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?

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.

The impact against his neck rattled her skull and blurred her vision, but Myra ultimately got what she wanted, though not quite in the way she'd wanted. A sharp gasp escaped her lips, just barely swallowing back the cry of pain that wanted to spill out as Aquila tore the flesh off her neck, leaving behind bleeding patches of exposed flesh. She drew her head back instinctively, wincing as the movement agitated her new wounds.

Her claws carved a bloody path, but his leg soon escaped her grasp, reaching out to return the favor. She hissed as stinging pain opened up in left armpit, effectively rendering her unable to use her left forelimb unless she wanted to feel his claws tear further into the soft flesh. She tried to swipe at his right forelimb with her own right paw, claws unsheathed, in an effort to dislodge his hold.

Deciding that the pain of her wounded neck was worth enduring for the sake of seeing this through, Myra would attempt to snake her head towards his face, fangs flashing as she tried to snap for anything she could reach. Nose, cheek, lips...Anything would do, so long as she got to taste his blood.

Nero was glad when his crimson gaze fell across the familiar form of @Hiccup. His expression softened noticeably, though apparently not quick enough for his friend to have missed it -- bollocks. At the end of the day, Nero frequently wore a grumpy expression and no one should have been surprised to see him scowling. Hiccup was too intuitive to let that happen, however, and the Sigrún huffed a small sigh. Just worried about you. I'm glad I found ya.. or you found me, I guess. Semantics. It wasn't important, anyway. Are you alright? I'm here for you, okay? Nero attempted to gingerly nose his cheek, doing his best to reassure him that everything would be okay. That Roan guy seems tough. He'll kick that gross Mire lion's ass, you'll see. The albino nodded sagely, fully believing in it.

Another call rang out for a pride and the shieldmaiden made her way towards the call. Catching @Aquila scent among others that held the Brook to their Pelt. Claws ticked on the ground, leaving behind marks in the ground as she found the growing crowd. Aquila was already in a fight with an unknown woman but there were others she could group with. Sea foam jewels spotting @Morrigan ♔ and so the viking moved towards the woman. Dipping her head in greeting as Astrid would glance around. I am out of loop of things, please explain. Her gaze turned then to Morrigan herself. She wanted to know who was allies and who was an enemy.

Her right forepaw landed some sharpened swipes along his own right forelimb, adding horizontal and diagonal cuts to the verticals. All seeping blood down onto the ground around his splayed toes and obsidian dust. He did not relent this grip however and in return it was easy for her claws to sink in and cement a grip of their own into the mid section of his upper right forelimb.

The grab for his face landed around the left side of his jaw, her teeth wrapping and succeeding in grabbing, piercing, through the flesh along the left upper jaw and his lips. Her bottom landed partly in his jaws, breaking gums open and one particular canine coming dangerously close to breaking through the upper pallette of his mouth. Aquila aimed to return the favor, without thinking much the consequences he aimed to close his own jaw tight and attempted to grab onto her lower jaw. Every little movement of his mouth making the hold she had gained worse for him, making wounds wider and all the more painful.

Her claws catch in copper-toned flesh, lodging deep enough into his muscular forearm to stick. He didn't let go of her like she'd wanted, but that's fine because she doesn't plan to let go either. If she hurt, then he would hurt. It seemed a fair, honorable trade to her.

She does indeed get a fresh taste of his blood, her teeth breaking through the flesh of his delicate lips. In a stroke a luck she can scarcely believe, her bottom jaw wedged itself between both of his own, allowing her access to his tender, vulnerable gums. She seized the opportunity to try to maximize the damage as much as possible, trying to clamp down harder and grind her fangs into his flesh.

Aquila's fangs clamped onto her own lower jaw from the outside, puncturing the flesh deeply enough to make her fear that his fangs would poke through to the inside of her mouth. But she is unwilling to let go, even as the pain grows steadily more intense. Would he release just because she did? Doubtful. Aquila was only hurting himself more this way, at least.

Soon enough though, her lower jaw felt numb with pain, and she could no longer maintain the pressure. Having been forced to release his face, her efforts turned back to her grip on his right forelimb, and she attempted to shove against it hard with her right forepaw. She tried to shove her left shoulder into it at the same, a pained sound falling from her lips as her own movement tore open bloody streaks where his claws were still lodged in her armpit. If only his leg would break before she did, she would be satisfied.

