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
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 dawn rushed over the northern peaks of Amaryllis with more speed than Aphid had experienced in other parts of the land. As though truly closer to the reaching fingers of warmth, it's morning scramble for contact is readily greeted by the frosty slopes of The Freeze and even more so by the lions who occupied them.

Aphid had trailed a fresh scent up towards The Springs, and found herself huddling around the steamy warm edges of the pools whilst she tried to catch which direction the smell had come from. Unclear what it was as yet, she cast a low chuff down the mountain for any ears who might catch wind and lend aid.

She'd risen early with the dawn, when her breath still danced visibly above her head everytime she inhaled and exhaled. Her stride held purpose, athletic limbs taking her towards the Peaks. There she began her daily routine, climbing up the dangerous hills in order to train her strength. After a couple of hours, she decided to make her way toward the hot springs for a quick bath, desiring to ease her muscles.

Along the way she rose to her back feet to sharpen her front claws on a hefty boulder. THey left pale marks upon the stony surface, until she was satisfied with their sharpness.

The call for a hunt caught her attention, and she followed it eagerly. It was only one woman, but Runa knew that more would come. She wasn't used to being the first one, and so she simply nodded curtly at @Aphid.

ah, yuck! olympia spluttered a glob of plants out and watched it plop onto the ground. that isn't a herb. her ears drooped and she defiantly kicked the glob into an awaiting hot springs. she had been so careful too, looking out for the bright berries that signified a poisonous plant, to the bitter earthen taste of medicinal ones. she had thought she found the latter, until she realized they were neither medicinal or poisonous.

there was a weeks old baby mouse that clung onto her neck. she had allowed it because it barely weighed anything. when olympia spat the plants out, it squeaked and settled onto her cheek. shall we move on? she asked with a sheepish smile. as if it knew, the baby mouse squeaked once and buried itself into the dense plush of her fur.

just beyond, olympia noticed two lionesses. a hunt? in this place? she said as she headed towards them. as if on cue, olympia's stomach growled and she realized that it would be impossible to ignore it any longer. the medicine satchel she wore hung limp to her breast. she could store some meat in there in place of what she came to look out for. but, just as olympia settled, she saw some garden cress. now, those she knew and she giggled. those are mine, i gotta have them.

It was cold here and initially she had been drawn in by a faint warmth against her whiskers. Now she approached in order to be of service.
Neytiri smiled and nodded to the few that were here, unsure of who exactly had made the call. Eyes landed on Runa kindly, recognizing her from the Mire. The other two however, after observing each of their scents, seemed to both be rogues. Neytiri X'uekai. From Ecrosia. She introduced.
The tall woman took a seat, residing herself to simply watching and waiting. Either until more joined them or a target crossed their paths.

A deep breath in, and warmth rushes into her lungs. Ianthe finishes gathering the nursing herbs and immediately heads over to the source of that divine heat.
The mineral scent being carried on the vapors overpowers her nose, she can usually smell lions before she sees them, but the group of lionesses at the edge of the pool is a surprise. One she recognizes, and Ianthe nods at her in greeting.
She can't smell prey, either, but it must be what they're aggregating for. Green eyes peer through the fog to try and spot the intended meal across the otherwise barren tundra.

Another hunt, and another chance to learn and prove herself. She had never traveled this much throughout her life, only leaving the safety of home a handful of times. The more she ventured out, the more she saw, the more she felt her confidence grow. She was not self assured like many of the others she’d seen in the Summit, but she hoped that with time it would change. That she wouldn’t always feel so lost and directionless. This was a good first step, and she would keep taking steps until she found where she was meant to be. She stopped amongst the other hunters, looking around to check for familiar faces, but was content to settle in quietly while she waited for the hunt to begin.

{3 years | No bonus}

The warmth of the hot springs was an oasis in the biting cold of the snowy cliffs. Lune felt the sting of the cold air rattle her bones. She would have preferred to be curled up in the familiar warmth of her den, surrounded by flowers and dozing to sweet birdsong, but duty called. Herbs would not collect themselves and the girl needed to be stocked for the coming winter.

Lune gazed around the surrounding rocks, looking for the pale green climbing of Usnea. The girl climbed on top of a couple of rocks to get a better view. She was some of the gossamer herb hanging from a twisting of branches. Leaning forward and outstretching her neck, Lune carefully grabbed a mouth full of the plant. Lune dried the icy frost off of the mossy plant prepping it so it could be readily used. Cautiously, she returned back to the ground and placed the plant between some of the rocks to shield it as she continued about her way. Lune looked around for more Usnea but did not see any. Sighing, she turned her pink nose to the air to see if something else was out there.

To Lune's excitement she smelled other lions. She took a deep breath before turning around to follow the scent. She was pleased to see that after walking a few lengths, she came upon a gathering group - the makings of a hunting party. Bring on the prey, she was hungry - she was ready.

one year, +1 dice to hunt rolls
Leaping great distances and pivoting around corners, Daneri was making quick distance to a place that was referenced to for fighters. A place they could go to truly relax their muscles but first, she wanted to make sure that she put them to good use. Trailing up a frigid hillside, back legs working overtime as she sprang from one cold cliffside to another. Careful to land herself further towards solid rock rather than the slippery ledge that only her eyes could see. Each landing was met with a few solid seconds of taking a deep breath, both in joy that she had made it but also as though she were waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The ledge she found herself on gave way to expanse of land but it was truly the gathering of lions that hoisted her attention. Specifically @Ianthe as the yearling drew on closer (still keeping her distance) but wondering if this was one of the "three" that Hekate at the Passage had mentioned. It was hard to know who was who and even harder to know if the girl had been lying saying that there were three... perhaps the twins should've lied and said there were actually FOUR of them... that would've been more fun. But leave it to Daneri to think of something clever far after the fact. So she turned her attention back on the hunt, choosing (for now) to allow the curiosity to vanish. Instead, her gaze locks quietly onto her half-sister and if not for the hunt seemingly going to start soon she shuts her trap. Maybe another time...

A bath maybe? Hmmm. Dio had wandered up the mountain thinking about taking a soak in the hot springs. On the way up she quietly let her mind wander, meditating on the past, the feeling of her paws on the ground, the world around her. She quietly sighs and emerges in sight of the spring.


But lo, a hunt? Another? She frowns just a bit and strikes her paw upon the ground to make it bleed. A rite of payment. Repayment for what we take. May we be successful and swift. Guide us. She blessed with a gentle voice and then headed off to join the rest of the lions.

As a child he may have not been too fond of the frozen northern lands, but it was slowly growing on him the older he got. He still lacked the thick fur that adorned some of his family members. But he was beginning to grow somewhat of a mane. It added some extra warmth to the nape of his neck at least.
Asbjørn may have gotten a little used to being so cold all the time but he wasn't immune. The hot springs were always a nice place to visit. Even if you didn't get into the water, the steam was also enough to warm your bones.
But he wasn't alone today. A hunt? His paw wiped at the ground beneath him, his intent set mentally as he envisioned sweeping away any negativity that may be lingering. Maua guide and protect us. He whispered.
