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! As such, the deserts begin to grow dry, the shores remain a blissful escape, the north is spared with cooling winds, and humidity continues to rise in the jungle. Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.

@Úlla, @Leviathan, and @Baphomé did a little oopsie and now úlla's carrying kids from both men. the dads will not be active in their upbringing but will be told that they have kids. anyone is welcome to try out for the # cubs that are not taken by koa/me/daanyen. there is an adoption clause wherein cubs will be put up for adoption should they are close to falling inactive.

2 of 3 available

baphomé x úlla x leviathan

genetic markings — dark stockings, dark mask/face mask, brindle on shoulders, sable on shoulders, cream tail end, tail brindle/stripes, global dark pants, global brindle/stripes
names — will be icelandic or scandavanian or sea-themed names. baph's kids may be given a french variation of their name.
family — they will be related to the sigrún, blackmont, and the dieudonné. they will also have several half-siblings from úlla and baph. all children will carry the sigrún family name, but leviathan's children may add on the 'blackmont' family name once they meet him. as baph did not reveal his heritage to úlla, the children will not carry the dieudonne family name. in addition, the children will experience their first drowning as newborns and their second drowning as yearlings as per sigrún custom.
misc. — the plan is for úlla to raise the children in the lagoon, under the protection of her and her kin. they will also speak fluent icelandic, but they may pick up french from baphomé and/or pirate lingo from leviathan. both dads will not be directly involved, but they may visit the children. there is a non-zero chance levi might actually attempt a kidnapping esp if he finds out about the drownings but he is fairly absent so he might not even know for awhile. i am willing to pay for a cub sex change as i do want at least one boy in this litter.

personality

she is born from the sea in many ways from the softness of her brow to the undercurrent of life that ebbs and flows. a temperamental creature by nature with moods as calm and as turbulent of the waters that call to her. baptized in the cruel cold waters of her people, she will own them like a tempest regalia. hydra will be as fearsome as her namesake and just as relentless. the world is a vast place and the idea of exploring it will dive deep and set in her bones. an adventurer's heart is a siren's call to her and she will often find herself in a coin-flip with chaos. bred into battle and power, there is no arch of which hydra will not become a fearsome opponent. the only thing stopping her from taking over the world, honestly, is the lack of responsibility etched in her bones. she will carry her father's languid manners, his ease of life, and the laziness that settles in the art of being given such serious responsibilities. a revolutionary, boisterous woman she will emerge with a need to make her own way in her own way. there is a jovial cheeriness about her that hides the dark undercurrent that ripples beneath the surface: the serpent coiled in the belly of her gut ready to wreak havoc.


a berserker coiled behind a sweet face -- she's sunny, even-tempered, and clever (although like most clever people, probably not quite as clever as she thinks she is). she is irrepressible and impulsive, but also loyal and kind-hearted. hydra generally has a mild temper, but instances of cruelty or injustice really make her lose it. she's far more likely to be hot-headed than my other girls but is also quite soft-hearted in the privacy of those trusted. though very social, hydra seeks out and values time alone, especially enjoying the quiet rush of the ocean, or solitary on the cliffs overseeing the vast emptiness of it. much too lazy to start a fight on her own, she will finish it with a bloodied smile. she also will jump to the defense of others but her main goal will always be to give her friends and loved ones a sense of peace and safety.

History ;

sjóbarn was born to Úlla, the eldest of his littler and from day one it was clear he was Leviathans son. He bore the mans pelt and markings, the only markings that his mother gave being the gradient on his legs and face, there would be no doubt. sjóbarn almost revelled in the fact, that even if he was from a split litter, it was clear who his father was. It was clear who’s blood ran through his veins. That of his absence perhaps father, and his strong Sigrun mother.

Personality;
sjóbarn was blessed with size and strength, there was no way he wouldn’t use it- spars, battles, whatever it be- he loved it. It also showed in many ways how he’d inherited his father’s love of swearing. In anger or frustration even as a cub he’d swear, but very rarely in front of his mother. For dispite being a strong and capable young lad, he was always a mother’s boy, swearing to protect her even if his Papa had left. For Úlla gave him the blood that ran threw his veins, and the sharp brains in his head, so therefore she was honoured by him. In so many ways she was his hero- even if she’s not the queen of a kingdom- she’s the queen of his heart. Soft spoken words of wonder directed at her, there would be little Úlla could do to anger him.

Dispite being so clever and a decent fighter using his brute strength- his temper would be his downfall. In anger (or casual conversation, if I’m honest) swear words and harsh insults rage from his mouth. One of his favourite sayings of anyone tries to stop him is- “I have pirate blood in my veins so if I don’t get my pirate hat at least I can swear like one- so why don’t you shown that up your wrinkled, crusty ass you blithering beast.”

Or simply in his Icelandic mother tounge “Deyja tík,”

Yes, a civilised man of culture- unless in one of his strops. Of course, sjóbarn rarely shows that he care what others think of the way he talks. Their opinions don’t matter, only vellen’s and his mothers.

