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?

February 20th, 2023 Even though the last batch of pride challenges did not succeed in shifting most of the political tides in Amaryllis, it did not deter ambitious souls from seeking out thrones of their own. The fates of both Lorien Plains and Caladan Cove now hang in the balance, stirring further unrest as a result.

January 25th, 2023 It seems that the island wasn't ready for new leaders to take over right away as Vermier keeps ahold of the Hollows and Cassandra keeps the Brook in the family. The steadiness doesn't last long as a blistering sand storm rolls through the Oasis, leaving it empty until Ronin and Scorpius take up battle to see who will claim the lands.

January 16th, 2023 After battling for their prides, all current leaders remain with their crowns. Amara successfully wins a challenge for the Bluffs for the third time. Morrigan wins her first battle after a year of leading the Summit, the relations between the Mire and Summit seem to have splintered as war breaks out. Ryker battles a familiar face in Leander for the Oasis and manages to keep his crown and denies a family the ability to get back to it. Alexander battles Vermier for the Hollows, a move that causes Ryker to drop his attachements to Alexander's family.

January 9th, 2023 After peace seemed to settle over the island the warm air and lifting of the rains brings out the challenges for prides. The Lagoon gains new leaders. The Oasis leader, Ryker fights to keep his pride from Leander. Amara, the oldest leader in the island once again fights to keep the Bluffs, this time against Arkyn. While Cassandra fights against Aeistrios to keep the Brook in the paws of family and friends.

December 19th, 2022 In a bold move, Amara of Wolfbron Bluffs has taken King Alizabeth prisoner after she was attacked by some mammoths. This has left Scilla Lagoon empty of it's leader once again.

December 16th, 2022 Spring works it's way to the island and with the coming of warmer weather it seems that the island has calmed and for the moment allowed things to settle.

November 29th, 2022 The winter season has proven to be brutal and unforgiving as the weather pushes the lions of Scilla Lagoon from their home, once again leaving the pride vulnerable for claiming. This time, Ronin is looking for the opportunity to rule, though he is quickly countered by Alizabeth, who is hoping to reclaim what was once her's.

November 11th, 2022 After Alizabeth left the Lagoon to find her cub and ended up falling ill, the pride has found itself at the center of another challenge and war. Prometheus and Recluse fought to see who would lead Scilla Lagoon, with Recluse reigning victorious, while the lions of Wolfbron Bluffs extend their reach with Vermier as the new High Sovereign of Obsidian Hollows. With so many changes to the leaders of Amaryllis, what is ahead for the island?

November 8th, 2022 "When will this end?" you may ask yourself as you are thrust in between worlds once more. This time, however, you are not simply floating in the nothingness or above the land you call home. No. It is snippets of visions that pay now before you as if you're there. As if it isn't just a memory of a time long gone. Their piercing eyes gaze at you. You are taken aback out of fear or maybe awe. Somehow you know deep within your heart the identity of this loner: Kivuli. When you awake, the memory of the fury in their gaze remains burned within your mind.

October 22nd, 2022 An earthquake has resulted in parts of Obsidian Hollow to fall in, trapping Roan in the process as he sought to evacuate the others. In the aftermath, Vermier and Revna waste no time moving in to make their claim for the newly vacant territory.

October 17th, 2022 It is happening again - you are thrust into this in-between of worlds, the tendrils of mist swirling before you like hungry serpents. You can almost feel them tickle your sides and wrap around your ankles -- "I am Kivuli," the strange chorus of voices responds firmly, their fury brimming at the tip of their words. It is powerful and intense, like a titanous wave about to crash and leave everything in ruin. "... and I will take back what is mine." What is coming for the island? Will there be enough support to keep Maua as the stronger deity or will Kivuli take over?

October 8th, 2022 A rumble is felt on the eastern side of the island, prompting violent waves to crash into the lands of Caladan Cove and driving out the lions that once lived there. Days pass before the ocean calms and settles once again, but the lions that were once there are now gone, and the pridelands are open for a new ruler.

October 7th, 2022 Alizabeth remains the leader of Scilla Lagoon whilst Seneca loses his battle to Ryker for Andal Oasis. Will the outcome of these battles shape how the island works together in the coming days? With new leaders also taking over Lorien Plains (Ghyslaine) and Vermeda Brook (Cassandra), things could be on edge once again.

