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!

@Alexander ♔ and @Fissure have finally tied the knot after a lot of contemplation and dancing around each other, trying to figure out if there was more to their connection than lust. With a confession of love and devotion comes the blessing of children. As such, they are now expecting three children.

TWO of these will be up for adoption. One of which is a breed only lilac coloration. Moogle has decided to take the lilac cub!

Surname wise, they will likely take on the Savante names, beliefs and traditions until they are old enough to choose otherwise, but they are absolutely free to eventually take on the Crow name and traditions. This is also a CUSTOM litter, so all options below are available. We're also happy to help take care of any costs if needed.

  • Colossal Size
  • Medium Size
  • Black Base
  • Red Base
  • Black Eyes
  • Blue Eyes
  • 'Dragon' Tail*
  • Curly Mane*
    • Extra Fluffy
    • Slightly Longer Fangs
    • Slightly Longer Slaws
    • Melanistic*
    • Slitted Pupils
    • Leucism*
  • Global Spots*
    • Dark Mask
    • Light Mask Liner ( Tear Markings )*
    • Light Saddle
    • Light Dorsal
    • Dark Unders
    • Dark Tail
    • Darker Stockings
    • Dark Cap
    • Dark Blanket Shade
    • Dark Tail Shade
    • Dark Leg Shade
    • Light Under Tail

* Denotes a prominent marking we'd like to see in cubs.

We do not have any designs currently, but they are in the works, you're free to make your own! Naming conventions can be either Hungarian, Carpathian or Romanian, Fissure's family naming conventions are more open, but if you'd like to stick with having names that start with F, or that are the names of things that is also acceptable. We'd like to see the usual for the applications: Name, Trades, Family Dynamics, Goals, Ideas, etc. These cubs will also fall under the adoption clause, for those interested.

They will be due January 11th, and we will close out applications and pick on January 4th.

Free to use designs below:

★ FLORIN SAVANTE ★
Paladin & Ranger

LAWFUL NEUTRAL
Devoted ★ Responsible ★ Creative ★ Overprotective ★ Selfless

★ Loyal to his family and his kin, as well as The Mother. It will take a lot for that bond to be truly broken. He will stick to the tight-knit ways of the Savante and cherish those close to him.
★ Responsible and dutiful. He's not one to laze around and he wants to get things done. He likes training as well as hunting and providing for his family and friends. It makes him feel good to know that he is doing something and putting in his portion of the work that is needed so things may run smoothly.
★ Florin will be a creative individual, experimenting with different ways to do certain tasks, especially when it comes to ranger activities and working with animal carcasses. Often he will be seen tending to pelts, experimenting with meals like spicing up meat or making wine, and using bones and other flora as decorations or accessories.
★Overprotective of his kin. He wishes to be a protector for his family, throwing himself into battle to take agro so others can slip away if needed. This is where a deeper, darker seed will be planted. Bestial, feral, and bloodthirsty when something goes wrong or someone treats his kin poorly.
★ Selfless, always wanting to be there for those he adores. He will put everyone else first rather than focus on himself. This could cause possible issues later down the line and he may need to learn to care for himself more as well.

appearance
Mahogany Pelt ★ Pink Eyes
Colossal ★ 48 inches ★ 540 pounds ★ Average Build
Extra Fluffy Fur ★ Leucism
Global Spots ★ Global Dark Shading
Dark Mask ★ Dark Stockings ★ Dark Tail Shade ★ Dark Inner Ears
Smells of Cherries

ideas
Family Dynamics ★ The boy will grow close to his family, mostly the Savante side. He will remain extremely loyal to them and incredibly devoted to The Mother. He will hold Alexander in a rather high regard and want to grow up to be similar to him. For his family, he will be a sword, a shield, a provider, and a shoulder to cry on. Anything that they need, he will do it if asked. He will be an incredibly selfless boy when it comes to those he deeply cares about.
Goals ★ A boy deeply connected to nature, his family, and The Mother. At first, I want him to have a kind personality, loyal and friendly to his family and friends. However, once he begins to truly experience possible loss, war, significant problems, etc. I was thinking a darker side would begin to reveal itself. Overprotectiveness and loyalty to his kin, turning him into something more bestial. If given the command, he will rip and tear. Other than that, with his connection with nature and his ranger tendencies, Florin will often take care of pelts and food, a chef of some sort, spicing up his meals and making wine, as well as holding feasts if allowed. He may end up with some pelt accessories as he grows up and gift some to those he holds near and dear to his heart.

Aneska
lamb of god


empathetic · a little ditzy · independent · stubborn · reactive


Kind-hearted to the core, Daeira respects all that she comes across. She's truly interested in learning about the world and all the lions in it, and when faced with someone she doesn't yet know, she seeks to drink in everything she can about them... even if they aren't the nicest to her. Granted, of course, she's not going to be their doormat or punching bag, but she won't write them off immediately just because they're rude.

