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!

A thunderstorm threatened the hunt that day, but Ashaera would never shy from such a challenge. It left prey animals feeling protected, safe. It lended her the cloak of darkness, the rumbling of distant thunder and continuous cacophony of rain disguising her footsteps. Paws which were especially adept for the hunt crept through the jungle, ignoring the dampness of her heavy fur as she threaded through the thicket. There was a herd nearby, though the smell of petrichor had long diminished what sort of animal they were; regardless, she crept ever-closer, eager to launch her assault.

she doesn't know what she's doing here of all places. she can't remember exactly where it happened, that afternoon with draven, but her skin feels electric all the same as the painfully familiar scent of moss and decay settles over her. the bite of winter's coming is in the air and she shivers ( though not from the cold ), fluffing up her long fur and deepening her scowl. thunder rumbles overhead and the rain patters down around her, cleansing even the memories from her mind. she pauses in her approach, tipping her head back and letting herself bathe in the fresh water. a moment passes and she drops her eyes back to the tracks she's following. a paw brushes across the dimpled indent and her brows tighten, head dropping low, and easing her way through the undergrowth. the hush of the day bids her to quietness and she obliges, eyes searching the undergrowth for whomever she's tracking.

The weather was shit and the rain felt odd to her still. Rain wasn't common up in the mountains, it froze before it really got to touch anything. Still, the more she ventured into the low lands the more she was assaulted with culture shock. Yavanna liked the mud because it helped cover her pale coat but she hated the rain and one could see it in the angry set of her brows as she walked into the grove. Every few steps or so, she would move the mud to cover her sunken tracks frowning up at the canopy every time the sky roared. It was harder to hunt in this annoying weather but something was bound to mess up whether from fear or just pure stupidity.

Aurelia
still the curled fists gripping the yes of the world, the cadence of tragedy, the yes of night shepherding shadows closer to home. Yes, the moon, the bright unending.

It was especially dark for a thunderstorm, and Aurelia could feel the electrifying crackling in the air. And yet, she was drawn to the hunt, having noticed the collective of lions growing closer toward the herds that lingered within the grove's wider expanses. She struggled against the gnarled and tangled roots beneath her, and had quickly scaled a tree and hung from one of its large, low-hanging branches. Perhaps, if she could go unnoticed by whatever frantic prey was scared in her direction, she might have the advantage of leaping down onto one of them, taking them entirely by surprise.

The grove were a plentiful place, with pleasant whether even as the snow threatened to sweep down from the far north. The last autumnal blooms exploded the territory in elegant yellows, reds, and golds. Kvare would have been more mesmerized were he not so enthused about his own training, raking his claws against the trunks of ancient trees, sharpening them at their fine edges. Then, he would turn to strike the tree, thrilled by the sound of splintering wood in his wake. There was little that could pull him away, however, except for the call of a hunt; and eagerly did he answer it.

The Grove were a peaceful, plentiful place. Melusina had little trouble finding herbs among its blooming flowers, the last flora of autumn quickly finalizing their last blooms before they receded for the winter. Greedy was she in her endeavor, plucking as many as her pouch could fit and leaving out in the sun those that did not. Eventually, however, she was drawn to the noises of gathering lions in the near distance. Her paws quickly scrambled in their direction, finding a pleasant spot on a nearby fallen log to watch as they began to group up, to discuss their plans.

The girl was called out of her light slumber by the rumbling of thunder, the delicate patter of rain, and the warm scent of the earth enveloping around her svelte frame. She extends her forelegs in a deep stretch, pressing her stomach to the softened ground while raising her hips as if pulled against gravity by marionette strings. Lune rubbed herself against the the soft flowers, letting blades of grass tickle her nose as she enshrouded herself in their essence. Hoping the let herself wash away in the rain and the flora of the grove.

Something else twinkled underneath the roll of thunder. Faint noises, unfamiliar smells, the possibility of a new adventure. Without a moment of hesitation, Lune rose from her romp in the flowers and followed the scent trail. She felt dually rewarded as she approached a group of lions gathering for the hunt. Looking around, she gave the hunting party a friendly nod - eagerly anticipating what unsuspecting prey would cross their path.

IANTHE
1 Y | No Bonuses

Despite the dark, rumbling overcast, orange ashanti peppers were still easy to spot in the otherwise muted landscape. The herbs are stuffed hastily into her satchel, Ianthe trying to gather as much as she can before the first crash of thunder breaks across the sky.

Between the columns of pines, she spots a small crowd gathered in the thicket. A hunt about to start, and she accepts that her fate is to be a part of it.
With a sigh Ianthe weaves through the trees and joins them.

"By ancient wisdom and nature's grace, may your aim be true and your quarry embrace its fate." She says, and then pauses, "And keep us dry." It's not Hekate's usual prayer, but Ianthe doesn't see why she can't at least ask.

The grove was a decent area for remaining undetected. Though there was not a lot of ground cover, and very little foliage, the evergreen trees were plentiful and fragrant. The rain helped to wash away any distinct notes from her scent, and would help conceal her tracks. The rumble of thunder disguised any sounds she may have made as she rubbed herself against the branches and trunks of the trees. Her body stayed low to the ground, gaze seeking out trees that were more lush, with dense, lower hanging branches. She slid closer to the group, doing her best to keep her steps silent despite the cover given by the weather, and ducked down once she was within earshot, sliding into a small hollow under one of the many trees to hide.

With her body rubbed in dry mud, she works to cover her scent as she finds herself traveling forward into a neutral land she hadn't been in before. Purple eyes were alert as she moved, noting the grove and it's many features. A useful feature she found with the land was the tall trees and shelter that it provided, something she bet people used more often than not. Keeping close to the bundle of endless trees, she finds her interest shifting to the weather, the way the breeze was chilled and the skies above, wondering if maybe a storm might be on the horizon sooner or later with winter coming.
