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.

@Alexander ♔ and @Neytiri have finally decided to become mates - or rather, Neytiri finally said yes. With it, they're having another litter! Their second only ever. It's been a long time coming, with their first litter only resulting in one cub, Dominic. This litter, however, is the opposite. Alexander has only had one large litter until this one, with a full litter of four. Only three will be available. They will, of course, be royalty when born as well! Naming conventions are Hungarian, Carpathian or African!

This is a custom litter, so if ya'll need any help paying for things, please let us know. We're happy to help! They are due on May 29th and we'll be picking players on May 25th. We'd like to see personalities, trade ideas, family dynamic ideas - including any with their big brother, Dominic! They will likely also be taking the Savante name unless otherwise stated - they're free to hyphenate as well with Moon-Savante! The following designs are available for use:

Disclaimer: It IS possible we will decide to go with less cubs! It depends on the amount of interest.

PIATRA SAVANTE


alternative names: izme or catalina
Trades: Master Pathfinder and Sub-Master Ambassador
Smell Like: Lilies & vanilla bean

Family Dynamics: Might compete for attention with her siblings but deep loyalty to her family overall; siblings born close in age would be viewed as an extension of her own litter; would probably suck up to older family members, for the purposes of being seen, involved, and learning. Strong (!!) preference to have her involved in a betrothal plot — it would fit her character to be able to push their family’s status in this way, if possible!
Appearance Summary: small build, slender, quick-footed, always prim & proper, warm features. grey pelt, global shading, global swirls, leucism, slightly longer claws.
Personality Summary: pursues attention; ambitious but doesn’t like to get her hands dirty; warm and extroverted; social butterfly; princess of the high court; devout; good listener; pragmatic; good-natured at her core but battles with selfish tendencies

m o o d b o a r d


likes: listening to stories, constellations, racing, gemstones, being given gifts, summer breezes, early mornings, thunderstorms, parties, order & routine, compliments, lilies
dislikes: heights, being ignored, fish, mud, laziness, swimming, complete silence, unnecessary cruelty, poor manners, crying in front of others





i look — Crafted in the image of her ancestry and swaddled in a mix of swirls, and ivory, and devout delicacies, there is no denying that she is a creature of beauty. The plush of her pelt is littered in an abstract design of charcoal and ebony spirals, broken up only by the decorative patches of cream that spill across her canvas – unrefined and yet seeming wholly intentional for the purposes of her design. Even as a child she is fair, with those wide, azureous eyes staring out at the world, with fluttering lashes and round, girlish features.

As she ages, jovial characteristics will smooth themselves out, lengthening as the druid grows in stature, albeit the fact that she will never measure up to to the heights of her larger kin. She takes pride in the fact, however, that she is fast, and lean, and agile, her reflexes sharp and her attention even sharper, still. Once cherub-like attributes will narrow, too, into slender cheeks and an up-tipped nose, with her lips – rosy and slim – often pitched into the leftover remnants of a smile. There is a rigidness to her posture, at times, perhaps from the overuse of rolled shoulders, prim comportment, and that perfectly-manicured pelt – but, alas, she continues on all the same, embodying a duchess, a lady, in all that she does and is.

i feel — likes to be dotted on, taken care of; socialite; dutiful & values honour; warm-spirited; vain; egotistical; likes to be liked; ladies don’t start fights but they will finish them; stubborn; can be judgmental to those that don’t fit into her perception/ideals; violence-adverse; coy and playful; goal-oriented; opportunistic; noble; status-oriented; prideful; there is a defiance in being a dreamer

Still considering...



Nala Savante
Agripina, Elena or Alexandra

°large
°Bard
°Erudite

° From a young age, the cub will show a heavy inclinationt to become a druid both of heart and behavior. The female will often times be found singing, making poems about what she sees, her likes and most importantly about nature, about animals and how the world around her moves. She will often feel heavily attracted to walk through the wilderness and study the creatures in there.

She respects nature as she thinks all life forms deserves protection and at a young age she will refuse to eat meat thinking it is wrong to eat others but perhaps as she grows she will mature on the matter but still feel hurt knowing she is eating another being.

In the other hand she will find interest in creating a cooperative or even friendly relationship with another creature. Let it be a bird or another and of things go well she will train or tame one of these , learning their language and then use this to make them to become her messengers or company. This ability will take her a while to figure out and then master but she will end up with an animal companion.

