December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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!

Rolling 5d20: 16 + 17 + 4 + 15 + 7


This was not a trek for the faint of heart, with her dark toes stained rusty red from the tawny dust, Aphid found herself questioning her choice of hunt locations more than once. Still, determined as ever the young woman was hot on the trail of something good, or so she believed.

Clambering up the steep rock-face, the maned lioness paused in a spot that proved a little more easy to breathe, gazing down into the ravine she steadied her balance just long enough to cast a beckoning call down-wind, seeking those who dared to conquer the rocky terrain.

Not a treck for the faint of heart indeed. That is why the stubborn girl had chosen to take it, albeit the fact her extra thick coat added more difficulty around the desert regions.

The gorge proved to have plenty of places she could train her strength. She'd chosen to push some bigger rocks around, until her muscles screamed in agony and she had to thirstily drink from the river that streaked across the territory. The call for a hunt caught her off-guard, but she quickly redirected towards it. She was not surprised to see the familiar lioness calling for it. Runa stood in wait for others to arrived, while using the time to sharpen her talons in silence. They would as much sharpness as possible.

It was harsh here but necessary. With the rest of Amaryllis nearing it's yearly dormancy, any plant life that could be found here in the desert was bound to still be thriving. As much as one could thrive in a desert anyway.
She searched for anything useful that she could take back home. Her collection of herbs wasn't extensive but slowly it was coming along. She was no healer by any means but she knew her way around a few plants. Things to help lionesses give birth and make cubs strong. Things she had learned from her mother. It took quite a bit of searching but eventually she found at least one plant that could be of use. Once she snagged it, ears perk to the familiar call.
Neytiri stashed her find before going and joining the hunting party. Greetings again. She chirped. At this rate you should join Ecrosia as one of our huntresses. She chuckled lightly. Nothing more than gentle conversation with an even gentler suggestion.

Each step came with a plea to a higher power that usually only Hekate prayed to, for a grace she only pretended to have. A few rocks crumbled underneath her red-stained paws and tumbled sharply into the ravine below. Ianthe tucked her herb satchel more closely against herself - she had spent a good amount of time digging those birthing herbs out of the stubborn ground , she was not going to lose them to a careless misstep.
And she didn't want to fall herself, of course, but she figured that went without saying.

The narrow pathway opens up slightly, enough that Ianthe is no longer asking for benediction. She sighs, relived to have made it, and then joins the small hunting party,
"Neytiri," she greets the fellow Ecrosia lioness. It was nice, to see a friendly face in such a hostile landscape.

she had been picking aloe vera by the dozens after she spotted them before she saw the others. there was quite a gathering happening of lionesses. olympia didn't want to become a distraction and intrude, but she was certain they might be waiting for a hunt to happen. just as it was, lorien plains were slowly getting diminishing supplies from within their food cache. wouldn't it be nice of olympia to re-stock some for her pride mates? then they could thank her for her work after they eat their fill. with that thought in mind, olympia swiveled her satchel to her side and joined the group with a pep in her step. ever the attentive medic, she lingered close to the land's plants, her sight caught on a desert dates. she closed her eyes but found herself peering at it with one eye.

Valeria had seen more of her siblings recently, saw how strong and capable they were. How they seemed to fit alongside their father, brough pride and honor to their family, and it made her feel ashamed for how little she had done. Of course she was still young, but she hadn’t even tried very hard to learn. Not like even Mateo had, and she felt a need to prove herself. That was what brought her close as others began to gather for a hunt. She’d helped with a hunt at home, had felt the rush of excitement at having been a part of such an amazing feat. She wanted to see how far she could ride that high, wanted to do her best to learn what she could and find her place not only in the Summit, but in the greater world around her.

Lune wasn't sure what drew her back to the dunes. Something about the burning red sand seemed to quiet all of the thoughts screaming inside her head. This time she was drawn further into its red depths, toying with gravity as she walked the rocky path. She remembered coming across aloe the last time she was in this region. So now as she pushed on, she wasn't quite sure what to expect. Her eyes travelled over the rocky terrain. Her brow arched at the unimpressive showing. There was not much in the way of flora as she surveyed the land.

Little puffs of pink flower stood out brightly. Lune gave into their pulsating call and sauntered away from the rocky ledge and on to more solid ground. The golden girl worked with a quick touch to snap off the branches. It looked like gambier. Boredom overtook her as she absentmindedly completed her collection. A soft breeze ruffled the flowers. Something, some smell caught her attention. Hmm smells like it could be something tasty. Lune tucked her spoils away and turned in the direction of the breeze. She paced forward for a little while seeking the smells only to see that she would joining a group of gathering lions, all interested it seemed in the same goal. A new hunt, a new chance to catch something delicious and original.

Every hunt seemed much less the same but the girl participated in it no less. Gravitating to the group with only the interest of getting some exercise in but the second she saw @Aphid, her heart pounded and her lips turned into a smile. Aphid! she whispered, not so quietly, as she moved passed a few of the hunters in a somewhat crouched position to situate herself close to her half-maned half-sister. Happy to see a familiar face and not all concerned with the how ya doin and what ya up to's. Clearly, her sister was doing fairly well for herself and was going to lead the hunt which was so cool. Perhaps if she wasn't supposed to be super quiet she might've screamed to everyone a big that's my sister!

The canyon was a beautiful sight.. Bright painted colors streaked down the sides, warmed by sun and witness to moon and stars. Dio sat near the wall, a mash of berry paint bring smeared in long strokes across the stone as she prayed. Maua, we thank you for the day and the night. We thank you for our family and food - speaking of, in the middle of her rite a hunting party begins to gather. Well usually results of prayer weren't so obvious and quick but Dio would take it.

Keep the hunters safe, may the death be painless. She concludes she shakes the extra paint from her paw before tracing the steps of others to join the party.

It was dangerous business trying to walk among the cliff ledges of the canyon. But he was a young lion full of unashamed confidence. Indestructible. Immortal. Not because he was that cocky, but because that was just the way the youth worked. Life was seemingly endless when you had no real responsibilities holding you back.
He moved as gracefully as one without any sort of practice could. Occasionally would he slipped and send loose rocks tumbling to the ground below. When he looked down to inspect the damage he had caused, he was rather embarrassed to find a group not far beneath him. Whoops. He muttered with flattened ears. Hopefully he hadn't just ruined anything for them. Vellen, hear me. Lift whatever bad luck I may have given them. Might as well right his wrong while he was at it.
Asbjørn climbed his way down to join what he could now see was a hunt. Bless us. Vellen. Let us crash down upon our pray like an angry wave. Vaguely he wondered if Vellen was even the right Deity to speak to. He was pretty far from any ocean after all.
