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.

Haakon’s claws aren’t long in the flesh of the boy - as quickly as he feels them dig in, Arawn pulls himself free. Skin rips in the back of Haakon’s neck as he shifts, leaving deep holes that bleed into the sand at their paws. The viking senses the movement, feels it coming - or maybe that’s experience talking. He lifts his head, jaws opening a split second before Arawn’s skull smashes into Haakon’s muzzle. A bright, hot spark of pain blooms from his teeth and chin, very nearly dislodged in the oncoming blow. He tries to clamp his jaws down, trying to bite at whatever bit of skin he can get to tear and destroy, but the pain is blinding. So blinding that he doesn’t see the claws coming, crashing into the side of his face, ripping downwards and barely avoiding his eye. Blood wells and streams down, and Haakon attempts to return the attack with his own claws - trying to dig them into the boy’s face.

I will strip away all that you know, all that you love
until you have no shelter but me -

his opponent's blood fills his mouth and coats his paw, staining his winter skin in rubelite liquid. their brawl intensifies, neither one yielding. blood flows freely down the phantom's wounded arm, hitting the sand, beads of crimson that stain the earth, and oozed with unbidden fury. pain ebbs along the leviathan's nerves, but he is fueled by bloodlust and adrenaline - the highs of their heightened violence. the golden man haakon would be swift in his charge, those flashing teeth temporarily hooking into the bridge of arawn's nose as they suddenly connect once more; and a numbing pain is swift to set in. but arawn would fight through the pain, his wrath intensifying, as he feels his own face getting shredded by his opponent's flaying claws. more blood blossoms to one side of arawn's face, staining his fur, but he will not remain idle. retaliation would be fierce, as arawn attempts to rush forward, suddenly aiming to grab haakon by the jugular in his final assault.

Drena had been perfectly complacent since arriving in Andal Oasis. She hated the fucking desert, hated being a mother even more. But there was that minimal instinct within her, the drive to protect. And when a skirmish was on their doorstep, the warhound was even more eager to get her claws dirty. She patrolled across the hot sand, her fiery gaze scanning the crowd and throng of bodies being thrown against one another. But it was the familiar voice of @Lagertha that caught her attention. She had a score to settle with that bitch, and though @Draugr had already intercepted her, Drena's mouth was salivating at the opportunity of sinking her teeth into her again. Drena makes a beeline towards the Cove woman, running directly towards her hind end, claws hungrily outstretched as she attempted to latch onto her haunches and pull. Her teeth would snap at the woman's tail, hoping to crunch down on the appendage.

She didn't want to go towards all the sounds and commotions that had her home lit up like an angry beehive. The humming was overwhelming, but what was even more overwhelming was the absence of her siblings and parents. She felt abandoned, scared, lonely. And oddly enough, intrigued. She made her way quietly across the sand, her little paws barely shuffling loud enough to be thoroughly detected on the outskirts of the gathering of strangers. Her ears were planted firmly atop her skull, purple eyes darting too and fro nervously. So many bodies, most so large in comparison to her tiny little form. Griša would leap towards the nearest little formation of pathetic shrubs and greenery dotting the landscape, but her purple gaze was frantically searching the throng of bodies for familiarity. There! In the crowd sat both @Kjartan and @Orren, and though part of her wanted to immediately join their sides, she stayed hidden. Her gaze flickers, managing to find her mother in the crowd, already throwing herself into a fight of her own. She gulps nervously, the saliva in her mouth practically choking her with dread as she continued to watch, wide-eyed, tail tucked.

The fight was quick to the rest of the world surely but to him it seemed to drag on. Claws ripping up his neck sending blood rolling down made him tired but somehow it seemed that he and @Neeha had won this? "Enough you are a good warrior for sure, but paws off our queen!" He hissed as he pulled away from the fight. He was exhausted but didn’t turn his back to @Harou ♔ to do so would be disrespectful. His head was hurting and he knew he didn’t want to be in this desert longer than he had to so he dipped his head slightly to the desert king before stepping backwards. "We’ll be going now." He proclaimed as he attempted to leave and leave while giving the lioness who fought with him in defense of Aphrodite an opportunity to join him in leaving.

There was a precious moment of opportunity. Precious was perhaps the wrong word. She didn't linger to cherish it. Precarious. There was a moment where her weight had settled across her squat, indignant ass and the enemy's @Tormenta's weight had yet to settle and in that precarious moment she worked her advantage like a physical law. Immediate, instinctual, inevitable and empty. "Mongrel trash!" she screeched like dry chalk in a dusty throat. Her mouth blazed the harpy cry while iron claws did the rending. At the ends of her brown limbs, flashing pale and dark in the shifting shadows of moonlight, they sprouted their rage. Dug, dragged, heedless of the thickness of flesh and stopped only by facial bone, along the cheek ridge and through the whisker pad to the upper lip. Dead flesh forever flayed. Scars that would heal, separate and mummified. In the unplundered tomb lie the bodies.

Such quantity of blood assured her that she could escape this encounter. She backed up, her tail skirting back under her abdomen. Skull tucked low again, ears down, submissive to fear and the delicate ordering of things that might fall apart if touched. Their king, unlocked from one challenge, fought another. She had heard no orders. The simple fact of life suggested carnage as the onward path, but her breath jolted into her heart and she needed to fix it. Needed to rest. The pain in her shoulder. Did the claws still rest there, a ring of porcupine needles in their shed ends? She limped three-legged toward their inner confines. The thinning of the crowd. Needed to... clear space from the last battle, turn around, keep watch, but furtive with bloody nose now lick at her wounds with little motions. Pink eyes seemed bloodshot like future scabs.

Her forces drop after expending the last bits of energy trying to stop him from forcing her down. And finally, her legs falter making her collapse into her under belly, her legs unable to move further. Sif would never voice surrender, it was not in her nature so instead of saying anything she lowered her head as her way to non verbaly say she was done with this and that at least for now he had won, that he had gotten her away from her home. But she was certain this wont last long... she was going to fight her way out or atleast after she fully recovered. She looked away from him not wanting to look at him, and anger was threatening with comming out but she suppressed it, she knew it would only make her look like a weakling. So she lied down there quietly.
