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!

FOR THOSE OF GREAT AMBITION [ cirilla x ambrose ]
  Quote     |   #1
These children will follow the Sigrún drownings upon their first birthday. Please bear this in mind when applying for a cub - Cirilla will likely do this 'on-screen'.

This has been in the pipeline for a long time, with both Cirilla and Ambrose dancing around one another in a rain dance. Their first meeting ended up in Ambrose being poisoned, and it was from there that their initial spark seemed to grow. Now, the pair are seemingly infatuated with one another, and after many nights together, they give you:

SHE IS THE SUN - a lioness who burns with radiance and love for her immediate family, but mostly for her mother whom she adores. lilija is not the bearish brute that her sígrun lineage demands to be, instead, she's the flower that is nourished by the morning lights. she will be a happy child, full of fascination for the world and how she can make it better and not worse. she can also be rather mischevious, constantly taking small trinkets from both ambrose and cirilla's hoard before returning it back to them. her siblings ought to watch out for her, too, for lilija will be quick to play harmless pranks once their backs are turned.

yet still, the girl is born imperfect, like others. while the rest of her siblings' imperfections may lie in their personal traits, lilija is that and so much more. as a cub, she will speak with a stutter, a trait that often causes her to stay her words in the midst of strangers. in time, lilija will simply not speak, for she has simply become too shy to allow others the chance to realize what she is. when she does speak, lilija chooses short and simple sentences, which often relies on her becoming brutally honest and curt to those around her. she has a short temper and patience because of it, but also because she would rather spend her time alone.

a covetous creature, if she cannot have it handed to her then she will simply take it. her judgment is clear and her opinions are the truth; do not hinder lilija's wants and needs lest you want to see the dark side of the sun — for it shall burn just as much and twice as painful, for if she will not speak, she'll simply destroy.

Name: Bryndis Sigrún
Appearance I will be purchasing a design to be made for her upon approval! The vision I have for her is to have a pretty good mix of both markings but lean a bit more towards Ambrose's design. (But hello, momma's hip stripes are a NEED.)
Personality:
A prideful bundle of life, Bryndis will grow to see herself as unstoppable. She believes her faith gives her strength - that Vellen guides her through her days and challenges her by hard times to test her will to adapt. To survive. She is ambitious, idolizing her parents and specifically the strength of her Mother. She finds herself studying her and trying to learn how to be her more often than not.

Thanks to her Father, Bryndis does have a rather nice social life and isn't afraid to be put in the spotlight. She seems to get along well with others, not minding to spark a conversation with a stranger. Especially when it comes to sweet-talking someone to get what she wants.

She wants to see herself be a symbol of strength, of unity under the similar faith; and desires to do whatever she must to continue on the belief of her people, of her family. Bryndis will go to extreme lengths for those who are her family, and becomes increasingly selfless when danger is prominent in the area. To her, she is a shield for her kin; a guard who will always be utilized.

Interests:

Goals:
- I hope to see her max in either Master Paladin or Master Barbarian; but I certainly see her being a bit more on the fighty type. I could see Cleric or assassin being a good submaster fit, but I'm also curious to seeing what she gets interested in ICly!
- I hope to reach 100 posts with her by the age of one - to go along with her 1st birthday drowning milestone!

Ideas:
- A strong connection to her family, especially her siblings from this litter. She will go out of her way to create these bonds and be a present, active body in the family.
- I would enjoy seeing her grow to take of a ranked status in a pride, that way she can work on her social skills and political ways of thinking too!

Jóhanna Sigrún

(alt names: Halldora, Fjola, Silija)

Cub #3
Master Assassin/Sub Medic or Erudite
~ Chaotic Neutral ~
Vivacious - Domineering - Ambitious - Decisive - Stubborn - Logical - Extreme - Spontaneous - Deceptive - Insensitive


Lively and strong-willed even from a young age, Jóhanna moves through the world with the air of someone who believes that this world is clearly beneath them and yet delights in its novelties all the same. If the world does volunteer to bend to her will, then she will simply prod it into shape by whatever means necessary, for she is not a girl who believes in trying things - she merely does them. Once her teeth are sunk in, she will not let go, and she will have all that her heart desires, regardless of who or what might stand in her way.

The drive of ambition comes to her as naturally as breathing, though her competitive nature is not as aggressive as some. Why should it be? She is not the one who must prove herself, surely - it is everyone else who must prove themselves to her, no?

(Yet she is all too easy to offend. To challenge her is to be consumed by the wrath of the ocean itself.)

She is energetic and courageous, but not necessarily excitable, if only because she knows such childish behavior cannot convey the imposing power that all Sigrun should possess. Oh, how she dreams of being as beautiful and as terrifying as her mother someday! With each day that passes, the young Jóhanna will only try harder and harder to distance herself from the immaturity of childhood, always trying to present herself as older and wiser than her youthful frame would suggest. An exceptionally difficult task for one who does not truly know 'maturity' is.

(And yet the day of Vellen's judgement draws ever closer. Will it be as glorious as she imagines?)

