December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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!

nazonal's leaving had hit her hard. it went hand in hand with benat leaving, again, and asteria's heart was heavy. loss seemed to be the theme of her life, but she was grateful for the family she did have. trying hard not to think of the losses she called for those that remained, those that she loved with every part of her.

they had a decision to make, now that the band had lost it's guardian, and asteria wanted all of them to be involved in making it. there were a few places she could think of that might make a good home, though she admittedly knew little of the kings and queens that ruled them.

nonetheless she sat in the mouth of her den and chuffed for her family, calling them together family meeting style, curling her tail around her paws as she waited for them to come.

the jungle was eerily quiet. the scents he knew so well were fading - and he had no idea why. they had not seen nazonal since his hunt. he felt a little sick. when @Asteria called, there was no choice but to answer - dutiful steps carried him to his mother, where he stood a few meters away, mercurial silver eyes burning. he had an idea as to why they had been called, but did not know asteria's exact intentions.

"we could stay here," he suggested softly, claws digging into the soil as if it could be ripped from under him at any second. he did not want to leave his home.

A part of her knew just based off of the faded scent of Nazonal and @Asteria's sadness that they had left. Of course, it hadn't exactly occured to her that because their Guardian left, it meant that the Band was no more. Dan thought that everyone was just sad about their friend going bye-bye. So as she pounced her way through the Jungle's littered floor, she wound up at @Beetle's side just as he addressed that they could stay here. OH! She felt excitement at her childish assumption that they were talking about where to go (or maybe to meet Naz). We could go to the Wilds! @Della and I found this COOOOL place we can all hang out in. Though, they would certainly have to figure out who got what days to sleep in their little bunker because not everyone was going to fit.

Tumultuous emotions over new siblings caused the youth to run away. Striped legs had carried her through the jungle at wayward pace, ending up lost within the thick foliage. Days had turned into months, until she'd become a yearling, feral against the once joyous tropical forest. Now she returned, an Amazonian queen against the backdrop of the jungle, hidden behind the thickness of verdant tapestry, silver eyes peering out from the thick trees, watching her family.

@Beetle was there, looking far more grown than she remembered seeing him last. Silver gaze took in the fullness of the youth before passing to @Daneri, who she recognized as one of those cubs. Eyes narrowed, ears laying back against white and red locks, through the silky strands against the umbra skull there. They'd come and ruined everything, those cubs. Broken the wonderland she'd lived in, shattered the wonderous world she'd created for herself.

For minutes she waited, observing those who showed. No one else did. Where was the band? Nazonal was no longer there, nor did she see anyone else who used to live within Secondstone. The band must have crumbled whilst she'd been away. Pain entered the youthful chest, spasming against longing for things to be how they were at the beginnings of their youth.

Now everything seemed to fall apart, changing rapidly ever since her mother had brought that man and bore those cubs into the band. It was easier to blame everything on that rather than the logical current of time moving, and thus everyone moving on.

Only briefly had she met her father, all those months ago, and he'd not stayed long, and she blamed @Asteria for that, too. Had her mother not brought that man into the band, had there not been the betrayal to who her mother once called her best friend, then perhaps Wonderland wouldn't have faded, wouldn't have broken. Instead they're here, with her hiding between thick verdant curtains, watching a family that looks a bit broken itself.

della, by now, was used to change. after losing half of her little family (for her older sisters had vanished too, hadn't they?) she felt almost numb to it now. nazonal was gone and she would have to accept that, but momma was here. and danny and beetle. dells would be just fine!

so she bounces up beside daneri, bumping shoulders with her twin and nipping playfully at her ear, before peering up at momma. asteria looked sad again, which briefly dims della's smile, but she slams it back in place in an almost frantically determined way. "it's super cool momma!"

"buuuut --" and now she looks at beetle, who seems awfully worried -- "it's kinda small. i think we should stay here, too!" another determined nod as she shifted towards her big brother, aiming a reassuring touch to his cheek.

it is a small family. broken. torn apart in a way that made her heart ache. nazonal was gone and with her so many others. where was @Hiccup? @Spider? @Dozy? @Aphid?

how many more would she fail?

but @Beetle is there, and she has a warm (if watery) smile for her son. her beautiful, perfect son. for him and his twin sisters, who tumble in with fanciful dreams and the enthusiasm of youth. it is for them that she smiles, blinking away the welling tears and lifting her chin.

it is for them that she finds strength and feels the cautious swell of hope -- all is not yet lost.

when silence takes over again she looks at each of them in turn and then nods. "we will stay." a decision she dares to make for all of them, because this was their home. this place in the jungle where she had loved and lost; this was where they would stay. forever.

but still she waits for them to agree, her gaze lingering especially on beetle, for it would not be an easy path for them to follow. "this is home," she murmurs, and the more she says it the more certain she is that she could never leave here.