Often the girl with the plan, Daeira likes things done her way. The definition of 'trust me guys, its this way' in a nutshell, she'd be quick to make everyone doubt her logic by quickly changing direction on account of following the wrong scent initially. She can be a good friend and an even stronger ally, understanding not only those she works with, but those she has to work against. She’s a strategic prodigy in her mind, though she’s prone to make mistakes along the way. She makes a habit out of being 'half-right'.

Independent to the core, this doesn't mean that Daeira likes to be alone, though. She prefers to be surrounded by good company, talking and learning about others. What she likes being independent about though is working and fighting! She doesn't like to depend on others for things, and prefers to be resilient in her own right and be able to take care of things herself.

Granted, independence does come with some baggage. Namely, Daeira tends to be stubborn - stubborn as a mule - and she will fight tooth-and-nail for something she believes in. It takes a lot just to move or sway her because she looks at things from all angles.

And finally, her temper. Daeira can get frustrated rather easily, and this turns into fuel for the fire within. She can be reactive in delicate situations, especially if she's steadfast on her decision, and someone just keeps pushing. She isn't particularly quick to jump into fights - she is a lady and pretty ladies don't scrap. However, if the situation seems to be heading in that direction without an alternative, she isn't afraid.



Sex: Female
Build: Medium, Slender
Coat: Albino
Eyes: Pink
Markings: Spots, Socks, Saddle, Mask, Wisp Mark
Mutation(s): Curly Fur, Extra Fluffy, Slitted Eyes, Leucism, Albino

MISC
Trades: Pathfinder & Erudite
Family Dynamics:
- be protective of siblings, but super sweet to them, too
- be close with them (going on adventure + getting into trouble, etc.)
- will look up to parents and idolize them
- will be interested in parents' hobbies
- will be studious about Savante religion
Goals: NOT SURE HONESTLY; I would likely focus on building relationships with siblings + parents for the moment, and kinda seeing where she takes me!

Additional options
or

Benedek Savante
Ben for short

◈ Often finds himself lost deep in thought about anything and everything. The goings on of the pride, his family's well-being, the state of Amaryllis as a whole... even the little cave mouse running along under his paws

◈ He listens and observes much more than he talks. He has a very quiet demeanor, and when he does speak, it is often slow and with much care

◈ Has a warmth about him that feels very approachable. He is always open to discussing with others and providing them comfort

◈ He's mostly a big softy and absolutely loves to cuddle. Physical touch is a very important way of communication for him, though he knows when to respect others' wishes if they do not feel the same

◈ He's very curious about others and their stories and will gladly continue to ask questions to understand them as best he can

◈ He definitely does not carry the same ambition as others and is very willing to take a backseat and simply advise if asked upon. He knows that there are others more suited to take on leadership roles and he only wants what's best for the pride

◈ He loves very deeply. Everyone he meets means something to him and none are mere acquaintances in his mind.

◈ Physical force is a last resort. If an agreement can be met, it would be his first preference, but he would not hesitate to defend his loved ones if they were threatened or hurt

sex: male
build: colossal/brawny
coat: red
eyes: blue
markings: global spots, global mottling, dark saddle, dark cap, light tear marks, dark tail shade
mutations: leucism
other: curly mane (just need to make new lineart)

trades: erudite/paladin

family dynamics: Ben to me could be the listening ear that those in the family (or anyone in the pride by extension) can come to to unload or seek advice from if they desire. He’s incredibly supportive of others and their endeavors and will help in anyway he can. Often puts himself and his own needs last, especially when it comes to family.

goals: These are more long term after he’s more established. I think I would really like to put him through the wringer. He can be quite trusting, so a betrayal by someone very close might have him reevaluating how he see others. He may become guarded for awhile before opening back up. With how deep his love is for his family, him going through some losses (especially with the Savante fertility issues) may push him to navigate that grief and give him a new perspective on life that could be beneficial as council towards others. Maybe eventually have one litter way down the road if he finds the right mate. He’s not against small flings though.

Lăcrămioara - “Lilly of the valley” - Mio for short

-> Maned female (Alex’s glorious hair + curls)
-> Colossal (Slender giant)
-> Slitted pupils, vibrant pale blue eyes.
-> Dragon tail
-> Fluid in gender identify/androgynous

Trade paths: organic choice but these are possible: pathfinder, barb, bard, ranger

~ Personality ~

As a child:
-> Talkative, imaginative, an optimist, always down to throw hands or wrestle or anything their siblings want to do. Mischief seeker, paws that don’t stay in one place. Graceful.

Plot points:
-> Primary character
-> Trade exploration (I’d like to choose these a bit more organically), poly exploration, fertility issues, learning about family traditions from both sides and choosing which one to take, finding their own path to carve, toss them in a variety of situations to see what happens.

Dynamics
-> Family is treated with respect. They’ll do what they can to aid individual and family group goals. Will seek a close bond with their wisp siblings especially, but also their other ones around the same age. Will want to be close to their fathers and may be found following them around to observe. Will seek to know Alex’s other partners and let that grow into what it will on its own. The same goes for those important to Fissure.

