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!

Dinner at Sunset

The hours were getting away from him, but he was determined not to come back to the shore empty-handed. Even at this time of late afternoon, right on the cusp of sunset, the creatures of the prairie roamed, finding their preferred places of rest before it was officially time to settle. Krait moved among them quietly, a stalking, sandy shadow through the tall grass.

As he moved, when he felt certain nothing else could hear, he released soft little calls into the evening around him, invitations for those near to draw closer and join him. He was on the trail now, the smells causing his mouth to water in anticipation, but he wouldn’t make any moves until he had a little backup.

A leisurely stroll was being taken by Jiera. She had taken a break searching for herbs, something that seemed to be all consuming in her life. She had been a rogue for such a long time now, and with that came loneliness and routine. So, in order to break up the usual and mundane, she padded across the fields as the sun began to set. She thoroughly enjoyed seeing the colors of a sunset, a view she would never get tired of. Standing to watch, she heard a call for a hunting party, and after a couple moments of thought does the healer decide to join in. A meal wouldn't be too bad of a thing, dinner before bed would be nice. She follows the scent of prey, tantalizing and causing for her stomach to rumble; she hoped it would be as good as it smelled.

The sun was beginning to rise, and Leilani was already up and going. She had decided to get a little bit of exercise in, running at full speed for as long as she could before slowing down. Keeping her endurance up was something that would always help her with hunts, and so she ran back and forth on a trail several times until she was feeling a bit winded. Taking in deep inhales of breath before releasing it slowly to calm her breathing, the scent of prey catches her attention. She becomes alert, pink eyes scanning her surroundings. She takes note of some bushes that are adorned with purple flowers, and as she padded over toward them she would rub herself along them a few times to help conceal her scent.

Once satisfied, the woman would begin to follow the scent trail, soon coming across a couple of other lions that seemed to be gathered by the same scent. With a small smile does the huntress prepare herself, crouching low and waiting.

The fields were a great place for a hunt, and she hoped that despite the snow she might still be able to scavenge a few herbs. Most of the plants seemed to have already begun to frost over, becoming wilted or crushed under the weight of snowfall. She pushed the snow back where she saw green poking through, studying the plants to find ones that were still able to be harvested. She eventually found some usable monkey rope, a very versatile plant that a wide assortment of uses and she figured would be good to have on hand. She collected a small amount, ensuring she got both leaves and roots, before setting it aside to join the other hunters.

IANTHE
1 Y | No Bonuses

As the sun begins its decent to the horizon, Ianthe figures it's time to wrap up her work. She scoops up the last of the devil's claw and places them with the rest of their brethren in her satchel.
There's movement in the tall grass ahead, shuffling that she knows has nothing to do with the wind even from her periphery. The smell of lions is strong, and growing stronger with each newcomer. The cacophonous scent of various prides, or lack thereof, which Ianthe has come to associate with the start of a hunt.
Making sure her bag is fully closed, Ianthe moves through the open path in the grass to join them.

Khadija walked through the fields wishing to collect herbs for her own use, now that she lost yet another pride she wasnt able to make a new garden. Any and all hopes for her own stores evaporated. That forced the Abyss female to have to gather more and do so even in places she had been at before.

She studied the land's plants, looking for those she knew were to be used for healing and avoid the opposite spectrum of the herbal world. There she spotted big green leaves, it was a BASIL. Perfect for fever and more illiments. There she started to collect some fo it, for then placing the whole plants on her pouch. Maybe she could replant it later.

But then is when she saw lions on hunting mod. Maybe she could use an snack before continuing her quest. Saying nothing she joined the hunt.

Just when she suspected she might be going to bed with an empty stomach she is delivered a meal. Well not quite yet, but the surest shot she's had all day to try and get something at least. Lions gathered and she with them. Ever wandering eye, trying to spot prey in the distance, begins to find herbs and the like around her she's not noticed before and hasn't realized yet grew here. It's as exciting as the chance for food to the healer. She plucks a few sprigs and tucks them behind her ear. For luck and to remember to come back and gather more when she's had the chance to. Not like she could stop the whole hunt now just to gather up herbs and spices.

Amour's curiosity had only grown since Aeistrios had mentioned the neighboring terrains. She was beginning to realize just how vast this place was, there always seemed to be somewhere new to investigate or something different to do. She loved it, it was such a change of pace from her old home, her old life really. The day was winding down and she found herself among tall grasses, lowering herself so that she could maneuver through and remain undetected. Though she was a curious soul she didn't have any true intentions on a social call this evening. But she wouldn't mind snooping around, especially when there seemed to be a large group of individuals gathered up ahead. Amour would circle in closer but remain on the further outskirts of the fields, her one silver eye focused on the different bodies gathered. It looked like they were gathering for a hunt, and though she could have helped she preferred to stay back and observe. If anything to discover what hunting techniques would be most effective in these lands.

the fields are becoming a favorite - even with the blanket of snow covering the grasses and flowers, it's proving invaluable. herbs dot the landscape and the expanse of it offers more bounties than haven had previously expected. she's been exploring it as the evening sets in, skirting along the edges where the tall yellow grasses brush the base of the freyr peak - looking up at the rising mountain paths and dunes with interest. she's thinking, perhaps, she can find an easier ( less used ) way up the side of the mountain and gather a few mouthfuls of precious, untapped herbs. they were all in high need now, of course, with the winter settling in around their shoulders, but if she's quick and careful, she might find some unused resources.

that is, until the small hunting party begins gathering.

krait's call sends her to the ground, skittering through the grasses like a mouse caught in the sights of a snake. haven carefully finds a patch of snow, deeper than the rest, and manages to roll her thick fur in it, doing her best to dampen the scent of herself and the plains that clings to her coat. and she tucks herself amongst the bottom of the peaks where she can watch, pale grey coat helping her blend into the mix of snow and stone.
