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
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.

welcome to the krokodila family.

* a couple of notes:
    this is @Dragon's branch of the family, specifically. her mother, miasma, adopted other felines wayyyy back in the day and had the original krokodila branch. these guys are like... cousins to those ones, lol.
    lilou was born in amaryllis 25 years ago and adopted the first lioness of this branch when she was about 22 years old. she raised that lioness - reverie i - into adulthood, leaving amaryllis when she [dragon] was 5 years old. reverie took a mate and had offspring, and long story short, here we are today.
    all of the currently living krokodila lions (from lilou's branch) descend from the youngest of reverie i's children - phantasm. phantasm's nieces and nephews never ended up having children of their own, so phantasm's line is the only one still intact.

delusion krokodila x karila
i. @Reverie iv krokodila [jan y3]
ii. visage, mirage, & vision ii krokodila [jan y4]
fantasy krokodila x vienna
i. spirit, revenant, & haunt krokodila [jan y4]

@Reverie iv krokodila x daimonia ruar
i. harbinger, prophecy, persecution, & spite krokodila [jan y6]

* delusion, karila, fantasy, vienna, and daimonia were taken out by disease in december y5. reverie inherited the mantle of matriarch from her mother and was made into a single mother in the same night. it's been stressful for her, and she hasn't really had a chance to grieve properly because of her new responsibilities.

* she's done her best, and now is bringing the family out of hiding [they've been hiding in zaharli swamp] to re-establish connections with other native families, as well as potentially make alliances with some of the outsiders. she's hesitant to connect with any non-natives, though.

* how your character feels about reverie is up to you, but i would really like the family to be close-knit with each other. since the dragon has returned, she will be meeting the family and resuming the mantle of crocodile matriarch to help guide and protect the family.

familial laws, traditions, & other info

traditions & laws:
    most members of this branch of the krokodila family practice a form of vodun. how avidly they believe or practice is up to the individual adopter/character. i will be creating a document to explain the family's version of vodun at some point soon <3
    the enemy of one is the enemy of all - to invoke the wrath of the krokodili is to be punished, with death if necessary. loyalty to family is extremely important to the krokodili.
    the plural of krokodila is krokodili
    krokodili are fluent in croatian
    theft is fine, as long as it is not from each other
    take as many - or as few - mates as you wish
    murder is acceptable, though it is preferred there be a good reason for it
    krokodili do not distinguish between biological and adoptive relationships; they take in foundlings often, and always raise them as their own

crimes:
    rape is a capital offense and will always be punished by death
    treason results in expulsion from the family & sometimes, if the offense is serious enough, an execution warrant
    murder of another krokodila [who is not a traitor] will result in immediate and permanent expulsion from the family
    anyone who murders a healthy child is to be put to death

* cubs born with severe illnesses or who are otherwise not able to have a good quality of life are killed at or very soon after birth as a form of mercy. this is not punishable and is, in fact, expected.

* blindness/deafness/etc would not elicit this result, nor would any other mutation that does not directly affect their overall health. neither would a small cold. it's only if a child shows very obvious symptoms of a lethal disease or mutation that they are killed.

* doing this is seen as a form of mercy, since the child will not live long anyway and would most likely suffer the entire time it was alive. it is a heartbreaking thing to do, but they see it as freeing the soul to go somewhere better.
