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 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 red lioness seemed to finally relent in her attack, perhaps realizing what little threat the pastel girl presented to herself and the Mire. Bordeaux would remain crouched low to the ground, ears down, tail low. Bordeaux would recoil a few paces as @Astarte kicked sand in her face, telling her to get out of Ecrosia. She would be happy to oblige, but she was needed here still. Instead of leaving completely, she would slink away out of line of sight of the lioness.

She would watch from a secluded place amidst some vegetation for a time, watching @Luther ♔ fight against his brother for the crown of Ecrosia. She was happy that she had since left that pride behind.. that her mother had gone from it as well, what tether the lion had on her now removed. The thought of tending to his injuries left a sick feeling in her stomach, as if touching him may somehow end in renewed entrapment. She would never get the opportunity, as the pale beast was defeated and looking to make a swift retreat. She was both pleased at his failure and saddened for the Band, who no longer stood to benefit from employment with him. Hopefully, all of them would be able to get out unscathed.

Perhaps it was time now for her to leave, but she could not go without her medicine bag. It was not because the herbs were valuable, or that she could not get a new one. The bag was a gift from her mother, the only thing she yet had of her childhood, of a happy memory shared with her beloved mother. Unfortunately, as she carefully went back to collect it, making sure @Astarte didn't see her, another would notice her. She would freeze in place as @Violarum looked in her direction, making a motion of his head. He would seek to steal her out of Andal? She would grip her bag close to her, uncertain of what she should do. Should she attempt to leave? Should she stay and see who might come to prevent it?

Before she could decide, she would hear @Aeistrios's unsettling laughter, enough to make one's skin crawl. He had lost his fight and suffered a horrible maim for it, yet he had only laughed at the outcome. He would turn from his opponent to defend the claim, though not before @Kian had stepped in to defend her as well on behalf of the band. She had worried they might not think of her as one of their own after she had left, however briefly. It pleased her to know they still counted her among the flock.

As he presumed, she was indeed paying attention. Unfortunately it was not complete wariness that bound her here, but an apparent lack of a target. There was a gleam in her eye as she realized his intention and his heart twisted two ways. He loved a fight, but he didn't like not getting his own way. He'd told her to run! "Oh, come ooonnnn!" he growled low and resigned, his ears gluing back even harder in anticipation of a return bite. Which ended up not coming because someone stinking of the Mire @Livyatan came rushing in to help, distracting her by what Aurochs could tell was a hard and deliberate bite to her other arm. She tugged against Aurochs' jaws and the colossal male dropped his grip, but the flare of his nostrils was angry rather than apologetic. Now look what she'd gotten them into.

"Where's the spicy bitches when I want spicy bitches, huh?" This was an unlucky day for him and he was going to make it her problem. He'd already made it her problem by targeting her in the first place but now it was even more her problem. Seeing how she'd focused on the Mire lion to her right, Aurochs tried to bite into the left side of her scruff. He also tried to adjust his hindquarters out of her way, re-establishing his balance and waving his tail. Man had to regain some poise after this incident.

He hadn’t known what it was that he was walking into, or that he wasn’t supposed to be doing it. When the older girl came over to warn him, he could only give a nod of understanding. It was dangerous. The concept was still a bit vague to him, blurry and uncertain, but he knew well enough to realize that he shouldn’t draw attention to himself. As his brothers came, he glanced to them, briefly, but his attention wasn’t fully wrestled away from the conflict until an older brother, and his mother, came to scold them. At @Naril’s sharp reprimand, his ears folded back against his head, feeling confused and a little guilty. Without a word, he turned and began to march back off towards the den, only mildly disappointed he wouldn’t get to see the full conclusion of whatever was going on.

The chaos unfolds- no, it erupts. She doesn't understand what the cause of all the nonsense is, but she knows in her heart that Aeistrios may not be on the winning side. The Miroslav swallows, heart hammering against her chest, as she weighs the pros and cons of remaining in a pride where her children would not be safe- even if she were to find them with his help. Septima doesn't know if Renfri and his daughter have begun to search and she feels uncomfortable about everything to say the least. Maybe she should make her exit while she still could..

