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.

The meeting being summoned was something Mateo would make sure he was in attendance for. When he arrived, he saw many were already there. Mateo would make his way closer into the gathering, gaze scanning over those he passed by.

He knew the Summit was a large pride - but he never really knew how large. Sitting back upon the sidelines, he settles himself as he observes everything going on. He notes who comes, idly watching, all while wondering just what was going to be announced to them all. He was fine sticking to himself right now, it allowed him to actually focus.

sun summoner.

He wondered if it were mere coincidence his mothers had called them so near the eve of their birth. Yet, the seriousness carried in Morrigan's call indicated perhaps it were far from a festive affair. Radahn had grown tall, stalky; his mane had long begun to reach down his shoulders, but his chest had remained bare, leaving his locks to fall over the sides of his neck. Tendrils of dark hair fell into his face, brushed against his kinked whiskers. And now, a long, thin scar reached from just above his brows and curled down to his jaw. His left eye had fogged over, losing its color, now unseeing. By the time he'd arrived, a large group had already begun to gather. The young prince quickly found his way closer toward @Lavender, seemingly the only consistent one of his littermates to still be present. Arguably, the one Radahn had bickered with the most as they'd grown. Yet, here they stood; resilient, remaining.

His gaze briefly casts over toward @Yavanna, another of their sisters who'd long come to join them. While calling gently for their newest additions, Radahn could not hear the toddling of their little paws quite yet, or see them squirming through the snow long collecting, a promise of the coming winter. Eventually, however, his gaze rested upon his mothers as they stood upon their icy thrones, preparing himself for the announcements soon to follow.

The world was not what Valeria had thought it was, and she felt foolish for having been so naive. She had spent so many days letting herself waste away in anticipation for becoming a princess once more, hoping to see her father reign as king again. Now that she had witnessed two different pride challenges, had seen how vastly differently those could turn out, she had decided she didn’t want that anymore. It wasn’t enough to just be content with where she was, but she needed to find her place.

The call for a meeting was not exactly a surprise, and she was grateful there would be an update for everyone about everything that had happened. She hoped that war would not be the main focus of this gathering, though, as it had been the last time. Upon arriving, her gaze quickly found her brother, and she made her way over to him, taking a seat just beside @Mateo quickly, with a gentle bump of her shoulder against his.

Coming into his tenth winter soon, Jafar was more than used to being called for meetings. Especially after hard-fought battles by leaders, as Morrigan had done time and time again now. She was an opponent that he was glad that he would never have to face with teeth bared. If anything, he was thankful that his children were growing up and able to see strength not only in their parents but in those around them. That they could look to most any of these lions and see loyalty in their veins and strength that did not quit, even if there is loss. That thought was a bit bitter as he knew that he had lost the Rainforest and yet had not gone back, but it was in the following months that he realized his goals had changed.

As he came upon the meeting, he gazed swiftly to find family. Happy to see Alvena and Faelyn first, not family but they were family in any way that counts. Hero and Roan not to far off, a grin beginning to etch its way onto his face before he eventually sets his eyes on @Mateo and @Valeria. Pleased to see them present and here, participating in something that would otherwise be boring but this was just as important as any other event. Mis hijos, my children he cooed quietly to the both of them as he settled near. Allowing them their own personal space while keeping close to him because he wished for all to see that they were a unit. Together, close and at the call of their leaders.

As per usual, Alette was clung to her mama. The overly sensitive little girl was never far from the one who was so quick to always give her comfort and cuddles. Her little body pressed into @Talisa as she stared wide eyed at all the lions gathering. It was the first time in her life ever seeing a crowd. And the first time she would experience a sense of stage fright. {So many, Mama.} She squeaked, her eyes already starting to tear up. She really hoped none were looking at her! Alette would try to melt further into Talisa's fur whether anyone had or hadn't noticed her. Better safe than sorry.

When her mothers called, Cassandra would answer the summons. She had a feeling this had to do with some of the recent events, now that her mothers were feeling better and that her youngest siblings were out and wandering from the den now. She was a bit concerned over them, however, considering they were so young and winter seemed to be fast approaching. Pulling herself away from the borders, the dark brown lioness started to head in the direction of her mother's summons. Her scarred visage certainly told tales as she approached the gathering of lions.

