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 rain is slowly peetering out across the lands, though it is still heaviest in the east and lightest in the west. Thankfully, however, the temperature is steadly rising and the sun no longer hides behind the clouds. In celebration of the new season, the vegetation is alive and lush and plants are growing wildly across the valley. Spring is in the air!

When @Rose appears at his side, he leans into her momentarily. A comfort knowing she was there, a worry for what she might see. Among his people, she would have been one of the wives, teachers, storytellers. Protected by him and others of masculine nature. The creator of a house.

He opens his mouth to speak as the fight gets underway, when Skjol is interrupted. The words are muddled with an accent, but he does not take the time to process them. Consider the man in high alert after the events that have transpired. He turns to this stranger--a woman?--by scent as it drags across his nose. Skjol nearly pushes Rose back, and lunges at the dark hued furry lioness.

He swings with his right, dragging up his left to try and grab a hold of the neck. His mouth opens painfully wide as his teeth seek to clamp shut up on the bridge of her nose--pulling up then sharply to the right, in an attempt to tear the flesh of her obsidian hide.

She would get better – she would get stronger. Though the events at that lagoon were still fresh on her mind, perhaps Clove was emboldened by her first win. She gravitated naturally toward the sound of a challenging summons, her heart racing until her toes tingled as she walked dutifully toward that border. Nevermind the annoying grit between her toes or the reeking stench of fish in the air – this was what fighters did. She would learn.

Clove settled in toward the edge of that lingering crowd, focus immediately gravitating toward two sets of grappling cats. Each was a duo of man and woman, two fighting at the center of it all and another pair scuffling on the sidelines. Clove wrinkled her nose as sand kicked up in the breeze, inching back slightly as she watched to see who would prove the victor and how.

Sabek hears the call towards the Cove, a place he's only ever heard of and never seen. Now wandering farther from his rainforest home as of late, he can't deny a panic that rises in his chest. Did @Pyrrha ♔ challenge for her home again? And if so, why didn't she tell him?

Had he not promised he'd be there in support?

The dusk colored leopard pushes these intrusive thoughts away, skillfully finding the place where lions had gathered. there were so many already!

But as his silver gaze manages to peak through the crowd (he's staying a distance just in case) he notices that neither hide of the fighters matches that of his friend. Sabek relaxes a bit, his haunches touching the sand under his small hiding spot in the foliage.

It would seem, he's incredibly late for any true bloodshed, and what had transpired was essentially over. Were all fights this short? Pyrrha had made them sound far more intense.

As his gaze begins to scan the people gathered, he spots her. Knowing she was a friend, and hoping she'd be somewhat of a sheild to him if anything were to happen, the lone hunter darts over to her, quickly.

"I ran all the way here, and it's already over." he said somewhat out of breath "I was worried you were going to get hurt again" he then noticed @Aphrodite , curiously, peeking his head out from the frame of his friend. "Oh, sorry, was this a conversation? Did I interrupt?" being alone so long made group gatherings almost foreign.

There was a lot of...noise happening. Some cry he hadn't fully understood and then strange scents on the wind. Cinder generally spent most of his time exploring the territory or enjoying the stretch where sand met sea. It seemed half-drowning had not left much of a lingering effect on him after the first few days, and the sea was no more terrifying than, like...any other natural hazard. Anyway, he figured if he could learn to swim then it wouldn't be very dangerous at all.

On the cusp of his first year, he'd gained quite a bit of height, but was still a collection of lanky limbs and too-large paws. And...comparing himself to others around him...too-large teeth.

By the time he arrived, it seemed the main fight was already drawing to an end. A quick scan showed him a scattering of unfamiliar faces and - oh! It was the guy who'd invited him to the cove in the first place! And...he was fighting too, okay. Cinder hadn't seen him around in a while, but didn't quite realize that meant he'd left entirely.

The boy would plant his butt in the sand to watch whatever was left of the fight involving the queen, but with a look of vague confusion on his face.

Please @ my OOC account or tag me in Discord or I may never see your alert. I do not regularly check all my accounts for alerts.

Khadija was on the edge of her chair, of course she was on Miaran's side, here to support her. Even if everyone hated her queen, she will stay loyal to her. Those who brought hate towards her were hipocrites. All lions had their sins, their dark side. And if they had to hate on others ignoring their own flaws then they were worse than scum.

Two of her daughters came to join her, she gave each a lick on the head until she saw Lyla carrying something she should not. Quickly she takes the leaves away from her mouth with her front paw. "Those are no no plants! They hurt." She said not as much as a scolding but more of advice.

Interesting. He's back in Amaryllis for all of one evening when a fight breaks out, dredging up memories of his once upon a time in the limelight. It's been quite a while since he's been in combat himself and the life of retirement suited him; but of course, for the right price he will happily get his hands dirty. Crixus strolls casually to the battlefield and appraises each combatant with a pale gaze, impressed by the child as much as he is by the woman. It's a close match and could go either way, so the man settles onto his haunches to watch.

it seems all she needed to do was ask, for this man is eager to oblige her in a little tussle alongside her dear friends from the cove. how kind of him, indeed! skjol lunges for her but manon, too, is moving forwards to try and close the distance between them. after all, a fight was so much better when one was close enough to smell and taste their opponent's blood.

skjol's teeth sink deep into her cheek as a result, shredding through the flesh there and opening up a nice wound. her chin tucks immediately as she propels herself forward and up, as if to follow the movement of the man's head, aiming to slam the flat portion of her head against the bottom of skjol's mandible. the bluffs princess hardly notices the woman that he shoves out of the way before engaging, nor does she pay mind to any others who might approach them.

It didn’t take long before Lyla spied her sister also clinging close to their mother. The vague idea that maybe she would be more fun than the grown ups had just come to her when suddenly her mother was swatting her toy straight out of her jaws. She let out a noise that sounded something between a squeal and a hiss at the sudden turn of events, her eyes darting at her mother as she told her they were bad plants that hurt. But mama! she protested, ears flattening against her skull and a paw lifting to point towards the duo who were quickly completing what had to be the quickest fight the cove had ever seen. Mama Miaran was playing with it! Lyla like Miaran! she whined, lowering herself into the sand clearly pouting. I want to play too! she huffed. Life wasn't fair.

There was comfort, if just for a moment, as Skjol leaned back into her. Her eyes were not on him however, they were firmly fixed upon the two lions locked in battle. She winced slightly at each blow, but this fight seemed at least more civil than the chaos upon the shores of the lagoon.

Until it wasn’t.

Movement beside her happened so fast. One moment she had her eyes fixed upon the stranger and the caladan queen, the next she was being shoved back by the scarred sharkslayer - the sudden loss of feeling him near causing a pit to form in her stomach as she let out a mix of a growl and a hiss as she retreated backwards. Her ears flattened as the sudden fight broke out, her tail twitching with irritation and worry behind her as she stared at this newest fight. She’d missed what had started it, but she knew who she was rooting for in it.

Daedric was delayed in his arrival to the challenge for the Cove. Much of his time and energy had been focused instead on making a patrol around the territory, even along the ocean's edge where others were any intruder was unlikely to appear.

At his brisk pace, it would not take long for him to make a full circuit before then turning his attention to the distant summons. He was not sure if a large crowd would amass, but he imagined so now that its queen had made new enemies.

His legs burned with the endurance exercise, but he would not complain, welcoming the burn of a good workout. They would carry him to the group already gathered. The queen was busy defending her throne from a young male of which Daedric was unfamiliar.
