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.

Level 2 Ranger: +1 dice to hunt rolls
Level 3 Ranger: -1 dodge roll for prey

Lucien had holed himself up for a while after his failed attempt at takin' back the Plains. He wanted his body to heal thoroughly, even if that meant he went near mad starin' at the same walls within his den. Once he was fit as a fiddle again he was movin' right on out and back to venturin' Amaryllis. He allowed for his paws to carry him without much thought, golden eyes observin' his immediate surroundin's to keep himself aware enough to notice if anyone or anythin' tried to rush him. And as he pushed through the many thick vines that made up the thicket, the all too familiar scent of prey began to tickle his nose, causin' for him to now move in that direction and let out a call to any others nearby that wished to help take down a meal.

She didn't often wander this far to the north, keeping more to the southern portions of Amaryllis. But there were endless areas in which to search for her sister, or so it seemed, and when she had the spare time she allowed herself to venture into areas more unknown.

The last thing she was expecting was a call for a hunt, and by someone she actually recognized no less. The former sovereign of the Plains, ousted along with Violarum when the plum idiot and his cackling hens had taken the throne by force. She had been there when this man had tried to take back the Plains and lost, and she couldn't help but wonder if - and hope that - there might be another attempt in the future.

She joined him in the undergrowth of the thicket, the scent of prey thick in the air, and crouched down. As she did so, her claws found a piece of wood and she quietly dug into it, sharpening her weapons in preparation for the hunt.

Has she ever wandered into a place this dense? She doesn't think that even the verdant greens and plentiful flowers of the jungle had been as out-of-control as this thicket, where the thick ferns and the tangled vines nearly choked out even the sunlight above. It's beginning to make Maven feel a bit claustrophobic.

But right when the abyssal girl thinks she might take her leave, a call for a hunt bids her to stay, drawing her even deeper in through curiosity and her sheer inability to leave a call for aid unanswered. She pushes her way through the undergrowth as carefully as she can manage, landing a dubious gaze upon the two golden strangers she's stumbled upon. Was hunting even feasible in this maze?

"Maybe..." Pessimistic though that thought is, it does drum up something of an idea, and Maven shifts around quietly, reaching up to try to drag down some vines and pull their lengths taut in the low space between the trees. "Maybe, we can trip the prey, if we chase them through here?" She suggests with a tilt of her head, looking again towards @Lucien and @Tiamat for a sign of approval or disapproval.

It's the call for a hunt that draws Viveka away from her wanderings and into the damned maze of greenery, the young Rike spurred on by the thrill of violence and lured in by the promise of tasting warm meat upon her tongue. She presses through the thick undergrowth with only the minimal amount of care necessary to ensure that she would neither tear her dark coat upon the thorns nor scare off the prey that surely must be lurking somewhere the thicket's depths.

She approaches the others with a low huff, regarding them out of the corner of her eye with a narrowed gaze. She doesn't bother hiding the way her lips curl in a patronizing sneer at the dark-furred yearling who suggests crafting a trap for a quarry, her chin tilting upwards too high in the air to be anything other than haughty. Foolish girl.

A skilled huntress knew how to get by using only their claws and teeth. What could taking shortcuts possibly prove?

she hides within the foliage of the thicket, ignoring the way burrs and thorns cling to her underside. the greenery of the grove seemed to flourish in the summer breeze and imogen is distracted by herbs and flower petals as she approaches. almost submissively, her head bows between her thin shoulders as she approaches the strangers. imogen is cautious, though wide eyes fall over each and every feline present, her ears twisting in regard as she listens to them speak. as foreign as they are to her, instinct tells her that they are all hungry and starvation begs her to shed her shell of anxiety, if only to find something to fill the deep void in her belly.

The nomad had left the coast, wandering through Amaryllis like a ghost with no bounds. She found herself within the Grove now, particularly the Thicket, and she had been scouting it for a good bit. It wasn't long until she noticed the scent of prey in the air. Not only that but the scent of a few lions too, all of them were strangers of course but she didn't want to act too shy.

Besides, she was kind of hungry.

She would remain silent though as she approached the group. Most of the individuals were women but one was a brute that was of a dun color.

The male slips and slides his way easily through the tangle of trees, roots, and undergrowth. It is clear in his movements that such entanglements were not foreign to him. But then the male had tempted many different biomes during his existence. Besides, being sure footed always made these treks easier.

Occam caught the scent of many lions and somewhere among them there was also the pungent smell of prey as well. The half maned lion ended up joining the group in silence. He listened to the offering of ideas but mostly waited to see who would be the one to get this started.

Well, getting food certainly was an idea. It was what had drawn the small sorrel roan female away from her usual perch in the fields and deep into the thicket. When she heard the call, she found herself intrigued. Even more so when it proved to be not quite a pride that had gathered, but a rather mixed group.

Pointed ears quivered slightly. There were scents she could tell were prides, but some were not. A small nod was given in greeting as she was slinking through the tangle to come up near @Lucien, looking up at him briefly, giving a small chuff before her gaze wandered, waiting.

4 years, +1 dice to hunt rolls

Amethyst Grove was still and humid that day, with a haze that lingered nearest its moister parts - like the Bog. However, she tried to steer clear of that area, and instead went towards the Thicket, where the growth was thick and heavy. Leaves and branches combed her fluffy fur as she moved through them, squeezing through some areas so tight that she probably left some fur behind. Valaine wasn't concerned with that, though. She just wanted to get lost in the bramble and find a good napping spot.

But that went quickly out the window when she heard the chuffs of a nearby lion. Pausing in her tracks, she looked over towards the sound and considered ignoring it completely and going back to what she was doing... but then again, she shouldn't pass up the opportunity to obtain an easy meal.

Flicking her tail, she slipped through the trees and its brush, trying her best not to rustle anything and choosing her steps wisely as she joined the small group of lions. She hadn't noticed her sister among them right away, even as she settled among them. She caught the tail-end of something @Maven said, and looked toward the two that she seemed to ask for validation.

"Or vee coul't just kill it vis our claws an' teez," (teeth) she added, rolling her eyes at the young lioness. Get crafty when we're not on top of a cliff, dumb girl.

He was merely passing through when he heard the chuff for more 'help' for a nearby hunting party. This made Poltergeist stop in his tracks, simply because he was always around for an easy meal. And it simply wouldn't settle right with him if he passed this opportunity up. So, pivoting himself, he made a beeline straight for the call, squeezing through the tight foliage and bramble, and trying to not make noise as he did so.

Passing by a strong-smelling and leafy plant, he rubbed against it a bit to pick up its earthy scent, to hopefully cover his own citrus-like scent from standing out too much among the group. He'd hate to spook the prey.

Coming upon them, he crouched down among the brush and yawned, waiting for the signal to begin. For the mean time, he lifted his nose to the air and began trying to decipher what kind of creature they were tracking.

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.