// @Ástríðr
// +5 Mark a trail through a territory
// +5 Practice covering your scent

Pandora followed her wife in silence, finding her side safer and she just didnt want to get any far from her. She trails after her, not before washing her scent with water before she came. Having her coat wet but it didnt bother her a lot. She finds her mate within the crowd, icy eyes falling on those nearest to the Viking. She said nothing, she just lays down nearby but not too much to bother those she was talking to, placing her chin over her frontal paws, Jerrik her soon right behind her. Her ears moving around as noises came through, eyes lurking, aware of her surroundings, she didnt want to be attacked by somone. She wasnt a fighter, she never wanted to.

He’d barely finished crossing the windy beach that served as a bridge between worlds and already there was chaos looming on the horizon like a menacing storm. It was a vicious roar — not thunder — that rumbled across the parched land and coaxed Whisper in. The territory and those who called it home were unfamiliar to him, but he knew there was a learning opportunity to be had, if he could avoid their detection. Whisper wanted to see them at their worst. That would show him who they truly were.

Quietly, the speck of a lion padded across the dark desert, using the heavy shadows cast by the mountain to conceal his approach. He brushed by rocks as he passed them, to steal their scent as a means to cover his own. The border was disregarded, and it was clear by the individual scents that overlapped it, he was not the only intruder. Whisper made sure to follow the foothills though, at least until the crowd came into view. From there, he climbed higher, scaling the mountain so he could find a better view of the battle.

As he slipped behind a hefty boulder, he pressed his belly down into the gravel, laying prone. He hoped that between the deep shadows and the distractions below, it would be enough to keep their focus elsewhere.

Whisper is trying to hide!

Due to scarring on his throat, WHISPER seldom speaks. When he does, it is very raspy and very, very quiet. Your character is free to assume that he is completely mute.

He continues to be on alert, especially when a fight starts around him - just as he knew they would. Attention would be redirected to watch as Aquila found himself engaged in a battle with a Mire lioness, eyes narrowing as he watched the two of them throw their attacks. His blood begins to pump faster in his veins, the rushing sound very slowly beginning to block out the rest of the world around him within his ears, whiskers twitching as shoulders roll. It would be then that he notices @Morrigan ♔ and @Nero making their way to the gathering, feeling now as if he needed to corral the albino lion to his side so that he didn’t have to seek revenge once again for a broken bone. He would let out a deep and gruff chuff toward the Heir, trying to coax both he and the boy he were talking to over toward him. But whether or not he would hear or abide was another thing.

When @Sanson came to his side would the obsidian man give his brother a nod of his head, watching him for a moment. A huff would escape flared nostrils as Keir’s attention went back to Roan and his opponent, the same line repeating in his head over and over: ’Beat this fucker.’ He needed the Hodari man to continue on his winning streak for Obsidian; him and Vitala needed a stable place and this was the most stable of prides within Amaryllis, aside from Vermeda.

He has her jaw there, she has his. Spilling from his mouth came a macabre red flow, it wavered his attention and consciousness. Like drool it pooled around his teeth, filled the cavities of his mouth and he tasted his own blood mixing ceremonious with hers on his tongue. He wanted to shake his head, to worsen wounds but even the smallest of movements were painful and he, with some relief, instead released his grasp as she did hers.

Pressure built on his forelimb, her extra pressure building. Driving wounds deeper, wider, and staining on the muscles. The bones. He tried to flex against her, to meet her shoulder with his (taking a bruise from the impact) and he attempted to shove her away and off of his limb without having to relent himself.

It was not every day that a call such as that rang out, causing his father to storm out of the mire. Bruno perked up from his log, having recently grown too large to fit inside and instead opting to sprawl out across the top like a tired cowboy. Though his stomach tightened at the unknown of what this could mean, it was almost involuntary the way his paws steadily began to shuffle on after his father. If he had stopped to consider that the last time this had happened his mother had never returned alive, he might not have gone at all.

The terrain became increasingly more sparse until eventually, they were out in the open, only the stars above for company as Bruno loped along at a good distance behind Alaric. Mire muck turned gradually into the harsh cool of stone against his paws until finally, they approached what seemed to be a crowd nestled among some cliffsides. Sour stone – he knew that smell. Bruno blinked as he gazed around the scene, noting that his father had already been drawn into a conversation tenser than he thought was suitable for a cub's intrusion.

Trailing around behind the backs of them, he finally spotted a group of adolescents – boys. Certainty pricked at him in a rare show as he strode to try and approach from Tai's free side, his berry-hued coat an easy giveaway even in the shadows.

"This is your hole?" He questioned with a mischievous gleam in his gaze, entirely missing the gravity of the situation. He stared sideways at a fight having erupted within the group of mire members in the crowd.
