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!

Hunger was a mighty thing. It was what drove Lucien to the pond, in search for more than just a pink feathered bird to eat. He’d had scented some much larger game nearby, followin’ its scent and ensuring that he kept himself downwind. Each paw step is calculated and soft, his body crouchin’ low to the ground to keep himself more concealed. Even though his fur blended in almost seamlessly with the tall grasses around him, his obsidian mane did not. As he crept onward he would release a couple of low yet deep chuffs, seein’ if there was any other lions about that would like to join in and take down a good meal. He falls still after a couple of moments, ears twistin’ as he listens to the world around him, to see who would heed his call.

though she was part of a pride, now, she was not going to slack off. della had grand visions of becoming a fierce warrior, perhaps even a leader one day, and while hunting wasn't her favorite pastime it served a purpose.

when she hears the chuff she adjusts her path and heads towards the pond, pausing every so often to brush against some vegetation, masking her lion scent. dirt and leaves clung to her thick fur but she didn't particularly mind; della wasn't here to win any beauty contests.

she takes note of their surroundings -- especially the pool of water that drew so many in -- before looking to the male that called them together. idly she wondered if he would use the terrain to their advantage, working with the water to trap whatever prey he had unearthed, but she doesn't linger long on this train of thought. instead she crouches, ready, waiting for the signal to begin.

The ghoul has long found the vast expanse of the rolling fields to be a pleasant place to be, as far as territories away from home went. It was an even more pleasant place to jog now that the previous heat wave was finally dissipating into the cool waves of autumn. One of the few positives of the waning seasons.

But he doesn't think he's come across this little pond before. He's sure he would remember its unique residents at the very least, tall pink birds that were both legion and very loud. He cracks an old antelope bone idly between his teeth as he watches them in dull contemplation, stretching his limbs out in the grass to ease the burning ache that had built up in his muscles. A flamingo would probably be easy to catch, he imagines. But would it be worth even the small effort? Unlikely.

Fortunately, a better course of action arrives in the form of a low chuff, and the Savante tosses his scavenged toothpick aside to answer it. Mircea's dark fur stands out like a sore thumb between the grass, much unlike the handsome dun pelt of the man whose voice had beckoned him here. He offers a rough grunt of greeting, and then hangs carefully back to study their surroundings while he waited for a signal.

He would be more useful once stealth was no longer needed, no doubt.

i am the storm / and im coming for you


she had been chasing the pink birds, not just for her pleasure but for her muscles and her agility exercises. faustine was more than eager, however, to also throw herself at every big enough rock to sharpen both her fangs and claws. it felt nice, to be honest, whenever they touched the hard surface; it was like scratching an itch that otherwise could not be scratched. seconds later, faustine found herself joining a hunt after she found the scents of lions congregating in the land. this wasn't an ideal place to find another creature besides the flamingo flock, but she also knew that the birds were more than enough to hide them behind their pink bodies. how odd, she thought, that of all creatures the flamingos had no sense of threat in them to escape even when a predator was among them.

The golden doll kept her eyes on the sky following the looming clouds. A light frown knitted her pale brows together as she scanned the sky. Lune surmised by the shading of the pale blue to dark white clouds that they were not rain clouds, but standard autumnal clouds carrying the news of the cold breeze. Signaling the incoming winter of the future. As much as the girl loved a rainstorm, she was not disappointed that there would not be rain today. The cool breeze sent a small shudder down her spine as she lifted herself from the soft grasses. Reaching out she stretched her way out of her mid-day nap. A yawn parting her delicate jaws with a slow stretch,

Once standing, the girl stalked forward for a couple of paces. She was standing for but a few moments before she heard the call. A familiar call that unfurled a warmth of excitement within her. Blonde ears swiveled towards the sound coming from near the pond. Lune sauntered in the direction of the call, watching the pod shimmering like a rounded jewel in the sunlight. Nose lowered, the girl followed the scent of lions closer towards the pond. She could make out the large pink bird, something about them was always a little off putting to her. What were they hiding in those big wings and fluffy pink bodies?

Upon approaching the pond, she noticed a few other lions also gathering around for the hunt. Lune flashes a friendly soft smile and nod of her head as she approaches the others before facing the surrounding area again. Let the games begin.

It was a cloudy autumn day around Celosia, and the Flamingo Pond was no exception. What was a little uplifting however, was the sound of none other than Lucien. Okay sure, she didn't know him all too well, but she knew enough. Enough that arriving at his hunt with a mischievous smirk gave her some feeling of thrill, whether warranted or not.

As was proving habitual of the yearling however, upon her ease into a roughly executed 'stealth-mode', one of the girls foreclaws snagged on a tangle of up-turned roots. Before she could re-adjust herself to accommodate, the whole talon was ripped from the nailbed. She scowled, catching her voice just enough so as not to jeopardize the hunt - she did feel like eating today after all.

Thankfully, the Lorien princess was well aware her smaller sister was not too far away - "@Enola," she summoned, low and brittle beneath the pain of the torn nail where it dangled in a stream of blood, "A favour."

What was that smell?

The pace of Maven's steady trot had been flagging anyway, as her breathing grew more labored around the burning in her lungs. The...odd aroma was as good an excuse as any to slow down and do a bit of exploration.

The pond isn't hard to find, especially not once the 'melody' of squawking birds grew all but impossible to ignore. The strange birds were kind of pretty, Maven thinks, her crimson gaze studying the many feathers painted in soft hues of pink, and the elegantly curved necks that seemed to offset the spindly legs in an odd way. They were pretty indeed, but...that fishy smell was definitely coming from them.

What on earth were they eating in that muddy water?

A faint rustling sound draws her attention away from the flock, her squinting eyes soon making out the shapes of other lions gathering in the dying grass. Ah. Hunters. Lately, the yearling seemed to have a knack for finding them everywhere.

Well, now that her breathing has settled into something more normal, why not lend a paw?

Perhaps they could hunt by themselves. Perhaps they'd find victory without her interference, without these quiet words of power. But where was the fun in that? The dieudonne girl keeps to the shadows as always, lurking where she's least likely to be seen. Ears are pitched forward, attention alight on the gathering group before her. They'd come together and hunt, and she was here to help. sang et viande, sang et viande; meat and flesh and blood. A quiet chant, a blessing known only to her -- but she drapes it over them regardless. She wants to see them succeed, here.

She wants to be the reason they succeed.

Flamingos were not his first choice, but who could tell what was lingering near their pool today. An uneasy sense of dread had fallen over the flock, and many had opted to leave by the time Kvare showed up. Fiery gaze narrowed against the bleary sky, thinking of all the feathers he'd need to prune before he could get to the tender meat beneath; but perhaps they'd get lucky and find a far better meal. He joined the throng of gathering lions having raced down from the near hillsides, breathless yet still eager to expend his boyish energy. He'd become far better at dodging and weaving around the jumpiest of animals, but kept himself prepared defensively, just in case.

She'd been far too distracted by the flamingos, this time.

She'd been busy preparing newer herbs she'd found along its banks when a curious hatchling strode up to her. Its parents were far too busy focusing their attentions on the older lions, and had thus cared little when their young one approached such a small and feeble cub. It had begun to poke its angry beak at the herbs she'd been setting out in a neat line to dry, and Melusina quickly swatted a paw out, attempting to bat it away from her work, completely oblivious to the lions gathering now in the background.