Approaching @Morrigan, @Talisa and @Isla ♔, Cassandra aimed to give all three of them affectionate headbumps before moving off to sit with the rest of the pride - namely next to her bigger little sister @Yavanna. Giving her paler sister a rumble of greeting, she would sit down on the snow. A quick look around revealed some familiar faces, spotting @Eskel in the crowd. A smile would be given to the large lion if he caught her eye, but otherwise she would sit and wait patiently for her mother to reveal why she'd called them all here. She had plans in motion - and would hopefully be able to put those plans in motion soon. Morrigan knew she couldn't sit idle for too much longer, not with native land in enemy paws. That whole ordeal needed to be discussed for sure... Figuring out logistics of it and everything.

Mentally shaking herself, Cassandra decided to focus on the task at paw - listening to her mother and doing whatever she needed to do to help out the Summit while she was here.

It had been some time since Dumah had last attended a meeting. Had Jafar and Maia called the last one? The question hung in the air, as he rose to his feet and shook out his mane. Bleary-eyed, he hunched his shoulders as he made his way to the meeting spot. Perhaps waking up early and napping were not good bedfellows.

The mountain still bore the scars of its inhabitants' battles, and so did the lions. The winds of change howled across the summit, whether they were wanted or not. Dumah, too, felt his restlessness coming to an end. He did not want to remain a nameless, unworthy man forever. With great effort and focus, he would become someone others could respect and rely on.

If his senses were to be trusted, the Illyrians were in great numbers. The meeting provided an ideal excuse to find out just how great his new pride was. And how would he make his mark? He watched the lions greet and mingle with a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. A cursory glance revealed that @Shenandoah was absent. He hesitated, feeling shy and out of place. Stop it. The mental admonition was enough to push the unhelpful thought aside. I have every right to be here.

The young male approached @Jafar with a chuff and decided to settle nearby. Close enough to make a physical show of his support for the Casales family, while maintaining a respectful distance. Dumah's eyes slipped from @Morrigan, @Talisa and @Isla ♔ as he waited for their speech.

Though her emotions remained raw towards the pact between the plum male, and her grandmother... Ire was not something she ever truly felt towards her family. Frustration, and temporary anger? Yes- but she was Sigrun, and Greyflood, and Valour, through and through. When she heard the summons, she deviated towards the Summit, and she began the ascent. Eisa climbed the mountain, pushing herself to move quickly- and when she made it to the meeting place- she halted at the edge- glancing around.

She was a rouge, but she was family. And she refused to lower her head, to look ashamed of anger that had caused her to leave. No, Morrigan had called the family and pride. She needed to be here.

She saw @Morrigan, @Talisa, and if her grandmothers looked her way- she would offer a solemn nod, and perhaps the ghost of a smile. @Cassandra would get a lingering look, and she'd nod to her mother- a smile there too. Because despite everything- they were family. Her emotions aside- this was where her loyalty lay, and where it would always remain.

He didn't have a name for the heightene emotions that many brought with them to Mummy's meeting. In fact at first he didn't even realize the tension in the air. He was excitd to go out wit Mama and see a bit more of the territory. Each step further from the den made his heart sing and soul fly over head. There was so much to see and do that for most of the walk over he barely kept up and often became distracted and had to rush to catch up to Talisa and his siblings.

He was glad when they came to a stop and other lions began to gather around. Fearne had a good chance to look at everything now. Lions? They were mostly ignored. He looked at the rocks, the sky, the mountain lines in the distance. whoa- He whispers to himself.

But eventually that damning heavyiness brought by some of the adults settles in. And Fearne doesn't have a clue what is wrong just that soething is seemingly sitting on his back all of a sudden. With a small whimper he settles in as close to Talisa's feet as he could- squirming inbetween her forepaws if she'd allow and none of his siblings had taken the space up yet.

Dio cannot find reason to avoid facing her family any longer. She loves them, they must miss her. It's hard as she climbs the mountain, for what must be the fifth or sixth time, to pull herself further and into the territory. She swears she can still small blood of Morrigan and that challenger on the borders. Memories real and made up swarmed her and this time... this time she pushed through. Beckoned by Morrigan's call not as Illyrian but as Valour, as family. The cold, the rough mountain stone beneath her paws, were all familiar. They did not feel as safe and grand as before... but she's not here for the mountain. She's here for-

Hi. Dio sheepishly says in greeting as she appears, and stays, in the back of the meeting and those gathered. Her vision skimming over others and up to her Aunts, to the small children around she does not recognize and who have joined the family since Dio had left. She's here for them.
