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.

Trade Task Hunt Clear Day Spring
  Quote     |   #1
It was time to come together for another hunt. The pride was well cared for, but the cache could always use more and he hadn't been able to participate in many hunts as of late. Due to his leg. Now? He was better, or getting better and the Savante wanted to participate again. It was imperative that he be apart of all this - what kind of leader if he wasn't?

He saunters along the outer edges of the territory, head low and body prepared to bolt should he spot the right prey. Pale eyes are alert, ears perk atop his skull. Catching the scent of something, Alexander begins to stalk it - quiet in his steps and his stride. A low chuff is sent out to his pride members; careful not to alert their prospective prey.

From the second that she heard Alexander call the pride as he had found something worth hunting, Juliette had made quick work to halt her own plans and move towards him. Casually strolling through the tunnels at a brisk pace until she found him as well as locked eyes to the target. A big had found their tunnels, it seemed, and while she could not see, hear nor smell any of the other Hollow lions present and accounted for she was unbelievably confident that should no one show that they could manage this themselves. Both of them were apt and capable, she imagined.

It was reassuring to hear Alexander's call for hunters. It was such a familiar voice and sounding stronger as well; he had to be nearly fully recovered. Thella couldn’t see him—and was that Juliette she smelled?—but she could hear their efforts echoing off the walls as well as… the pig's? Yes, definitely a pig. It was just as smelly as it was loud, she noted with a scrunch of her nose. She doubted it would give them too much trouble, knowing full well they didn’t even need her help, but she figured it wouldn’t hurt just in case.

She wound her way quickly through the tunnels, intent on blocking the pig’s path and forcing it to turn back into her leaders' waiting jaws.

(This post was last modified: 05-27-2024, 08:39 AM by Grigore. Edited 1 time in total.)
Grigore had heard in his youth that Savante warriors once hunted in packs or great processions, crashing their way through their empire without fear of what lurked in the shadows. He had clung to those stories as a boy, as if those ancient hunters would find him and lift him out of the nightmare he had been left in.

They never did come for him. After a while, he began to believe that the stories he had been told were nothing more than white lies made to get him to sleep through the night.

But now, as he crouched among the semi-circle his pride-mates had made around their prey, Grigore could see the ancient hunters he had waited for in each of their stances. In the way the jostled together, the way they flanked their king. Grigore almost cracked a smile at the thought as he surged forward, marking his own entry in the royal procession.

Cosmin was most certainly late into the running but as soon as he dove into the hunt, he was all-in as though he had been there from the start. Moving in as quickly as he could and taking a few snapping bites at the legs of their prey. Making a deep noise in his throat as he pivoted to his right and then back, trying to get to the other side of their prey and going for a different leg. Doing everything he could to make an appealing hit (at least one) for the pride so that he could show that he might've been late but he could still pack a punch!

Juliette waited a few extra moments after Cosmin had wounded where he could and wondered if others were holding their punches too in lieu of someone else wanting to participate. It seemed like ages that she had to wait but really less than a minute before deciding they needed to end this before it got away entirely. Juliette surged forward and made due with what they were given, lunging towards their beast and extending her claws outwards to its flank and attempting to get the last shot in so that they could subdue the beast and be rewarded now and in the near future.

Thella smiled as they were joined by a couple more, for one such hunter was none other than her—as decided by her, whether he felt the same or not—best friend. The other, she had never met. He must be new. There weren’t many faces of the pride she didn’t at least recognize, even if they had not spoken; various meetings and hunts like these allowed her that. So, it was always exciting to see a new face. She gave them both a quick greeting before finishing their task.

As it met its end, she sat off to the side and waited patiently for others to finish; she wasn’t much on pig—and this one was extra smelly and off-putting—but would gladly help take it back to the caches in exchange for something else already stored there.

The pig didn't have much of a chance. In truth, even with their small party - despite it's size, they were able to take it down with the team work they'd come to perfect over time. Alexander was proud of them all, and soon enough - with a bit of muscle work, the beast was downed and they were able to enjoy themselves immensely. Anything left over, the Savante would cut into smaller pieces to drag back home to the cache. While they were likely not lacking for anything right now, it was always smart to have extra just in case.

With a few of the others having taken their leave, it left Juliette to take a few bites of her own portion. Not usually one to partake in feasting in front of others after a hunt but today was different and she was hungrier than usual. Politely taking a few bites before lifting what she could of their downed prey and escorting it to one of their many caches. She doubted anyone cared to which one it went to so long as it wasn't overflowing or had already gone bad. Juliette was at least smart enough to know to not store fresh food with stuff that wasn't good anymore. exit juliette

The lot of lions that had gathered had surely done what they came to do and their prey went down with ease. Cosmin felt his heart and lungs working to settle his adrenaline down and while it still pumped, he made to swoop forward and take a large bite out of it. A rumble deep in his throat emerged as he swallowed, addressing how thankful he was for the victory and the nice little meal. Only when the others began to fan out did Cosmin move to attempt to help. He didn't think he would be of much help but truth was, he'd be better at being the brawn to carry it than the speed to help take it down usually. exit cosmin
