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 is in full swing now, with clear skies, warm nights, and ample sunshine! As such, the deserts begin to grow dry, the shores remain a blissful escape, the north is spared with cooling winds, and humidity continues to rise in the jungle. Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.

VIVEKA
4 years, Lvl 2 Ranger (+1 to Hunt Rolls)

This place is filthy.

Viveka's lips twist with disgust as mud and peat squelched between her toes, pale mittens stained dark and damp and gross, no matter how prim or high her prowling steps appeared to be. But prowl she does nevertheless, her richly hued pelt wrapped in the cool shawl of the evening twilight and the creeping shadows. Wrinkled nares flare beneath the moonlight to better grasp at the earthy musk of prey that drifted in the air, her paws following in the trail of something warm and alive hiding in the depths of the twisted foliage, existing in the narrow paths between treacherous waters.

This ugly place does not suit her. But it will suit her prey quite well, she imagines. Cloying mud and tangled thorns to trip up spindly hooved legs, a labyrinth of nightmares to shatter a weak mind, and deep, murky pools to silence its dying cries beneath the stars.

It's too late to satiate her hunger elsewhere, now that she's already been so thoroughly stained by the filth of this place. And she would only forgive the mess once the bright splash of blood had been added to it through the efforts of her own claws.

The scent of prey leads Arkyn to the darkness of the bog. He wasn't one that veered away from getting his paws dirty, and in this sort of environment it was hard to keep oneself prim and proper. Heavy paws trudge through the thick mud, webbed toes curling as the coolness seeped in between them. Yelloe eyes examined his surroundings, taking in the gnarled roots and vines that made this place more of a maze than a place to come to for simple relaxation; it was a good enough place to trip up prey and make for an easy meal.

The beast finds his way toward the woman, but not before lathering himself with pawfuls of mud. He rubbed them on either side of his flank as far as he could reach before rubbing it along his chest, his facem and down his front limbs. With the stench of the bog, Arkyn knew he wouldn't be easily scented out by suspecting prey, but one could never be too certain - and a good way to better conceal his identity. So now he waits, giving a rough nod to thew woman, muscles tensing while he sees who all will join and what will be on the menu today.

the bog is less than desirable. much like the prey that roam here, imogen is tangled in vines and swathed in dirt. it splatters her mossy gray pelt and dries in thick, uncomfortable clumps. she is more swamp monster than lioness as she slinks through the swamp, careful of where her paws land and head held high to prevent the plants she's gathered from being soiled in the muck. as dark and gloomy as this place is, the shrubs and foliage that grow here are more useful than not, and imogen yearns to keep them.

though, around the earthiness of the herbs, she can scent something that is more alive than her plants. prey, food, and with a glance around her, she notices the dark furred woman slinking through this maze of mud, dirt, and spindly trees. "hunt?" imogen asks around her mouthful of greenery, finding a sole dry nook within an old weathered bush to place them. her tail curls, hooking upward as she lingers nearby, awaiting her answer that would hopefully result in a full belly.

She has not been here in years... not since a rogue adventure or two in her adolescence. It was definitely low ranking on her list of places to visit, given the nature of the muck's smell clinging to your fur and the atrocity of not being able to find well-hidden crocodiles. If it could be avoided, she would. Alas, heavily pregnant Aelynthi is very hungry and all reason has gone out the window in hopes of finding a good meal to sit down and enjoy. Along her trek, she notes the shape of the fronds that linger at the base of the trees, and which sides of the trees grew moss for later storage purposes. She would definitely be back given how frequent she had found it just in her trek alone. The scent of familiar lionesses fills her nostrils as she moves along, a welcome invitation compared to the stench of the bog. With a quick jog, it is easy to close the distance and Aelynthi lets out a soft chuff, coming up close to @Viveka and @Imogen to finally introduce herself. As she should, given this would potentially be the third hunt they had all engaged in together. " I'm Aelynthi, of the Hollows. Care to hunt again? "

This here bog was murky and bracken. The water smelled like it wouldn't taste like it smelled, even though it smelled terrible. It was a bitter edge of terribleness that suggested the taste would be a wholly new and terrible phenomenon. She had been careful when slathering herself in mud to keep it away from her face. Her paler cheeks were subtle, especially in the dim and the laden mist, so those could stay. It was her hindquarters that she dabbed up, turning the dark markings a dripping brown rather than a distinctive black. However, she did leave her tail untouched. One had to sacrifice for beauty.

