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!

September 26th, 2023 A series of pride challenges spark up across the peninsula, while warring families face-off as tensions reach their boiling points. Anthonius Savante barely manages to escape the clutches of Apollinaire Dieudonne with his life, while death looms over the broken truce between the Valour-Greyflood and Saxe families.

September 4th, 2023 After Tinúviel collapsed at the Wolfbron Bluff's challenge, she was unable to make it back to the Lagoon to take up her leadership position again and the pride disbands. Diomedeidae & Cirilla fight for the pride.

August 28th, 2023 Both Amara and Morrigan keep their prides. Lachesis doesn't show to defend the Brook and Renfri takes over. The Wolfbron Bluffs challenge seems to be setting off fireworks already.

August 15th, 2023 The two longest standing female leaders are both fighting for their prides once again. Anthonius challenges Amara for the Bluffs. Amaroq challenges Morrigan for the Summit. A new leader faces his first challenge as Renfri challenges Lachesis for the Brook. Did anyone think that peace was something the island was able to have?

August 1st, 2023 Conflict, drama, love, and loss - the lands are never free from any of it for more than a fleeting moment. As the summer months wane on and the season nears its end, there is no telling what is coming next upon the horizon.

June 19th, 2023 With the rains leaving and spring upon the island, things are heating up among the lions. Bruno seeks to unseat his father in the Mire. Helah looks to dethrone Scorpius in the Oasis and keep the fire between the Bluffs and the Oasis alive. The Plains have raided the Brook and allies on both sides showed up to help.

May 23rd, 2023 All is fair in love and war - moments of chaos and peace lull in a cyclical nature across the lands of Amaryllis, though most are wise enough to know that the quiet never lasts quite long enough.

April 20th, 2023 Alexander manages to win the Hollows and Tiamat keeps the Lagoon. Vághan challenges Amara for the Bluffs but Amara is able to hold off another challenger and keeps the Bluffs. The Cove was hit by a storm that washed away it's leader leaving the lands open to be claimed by Nephthys and Keligan who both are attached to the land. Cirilla attempts to take the Oasis from Scorpius who seems driven to keep the land.

April 5th, 2023 It doesn't take long for the dust to kick up as the Hollows is challenged for by Alexander once again and the Lagoon is challenged for by Fernweh.

March 31st, 2023 As wars and challenges continue to break out across the lands, Amaryllis is certainly keeping up with its turbulent reputation. One can only hope that the dust will settle soon enough - for everyone's sake.

March 10th, 2023 The turbulance of the prides never ceases for very long, as a violent landslide forces the members of Firnen Rainforest to evacuate and disband. Who will step up for the throne this time around?

March 1st, 2023 While Gauthier manages to retain control of Caladan Cove, Lorien Plains' fate is not so simple. With Aeistrios overthrowing Violarum and taking the pride's throne, how will things unravel from here?

Summer
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

One hunt couldn't possibly be enough, not when their numbers still swell both in those joining, as well as those being birthed into the pride. It meant that their adults required sustenance in order to keep themselves in prime condition to defend the pride.

Ludivine doesn't call for the pride this time, at least not audibly — but she prowls through the night instead, quiet to see if she can find something first. But her scent is heavy on the winds as she hunts, enough to perhaps beckon forth those that might wish to join their Queen in her kill. Eventually, there would be a most taboo meal to grace their reserves as well, once her children's teeth become capable of sinking into the flesh of their own kind. A smile — she's looking forward to it. But for now, sustenance must be something everyone can enjoy and feast upon.

There is no call this time to bid him from his patrol, but the moment he catches the note of her scent in the breeze he is moved from the borders to join her. He prowled through the underbrush in the quiet of the night, careful steps through the thick of the verdant groves and the slough of misplaced snow with eyes and ears kept alert. As their pride bustled with the coming of new life, the need for supplying the cache grew with it and he was intent to keep stores brim no matter the expense.

Gauthier watched the soft snow for the press of prints, keeping wary of the smell of what prey may find themselves wandering through the lush forest.

One of the last hunts that she had ever participated in- though participated was used in the loosest of terms- was with her mother and there was a stab of sad familiarity to that, when she felt the pull of a hunt- the scent of prey wafting by the tree she rested against... Yet, this hunt was not along the Lagoon's shores- was not with her mother. Was not... It wasn't the same, and she could no longer dwell on that. She had been resting for a few moments in between her nightly wandering- to explore the territory thoroughly in the shadows and darkness.

