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
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.

rohan had determined that he definitely did NOT like it here.

he had followed a lion from ecrosia, trailing some distance back, far enough that he hoped that he would go unnoticed. rohan had no idea who @Lucien was but he had a feeling he probably wouldn't appreciate being followed.

so anytime the male looked back he tried to hide, ducking behind a tree or a rock or whatever he could. until they hit the snow, and then he gave up any pretenses and picked up his speed. it was different running through the snow and ice; he slipped from time to time, extending his claws and feeling them dig in to the earth to give him some more traction. this served a double purpose of keeping them nice and sharp, as the ice gave just enough resistance to act much like the trees and rocks he usually used. he doesn't stop until he reaches the hunting parting, and then flops himself down at the edge of the group to watch.

another call, and beetle's claws itched. dark limbs carried him through the frostbound wastes, mane whipping violently around his dainty features in the biting chill, the promise of food more tenable here, though barely. if not for the hunt, beetle would have gladly stayed closer to sea-level. which... was saying something. beetle hated the sea.

determined, he steeled himself against the ice, approaching the gathered party, stormy gaze cast over them until he turned toward the lioness who had brought them to her, and intended to follow her lead.

It were far too early. Kvare's jaws parted in a wide, sheepish yawn. The surge of prey had attracted all sorts of Amaryllisians to the calls to hunt, and it had begun to wear a toll on those who tried to snuff out every one. Caladan's caches had never been so full, and a celebration would likely be necessary after they'd filled it more than it could hold; but even Kvare couldn't deny it might be overkill. Regardless, his especially tired form still trotted toward the location of the hunt, pleased to see mostly familiar faces among the growing crowd. However, with his mind foggy, he was far more intent on keeping himself safe and well-guarded, and thus quickly melded into the outskirts, allowing his limbs to relax and less tense, prepared to defend himself against any stray and excited prey animals.

A big yawn marked her arrival, despite the way it burned her lungs. It had been so early she'd left her small herb pouch back in the Mire (and what a shame it was, considering she'd spent all night fashioning it from hide). Nevertheless, she'd picked up a few newer plants along the way, and ventured northward toward the call. Each time she plunged out into a distant territory, the more she began to expand her knowledge; but her tired little body could hardly keep up, and by the time she'd begun to lay out her collection and prepare them for the aftermath of the hunt, she was already breathless.

Radahn had been up all night. Tiredness was evident in his gaze, his gait. And yet, he still trudged toward the hunt. Long had he begun to grow accustomed to his new sight (or lack thereof), but the resounding blind spot continued to be incessant, and annoying. Perhaps the hunt would give him some semblance of relief. Thus, he'd found himself an unlikely participant among the crowd, repeating familiar prayers under his breath to bring good hunting. So far, the Gods had looked kindly upon him; he'd spilled his blood and others for them countless times, even if his body had not quite the skill for it.

With plenty of lions suddenly gathered around within the confines of the coldest fucking place, it was obvious that they were here for food. Daneri couldn't begin to understand why they were all here and she especially didn't recall having played the same role and come all the way north. How had she gotten here? Daneri pouted, her brows furrowed as she slunk quietly through the snow that just covered her large paws. She might be extra fluffy but the cold always seemed to bother her... either that or she truly just was not used to it. Given that she had only ever experienced one winter and it had been fairly mild given that they were living on the coast and in a jungle.

The cold of the bitter north had never been quite appealing to Aurelia, especially with the coming winter. Her fur, though long, was thin and far better suited for the sea. Regardless, it could not keep her from the hunt, and it was perhaps a small blessing that her hind legs could not register the cold and numbing feeling as they'd dragged in the snow behind her. Always did she approach with prayer, a desperate attempt to bring them luck and prosperity and blessing, as she moved to join among their ranks. Foreign words hushed under breath dispelled their doubts and bad luck away. With each hunt she grew more confident, but ever was there a harsh reminder that she'd a hard limit to her capabilities.

filianore lingered long enough to determine that she would very much like the idea of rite preparation. the spirits were not laid to rest until she finished their final departure, thus she needed fresh blood from a body not of her own. their voices eventually drowned out filianore's trepidation as she came to the lake once more, the pressing kiss of winter's chill fervent and feverish. the tigress moved until she could see the faint presence of other lions nearby, though she made no particular gestures toward them for now. later on, filianore could curse them, just a little bit if necessary, but so far none showed her ire enough to warrant such a task. spirit of the land, blessed be thy name she whispered. her body continued forward, hoping to glean a shadow of movement from the sacrifice she would make today. allow me to take what is owed to you.

The furthest stretches of Amaryllis had always been a daunting feat, a test of his strength and endurance to travel so far in such a short time, but Xavier seldom shirked at the threat of the wilds. He'd ventured north with great haste, pushing himself to the limit; the air here was thinner, and colder, and it burned his lungs far more easily than that of the Bluffs. Xavier kept himself collected and guarded as he approached the group of lions, yet another large amassing of curious hunters taking advantage of the plentiful prey that had run into their country lately. Certainly, his family would be pleased he bring back yet another successful bounty.

The morning sun bathed Glacier Lake in a gentle glow, its serene surface reflecting the surrounding icy landscape. This gathering of fellow hunters was no longer a surprise. However, what was odd was the fact they were almost all the same faces as the last two times.

Her thick fur, certainly gifted by her Rike genetics, made the crisp chill of this place more bearable. As she approached the assembly, she couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the snowy expanses she once called home. No more. It was never her home in the sense of warmth and joy.

Earlier that day, Erna Runa had engaged in a unique exercise. She had sought out the sturdiest, largest rocks she could find, and with a series of strong movements, she pushed against them in order to exercise her strength.

Before joining the group, she took a moment to sharpen her claws. Her obsidian talons, as deadly as her determination, scraped methodically against a boulder, revealing their gleaming edge. With preparations complete, she approached the group, but still remained on the outskirts.