Her family aside, Jóhanna's perceptions of other lions tends to go to extremes. Either she will love you or hate you, and there is little room for anything in between. Yet regardless of where the pendulum swings, she has difficulties making true connections with others, her heart plagued with a distinct lack of empathy even as she learns to properly master the art of conversation and politics. And master it she will, for her belief that she needs no one else is not entirely truthful. Deep down, she thrives on the idea of being adored and desired and feared.

(If she doesn't manipulate the thoughts and actions of others, then how might they truly feel about her? She won't admit to being afraid of that answer.)

Perhaps that is where the dissonance originates. How could one claim to care for the feelings of others when they cannot even comprehend the depths of their own emotions?

Even her family will not be safe from the tantrums that naturally come alongside her bossy nature. She is likely to butt heads with the most forceful of her siblings, determined to wrangle them under her control no matter how impossible such a goal might seem. But Jóhanna loves them fiercely, even if she is not always gentle with them. After all, even her most selfish-seeming goals are rooted in a desire to make her family proud, Cirilla most of all.

Other details:
- I don't plan to use the roll's random Deafness mutation, but I'm thinking it would be an interesting plot if she loses hearing after her drowning

- Likes to experiment with herbology, and is very likely to use her siblings as test subjects if no one steps in quickly enough

- Potential accidental poisonings aside, she'll have a very strong connection with her immediate family and their beliefs

- Likely to get herself into quite a few fights, even as a cub

Katarína Sigrùn
cisgender female
pathfinder x assassin

personality resilient, patient, and thoughtful as a child. very family oriented, though can be pouty and mischievous if something doesn't go the right way. selfish in the sense that if another desires what is wanted they aren't allowed to have it, and will take even from siblings. close at first with parents and siblings, growing more distant as a teen.

near-rude, brash tongued and inexperienced with losing. manipulative for things to go her way. needy, in a sense, emotionally. resourceful in other ways. able to pick out paths with a sharp eye, often finding the lay of a land interesting. utilizes the land for the upper hand, always calculating.

Hjordis Sigrún
"sword goddess"
Master Barbarian, Submaster Cleric or Assassin?
Alt Names: Brynhild - "ready for battle"; Birna - "bear"; Sigríður - "powerful silence, and peaceful champion"




Alternate Design
I'm willing to use whichever design! I just couldn't decide which I liked better when making it ^^

Adult References w/neck stripes visible: Dark Pants; Light Pants



She is almost the spitting image of her mother Cirilla, with a few sprinklings of Ambrose added in. As an adult, she will grow to be larger than both of her parents - standing at a height of 3'9" when she matures. Brawny like her mother, though with an attractive feminine curve to her frame when she matures, Hjordis will weigh in at 470lbs. Her fluffy fur is thick, but doesn't weigh her down in the water due to careful cleaning and grooming to keep it that way.

Evidence that she was born for the sea and the water, Hjordis has webbed paws on all four feet. It enables her to swim swiftly through the water like the shark that she is. As she grows into her true size, the Sigrún will likely gain more scars and marks on her pelt. But for at least a little while, she remains sleek and beautiful. Her tail carries stripes from neither parents, a callback to her mother's father. Darkness lining the undersides of duotoned pink and green eyes, her gaze can be unsettling and a bit unnerving to some. A splotch of darkness on her nose is another trait given to her by her father, though it is quite obvious that she is her mother's daughter through and through.

Markings List: Face Mask (Cirilla), Forehead Stripes (Ambrose), Neck Stripes (Cirilla) [can't be seen on ref], Ankle Stripes (Cirilla), Dark Under Eyes (Ambrose), Dark Nose Blaze (Ambrose), Rump Stripes (Cirilla), Tail Stripes (Leviathan via Cirilla), Tail Marking (Ambrose), & Global Pants (Cirilla)


Introduced to Vellen at a young age, Hjordis will do everything for Vellen. She believes that she was gifted to her parents by vellen as a soldier to fight for her mother and for Vellen, and to do whatever she could to help the family thrive. She takes the meaning of her name to heart, believing she is a sword to help fight for her cause. Protective of her siblings and her family, Hjordis rarely takes another into her fold. Everyone who is a Sigrún has her immediate trust, and she finds those outside of the family hard to trust. She also idolizes her mother Cirilla, who she believes is the vision of what a Sigrun should be.

Devout to a fault, it will be hard to tear Hjordis away from the shoreline. She can be ruthless when it comes to fighting for those she cares about - and one you gain her trust, she will always come to your aid. However... she can also be quite manipulative of others to try to get them to do what she wants - even if they get nothing out of it. From a young age, she's overly-confident and a bit of a smart alek, often clashing with her parents over what's best for her - believing that she obviously knows what's best for her and they don't. Regardless of her actions towards her parents - she will always love both of them.

From the very beginning, Hjordis is very observant of her surroundings. Anything that catches her attention, she is keen to watch - to learn. Especially anytime her mother is fighting, she wants to learn from one of the best fighters she knows. She is always aware of her surroundings, and is not likely to let anything slip her notice - even if that said thing is trying to hide away from prying eyes. Its a skill she hones from the very early ages, trying to find bugs and creatures and eventually using it to find those who should not be lurking around.
