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!

While he had grown up in the vast temperature of the Summit and the temps of the oasis, nothing ever prepared him for either. Today was an exceptionally hot day where he was lounging under the shade of a nearby rock trying not to wither into nothingness. Every part of him was screaming death by heatstroke and for once, he was not looking forward to his entire mane coming in. If this was how he felt now, he could only imagine what it might feel like when he was old enough for it all to grow in. How his father and his grandfather dealt with it was beyond him but man, even dipping himself into the ocean every now and then did nothing to help. As soon as he got to shore, the heat had mostly dried him off. There were no seconds of reprieve and he was now suffering the consequences. @Fairytale

It was hot but at least she didn’t have a fluffy blanket growing on her neck to choke her in this heat. Still she found herself taking a swim to try to cool off. It was on this swim that she spotted someone and as she swam closer she noticed it was @Güelle. Though she didn’t really know him she recognized his scent as friendly. Or at last from the same pride. Dunking her head under the water to really soak herself she came up and took a deep breath before climbing up on the shore of the cay. "Hey having fun melting?" She asked in a soft tone that was a tease but she was a bit worried as he didn’t look the best in her opinion.

The moment he saw @Fairytale approaching him, he felt relief in a way. Ugh, he addressed upon her words and felt his shoulders slack with diminishing energy. You wanna trade hair-do's? He opens his mouth slightly ajar as though his mane was really just weighing him down at this point. As though heat had truly gotten caught in it. It's easy to take care of, looks really pretty and you can even decorate it with flowers and.... stuff. Females liked pretty things, right? It reminded him of his father and grandfather who had been born with the darkest of manes and at the very least, he was thankful that he was born with a much paler head of hair.

"Hmm… well it would be nice to have a pretty protective layer over my neck in fights." She countered thinking about his offer. "So sure." She said smiling and giving a chuckle. "Sadly I don’t think it works like that." Frowning as she stepped closer to him. Looking around she wandered away a short bit to look in some shrubs. Picking up a fallen palm tree leaf she dragged it over to him. "Maybe this will help?" She questioned as she picked up one end and started to wave it trying to fan him. Though it was making her hot doing so.

The very first response he wanted to give was that it probably did... but he also knew that he had never actually been in a fight (yet) so he couldn't fully attest to that. Surely it would, given that it protected his throat from unwanted movements. If only.. he sighed wistfully wishing that he could just give it like a wig to someone else for a little while. Curse these long-furred genetics of his! Watching @Fairytale move away and grab some sort of plant stirred his curiosity, only leaving him with a short bit of relief as he gave the most pleasured face possible at the sudden breeze he was getting. Wow, that's nice! Shoulders slumped now but only to be relaxed, not at all realizing that in her doing so the movement was making her all the hotter. All he felt and saw was the weight the breeze seemed to take away.

Fanning @Güelle she would keep it up for a few minutes until she needed a break. Stopping she panted but she was glad he wasn’t as hot for a few moments at least. "Sorry I need a break." She panted out between breaths. "The water was nice while in it, so maybe we can find a spot where the water is shallow enough to rest in, in the shade to cool off?" She suggested as she looked at him. "Oh sorry where are my manners. I am Fairytale. Barony of the lagoon." Giving a dip of her head to him she waited for a response. Though she could always take a quick dip and then come back to fan him more.

Thank you, he offered immediately as she apologized simply for needing a break from her fanning, that was very kind of you. You're very good at that. Or perhaps it was simply his first time getting fanned and he had nothing to compare @Fairytale's skills to but man, she did it well. Should be a professional fan artist, he grinned and was pleased that at the very least he didn't have to put on a show of maturity and that he could simply relax in his own nature. Sometimes he felt like what was expecting of him made him twice his age and by what was expected of him, it meant what he felt was expected of him when really it was just his own reflections.

We should do that, yeah... quickly he looked from one side of the shores to the other and harrumphed a deep breath, we can stroll down that way? Maybe the water is shallower there. He knew there were the rock pools nearby but those generally had a lot of sea life in them that might pinch in places they didn't want them to pinch. Oh, uh... I'm Guelle. No rank, just me. He should have a rank... maybe but then that would mean that he would feel more obligated to stay rather than eventually join his mother and the Band that she was trying to create for them.

Giving a cheeky grin she couldn’t help herself. She didn’t see herself being that good at fanning someone but he was praising her so she was happy for the praise. "Maybe I should just follow you around with this leaf all summer." She cooed though if she found that it would be helpful to her pride mates who had manes she just might start to keep a leaf in her den. Maybe one of them would return the favor and fan her off sometime. Snickering at the thought she giggled softly before nodding her head to him. Grabbing the leaf she took it with her as they walked. "Nice to meet you @Güelle. Not having a rank is okay. You’re still young plenty of time. Enjoy youth." She mumbled with her mouthful. She wasn’t bothering to be ladylike as she felt she could be more relaxed about things.

While having someone follow him with a palm fan for the rest of the week or however long did sound fantastic but he wasn't as deserving as others. Oh no, there are plenty of other folks in the Lagoon that might benefit more than me. Of course, he immediately thought to Isla who probably deserved the utmost comfort and relaxation seeing as Guelle hadn't done anything except exist to be this hot and warm. Isla was probably patrolling the borders, protecting the pride, hunting, gathering and... generally being a bad ass. So many others deserved a good fan more than he.

With the palm frond in @Fairytale's mouth it was a bit difficult to determine what she was saying but he could gather enough. He thought. You don't think it looks bad? Guelle too often thought that having a rank meant that he didn't care about the Lagoon. That he would rather be nothing rather than something. A part of him knew that it wasn't the case but that doubtful part of him was eager to have some sort of relief and reassurance.

To be honest she wouldn’t really follow him around like a lost puppy just the fan him. That would probably make her a bit creepy. Not to mention all the fanning tired her out. Even more so then training and practice fighting. Though it wasn’t as easy to get injured being a silly fan master.

Shrugging her shoulders as they walked she shook her head to answer him. Stopping insome shade and dropping the frond she spoke again. "Not at all. You can do stuff for the pride without a rank. Hunting, patrolling, hanging out with others in the pride." Listing some stuff she wanted to make sure @Güelle knew she didn’t think less of him for not having a rank. "If you did want to gain a rank what do you think you’d like to be? I am training to become a fighter when more skilled." She admitted with a smile.
