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!

This area will be used to help bridge things between Discord and the site when certain items are being requested of the members. This will be mainly action item type requests vs general alerts about games or heads up on things. Discord is still the primary method with this being secondary.

8/12 : We are running into some errors with something we are working on. It is VERY important that when you have a character under the age of 1 year you use #.## and NOT .##. We are asking that all members take a moment to look at the age they have for their character and update as needed. If you have questions, please ask!

As most of you know, we are working hard to make things run smoother for staff. This does mean some changes for how things have been done for the past few years but the steps we are taking are HUGE time savers once they are in place.


We will be moving to a system where ALL weight is lbs. This is to allow for a big change across all accounts, including creatures and to have perk information show up automatically for creatures (currently it is inputted by staff). All members need to go into their accounts and update the weight to be only the NUMBERS and change(if not already) over to lbs.
  • This profile field has been adjusted to allow you to make the changes needed, it will be changed back in Sept, when we have a set date (based on the coder) we will let you know. Please take the time to do this asap and do not leave it for staff to have to go through and do later on which will take away from other areas of work.
  • The guidebook will be updated to lbs only shortly.

If you have a creature, you will see (if they are in the creature usergroup, if they are not (are in a pride or band), please post in help asking for help with this) a new profile field (pictured). Please select YES. Please do this as quickly as possible! We will be removing it from the creature usergroup in the next week or so. This will then be selectable when creating a new account.
  • Lion characters, we are awaiting testing to be done before we know if you have to mark no or not, please do NOT mark anything right now for lions.

We thank you for your help with this!

We are putting a HARD STOP on editing the number of dice that have already been rolled. (so going from 5d20 to 4d20 or 5d20 to 6d20)

We have noticed that unlike when we did our original testing, the dice roller now changes dice when the dice numbers are changed. No idea why it changed, we are looking into it.

Editing the post and not the dice numbers does not change the outcome, so that will still be allowed. If the roll doesn't happen properly because of it being typed in wrong, you can still edit that.

If you accidently add to many dice, make a note of it in the post(edit to add the note) AND when requesting judging. You will also need to adjust in the following posts after you have noticed or been told. Staff will manually remove the last dice added to your roll.

If you accidently forget a dice, you can not add it on to a post that has had the dice already rolled. You can add it onto dice rolls in new posts with a note as to why it is different. Staff will not add a roll to your final dice amount.

PLEASE be mindful of your dice amounts. Use the notepad in your usercp to help you out.

If you are found to be editing the dice number on a rolled result, your fight will be defaulted.

A few things we wanted to make everyone aware of:

- When selecting a PVP level and entering into any fight (based on what's allowed per your PVP) you accept the risks/possible outcomes of that fight, no matter what it’s for.

- OOC signatures and OOC notes do not override your character’s selected PVP level and are non-enforceable. Drop your PVP level if you don’t want to risk being engaging in certain types of fights.

- Fights ICly and OOCly don't have to mean the same thing. IE: You can fight in an official major maim but treat it ICly as if they are fighting to the death — a character won’t die in this instance, but this method can be used to balance realistic IC actions with OOC mechanics

- Trade perks only apply to a thread if they were earned prior to the thread creation date. Though we have liquid time on-site, earned perks, pride laws, etc., go off of the thread start date.
- *if you have used a perk in a thread already please do not use it again in that thread. Sr Staff is working to identify the ones used but there are a lot of pages and its not the easiest thing to figure out so some will be missed, leaning heavy on members to be honest with this*

- If you choose to use a perk that involves a dice roll, the results of the roll must be adhered to and followed ICly

- We allow members to agree to a number of things to help with gameplay, those areas have been outlined in the guidebook or via updates. If you aren't sure, please ask. If it is not outlined, lean toward it not being allowed.

- We have done our best to cover as many things as we can with rules but we want to remind everyone that the spirit of the site is our guiding force. No one wants MORE rules to sort through so let's all work together to make this a fun place to be. We don't want there to be unwritten rules but we do hope that in most cases, this will cover things. If you aren't sure, ask!

- Prior prisoner challenges made by EM were switched to Dom matches, new ones by leadership are valid. There was an announcement about it above.

- @chebae and @em.uu have managed to put together a tool to help you with hunts! No more math! https://perchance.org/ckvltu0ci4 You can use it to add up the dice and as a reminder, we have this one to help figure out what your dice are https://perchance.org/amarhuntingdice

Our storage space is starting to fill up! We need some help managing it so we don't have to pay extra fees!!

Please go through your accounts and DELETE old alerts and old messages! some of us have 1000+ alerts
If you have a character that is sitting around and you don't intend to ever use again, please let us know so we can remove the account. If you aren't sure if you have random accounts out there (there are a lot of unlinked accounts), please ask a staff member to pull up a list based on any emails you may have used.

I am hoping that the above and what I will be doing this on the backend as well to help with the load the site is carrying. We do not want to have to change around to much else so everyone cross your fingers and toes that this helps!

We are the LARGEST site that the host has as she has already switched us once because of our size and it raised our fees, we want to avoid doing this again (for her and us!)

Even if you are not currently active, you can still help us with this by doing the above as you are able!