Kinga Savante
Alternate names - Cintia, Nusa, Ravenna, Velvet
Female - Slender Medium Build - Black Pelt - Blue Eyes - Extra Fluffy - Leucistic - Longer Fangs/Claws - Slit Pupils
Cleric/Sleuth or Cleric/Medic
~ True Neutral ~
Dedicated ~ Perfectionist ~ Reverential ~ Poised ~ Enigmatic ~ Crafty ~ Silver-tongued ~ Judgmental ~ Extravagant ~ Moody ~ Unscrupulous ~ Vindictive

Detailed Personality:

At times, nature's power is a kind and noble gift, offering an unfaltering shelter to all those souls who cross her path, beckoning them into a warm, tender embrace. All life may flourish beneath the Mother's gentle gaze. And within the blink of an eye, it all may be destroyed by the flames of nature's vengeful wrath, a terrible force incredible enough to rent the fields and topple over mountains.

Is it so shocking then, that a girl woven from nature itself should so perfectly embody both extremes?

At a first glance, Kinga appears to be a sweet girl with an endearing smile, wreathed always in the enchanting perfume of baby blue petals. She carries herself elegantly, graceful in a way that is a whisker too calculated, too obsessive, to be natural, nary an inky curl out of place. For even at a young age, she understood that appearances are everything. An obsession that pushes her to become well-spoken at an early age, frustration simmering beneath the surface with each slip of her childish tongue. Cute, perhaps - yet a strange intensity burns behind reptilian eyes, her deep blue gaze all too piercing as she seeks to observe, to learn, to pass her judgement upon all she meets.

Who else should ascertain their true worth, if not her?

She lives her life on the knife's edge between spirituality and materialism, two worlds of black and white stitched together along a ragged seam. Kinga knows herself to be a jewel of the Savante, a daughter who deeply treasures her fathers and her greater family, endlessly fascinated by the mystical power of their shared blood, and eager to learn all she can of the beliefs and rituals tethering them to the Mother. After all, doesn't she herself have one of the closest ties? A blessed woman sculpted by the Mother's very own paws...yes, who else could possibly hope to know the earth's will better than her?

And yet.

The witch is just as much a Crow as she is a Savante, a creature easily enchanted by wealth and grandeur, torn always between seeing other people as fellow children of the earth or as mere pawns in a grand game. Everything has a price. Everyone can be offered a deal they cannot refuse. Within every heart lies an intriguing riddle for her to solve - What is it that you most desire? To know such an answer is to hold a key, for most doors can be unlocked with the whisper of a silver tongue or a dangled scrap of powerful knowledge, the embrace of warm flesh or the spatter of crimson upon the stones. Provided of course, that her time is worth the bargain.

Oh, but don't worry - Kinga's always had a fondness for pretty, useless baubles.

Notes on Family Dynamics & Goals:

- I imagine she'll pursue a close relationship with both of her fathers, captivated by Alexander and his teachings early on enough to develop a deep sense of loyalty towards the Savante and a clear reverence for the Mother. Though she's likely to consider Fissure the more 'fun' dad and the one who's behavior she tries to emulate most often, at least while she's growing up. Generally, she doesn't pick 'favorites' outside of whoever happened to spoil her more on any given day.

- Her natural affinity for the Gold Crows' ideals may end up clashing with her Savante ways in some ways while integrating with them with others, depending on IC development.

- Likely to be a bit closer with her own siblings than with Alexander's other children, though her own littermates are also likely to be the ones bearing the brunt of her short temper most often. Still, she cares for her family in her own way, offering them gifts and a listening ear where she can, seeing them as the only ones worthy of receiving her aid free of charge. Whenever she's not busy arguing with the other cubs over who found the shiniest rock, that is.

- Being fascinated by the Mother early on, one of Kinga's major goals is to become a skilled and respected cleric amongst the Savante (spurred on by a healthy admiration of Camellia, naturally). She seeks both the power and the security within her religion that material treasures can't quite offer her - though she adores riches all the same. Thus, she will likely find ways to 'market' her talents outside of the Savante as well, offering fortunes and healing tonics for a fair price, amongst other things.

- Casually polyamorous, though she will struggle with identifying the distinction between love and lust as she grows older.

- Though I plan to allow Kinga to develop naturally ICly, I do imagine she holds potential for some darker plots as she grows older, and has the bitter realization that she's also afflicted with fertility issues. Her charming snake-oil saleswoman persona may slowly shift to become more similar to an alluring witch who will grant wishes and curses for increasingly more extreme prices - claiming either offerings of blood for her own rituals, or the bargainer's own child to then be raised as her own.

You all made it VERY hard to choose just two. Every app was wonderful and I enjoyed reading what everyone came up with. @scorpixia, @Mara, @Dawn, @Hinter, @muuland ★, @Zay - I appreciate ya'lls interest and applying in these babies. There will more than likely be more litters going forward!

After much deliberation @AbjectTerrier and @Sammiie have been chosen to play Kinga and Daeira! Congratulations. Let us know if you need anything or any help with anything. :)