October 1st, 2022 Something takes hold of those living on the island - - shared vision or dream that seems to shake the core of what they have come to know. Accompanied with a strange voice within their minds, those who came to Amaryllis long ago, guided by Maua's voice, will feel a pagne of familiarity. Only this time, the voice is different and chilling. What is coming?

DECEMBER Y10
winter
Winter has finally landed within Amaryllis, bringing with it fresh snow, cold nights, and icy winds. The northern and eastern territories are hit the worst, though the valley, in its entiery, is unable to escape the frigid veil of the season. All inhabitants would do well to find themselves some shelter, and maybe an extra pelt or two to help keep them warm!

There in the humid air of the Mire, in a small clearing- near on the muddier creeks, she practiced. Odette had been pushing a large stone across the clearing with her shoulder, huffing and puffing as she heaved had shoved. She had been working as hard as she could, and had finally decided she needed a break. When she stretched, giving herself a shake- she studied the clearing and spied a long stick.

She jumped in the air, twisting as she did so- trying to land firmly on the stick. In her mind she pictured the back of an opponent, and she sank her claws into the stick and the earth around it- jaws clamping around the bark as she ferociously bit into it- snapping her head left and right, the stick breaking in her grip. She hadn't really ever fought anyone... but she could practice and work on getting better, right?

She let go of the stick with a soft huff, and kicked it across the clearing, towards a tree trunk and then she looked around, considering what else was there to work with. When she found nothing, she reared up on her hindlegs, doing some experimental swipes at the air- trying to get a feel for that, and how it may feel to go against an opponent. Her tail lashed behind her, as she stumbled and struggled- her balance hard to maintain.

She fell back to the earth with a disappointed sigh, wondering why this was so hard.

"Your movements are too slow," came sudden voice from within the marshy forest. The king had stumbled upon the girl a few minutes prior when setting out to take his morning patrol and opted to watch and wait. Bruno stalked forward to reveal himself in that clearing, settling his gaze upon the bluish adolescent with unabashed scrutiny. "You are scrawny – and a lioness. Strength will not be your angle." He explained while trying to stop a few tail-lengths away from the girl.

'But, if you are fast enough, they will not see you coming." They did not see me coming, he instructed with a shrugging roll of his shoulders. The bog birds made their usual morning chorus, announcing a day that sounded far more grand than its probable reality. Bruno emitted a gaping yawn.

She is almost blissfully unaware of the others within the Mire. As if she has forgotten that she is not the only one who lives among the swampy land. When a voice speaks, she is startled from her mental reverie- flinching into a more current state of awareness- looking for the speaker- someone she has not one on one spoken with- ever. When he emerges from the shadows, she is face to face with her elder half brother and most importantly— the high sovereign of the Mire- @Bruno ♔.

She does not know what to think of the male and she feels the desire to balk under his scrutinizing gaze. Yet, she aims to meet his gaze, considering his words carefully and with a slight tilt of her head. "You beat our father." Such a simple statement that was laced with curiosity.

To her, that proved his prowess in battle- his skill. And so she asked. "Can you show me?"

He did not move to fill the silence more than he had. With his instructions hanging in the air, the sovereign looked down upon the adolescent with a quirked, studious brow. Perhaps she would be offended – would shrivel under scrutiny, as most women did. Perhaps she would try to cut him down to her own level. Many had attempted such and failed. When finally she spoke, he remained unmoving.

"Can you show me?" Were he in a worse mood, he might insist that he could do whatever he liked. Instead, he let out a hint of a scoff.

"Why should I?" Bruno's head tilted at a subtle angle. There was not malice lacing the words – no, merely the curiosity of an active mind – perhaps even the suggestion of a challenge. The king remained poised as he stood there in the training clearing and sought to take in whatever information he could about his alleged kin.

She stared at @Bruno ♔, considering the new king with a frank and studious expression. He let silence fall between them, and she waited, and when he replied to her question it wasn't the eager acceptance she had hoped for, and so she tilted her head- studying him. "I want to learn, and be the best I can be for the Mire." She said simply, a bit of a furrow in her brow. "And.. you're my brother." She added. "I know there's a lot of us but..." She shrugged. She wanted to make an impression, a good one.

"I may be a lioness and small." She said carefully, repeating his own words. "But I may have to fight one day and I want to be good." She said, considering what she said with a weight to her words that most yearlings may not carry, but perhaps it was her interest in herbs that made her so studious and serious.
