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!

September 26th, 2023 A series of pride challenges spark up across the peninsula, while warring families face-off as tensions reach their boiling points. Anthonius Savante barely manages to escape the clutches of Apollinaire Dieudonne with his life, while death looms over the broken truce between the Valour-Greyflood and Saxe families.

September 4th, 2023 After Tinúviel collapsed at the Wolfbron Bluff's challenge, she was unable to make it back to the Lagoon to take up her leadership position again and the pride disbands. Diomedeidae & Cirilla fight for the pride.

August 28th, 2023 Both Amara and Morrigan keep their prides. Lachesis doesn't show to defend the Brook and Renfri takes over. The Wolfbron Bluffs challenge seems to be setting off fireworks already.

August 15th, 2023 The two longest standing female leaders are both fighting for their prides once again. Anthonius challenges Amara for the Bluffs. Amaroq challenges Morrigan for the Summit. A new leader faces his first challenge as Renfri challenges Lachesis for the Brook. Did anyone think that peace was something the island was able to have?

August 1st, 2023 Conflict, drama, love, and loss - the lands are never free from any of it for more than a fleeting moment. As the summer months wane on and the season nears its end, there is no telling what is coming next upon the horizon.

June 19th, 2023 With the rains leaving and spring upon the island, things are heating up among the lions. Bruno seeks to unseat his father in the Mire. Helah looks to dethrone Scorpius in the Oasis and keep the fire between the Bluffs and the Oasis alive. The Plains have raided the Brook and allies on both sides showed up to help.

May 23rd, 2023 All is fair in love and war - moments of chaos and peace lull in a cyclical nature across the lands of Amaryllis, though most are wise enough to know that the quiet never lasts quite long enough.

April 20th, 2023 Alexander manages to win the Hollows and Tiamat keeps the Lagoon. Vághan challenges Amara for the Bluffs but Amara is able to hold off another challenger and keeps the Bluffs. The Cove was hit by a storm that washed away it's leader leaving the lands open to be claimed by Nephthys and Keligan who both are attached to the land. Cirilla attempts to take the Oasis from Scorpius who seems driven to keep the land.

April 5th, 2023 It doesn't take long for the dust to kick up as the Hollows is challenged for by Alexander once again and the Lagoon is challenged for by Fernweh.

March 31st, 2023 As wars and challenges continue to break out across the lands, Amaryllis is certainly keeping up with its turbulent reputation. One can only hope that the dust will settle soon enough - for everyone's sake.

March 10th, 2023 The turbulance of the prides never ceases for very long, as a violent landslide forces the members of Firnen Rainforest to evacuate and disband. Who will step up for the throne this time around?

March 1st, 2023 While Gauthier manages to retain control of Caladan Cove, Lorien Plains' fate is not so simple. With Aeistrios overthrowing Violarum and taking the pride's throne, how will things unravel from here?

Winter
The coldest part of winter is now afoot, with heavy snowfall spreading across the north and crisp winds overtaking the majority of the lands. To make matters worse, the days seem painfully short, with the sun setting as quickly as it seems to rise from across the horizon. The nights remain dark, quiet, and frigid all the while.

He was close, oh so close to being well again. Its a dangerous place to be, a line which he must walk with care. For it was easy to try something too soon and end up injured once again. Pain was a delightful little reminder not to test oneself too hard. A necessary nuisance. Now it's just a little bit of ache, an occasional jab. Enough that sometimes he almost forgets the weakness in his left hind limb and the lingering hurt in his ribcage. However he reminds himself often because he does not, in any way shape or form, want a repeat of what happened at the borders of the Lagoon. Where he damaged healing bones anew and set himself back far more than he would wish or want.