Her family is important as well. Always happy to collaborate in many aspects her family might seem important, willing to learn from other areas of expertise if needed.

Plans

She will take a druidish path where I am hopping for her to be a Bard who composes songs and poems about nature and other areas. She will also become a tamer who will hopefully learn how to befriend a bird or another creature to both obtain a friend and someone she can use as messenger or in other ways.

F a r k a s     S a v a n t e

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

— Spoken by Friar Laurence in Shakespeare’s ❝Romeo and Juliet❞




IV. The Emperor
- The Wolf -

Colossal - Extra Fluffy Fur - Slightly Longer Claws - Slightly Longer Fangs - Leucism
Alexander x Neytiri


Early years...
Rebellious - Lively - Handful - Doting

Born from bones which ache for exertion, Farkas will be nothing short of exhausting in his earlier years - "boys will be boys." It will take him ever too long to learn how to play nice, and how to be a gentleman. He yearns for the great outdoors, and will find great pleasure in escapades. I would love for him to connect with his older siblings in this stage of life; it would be fun for them to get up to antics together.

Despite his difficult nature, Farkas is the protective brother; he is nothing short of enamored with his siblings. To him, they are his world - his everything. There is nothing Farkas would not do to ensure their safety. He is their sword, their shield, their wolf. A deep sense of loyalty runs through his vein, and pumps throughout his body; to cross his siblings is to cross him personally.

Rebellious, Farkas will test the rules around him. Constantly, the boy will push those around him to their limits, yet he is not a bad boy at heart. Just a product of teenage rebellion and a thirst for the dramatics; Farkas, luckily, knows his limits. He will take great joy in mischief, and will seek to play games often. As he ages, this farce, too, shall pass, and he will slowly take on his father's personality.



A Glimpse into the future...

I would like for Farkas to carry a bird companion around with him; it would be symbolic of his growth in life, and, thus, would be present in his early years. It would most likely be a raven or any intelligent bird similar to that.

I'm planning for him to be a primary character, if I am chosen; I hope to play him often so that he may be able to grow organically - even in his early years !

Adding onto this, I'm planning for his development to be primarily through IC threading only, as opposed to OOC plots; however, if he becomes involved in anything such as a planned marriage or anything of the sorts, I would not be opposed - anything else please DM me first ( but I'll likely be fine with it ! )

Class will likely be anything Paladin oriented, and perhaps Pathfinder / Erudite / Ambassador ... ( TBD )

Véres Savante


Name: Véres (Bloody) Savante
Alternate names: Cintia (Goddess of the Moon), Csilla (star), Senna (brightness, technically from Arabic and not any suitable languages but I honestly love it as well and wanted to offer it in case you guys like it)
Voice (options):Alexstrasza
Jaina Proudmoore
Sindragosa

Appearance: Marking breakdown tbd
⊱ X-Fluffy
⊱ Slightly longer fangs
⊱ Leucism
⊱ Slightly longer claws
⊱ Pointed Ears
⊱ X-Small or Colossal
⊱ Very light blue or silver eyes

Appearance description:
⊱ (For X-Small) A delicate little thing, wrapped in red and ivory velvet. She's born the smallest, with the beautiful red coloring of her father and the beautiful swirls marking her mother's pelt. By a strange fluke of genetics, instead of softly rounded ears, hers appear slightly longer and pointed akin to domesticated felines. Though one might think "Maybe she'll grow bigger", she never will. Forever remaining a dainty creature. Regal and delicate as she grows into an adult, though beneath velvety long fur hide muscles, well honed through rigorous training.

⊱ (For Colossal) It all began with a tiny little thing. One they thought would never quite grow as others did. But oh how they were wrong. The delicate little princess is destined to grow, grow so much more than seemed possible. At first it wouldn't show. But growing into an adolescent, a growth spurt changes it all. The tiny girl won't be so tiny anymore. Adulthood will only bring more changes and what has once been delicate and soft will become an unstoppable force, big and strong.


Personality: She looks oh so sweet, every bit that dainty, delicate princess. And she can be. But beneath the sweet gentleness is something more. That more familiar childish curiosity is there, but interests are drawn towards less innocent things from an early age. She'll be a Queen one day and she knows it. From an early age she seeks to feed the flame she feels inside her soul, to not only prove herself a worthy Savante but to reach for more. She wants it all, everything. But she doesn't expect to be handed anything. If anything, she seeks to fight to earn her place, to earn everything she desires.


