December 13, 2024 After winning the challenge for Wolfbron Bluffs and becoming the fourth Dieudonné to hold the crown, Lazare releases all the members and ends the longest standing pride's reign over the island. After seven years of the Bluffs being held by the same family, it now sits empty, waiting for the next chapter of it's leadership.

December 6, 2024 Death came to a witch hunter after she called for the death of Karsa, with Kvare answering it causing Miaran to fall. Lazare Dieudonné challenges Louve Dieudonné for Wolfbron Bluffs. Snow seems to be falling in the middle of the summer as strange animals show up and offer a tempting meal for those brave enough to jump in.

November 8, 2024 Scorpius has gone missing and in his place Zaahir steps up to take the throne of Andal Oasis. How this change of leadership will shake things up in the lands, only time will tell.

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!

The idea of him staying down lower wasn’t a bad one. Given time he could build up the strength and grace to reach the final level by himself. After all if he had fallen off that would have hurt. Not to mention he could possibly break something on the way down. He very much liked being alive.

"No problem I have smart ideas every once in a while." He smiled proudly while also implying he had bad ideas as well, but that was just normal behavior.

Head nodding to her he agreed with her statement. "Yes good point about that wouldn’t want to beck my neck."

A smile formed on her dark features, Aphrodite would glance towards @Milano before going back to the view of the Cove. It was also peaceful here and Aphrodite found herself sighing as if the weight had been lifted from her shoulders for a brief moment. Her violet jewels closed as she breathed in the salt sea air. Thank you for pointing this space out to me. She would state once again before opening up her eyes and glancing towards Milano once again. Let's get down and get you settled into the pride, hm? She would muse at him while waiting for him to move since he was kind of blocking her. I wouldn't want you to break anything on your first day or any day after this. She would tease him.

It really was nice up here and he was glad he spotted it and even more glad @Aphrodite ♔ hadn’t just brushed him off when he had made the comment. As she said something about getting down he nodded his head. Standing he shifted and leaped down from ledge to ledge. Getting down was easier. "Getting down is just falling with style." He teased partly to her but mostly to himself as he lands back on the ground. Moving out of her way he stood to the side looking upwards towards where they had been to see if she could see her from down here and the answer was no not really. Not unless he stepped way far back.

It didn't take very long before @Milano moved and Aphrodite would wait until he was completely done on the solid ground before she began the journey downward. Bunching up her legs at the joints before she would lunge for the ledge below her. Feeling her legs and muscles strain but she knew this was good for them. To exercise them in a way she doesn't normally do. Moving to the edge she would do the same move towards the ledge below, muscles straining again before she landed on the ground with a graceful thud. Milano's words hit her ear drums and she would chuckle at him. Well don't stumble in style either. She would tease him right back before stretching out her legs. Alrighty, want to head deeper into the territory to find you a proper den?

Stretching his back as he waited for @Aphrodite ♔ to return to firm ground he looked around them. Blue eyes spotting some birds nearby and he watched them before stepping forward quietly. They wouldn’t have made even good snacks but he could still give chase. So bolting after them he ran like he was in a race. Practicing his speed in short bursts before jumping up and snapping his jaws at one. It squawked but got mostly away. In his jaws when he found his paws was two grey feathers.

Looking at the lady with a proud smile as she suggested they go farther into the cove so he could get settled he nodded his head. "Sounds great to me." He mumbled trying not to lose the feathers.

She didn't dare move whenever she had gotten to the ground and made her suggestion. In fact, Aphrodite didn't move because @Milano began to chase after some birds and he nearly got one but it got away, causing the ebony Queen to chuckle at his failed attempt. But he was proud as he turned at her with feathers in his lips. Shaking her head at him, Aphrodite would begin to move further into the territory. It was best that he did know where everything would be. Soon they traveled through a cluster of trees before coming to a big area with a boulder, a place that Miaran had rested while they had their first meeting together. This is where we hold any meetings or events. She would explain to him, stopping just enough to let him look around before going back through some palm trees and onto the beach itself where she stopped.

It would have been nice if he had been able to get her a snack but the feathers were just fine as well. He had noticed that she hadn’t tried to distract him or the birds when he had tried to take one down. When settled in he’d just have to go hunting for something else. Something bigger maybe a nice gazelle or a pig more on the smaller size. For now though he followed @Aphrodid. Eyes scanned the spot she had taken him too. "Meetings good to know. Is it used for anything else? Might make a good gathering spot before hunts." He mused. Meeting somewhere then moving as a group to stay downwind together did have its pros and cons. He was mostly thinking out loud about things though.

She would wait on the beach for @Milano to join her and when he did she would glance over towards him and answer his question. It can be used for many things. Training events, hunting events. It could be used for many things but right now it had only been used for meetings. But the idea of future meetings would be great currently. Ears twisting on top of her head as she'd turn her gaze towards the mountain side that resided closer to the beach. There are some spots along the mountain side that you can make a den if you don't want to make it inside the territory itself. Mine is closer to the borders. Not many knew that though.

Nodding his head like some type of bobble head doll he noted her words as he followed behind out onto the beach. "looks like a nice place to work on my tan." He cooed. Not like he was going to burn or anything. Or tan for that matter. But this area seemed very peaceful and relaxing. Ears twitching as she spoke about dens. Thinking he would take his time to think about it. "Perhaps I’ll make a temporary den and then when exploring the tunnels find a more comfortable and permanent place." He mused as he scanned what could be seen. "Ideally I’d like a spot where I can keep an eye on the herds that wander around the pridelands."

His head bobbled up and down in his own agreement before he would speak about finding a temporary den. Well, his tanning comment caused her to chuckle before she would nod her head in agreement. A temporary den isn't such a bad idea. She would muse, knowing that her den would be something of a permanent case. She had always planned to have her den closer to the borders for guarding purposes. Ears swiveling on her head as she began to think about where he might be able to find a den that he was looking for. I'm not entirely sure where a good place would be. It was an admittance that she wasn't worried about admitting.