That scent of prey though? That musky warm, enticing scent...

She had risen silently to her feet, following the trail for a few moments before she thought she scented something familiar, and veered towards it. When through the shadows, she noted the scent became stronger of others, she was near silent with her soft chuff of greeting, and she would move along to position herself within the shadows- to do her best in helping them to bring it down.

She is sitting outside her den, staring up at the night sky when a scent hits her nose. Nostrils flare as the healer takes in several deep breaths, noting both predator and prey nearby. She shifts, slowly getting to all fours and giving herself a quick shake. The lioness begins to move, following the scent of prey as well as the one of Ludivine. It seemed as though another hunt would be underway, and Jiera wanted to be there to show she wasn't just a body taking up space and resources within the pride. She moves slow, cautious as she takes her steps, soon coming from behind her Queen but staying silent as she fell in step with the stalk.

Carina arrived to the hunt with quiet steps. Not wishing to alert the prey to her arrival but nor did she wish to interrupt her pride mates. So far she hadn't exactly gotten a chance to show her worth to her leaders (that's what you get when you joined a pride full of medics) but she could at least show up to the hunts and give them a reason to keep her (and Taraji). If it was one thing she prided herself on it was showing up for her pride when they needed an extra boost and a hunt was no different.

The scent of the beast was massive, and she'd kept following it- studying the strange musky scent. And the animal they had found, was massive- and had sharp curled horns. It was black or... dark brown, the shadows made it hard to tell and it was huge. She had found it daunting, but there was a lingering thing about it that felt off... and when her pride mates surrounded it- Taraji knew she couldn't back down. She swallowed her fear down, and threw herself into the hunt. She aimed to use her speed to help bring the beast down, and her teeth firmly latched into it's flesh. When it finally sank to the earth, she let it go and stood there beside the carcass- working to catch her breath, as she looked around at her pride mates. She felt exhilarated, and proud, and wondered what would happen now.

Taraji is hanging around for some interactions!

A beautiful catch zhere, Taraji. She called after the girl as she made to hustle close to the peach-colored girl. She would be reaching her second year very soon and would no longer be classified as a girl or a child, but an adult fresh unto the world. Carina came in close to her ward and aimed to give a gentle nudge of her head to the lioness' shoulder. Glee and gratitude coursing through her veins at seeing the girl take charge and build confidence in herself at a job well done. Every hit counted and the girl had certainly showed her might in this case.

Though the scent was not as familiar to him as gazelle or – may the gods forbid – flamingo, the hulking shadow of the horned beast was of an unwelcome recognition. Its massive bulk swung, its heavy skull taunting the onslaught of his pridemates, and he remembered the wretch that had emerged from the mists in Wolfbron. Though this was smaller by slight, he did not doubt that it was just as deadly with its bucking hooves and sharpened horns, and he was keen to not find himself in their piercing thrust again.

The lionesses charged - instigating its panic, its guttural defiance to lay down and die, and the one blessing he accepted for its danger was that it was not swift. A battering ram just as well, its muscles heaved and waded the thick green, no match for their cunning and claws.

Gauthier was not so unwise as to challenge its horns again; he lunged for its flank as it tossed and stomped, parading its regalia of lion-meat, and dug his teeth deep into its haunch. His claws wrapped into the bull’s hips, and his back feet dug in the dirt, acting as an anchor for the rest to make their kill. With great exhalations of frustration and the denial of death it floundered and swung, kicked, brayed, but was ultimately felled by their skills.

They would all have their fill without the worry of sharing tonight – and perhaps, for following nights. More than a meager meal, he took his scraps gleefully and appraised his hunting mates. Well done, all. But there was more work to be done. He sighed sharply, his eyes roving over what was left. Now we just have to drag the bastard off.

Without hesitation, and without the need for Gauthier's prompt, Carina was moving forward to help in the relocation of their mighty meal. Pushing herself into its core and helping to drag the beast back to their caches. With Taraji nearby it was likely the girl might help but Carina hoped that she would choose on her own to help with what came after every hunt. They would need to be vigilant in their help during these things and it was important to show your strength and your willingness to assist others within the pride that would take her much further. exit carina