She squelched her toes in a good piece of mud recently vacated by a frog. And now she smelled like frog slime. She was a giant frog, working with other animate chunks of muck to do innocent things, definitely nothing suspicious no predators here. "I smell like a frog," she chirped proudly, a tad bit louder than a whisper because this was important. The designated frog then settled into a crouch and wiggled her butt, wondering how big she could hop.

So content she is to mooch off the backs of others when it came to the delicacies of red meat. She, a young woman of hefty proportions already, can not surely be expected to be useful in much more than a take-down. Speed was her mothers likeness but it skipped a beat with Birdie, instead lacing her bones with curves more akin to her father.

Amusingly, the yearling is met with the sight of a froggy-wannabe, and upon a bemused approach would seek to slide up alongside @Arkyn - a big buy - "I'm willing to bet she's as useless as one, too." Hushed and low, gesturing to Toblerone where she crouched. Meanwhile, her claws raked against a rotten log, sharpening.

The need to stretch her legs had gotten her far from Obsidian and deep into the bog. Artemisia wasn't a fan of getting too dirty, and the way the mud was caking itself to the backs of her legs and her underbelly was enough for her to let out a soft snarl. The thought of how long it was going to take her to clean up was already exhausting her. But there was a scent, one of prey, that had caught her attention whenever she was close enough to the swampy land. It is how she finds herself amongst several other lions, crimson eyes taking a good look at them all, even scenting one out that was also from the same pride as she. She moves toward her (@Aelynthi) as she introduces herself, giving the woman a friendly smiles. "I'm from Obsidian, as well," she says, mostly to the black and white lioness. "I'm Artemisia." Then she falls silent, positioning herself into a hunter's crouch and waits.

It was absolutely gross here. The stench of the bog and all it's rotten water nearly had his eyes tearing up. He wasn't one hundred percent sure why he was here exactly. Maybe it was the eeriness of the place that had drawn him in. Who knew what was lurking in this dreary patch of worthless land.

Cassius walked along some of the muddy banks, mapping out one source ended and another began. He wondered if any of this was even drinkable. Well he would keep on wondering because he wasn't about to test it out for himself.

The Darkling paused as he picked up the scent of a group though the stink of the bog. He wasn't about to test the water but he was happy to test just how quickly he could catch up with the unknown group. He took off through the mud and muck, muscles working overtime to combat against the sinking grime all around him. Upon his barreling approach, Cassius leapt up onto a nearby log; taking full advantage of the higher positioning.

Looked like he stumbled on a hunting party. Hm. Well he had no experience in this sort of thing. So silently he sat back to observe.

this terrain she knew well. it was exactly the type of place that faustine found home within, from the swamp waters to the stench. she found it easier to hide away the smell of her natural odor and that of her pride, thus she often covered herself in the bog's mud and debris. if there was a place to swim in then she would have submerged in the water by now. alas, the bog's water was too low for her to swim. on the plus side, she wouldn't be wasting away her time partaking in that when there was another more interesting event to do. a well executed hunt. yes, she had been hungering for creatures to take down. the last hunt happened a couple hours ago but the itch was still there, like gnarled claws that scratched in the back of her head. but, thanks to the bog she was in, faustine had no problem becoming one with it as she lowered herself onto her belly from between two trees seeped in cattails.

Slowly, she is coming to recognise some familiar faces amongst these recent autumn hunts. Perhaps everyone had stocking for the winter on the mind. She thinks the cove will do well when the weather turned, but she also wasn’t sure how fishing would go when the water got too cold to swim.

Tilly takes a place amongst the gathered, her paws and belly already muddied from some unexpectedly deep puddles. There is some chatter and she tilts her ears to zone in. "I'm Tilly." she offers, hushed, "From Caladan." There didn't seem to be any others from her pride here, and she wanted to ask more questions... but it didn't seem the right moment. Content to wallflower, she looks on.