As such the beast had been making an effort to stick close to the cove. To not wander further just in case he forgot. As it was, the nearby cay calls to him, the water he must traverse to get there and back challenge enough to strength unused muscle, but it also supported him. Gave him the cradle in which he could challenge the bones and muscle, but not put too much stress on them. Making his way from the cay, emerging like a kracken, dripping water from saturated mane, he strides upon the sand that connects his temporary den to the pride within his wife sheltered in. Stopping to shake himself free of the worst of the moisture, trusting the sun to steam dry his form. As he makes to head back to his home for now something dark lingers at the nearby lagoon border. Crosses it as he ponders it. Then the demon is moving, his stride barely hitched. What was his dark daughter doing outside the edge of the pride? Sure, Dirius was the opposite of one who was strict about who came and went, but surely he should keep better eye on the borders for the youth. What Pistis saw in him was beyond him if he couldn't even corral his barely month old daughter within the safety of his boundaries.

Still, Lagoon king failure aside, it was a chance to see his dark girl once again. Something he wouldn't turn down, even if she was going to get a bit of a lecture from dad. She was so small. And while he approved of her bravery and her drive, he had not even give her the most basic of fighting lessons. Dysnomia was too small at this point. She had nothing to protect her from those who would do her harm. Gwyn may be nightmare to some, but family always found safe harbor in the beast's greedy arms.

"Dysnomia" rumbles, his voice firm but surprisingly gentle. Aiming to come to a stop before the babe, hulking mass a substantial roadblock. "What do you think you are doing?" he queries. Perhaps she was too young to give a decent answer, but he hoped she would be able to at least think a little. To know why he queried her with disapproval in his tones.

Ha! She'd made it! Finally made it! She had kept getting lost or stopped on her way to the border the few times she had tried to find and cross it before, but this time she had finally succeeded! Now she just had to figure out the rest of the way to go. That was going to be the hard part, because she hadn't exactly been paying attention, and the likelihood of getting lost was far higher now that she was off the pride limits. She didn't even falter though, continuing to plow forward with great determination. Apparently the Casimir blood ran strong in this one.

As luck or fate would have it, the very soul she was looking for planted himself in front of her, blocking her way. Dys looked up at him with surprise, the tip of her little tongue poking out of her mouth as she craned her head back. "'ooking for you, 'addy," she replied, plopping her butt down so that it wasn't nearly so difficult to have what little of a conversation she could have with him.

His daughter was attacking the challenge she had set herself with the determination that only the very youngest of babes could muster. It amused him, humor alighting in his gaze, but no where else. Its a subtle thing with him, and it allows him to find his children's antics funny without them knowing. Without them being egged on by his delight. As they grew they would grow better at reading his microexpressions. For now though, he was determined to enjoy his private laughter without them knowing.

She is surprised by his appearance, her wee head craning all the way back to look at him. His face remains impassive outside the glint in his eyes, internally cackling like a mad fool. She was adorable, though he would never voice it. Wasn't part of the role he played, showed to the world. He did lower himself to the earth as she spoke. Lying before her, an insurmountable obstacle to her wee form. "Oh? It seems I found you instead" observes the monstrous father. Gods, how far did she think she could make it to find him, to search for him? "Did you even know where to go, to look?" he queries, interrogating her. Trying to help her come to the conclusion that this had been a poor plan at best.

She nodded in agreement with her father's statement. Hadn't that just made things easier for her! It was tiring, making these little trips on her tiny paws, but it was worth it to get to where she wanted to be. Besides, every trip it seemed to get easier, so clearly she was getting something from it.

His question, though, gave her pause. Did she really know where she was going? Not entirely, no, but at least a little bit! "Kinda," she replied, not wanting to follow this line of thought to its logical conclusion. Duris had already told her that it wasn't a good idea for her to go wandering around on her own, but she hadn't believed him. What did he know? But if daddy said it, then it had to be true, and she didn't want it to be. Why couldn't she just go live with him, huh?

Silly girl. Her nod was met with impassive gaze, finding her was something he did not wish to do. Brows raised at her answer. He thrusts his nose at her, aiming to boop her small form with the point of his muzzle. To send her head over heels in a gentle physical admonishment. "Kinda is not good enough" states the parent to his babe. Staring down at her from wherever she ended up after his boop(if it succeeded). "Nomi, you are too small to go to the cove by yourself. In time, you will be able to." he begins his lecture, voice firm but not too harsh. Not as sharp as it had been for Zagan, his foolish almost fully grown son. He could soften his blows to a point, but only to a point. Gwyn's tone might be considered a bit much by weaker creatures. "but for now you must wait. What if you got hurt or worse? Would you want your mother to worry? " he continues. Leaving his worry unsaid, but implied to most others who weren't but a month old. Perhaps she would pick up on it; she was a bright child. However he didn't expect her to; it took a while to understand gwynisms.