The web pawed vellen warrior is a giant on battle, having little hesitant and little pity towards his families enemies. Very little at all. But in many ways, he’s not bad. He’s rather kind and thoughtful in a way. His love often is shown through actions and not words.


Relationships;

Mother; His mother is his hero. A legend amongst children’s bed time tales. When he hears of tails from her reign and after, his inherited green eyes sparkle with awe. Whatever his mother wants of him, he shall give. Whatever she asks, she shall do. Whoever hurts her, he will hurt them more. No matter what trails he faces, his loyalty to her will be undying.

Father; Even if his papa isn’t involved, sjóbarn will hold him in a somewhat high regard. Not in the way he would his mother. But helt close none the less. It is unsure of what he will think of his father as time passes, being a total mama’s boy, poor old dad will forever be stuck in second place.

Cub 2; Dispite this sibling not sharing his own father, sjóbarn still respects them. His loyalty undying. It is unknown on how the pair will get along, but he wouldn’t purposely hurt her. Relationship tbd

Cub 3; His darling baby sister, loved more by him than he will likely ever know. He brings her trinkets often, small gems and pretty things. He knows that she can take care of herself, but he’d kill anyone who’d dare hurt her.

Traits;
-Brave -Stubborn -Secretly softie-hot headed
-Gentle -Feirce - Jokester -quick witted

sjóbarn random facts

-He has a chipped tooth at the back of his mouth due to falling off a rock and hitting the side of his mouth on a crab as a very young cub

-Sjóbarn tends to sing as he walks when going somewhere

-Very unnerved by crabs. It’s an issue okay!

-With his webbed paws he loves to swim, tending to go quite deep to explore the sea, it makes him feel close to vellen.

-Sjóbarn gets very unnerved if he feels like the sea is too far away from him, often causing his to get panicked even if it doesn’t show.

-He has 3 different distinct accents- An Icelandic one, a clear English accent, and a pirate talk like one.

-He tends to sometimes go tone death when it comes to these, swapping between accents without being aware.

-Sjóbarn is very vellen obsessed, valuing vellen above all else. Except his mother, who could slay vellen and spit in the boy’s face but he’d still go around preaching her brilliance.

Quirks;

-Pitch death- can’t always hear how loud his own voice is.
-Allergic to shrimp
-webbed paws

cub two of three

mathis/kolur/hayden sigrún




Cub #2 (Baphome)
Sex: Female Male
Build: Large
Coat: Grey
Eyes: Orange
Markings: 1 genetic, 2 bonus
Genetic Mutation: Extra fluffy
Random Mutation (optional): Polycaudal
Random Disease (optional): none


personality


this child is a true spawn of the sea: he is harsh, bitter, stoic. a combination of his parents and of the sigrún-dieudonné lineage he comes from. he is stubborn, unyielding and quick to judge, who often finds it difficult to see past his own desires. despite this, this child will be utterly fearless, ready to leap into anything. he is not prone to outbursts of anger or impulsive violence; everything he does seems to be for some sort of calculated purpose, though others might not be able to perceive it. he will happily wind and torment his siblings, simply because it is fun. but don't take his brash tormenting as malice: the boy will be fiercely protective of his sisters (and brother if the litter is like this), to the death. family is everything, and he will give anything to make sure they are safe.

the boy possesses an unnerving coyness to him, tranquil and detached in the face of danger and mildly playful (but never indulgent in idle whims). he isn't particularly arrogant, either, in the sense that he doesn't have a sense of entitlement - he just does what he feels like, and is self-assured in his own power and abilities.

alas, the child is also courageous, clever, determined and proud. he is headstrong, and holds a sharp, cynical and sarcastic sense of humor. can also be judgemental.

misc.

based loosely off of common greyjoy personality tropes.

The gods are not much interested in fairness
Emrik Sigrún


Resilient, loyal, intuitive, reckless, devout

He is all these things and more. A loyal hound in the Sigrún clan, it’s clear that Emrik belongs to the ocean. He is not driven by fame or power; he is not particularly aggressive either. Rarely does anything bother him enough to provoke a reaction. If anything, he seems a rather stoic boy. In the end, he doesn't care what impression he leaves on those outside his family and Vellen.

A quick learner, eager to prove himself. Often finds a challenge in everything and rises accordingly. Raised to be a loyal member of his family and uphold tradition, it is no wonder the boy takes his heritage seriously. Hard on himself, worse so when he is beaten or fails at whatever challenge is set. The expectations his mother has on him have nothing on the ones he put on himself. He does not need to be the best, but he must prove himself a true Sigrún. Whatever the cost or reason.

Perhaps the obvious truth is that he is more like his father than first meets the eye. The feral, untamed streak runs deep through Emrik’s heart. He naturally leans toward the wild and restraint-free life, yet tradition and Sigrún values hold him back, chains around his neck almost choking tight. His fate has yet to be determined, whether he will sink with the weight of his bonds or swim despite it.
