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!

SYMPHONY FOR THE DEPARTED

Once upon a time, a god was ripped to pieces and placed within four boys: the brothers Bjorn. The Heart, the Eyes, the Lung and the Hands. The priestesses that cursed the god were, in the end, made sacrifice for it - and the brothers fled from their bloody tomb with four shield-maidens in tow. Sheol and Faolán are the two that remain. From days spent in the captivity of the brothers hungry claws to nights wrapped in one another. Their relationship flourished from sisters-in-arms to something deeper, something undeniable. Their love grew - grows - stronger with each passing day.

Draven and Sheol have always had a tumultuous relationship that is often equal parts hate and affection. He nearly died at her hand, once, and neither have ever forgotten it. An undercurrent of danger lingers over their every interaction.

Faolán has all but tamed Draven, wrapping that red, red thread so tightly round his throat. She tugs and he heels - or so they all think. She wields her femininity like a weapon and the brothers Bjorn fell in line.

two of three available


Sheol is having one cub who is taken by Bunny. She is currently Andal Oasis Prisoner so definitely some Juicy Shit going on.

To add some additional information on Draven and how he may react to this:

Draven has long suffered nightmares, due to the split soul of the God he harbours. He has a close affinity with a flock of ravens, and believes himself to be able to “see” through their eyes in moments of deep meditation, so to speak.

With the development of his relationships with the maidens Draven has fought more intensely for control against Bjorn, essentially serving as two unique identities in one body. One the vicious and blood thirsty god and the other the lonely orphan boy who only ever wanted to belong.

It is Draven’s belief (and thus life-long intended purpose) that reproducing will “free” him from Bjorn and the gory nightmares/memories that haunt his evening hours.

I am unsure of the direction I will take him after the cubs are born — there is the potential of deep mistrust/hatred if he believes that Bjorn now lives within the offspring. Or, possibly, resentment if his struggles and nightmares continue despite having done his duty. There is unlikely to be any true love, and if there is it will be in fleeting moments.

It may develop over time depending on if Draven finds peace and contentment or if he spirals in to madness. In any case, much fun to be had!

EDIT:
In addition to the above there is the ability for adopters to write the child as if they are Bjorn reborn, as this is what Draven/the brothers always believed would happen.

I'M A SLUT FOR BJORN



Lilja Bjorn
Sheol x Draven x Faolan
back-up design


NOTE: OK SO I designed this with all three of them in mind before I read the tidbit about you guys wanting at least one of each pair >.> SO, if I'm picked and you want me to adjust / edit this, I'm open to it!



GENTLE x HAUNTED x HUNGRY (for?) x SWEET x INNOCENT


A gentle, sweet child that is tainted by the curse of Bjorn. At first, she probably won't notice it; the god would likely groom her into trusting the dark voice in her head, but as she gets older, she might experience blackout episodes where she comes to in a place she doesn't recognize, or remember going to. Sometimes she's amidst carnage, sometimes she's wearing their blood, and most of the time, she doesn't remember a thing.

Perhaps if her parents watch her with a careful eye, she will promise them that she's just fine - while under Bjorn's careful orchestrations. Sometimes fragments of memories come back to her at the worst times, and sometimes she gets so caught up in them that all she can do is lose herself. Sometimes that involves just sitting quiet, kind of dazed; and other times, its inconsolable sobbing. It's clear to see that she is often troubled, but by what or who is anyone's guess.

Lilja is deeply ashamed of her secrets and would do everything in her power to keep them just so: secrets. Bjorn will make her do many wild things in the woods as she grows into her body, unknowingly allowing him more and more control because she just thinks its her conscious speaking back to her (or some little, similar naive thing).

Lilja seeks love where it is given, and her weakness is that she loves to feel wanted or needed. She will likely throw herself at anyone's feet that need the help, offering her assistance at any little task. Any boy (or girl?) that shows her an eye of interest is likely to pique hers as well, but only in the most innocent, school-girl kind of ways.

Synopsis: an innocent young girl hiding a dark secret.



