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!

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.

Gentle kisses from a few springtime sprinkles touch his hide in the young hours of the morning. The sun had yet to fully start to rise over the distance herizon but that didn’t stop him from searching his surroundings. Two mismatched eyes gazed out at a surreal scene as if it was part of some romantic comedy. Green grass with a bunch of pretty flowers. The scents of the flora flooded his nose but were partly drowned out by the rain. He had came here following some prey. Finding it he got lower and ready for a hunt. Who knows maybe more random locals will join him like last time.

Orson knew these field lands. They had been his main haunt and hunting grounds for quite a while now and he was familiar with the habits and movements of the prey animals that grazed here. He’d become adept at hunting here and recent circumstances and forced many a solo hunt. It added a level of difficultly but lent to a welcome increase in skill. However, it was common knowledge that hunting in a group gave a distinct advantage, increasing the odds of success and decreasing the likelihood of injury when taking on large prey. But finding a suitable hunting party was easier said than done when one was a rogue. Once Orson had lived in a pretty sweet pride. They were elephant hunters, successfully taking down a handful of the giant delicious beasts in his time with them. Orson had even participated in a few of those hunts and he would never forget.

There was no chance he could ever hope to take an elephant on his own though. Not now and maybe not ever. He was even hesitant to take on some of the larger ungulates without aid. He just couldn’t afford to take a gash from a stray horn, or a harsh kick in the wrong place.

So when Orson spotted a stranger posturing to stalk the herds, he rose from his hidden spot, where he’d been lounging in the shadows of thick brush within a small copse of trees. He moved carefully towards the other lion, casting him a careful look to assess his receptiveness to Orson joining in on this hunt. A short nod, followed by a glance in the direction he intended to go would signal Orson’s intent before he would move to slide off into the grass to take his position in the hunting formation.

this place is sickening sweet and it makes her nose itch. yet still, faustine prowls through, picking her way from one shadow to the next. her too-big paws stomp on the flowers and the insects skittering across, but her intention isn't to destroy this place. she wants food and she wants it now. the last time she ate, she only had a fat hare, but that was a few hours ago. now, she's hungry and her stomach's insistently growling at her for more. the girl slides low, already prepping herself to pounce, as she ventures across this floral-scented land. there are already at least one lion present, but their presence only serves to make faustine irate. she'll have to share the catch if something gets hunted, wouldn't she? eight months, no bonus

As time drawled on, the Scillan Queen found it harder and harder to find these small moments to escape. She'd slipped free of the Lagoon knowing it very well might be the last for a long time to come, fear driving her and her pridemates into locking her away, keeping her fettered at the bedside in hopes of surviving all that ailed her. But in these last glimpses of freedom, Tinúviel felt weightless; her prancing through the garden accompanied by the sudden call to hunt, the drive to fulfil that instinct. Thus, Tinúviel turns, and begins to make her way toward the group in preparation for what was to come next.

His family had been quiet, laying low while they figured the place out, he supposed, but that wasn’t his style. He was bored and constantly on the search for something to do, so when he found a small hunting party beginning to form, he was quick to head over. A few of the faces looked familiar from the other hunt, but he wasn’t here to socialize. At least, not until their prey had been taken down first. The last thing he wanted to do was scare their target off. He settled in, content to follow the lead of whoever was in charge of this particular hunt once it began.

The seasoned leopard could take some comfort in the shadows of dawn. He moved from the grove to those plains, riding on the hypothesis that the lions used these as their main hunting grounds. It would be a shame to miss out on such a free ride. Lorant loped along with senses peeled as he took in the features of the territory, noting how the tall grasses broke out into a lush garden of all things. He might think it romantic if he cared for such frivolities.

Once he picked up the scents of a small band of lions the leopard veered in their direction, keeping his tail low so as to try and sweep away his imprinted tracks in the flowers. He knew better at his age than to leave an easy trail to track him by. Flashing a devil's smile at any who dared to look his way, he settled in to begin stalking their prey.

Even the cloying perfume of summer blossoms couldn't mask the scent of prey. From the edge of the garden Spark had caught the smell, and followed it like a map to the big, red X where a group of hunters were already waiting, crouched in the flowers.
As Spark quietly approached the party to join them, he noticed a small, spotted feline in the ranks. Not a lion, clearly, but Spark had never seen anything like them before. Tentatively, he moved next to the little creature, curious to see how they would hunt with all of these lions. He wanted to say hello, introduce himself and find a polite way of asking so what are you, exactly? but Spark didn't want to make any noise that would alert the prey of their presence.
He waited for the signal to start, and decided he would bother the fellow feline after the hunt.

He busied his paws. No time to learn like the present, right? Matayo stalked forward with bloodshot eyes and a heavy heart after the scent of prey, the aroma steadily becoming muddled with that of flowers and lions alike. He glanced around at the flickering movements of other felines stalking through the gardens, taking up that tell-tale lion hunting formation in preparation for what was to come. Only one lurked in the shadows, likely waiting for a more strategic position than merely chasing after their target in a sprint – a leopard. His heart rose up in his throat.

Anya - mom.

But it was no such cat. It would never be, again, Matayo reminded himself. He gritted his teeth and forced his eyes away from the spotted feline, fixing them stubbornly ahead on the prize he would earn. Admittedly, the boy had never hunted with a group of lions before. He would need to get used to it.

The intoxicating perfume of this place is simply too much. Having it brushed onto her dark fur may indeed allow Viveka some measure of anonymity from her prey and other hunters alike, but it's hard to properly appreciate it when she has to spend so much effort on trying not to sneeze. She presses a paw delicately to her nose, taking in a deep breath beneath the cover as if it might soothe her rising irritation (it doesn't), before sliding in to claim her place at the edge of this latest hunting party she'd stumbled upon.

Perhaps raking her claws down something's hide would prove to be a better relaxant.

The dappled beast could swear that there were more and more flowers here each time he passed through. His interest in the flora is one of a practical nature, but this morning, as he jogs briskly through the fields to ward off the slight chill of the sprinkling rain, his eyes can't help but catch upon the brighter blooms. Lilies, rosemary, lavender...a more skilled paw might be able to draw out their uses properly, but for now, Mircea can only find their sight pleasing and their scents soothing.

But he is not alone in the garden today. The tangled scents of other felines draw the Savante up short, and he prowls forward with a bit more care once the signs of a hunt become clear to him.

So many beasts. What did they hope to fell here today? Mircea can only hope for something truly big.
