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!

Summer is in full swing now, with clear skies, warm nights, and ample sunshine!

Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.

Leading a hunt provides double trade experience for all involved once per 3 OOC months !!

The winter months were rolling in and the Summit was going to need all of the food that they could get and so Talisa called her pride together once again. To come and entertain the snow and the prey that had dropped upon their mountain with Maua's help as they sought to sustain their children for a little while longer. Let the lions of this home come together once more and take part in something as a unit. To rise and succeed together, hunting the prey that Talisa had discovered and tracked. Analyzing their movements and determining how many and it size, confident that they could come out of this successful once again.

She was always eager to help out with a hunt, mostly because it was one of the few things she could do well, besides trying to cheer everyone up with stories and songs. She didn't feel like she was the greatest at that, and so this was a much better way to help out the pride.

Picking up on the scent of prey as she approached @Talisa, she sidled up to the woman with a bemused expression. What is it about this place that draws these sort of animals? she asked softly. You would think with it this high up, and cold, and rocky terrain, they wouldn't want to come up here. And yet the prey seemed to find them instead of the other way around. It was great during this time of the year, when they were all but snowed in up at the top of the mountain, but it still confused her. Perhaps someone else knew.

She was already busy with making sure the perimeter was safe, though she didn't really know why she bothered. So few wanted to come up here and cause trouble to begin with (or so she thought). But, her baby siblings were here, and that meant that her fathers were preoccupied with them and weren't as likely to have the time to do this themselves. She knew at least one of them often walked the border in the early mornings, and now he was busy making sure none of her baby siblings walked into a snow drift. That and she did want to help out keeping the family safe. So she took it upon herself to take up Seraphiel's usual task, stopping every once in a while to sink her claws into one of the very few trees or scrape them along the far more numerous rocks in order to sharpen them, honing them to fine points just in case she did run into someone.

But that was until she heard the call for a hunt, which was a welcome distraction from the relative monotony of walking around the border looking at snow and ice. So she hastened to join the quickly gathering group.

Fearne has felt the cold coming down from the mountains more and more. Snow fell more freely and often from the ice caps and covered more and more of the mountain around them. It made movement difficult but also presented other dangerous opportunities. It wasn't quite cold enough yet in early winter that all of the reaches of snow were frozen and packed solid. In fact last night had been particularly warm (in night terms) and Fearne was out checking on the peaks for signs of loose snow and avalanche potentials. When his mother's summons caught his attention -

Fearne approaches Talisa and crouch crawls close to her. "The snow on the mountains above us does not look safe, if we hear an avalanche we need to bolt." He passes along the warning before he himself jumps in to assist with the hunt. Ever just a bit extra watchful on the peaks over head of them.

We can do this, she addressed to those that were gathered and looked right to @Alvena as she showed and asked a very important question that Morrigan would have likely loved to answer. I always tell Morrigan that I think something scares them this way, because it was the only excuse that could even begin to make sense. Why go somewhere that's weather could endanger your health let alone a gathering of hungry lions that were going to be deep in the throws of winter?? They could be just trying to seek shelter as we would, because the snow was hard enough but getting lost in the snow was a very common thing when you didn't live your whole life in it.

Head swiveled to @Fearne as he addressed the snow that had become so compact up higher that it did pose a risk. If you hear any sounds coming from above you, whether it is loud or soft, move away from the Mountain as quick as possible. She expected each one of them to know not to make any loud noises and they were going to have to be quick so that the giraffe calf didn't either. One of you swing ahead, block it from going further into the pride and then round it back to the outside. Her eyes glanced to @Sariel before passing to Fearne and Alvena. Any one of them could do the job but time was of the essence.

Talisa's commentary on the type of prey they got up there made sense. It was about the only thing that made sense actually. Yeah, they get scared and then they get stuck because of the deep snow on the paths up here or something, she agreed. It was entirely too easy for lions to have that happen to them, so she didn't see why prey would have it any different. Although this one in particular seemed like it should've been fine with the snowdrifts.

She glanced up at Fearne's mention of the snow above and nodded slightly. There was always the concern of that happening, but these winter months made it even easier for such a thing to happen. Thankfully, it isn't an elephant, she said softly. That would probably jar the snow off those cliffs up there with its trumpeting.

I got it, it shouldn't notice me as easily, she volunteered, because with her mother's light coloring surely she could slip by it unnoticed. Which was just what she went to do.

While she was far more comfortable socially in the small group, she knew this hunt was going to be more difficult because of it. So she remained silent while the others spoke softly, sparing a glance for the snowy slopes above them when they were mentioned. A glance down towards the rest of the lands revealed that she could see part of the border from there, which was interesting to her. And all the time her paws kneaded the ground beneath her until they had worked their way through the thick coating of snow to the ice and frozen dirt beneath, which she continued to sink her claws into rhythmically, sharpening and removing some of the outer layer that needed to be shed. When Alvena went ahead, she turned her attention back to the hunt, ready to leap into action.

Talisa always held utmost confidence in the lions of the Summit but that might have been because they had always, in a fashion, been hand selected. Not even selected, really, but they came to her in some form or fashion. They very rarely recruited at the Passage because they were of the mind that they wanted more than just another body. One could argue that adding "one extra body" can turn into a lifetime of loyalty but it could also turn out to be a detrimental thing, too.

So she was happy to lead the gathering of the younger group of Summiteers, nodding her head gently as @Alvena decided to take up the position instructed to have an opening. Leaving @Sariel and @Fearne. we will start off at a steady pace and when the prey begins to turn, we'll pick up our speed the best we can and have a nice meal. Always of the mind that her pride members earned every feast that came knocking at their door. It was always nice when they participated in the hunt to acquire the feast but it wasn't necessary.

Fearne gives a passing glance upwards once more, looking ever in the direction that the prey was heading for signs that the mountain would unleash its unforgiving wraith on them all. More snow falling may cause problems, but so too would the brighter sun melt snow. I think it's heading in a good direction for our safety. He advises the party in their pursuit. However, less likely to cause an avalanche wasn't a zero chance. They should all heed @Talisa's advice.

Poor thing. He commented as @Alvena and his mama make their assessment on what it was doing up here. It did seem out of place, Fearne could only imagine how terrified it must be.

There was a lot of aggressive chasing and a lot of snow being thrown around them as the giraffe calf scooted along. Letting out its frantic calls to try and get anyone around to come assist it but somehow, she doubted that there was any other giraffe up here but this one. They didn't usually come up here in packs so it seemed pretty obvious that this one had simply made a mistake that someone had not bothered to teach it not to make. Nevertheless, the Summit would have their last meal and Talisa was going to make sure that those who were gathered here would take their earnings.
