be cautious - all of the unknown could prove dangerous. For now, she remained silent as she approached the small hunting trio that had already formed.

Not that she felt that she had to, Ember went about smothering her Hollow's scent with anything else that she could find. A few leaves coming from the fields and some flowers from the meadow and to top it off she rubbed her sides and backside with one of the older trees within the Grove that she could find. Mutilating whatever scent she had that might trace her back to her new pride. She didn't think they had many enemies, if any, but being a rogue for so long she felt almost inclined to try and keep others guessing.

At least in the Grove, it was a nice distraction from the darkness of what she now called home. The air was crisp and the light was brilliant, even though it was chilly down to her core it still felt nice. Even though there were a few felled logs sitting around, only a fair few of them were beginning to rot and even then it simply added to the beauty of the territory. Not only that, but it would prove challenging obstacles for this hunt that these other lions were hovering around for. To which she supposed she could offer her strength should it be necessary.

6 yr., lvl 2 ranger: +1 dice to hunt rolls

She moved silently amongst the snow covered ground, making her way toward a makeshift den she had happened upon not too long ago. Exhaustion was beginning to slowly seep in, making her movements slow and casual. As Artemisia leaped over a fallen tree, the sounds of a familiar voice was calling out yet again for any that were around to join him for a hunt. 'Well wasn't he the busy body. The lioness made her way toward where it had come from, slipping past brush and picking up her pace a bit to help warm up and loosen her muscles.

Maroon eyes land upon the several that were already gathered, familiar from a last hunt the man had called not too long ago. "Evening all," her voice would purr out in a friendly greeting, bobbed tail flicking a few times as she settled into a crouch.

The cold is not as much of a nuisance as it could be for the dappled beast traipsing his way through the unsuspecting ferns that have no hope of blocking the beast's path. His fur is thick enough to render the winter's chill to little more than a mild inconvenience - or so he'd thought at first. The snow scattered across the earth is slowly dampening his massive paws with every heavy step he takes, and the icy sensation is quick to sneak in through his wet fur and creep up his limbs.

Irritating, in a word.

But he's intrigued enough by his explorations here to resist the urge to turn back, at least for now. Despite the pale brightness of the snow he traverses through, there is no lack of greenery to be found in this forest. Not in the abundance of pine needles that still adorned these trees, their sharp scent clouding the air, nor in the delicate ferns that tickle his skin as he brushes past. Such strong, persistent plants. Mircea appreciates their endurance.

He's paused to rake his claws down the rough bark of one of the pines, finding satisfaction in the wooden resistance chipping away at broken nail when the call for a hunt reaches his ears.

How very tempting.

The hunt will warm him right back up, he's certain. His toes splay wide atop the snow as he tries lighten his steps, joining the group with a low rumble in half-hearted greeting, inclining his head slightly towards @Ember as he approached her side, recognizing the scent of the caves upon her pelt. He settles into a crouch to wait, calm and still, a patient predator.

Only the tension flexing in his muscles reveals the eagerness he feels for the spill of crimson that awaits.

three years, L3 Beatnik -1 to dodge roll for prey
The Grove was a bit of a push out of her normal range of travel but she had attempted to be following the scent of something out this way. Apparently there were others that had caught its scent too and with a sigh and a flustering of her lips, she moved towards them in an effort to share this hunt and this prey with others. At the very least, she will have done something and pressed her front paws into the snow-covered grass and waited as patiently as one of her caliber could until someone blew the metaphorical horn to proceed. Only then would she use what usefulness she had to help these strangers hunt.

With who knows what kind of true luck, the gathering of lions does well enough to secure the elephant calf. A small but still mighty creature that had little protection thanks to the parents that left it behind. Maybe the child had gone an excursion unbeknownst to mother but either way, it hadn't been very smart. At least it no longer had to worry about being lost or having a shit parent; that much Zelda could be happy about. Snagging a little snack for her troubles before letting the others work out who got what. That was a deliberation that she didn't feel inclined to participate in. As dramatic as that might be. exit zelda