Potential Trades:
⊱ Assassin/Barbarian
⊱ Assassin/Ambassador
⊱ Assassin/Sleuth
⊱ Sleuth/Assassin

Thoughts for the future:
⊱ Admires both of her parents but is a bit of a daddy's girl
⊱ Likely to be polyamorous in the future, but will strongly prefer her first partner
⊱ Idolizes the Blood Mother and will seek her out more as she grows older to learn from her
⊱ Protective of her siblings, no matter if full or half
⊱ Extremely family-driven and fiercely loyal to their ideals
⊱ Will go to great lengths to ensure the safety and happiness of her family
⊱ Possible to lose herself in a blood frenzy if she sees family members being harmed or threatened, more evident as she grows older
⊱ Possibly interested in both males and females in the future, but will have no preference towards any gender
⊱ Possible interest in poisons and their effects
⊱ Collector of battle/Maim trophies and hunting trophies

✧ You and me is all we need. ✧

Timéa Moon-Savante


Name: Timéa Moon-Savante
Age: 0 months
Birthday: May Y12
Trades: Paladin + Ranger
Appearance: Colossal (from Christmas advent), extra fluffy, slightly longer claws, lightly longer fangs, leucism

Plum fur. Dark ear. Dark above eye. Dark tail. Face dot x2. Global shading. Global swirl.

Blue eyes.

Personality: If Alexander and Neytiri are looking for a less stressful child-raising experience, then-

yeah. They should absolutely look further.

From the moment she's born, it will seem like Timéa is set on making their life a living hell- first, it'll come in the form of being sickly and having a fate that seems up in the air for the first fe months of her life. During this stage, she'll seem like the calm type, having little energy to do anything and mostly just staying curled up or sleeping in the den, regardless of what her siblings are doing.

When she makes a comeback from it, the full force of her nature will be revealed. She's all bite and no bark (literally- she'll bite anything that moves) and will throw herself into anything that even vaguely interests her with the reckless abandon that shouldn't come from a cub that was sick just not that long before.

She'll also throw herself at her siblings- literally- and most of her childhood will be sent making up for lost time by bullying them or her own parents. Nobody is an exception from her wrath.

And wrath she has. Timéa will, more often than not, come off as being so angry, even when that's not the case. She's loud, and she doesn't care about sharing her thoughts, and, likely sooner rather than later due to her trouble-making nature, she'll wind up cursing like a sailor. All of these combined make her seem like she's one day away from blowing a fuse, but...it's not really the truth. Despite how she's like- or maybe because of it- she has the patience to go a mile. Of course, if you press her buttons, she's going to eventually snap, but that takes a lot more than what someone would think.

Timéa is confident in a way that borders on vain. Nobody is her, and nobody will ever be her, and it shows in her interactions. Her confidence bleeds into her being a bit too reckless and throwing herself into scenarios she shouldn't, and then getting away from those (maybe) only bleeds into her confidence. It's an endless cycle that will only stop when someone knocks her down a peg, and even then it won't last long. Even as an adult, she'll cling to this cycle.

She's also...just very cheerful. Not in the typical way- she's a bit too snarky and sarcastic for that- but more often than not she's in a good mood. Which is both a win and a loss, because that means she's just as likely to (playfully) bully her friends and family. Maybe more likely, actually.

At the end of the day, Timéa is very family and friend orientated. If they care enough to put up with her shenanigans, then she would take a killing blow for them- her love for anyone is almost like a fire, overwhelming and all-encompassing, and near impossible to put out. She'll come to them when they call, and she'll protect them when they need. In fact, a part of her likes the idea of being the one to protect others. Not that she'll ever admit it.

Plans: Very much open, but I like the idea of her being the lion equivalent of a polyam butch lesbian. So there's that?

Thank you all who applied for these special babies. After much deliberation, Drifty and I have chosen those who will be playing the babies. Congrats to @Squid, @Sunny ★ and @LilacxSorcery! We look forward to seeing Véres, Piatra and Farkas running about.

We appreciate the interest from everyone else as well! Hazel and Alex's litter is still being considered for anyone who would like to switch their gaze in that direction. <3