But then a woman is flying towards her and striking her across the face, lacerating her cheek and bringing blood to well at the surface. "Let me go and I will," Septima replies, her voice more heartbroken than anything as she turns to try and flee the lioness' assault. "I don't want to fight you, I just want my daughter!"

Bruno sank ivory fangs into the sleek furs of her neck, undeterred by her change in positioning as flesh was flesh. He hoped it hurt. He hoped he had struck out every shimmer of mad glee in the welp's eyes as she had torn into that which was his – that he could strike the event off of the record simply by striking her.

She slashed white-hot agony across his left eye, only the folding bunches of his eyelid saving the fragile organ from being plucked straight out. Bruno angled his head slightly to his left, lunging once more in an attempt to bite at the girl's throat to also try and tear his face free of her claws. He jutted one shoulder forward and attempted to knock it into hers to try and throw her off balance.

As chaos erupted and blood was shed upon the ground, Narsil felt uneasy. This wasn't a war with a clear side of who was fighting who, this was just... pent up hormones that overloaded and were spilling over. This was not something she would draw blood for. Ears pinning back she watched her children leave with Pompeii, and then someone approached (@Karsa). Automatically she became defensive, shoulders rounding and she snarled only to pause at his words. "Make yourself useful by making sure no one follows." she said after a moment studying the teenager, if he was older she would say a more flirtatious line but decided against it. Turning with a final glance to Livyatan who had charged forward, she would move to join her departing children. They would come before any pride. And a blood fued was not worth their lives being altered.

Vesemir winced at the sharp hiss of their mothers tongue, he turned to look up at her almost defaintly before he got distracted at the idea of gifts. It was clear the idea not only enthralled him but @Banazir too! and he turned to watch his brother race off. Then he saw @Nkosi parting and so with a mad dash he raced after his brother attempting a playful nip to his rear end. "'Kozi! hurry!" he encouraged his brother with a quiet little whoop before he tumbled over himself trying to get to the den as fast as possible. What had mother brought them this time!?

Pompeii spun when he heard his mother snarl, and he felt himself become a shield for his younger brothers. He flexed his smaller form to try and look as big as possible which was kinda hard for him. But while he was ready to launch, Narsil had calmed, and so Pompeii would slowly let his guard down as well. Although a scowl of distrust and dislike crossed his facial features while he turned to urge his siblings forward. Narsil would be able to handle a teenager, and if he got in the way and made things worse then he would be the one to suffer for it. So with a encouraging nudge sent to Vesemir he followed them. He was relieved that they were young enough to obey and listen rather than whine and complain. And with a flick of his mixed color tail he was gone in the bushline with them.

Size difference was never a deterrent for the Tollaire lion, he knew if you bit in the right places then one would eventually succumb to their knees. She twists to face him, and he snarls attempting to lift the paw she is seeking to attempt to slap her across the face with it. Claws out and hooked to slice into any flesh along the way, he grunted as this would leave his wrist exposed. But if the other male could tug her down... then it would go smooth as blood down his throat. Speaking of. His jaws snapped forward trying to seize the top part of her ear, attempting a grip upon so he could shake his head violently. Shoulders rolled and his body kept aligned as best he could with three limbs, his eyes narrowed while his ears were pinned back in his mane.

He continues to battle alongside his siblings - torn at the fact he can't watch them as they engage in such antics. He'd rather see what blood they drew, too, but he had to settle for focusing on his own feats first. His lashing paw struck the woman (Ciara) and sharp talons drew away some blood from her. He smirks in obvious triumph, excitement twinkling in his gaze - that was until she smacked out at his hip and pushed him off his balance. A growl, and Refieron attempts to launch himself at her now, feeling angered that she had been able to knock him away from his first target - how dare she!