She squealed with delight when she went over backwards, but her happiness was short lived as she picked up on father's stern tone. A pout crossed her features and her ears folded back as she was chastised, both accepting it and being disappointed. Too small? Ugh, why? When would she be big then?? But, daddy had said it and so it must be true, and she would have to follow it.

"No daddy," she replied of his question about mother. No, she wouldn't want her to worry. She supposed she ought to have thought about that after the first time she'd tried this when mom had actually caught her, but she hadn't really thought it would be a big deal after she found daddy. Obviously she was safe with him.

"How long until I big?" she asked, because he'd said in time she would be. Like... tomorrow?

Her laughter, while frankly quite adorable, was not appropriate. However her giggle fit finished soon enough that such things weren't a problem. A forelimb rose and attempted to scoop her close and gently pin her beneath it. Now, or so he planned, she wouldn't have a chance to squirm away or giggle while he talked with her. "Your mother has to keep an eye on you and all your siblings. Think before you make her job of taking care of you harder" he explains, his logic simple but sound. Treating children like they were made of glass only resulted in spoiled idiots. He had no tolerance for that. His children would be smart, and would be able to strategize and think critically. She continued, proving that point, the man offering her the smallest of smiles, releasing her from beneath his paw. "I know its hard, but it will be a while yet. Longer than the time between seeing you last and seeing you now." he explains in a framework she would understand. He let silence follow the explanation so it would sink in. Then he says much more lightly. "However, hopefully, maybe I'll be able to help your mother so you won't have to break the rules to visit me. " he rumbles. Things had been going well for him and Pistis thus far. He hoped that some day soon they could move in together again and raise their children together.

A paw came down on top of her to emphasize his point, and she merely laid her front paws on top of it so they wouldn't be squished, eyes and ears tipped towards her father as he spoke. Whatever daddy said, went, in her opinion. Above even mother, honestly. "Yes daddy," she replied. He'd told her and now she would follow. She'd somewhat considered it when mama had told her, but now she was definitely going to.

"Awww," she couldn't help but complain when he said it would be quite a while. Ugh, she wanted it to be now!

But, what he said next excited her, and that in addition to him finally removing his paw caused her to spring up and bounce around. "Really?" she asked, briefly showing uncharacteristic emotion in her delight.

Her paws resisted his, and had he wished to he could have crushed them beneath his limb. However he allowed it and besides, he did not wish to squish his shadowy daughter. She seemed to accept his point though and he watched her bouncing around in her freedom.

A slight smile worked its way onto impassive face, amused by her complaints. "You will grow surely as the moon rises and changes its face. Do not worry about rushing it. It will come." he tells her levelly. Children were always in a hurry to grow up; responsibilities are not always fun. Her joy at his theory had him widening the slight smile to a true one. "Yes, when I am well we will find somewhere to live together." Gwyn rumbles, already quite looking forward to it for a number of reasons. Dysnomia and the other children are one(or one through three) and their mother the other. Truth be told the main one; he loved his children but his soulmate was something else entirely. That and he could hopefully get her away from the other man. A win win; he just had to find a place where they could live. Perhaps the cove? He could challenge as well but that would wait until the children were old enough to make a journey to whichever territory he picked.

She didn't want to wait, because waiting was so boring. So, so boring! But, it didn't seem as though she had any other choice in the matter. Ugh. Well, at least when daddy really did come live with them like he promised, it wouldn't be as big of a deal to grow up because then she could see him whenever she wanted, not just when mommy said she could.

"Good," she said with a decisive nod. Really, that was all she wanted in the world. Ah, how simple life was when you were so young. None of the cares that adults had, like where they were going to live, how they were going to survive. Nope, she just had to exist and grow and learn as best she could.