Build: Extra Small, Petite
Markings: Mask, Pants (inc. tail), Dark Ears, Light Unders, Light Neck, Light Toes, Under Eyes, Light Tail Tips
Mutation(s): Polycaudal, Thick Tail, Extra Fluffy

MISC
Alternative Names: Kirsi
Trades: Sleuth & Medic
Plot Ideas:
- someone to tell Lilja she's broken at a young age so that she never mentions her blackouts to her parents
- will be ashamed at what she does in the woods, likely growing into a fear later in life (knowing she has blackouts and cant stop them)
- might add more

Inna
Other options: Joen, Delwyn

Faolán x Draven



Stats
Male
Colossal - Brawny

Trades
Assassin
Cleric

Alignment
Lawful Evil
Green PVP



Physical Description

Markings (will double check): Grey base*, global dark striping, dark pants, dark tail, dark front socks, dark mask, maneless male, extra fluffy, full het (red/silver)

*I can adjust this to match more merle if chosen

Despite his colossal frame, he carries himself on silent pawsteps.

Personality

Reserved - Ambitious - Disciplined - Loyal (to Bjorn)

Inna is one who will stick to the shadows—stick to the role that he's been given—until it's time for his rise. He bears incredible patience as he waits for the right moment and this patience translates into the reserved demeanor he carries throughout all of the interactions of the day-to-day. He does not act until he has thought through the situation, but don't think he hasn't already considered many scenarios before they ever happen. His mind is constantly focused on the future and how his long term plans and goals might end up and the steps he needs to take to get there.

He is steadfastly disciplined and is very self-controlled. When duty calls, he will strike (and HARD) but he understands when he must hold back; violence is not his first instinct. But when it IS time, he is a relentless force that cannot be stopped. He cares not for anyone who stands in the way of his duty and will even set aside his own ambitions for those of Bjorn.

Goals/Ideas
The hitman

Thinking after his first birthday, he finds that he's inherited Draven's visions, though they only come in puzzling bursts at first. Different faces. Faces he doesn't know but that he never forgets. (possible future hit list, lol)

Maybe as he ages, different parts of Bjorn begin to emerge on each birthday, and parts of himself are lost, until all four have combined and he becomes Bjorn once again?

M o r w e n n a     B j o r n

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet muskroses, and with eglantine.

— Spoken by Oberon in Shakespeare’s ❝A Midsummer Night’s Dream❞




VII. The Chariot

Colossal - Extra Fluffy Fur - Slightly Longer Claws
Draven x Faolán

Despite her gigantic proportions, Morwenna is a nymph of the night. She is all parts grace, yet so full of her mother’s fire - persistent and bold. She is extremely observant of those around her, but she tends to keep the observances she makes to herself. Always storing information, and always trying to get the upper-hand on those around her. Morwenna is meticulous; this is only shown in the way she acts around others.

It is likely she will strive hard to keep this composure. Always, she wears a mask of calm. Even in situations where most would be prone to fright, she holds her façade. To Morwenna, there is no time to waste on trivial issues most do. Every waking moment to her matters, for she wishes to waste no bit of her life. This may be easily read by others as unnerving, and has the potential to lead to issues later on down the line.

She is cold and calculating - always seeing things on the logistical side. However, she is not incapable of emotion, nor is she weary of companionship. Morwenna has the capabilities of forming enough of a bond with another to ensure a mate, yet it all falls on them to be aware. They must know of her demeanor, and they must crave it. She is extremely meticulous about those whom she chooses to give herself to - both platonically and romantically. It is a feat in it of itself to get close to Morwenna, yet it is not outright impossible. To those she knows well, she is still as shunning as she is to a stranger. However, there is moments in time when her true feelings shine through.

A glimpse of the future…

Trade: TBD. Likely Sleuth / Erudite / Assassin / Ambassador…Something related to her demeanor

I think it would be really interesting if she only spoke in rhymes or referred to herself in third person. But, if that’s a bit too far out let me know ! Don’t mind scrapping that idea
