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.

It was a small mercy that the thick overhead canopy diverted the majority of the rain in weird but sometimes helpful ways. It was already tricky enough navigating the jungle without it—the humid air, the sticky earth, the tangled web of undergrowth—but Krait was not going to be deterred. This was new, an entirely new region than what he was familiar with, and he was curious what it might offer to a hungry individual.

His grey eyes squinted slightly as the rainwater from above splashed against his speckled cheek, and he paused. The weather might have been washing away most of the surface smells within the rainforest, but one lingered, an opportunity the lion couldn’t pass up. Unfortunately, he was too near to call, but he hoped others might still be on the prowl and come following as well.

She wasn't too fond of the rain, and rain during winter was something she loathed entirely. But she were traveling from a clearing to find herbs back toward the den she had been living in for quite some time when the rain had begun. Even with thick fur, the cold was biting, and having more fur meant that the rain clung to her easier than others. She is almost to her den when she catches the scent of prey on the thick air, making her curious and her instincts kick in. A hunt to warm up her bones and feed her belly would do her some good. She prowls toward where the scent trail seemed to lead, coming across a lion she had seen at a couple other hunts before, and with a nod does she give him a silent greeting before attention was placed to scanning their surroundings.

A meal was exactly what Leilani was out searching for. It had been several days since her last good one, and she knew even in the rain she needed to go and search for something to bring down. What would make it easier, though, would be having help - and help she would find. Pink eyes lands upon a couple of other lions, having to narrow themselves slightly in order to block out most of the rain to ensure none blinded her. Her light colored mane was plastered to her neck and forehead, dripping droplets that splattered onto the ground. She gave them a nod of her head in silent greeting before dropping into a hunter's crouch, watching and waiting.

Paws carried Allure through the jungle once more, eyes always glued to the plant life around her even as she made her way to where the other lions were gathering for a hunt. She moved he way closer, stopping close to the other lions to study a crabwood tree. It had plenty of nuts on the tree, one of the low hanging branches just above her head seemed heavy, bowing a bit at the end under the weight. She reached up and carefully nipped off a segment of the branch, careful to not knock any of the nuts off before setting it at the base of the tree in a place where it was dry and sheltered from any prying eyes before moving off to join up with the hunters.

The atmosphere of the jungle has always felt thick, oppressive, but the rain just makes everything so much worse. Ianthe tries to dart between dry spots under the canopy, but that doesn't stop the humidity from sticking to her coat, and the vegetation slipping underneath her paws.
She'd already gotten what she came here for, and now, bag full of gnetum, Ianthe would like nothing more than to run back to her dry, cozy den, but the scent of prey grows stronger with each paw-step, and she knows there's the inevitable hunting group she's going to run into up ahead.
She's been in too many. Ianthe never wants to join another hunt again.
Sighing, the princess finally sees the promised hunt, and adds herself to the group anyway.

Winter had well and truly grasped Amaryllis, and yet The Jungle is spared much of it's wrath. Aphid was eager to join a hunt in familiar home territory, and is not suprised to find @Karsa here again. "Oh," she said with a furrowed brow, noting the minor wound on his shoulder she had recently treated required further attention, "Hang on."

Slipping quietly through the undergrowth, the young woman found a young Neem tree and harvested several leaves, as well as some African Ginger. Returning to the strawberry boy, she offered him the Ginger first, "Eat this. It will help." Assuming he did not argue, she would set about cleaning up his wound once more.

despite the bite of frost in the air, the jungle has not lost its leaves like some of the other territories of amaryllis. instead, the canopy is as thick as it had been before and still clinging to the warmth of the autumn sun. he too, had scented the prey animal that trampled through the undergrowth and with the smell of several lions hot on it's trail, the boy is posted up behind a tree and as hidden as possible as he watches the hunt with an eager eye. his shoulder still ached significantly after the accident on the mountain but it was good enough to move so karsa had come out anyway. at the soft "oh" that he hears, his blue eyes turn to land on the familiar form of @Aphid. however, she's gone before he can even greet her. as dutiful as ever, the patient follows behind his medic, looking up at the neem tree that they stop by at. the large tree spread out shorter and wide, with fat seeds weighing the branches down. it looked very distinct from the other towering and broad without even a pinecone or acorn to litter the floor with. if he just turned left here in the future, karsa would be back near where those prey animals were seemingly hanging out. "do these herbs grow here a lot?" he questions, licking first at the ginger offered and then eating the entire thing with a grimace. "i didn't think anything would grow closer to the ground... those leaves up there block out almost all the light." but maybe it had grown early on, stunted as other trees had shot up around it and blocked it out. "maybe i'll bring my aunt back here, she's always looking for this kind of stuff." karsa is careful to keep his voice low so that the animals weren't scared off.

The jungle houses many secrets. And Thisbe is knee deep in just some of them. Such a wide array of foliage grew and thrived here. It would be simple to spend all day and even night here indexing and memorizing their locations, gathering up only what she might immediately need so that is was easy to carry.

Unfortunately, to a slight degree at least, she is interrupted by lions gathering up for a hunt. Small jungle creatures grew restless over head, watching them with a careful gaze. Thisbe rose from her crouched position and maneuvered into natural position within the hunt ranks. Suppose a bit of good food would be a pick me up and let her stay out here even longer than she planned in the first place...

the jungle is vibrant and haven feels herself in awe of it. she recognizes much of it - the crabwood and the gnetum - but there's more she's never seen before, doesn't know the names of. but she carefully catalogues their scents and uses her claw to snip bits off to collect. she wraps them in a large leaf, careful not to ingest anything as she picks up a mouthful and continues on her merry way.

and, again - a hunting party.

they all hunker together in the thicket and she freezes, ears angling back as she watches. fighting the tick in her jaw muscle, the herbalist doubles back and launches herself up a tree, perching atop the group, to watch. she doesn't feel like interacting today - not with strangers. not with a mouthful of strange herbs that could be poison; how well would that go over?
