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.

Khadija Al-Najma
Khadija fangs at least got something this time. Khadija aimed to hold herself in the the same position she was able to obtain. It was time for her to start using her size to her advantage too. She often times forgets about her size, about the potential in it. But for now, as a novice fighter, there were many things yet to learn.

Etain's fangs were also on their own spot within the fresh of Khadija's shoulder. The pain was a foreign sensation but she was too focused on defending her home that her own adrenaline kept her nerves dormant for now. As Khadija tried to keep her front paws on her enemy's shoulders, she senses motion from Etain who quickly moved in a way to tear at her shoulder, and before she knew it she had dirt and snow going her way, she turns her head to the left trying to miss it but not fast enough as her right eye caught debris and dirt. She snarls in response to the low blow to her eye that now ached and she was unable to open it. Angry she tries to retract from her old position, letting go of her bite and front legs before attempting to throw her left front paw in a vertical way with claws unsheltered towards the girl's face. Aiming for the forehead or south. She was done trying to not go too hard on the intruder. But the dirty play wasn't acceptable for her anymore.

The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
Someone with more training might have been able to show Khadija various moves in such a fight. But Etain wasn't concerned with any of that in the moment of their fight. She had a lot to learn as well, but there were other times for that.

A growl came from her when the other yearling's paw met her face. In her own movement of turning to find another spot to attack, Khadija's claws met the scar on the left side of her face, cutting deep enough to draw blood. Her entire body froze in what felt like a replay of how she'd gotten the scar in the first place. The bronze yearling was shaking, panting, yet her gaze that locked onto the other showed no fear. Something definitely wasn't right with that look. But before her opponent could even wonder what it could be, Etain charged towards her, seeking to fake a slip to the left, only to dash right and attempt to throw herself on top of Khadija, seeking to pin her down by digging her claws into her with a vicious snarl.

Luckily for her, @Faline wasn't offended by her playful gestures of swatting, and didn't seem too off-put by her choice of words to the older cub.

In fact, the other girl had lowered her chest down, angling to Seifrienriosa , and the young girl found a wide smile blossoming on her face. "If you can keep up!" She throws back, her smaller body attempting to mirror Faline's form, chest lowering to the ground while her tailess rump swayed in the air. Another one of her paws attempts to swat out at her, followed by the leaping form of her body as she attempts to tackle into Faline with a playful squeal of cub war.

It was safe to say, the fighting and chaos of the trespasser were all but forgotten within her mind as she played with the other cub.

Reah wasn’t sure what exactly to expect from the yearling, but she couldn’t help but growl in displeasure when she growled at the Queen. @Wolfgang spoke up then and Reah glanced over at him and then nodded. “That’s a good point,” she finally spoke. Her ear twitched, hearing the little ones begin to speak to each other. Thankfully, they seem rather preoccupied with each other instead of the yearling that had waltzed in like an idiot.

@Khadija spoke up then and quickly a fight escalated. Reah couldn’t help but tense her muscles and watch, “Make sure the children are safe, please,” she spoke to Wolfgang, giving him a nod. She unsheathed her claws and noticed how the Lorien lioness had ended up defeated by the trespasser. She wasn’t upset though, but she knew that now was her time to properly deal with this.

“I don’t know who you are, I don’t care for whatever excuse or explanation you have as to why you trespassed,” she said and finally without warning, she walked right up to @Etain, her eyes dark with malice. “The borders are marked daily, if you’re too idiotic to smell them then maybe you need to be taught a proper lesson. Amaryllis is an unforgiving place, and today you will learn that.” she snarled.

Rage washed over Reah’s form and without another thought or care in the world, she raised her paw and attempted to slash her claws across Etain’s face. Perhaps the girl was innocently exploring, but Reah had gone through enough already. With the prior trespassers and the impending war, this was just enough of an excuse for her to release her pent-up anger and stress from it all. Especially when the girl had thought to growl at the Queen.

Faline
I'm gonna wait out past the shadows, and breathe the bitter taste, I'm gonna drink the lonely down, I can feel it all around

It was easy to ignore the fray all about them when her mind was focused on @Seifrienriosa and her playful bantering. Fae's eyes alit with delight at the prospect, her worries suddenly whisked away by the invitation to play from the princesses themselves. And though she'd once been one, too, she was keen to play the part of another life. Long had her hopes of Janni returning for her begun to dwindle, and what fleeting memories of her mother had turned from a desperate longing to a heavy life lesson, and mannerisms that would carry into adulthood. But she was not shy of play, and she was not shy of the danger that unfurled all about them.

If you can keep up! the speckled cub shouted, accompanying the swat of her paw and the sudden surge forward. A girlish screech echoed from her lips as she was suddenly bowled over, the smaller cub successful in launching straight into her wolfish counterpart. Paws flailed outward, attempting to wrap around Seifrienriosa's neck as she tried to cling on desperately and keep herself from falling limp in the fields. However, what few cries erupted from her lips were those of glee, soft giggles accompanying the muffled sounds of battle in the background.

The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
Another might have gloated at a victory or even taunted others present, but the pale bronze yearling did not. Still panting, blood dripping from where the other yearling's attack had reopened the wounds over her left eye, she simply glared at the adults. A faint growl of frustration, not really directed at anyone, sounded from her as she dug her claws into the ground. "Same as any other place," she hissed in response to the snarled words. While she had no intention of attacking and would have gone with them as captive or whatever they would have chosen, the situation was a quite different one. Being so new to the lands she wasn't aware of how bad things were for some prides, but she had no intentions of making anything worse.

Though before she had any chance to even surrender herself in any way, Reah had already made her own move to strike. Not having expected another fight, she didn't move quickly enough and so the Queen's sharp claws ripped more at the already open wounds on her face and adding more. But the yearling didn't fight it this time. Exhausted from the previous fight with little chance to catch her breath, she simply took the hit and thrown to the side. And for just a moment the scene blurred for her, replaced by the memory of a so familiar situation. It didn't last long, but when she lifted her gaze, blurred by blood on one eye, she looked right at @Reah with flattened ears, though she didn't say a word at all. Just gave her a look so void of anything, not a look anyone should have, especially not at a young age.

Her claws rake against the yearling's face. The trespasser simply takes the attack and falls to the ground. She then looks up at Reah with a blank expression, and Reah lets out a low growl. “You are a prisoner to Lorien, you are not allowed to leave the kingdom now until you are granted freedom,” she explained. Her eyes were narrowed with irritation and hatred. Though, it would surely be a long time before the girl would end up earning such a right, to be free. She finally looked around at the group, thankfully the children were occupying themselves. Reah spoke once again. “Do not help her in any way, she can figure out how to help herself eventually,” she said. That’s what Reah had done when she was a yearling. She too had been alone with no help. She had healed herself and fed herself. Now this girl would learn to do the same.

The dark queen turned then, looking over at the group that had formed. She couldn’t help but smirk a bit before she would stalk off. Leaving the girl to fend for herself.

But I'm going to want you till the stars evaporate We're only here for just a moment in the light
She failed and even though she did all she could she failed to keep doing anything important. But with her current skill level, she didn't have many expectations in the first place, but at least she wanted to prove to them she was more than willing to fight for her home despite all the odds against her. She was done here, she was done and she wanted to leave now, to go tend to her own wounds. She was a novice medic but that was enough to keep herself healthy and how to tend to simple wounds like the ones she got from the other girl. She shakes her fur off, as she watched Reah that her turn to fight the intruder, but her going for imprisonment. She watched until the end and leaves when Reah did. It was a bit sad they weren't allowed to at least tend the girl..but who was she to defy her queen's command?
