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!

she was out of practice, but hunger spurned her forward, even more so now that she was expecting. little butterfly kicks urged her towards the bog, determined to find something to satiate the rumbling in her stomach - ( not to mention, desdemona also always felt she had something to prove ). the lioness settles among the shadows of the swamp, belly low and damp to the ground as she tries to hide in the foliage. eyes narrowed to pin pricks and ears tipped ahead, she watches and waits for her prey, awaiting the perfect moment to launch in the for kill. the calico doubts that will be a lone hunt, judging from the scent of others nearby, but per usual, she's not opposed to giving orders for her hunt.

He hadn't been hunting for some time, not since the cove had fallen to Drakon's kin. He just... hadn't exactly felt like it. But this time, when he heard the call while he was out and about, he moved to join the woman. He would, of course, take some back to the pride for Hecuba and her children still lived there, and deserved to have fresh kills instead of whatever happened to be in the cache. Besides, it would be a shame for his skills to atrophy.

He scanned their surroundings for whatever the woman might be stalking, but didn't see anything at first glance. Perhaps she was waiting for others to gather before drawing too near their prey. A wise choice, he thought.

She hungered. The shrivel of her stomach said it. Her eyes, blank, small, narrow, spoke of need. The flash of gold within their irises was minute. Brows downcast, her eyes seemed like imperfect carnelians, perhaps factory manufactured, no shine. As usual she panted. Her tongue was dark burlap, dry textured. It beat within its source, throbbing at the base of her throat and expelling irregular breaths that shook the shadow of her ribs. The bog smelled like too many things for her to catch the scent of death, and the floor collapsed behind her, leaving no pawprints. There was... something... something alive, maybe a mirage, but it caught and flared the edge of her hunger and drool frothed around her lips as she tracked it. Nostrils twitched. She paused on a dry rise. Which way? She found the scent agai, and another. She chanced across the path of two lions and she didn't know why they were here but she hoped they would leave carrion behind them.

She drew up close, panting and odorous, ringed with wounds. "I smell," she paused, slurping up drool. "Food. Lots a' food. I'm gonna eat it. All. So much. When we catch. Food."

Bog? Good. Awesome. Great. The muck ran right off and that was good. That was a single positive to their ancestry of swamp living failure. Short, muck-resistant fur. And paranoia, and predisposition to irrational thinking, and being too small for more than the topline of their back to show above water as they half croc-walked, half-paddled across the uneven swamp. They didn't mind swimming but they increasingly minded being small. Despite trying to coast as much as they could, they felt too many splashing noises were rising from around their paddling limbs. Like they were being watched. By crocodiles... or lions. They smelled the cove. The salty scent of the ocean was not the same brackish moisture the bog carried. They also saw - impossible not to see - that giant male @Seraphiel who kept hanging around like the Cove was his home or something, sticking out like a swollen thumb and looking around like he'd never seen a swamp before. Maybe he wanted to conquer it. Conquer the whole thing.

Yeah. Looked like he was looking for something to eat. Ears pitched as more voices arrived. Something something food... something something hunger... well, Seraphiel was still looking to conquer something even if it was just food! Parvati veered for dry land and shook themself off. They found themself on a vine-strewn makeshift island composed of roots, not really dry land at all, but it let them shake off their fur without leaving a wet spot behind them and their tracks wouldn't be as obvious. Once they were semi-dry they picked their way to the edge and gazed out over the swamp. Maybe they could spot prey before the others. Prove themself useful. Though still probably too afraid to speak up....

"Foood...." she pleaded. She sniffed again at the wind. It was harder to smell the food now that it was mixed with lions. But she caught something, a sharp edge approaching on the next breeze. She heft her head, lips flaring, and chased the wind for a few steps while inhaling audibly. "Food!" this was a pronouncement. Some long-necky creatures had stumbled into the swamp. Perhaps their legs were as long as their necks. Walpurgis charged after them, never one to blunder by not rushing boldly into action. She took a jump from dry land and landed on one while it was floundering. She wrapped herself around its neck (there was a lot of neck) and held on and eventually it was over. She consumed it as dank bog water dripped off her fur. This gazelle tasted like bog. Weird. Eventually she ventured off, compelled by her heavy stomach to seek a nap.

and there. it was not much, but it was "fooood" and desdemona's gaze flutters over to the ornate lioness as she drawls, before finally piping up more at the definite sight of their meal. she doesn't have much time to give any instruction as what is usual for her and with a glance and lash of her tail at her temporary companions, she bounds across the muk of the bog. it sops her fur, turning it dark and dirtied as she attacks the other gerenuk that walpurgis hadn't tackled, catching its hocks and causing it to flail and fall into the sopping mud. she gives pause for the others to leap in and finish it, her diminitive size compared to even the tiny long necked prey animal making it somewhat difficult to handle with its kicking and screaming.

before long, they've settled into an easy snack and she eyes each of them carefully, hoping to remember them for the future. an ally was an ally, she had learned, whether it was for hunting or something a little more worn torn. thank you all, she says, straight lipped but gratitude clings to the statement, maybe i'll catch you all some other time. content now, she's able to part ways with a fuller belly and a ringing of success in her chest.

Others came to join them, and for once he was the only male in the group. Interesting, he thought. Perhaps it was because of their location that there weren't many others around. It didn't matter, because their prey was something that seemed easy enough to bring down, and certainly fell before their combined force.

He personally ate little, preferring instead to wait until the others had gotten their fill and separating some to take back to the Cove. He was, as always, loyal to his chosen home, and he refused to eat until he had assured the pride had something to fill their bellies as well.

He nodded in acknowledgement of Desemona's words before he set off back home with his portion.
