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.

Tyr made his way to the border line of a pride he had once noticed in passing. Today, however, he was going to try his hand at stealth. He wanted to see if he would be able to manage infiltrating without being spotted... perhaps he may even make off with food, or perhaps a cub if there was one to be had.

He moved quietly, having rolled in a bit of muck from down stream to hide his scent and mask his bright white pelt. To someone from a bustling and prosperous pride he may simply look like a dirty rogue who had fallen on hard times... the perfect ploy if he were to get caught! For now, he crept along the pines that represented the outskirts of the pride borders. He stayed in the shadows and relied on them to break up his visage, moving with the swaying of the leaves. Once he was confident the coast was clear, he'd make his way past the border.

The children were grew older by the day, far older than he could anticipate really. He knew that they would grow and age, but not as quickly as they had. Talisa's own children were slightly older and then her second litter considerably younger; an amass of children that needed protection. A sentiment that he was thankful for as it meant that his duty as a watchful father and Lead Advisor was put to good use. Frequenting the borders as often as he could for trespassers even if the air of Vermeda was that it was a safe sanctuary for any and all. Nevertheless, he put his nose to the ground and sniffed - anticipating anything to keep busy.

An older male came sniffing around nearby. Tyr could see him, but only just... ducking behind the trees and shrubs on the outskirts. He was getting closer, closer and closer still. Finally, a crouched Tyr knew he'd been had. With a frustrated huff, and a growl in his tone Tyr stood with a dark scowl upon his features.

"Ugh... you have no idea how long I've been tracking that damn rabbit."

He lied, blaming his close proximity and quiet lurking on the notion that he was truly just trying to hunt down a very elusive prey.

"Your clomping and absently sniffing about must have surely scared it far from here by now."

He mused with a quick look around the area, trying to locate said fabled rabbit of such sneaky skill and wit. Tyr would then glare at the male with a side-eyed look, ready to see what the male would say now that he had discovered the Heathen lurking in the shadows.

Gareth lifted his head as soon as he spied the pale male and gave a very uninterested expression. One built purely on a sense of purpose and frustration, his need to protect and defend filtering through every part of his body as he took a few bold steps forward. Hearing the stranger's excuse slide past lips into ears that cared nothing for them. The rabbit and the amount of fucks I have... have something in common. The corner of his lips turn up into a vague but dark smile. They both don't exist. For there was no small of rabbit nor a trail to follow, so it was clear that this trespasser had little intent for tracking down a rabbit. Even if there were one, there were not very many prides that took to stranger's hunting through their territory. You will be going now. Find lunch elsewhere. Perhaps somewhere there aren't any other lions that are going to be clomping and absently sniffing for your impudent ass.

Tyr's scowl deepened as the man spoke, being so sure of himself that he rabbit Tyr spoke of was a falsity. And how would he know something like that? This area reeked with rabbit... they were near a brook in the middle of the forest, for the love of the Gods! He stood to square up with the rather furry male who seemed to have a rather big stick up his ass.

"Quite bold of you to imply that I am a petty liar. What makes you so sure I have a reason to lie?"

Tyr inquired with a hike of his brow as he glared into the other male's blue eyes with confidence and strength quite impressive for a yearling. Tyr was unafraid of the man before him, and Tyr intended to make that clear.

On Vermeda's soil, he was a defensive man that was going to protect his family and his family's family. There were plenty of children here as well as newborns, several women that he refused to let be robbed or taken. So with Tyr's boldness and his head-on aggression to being called a liar, Gareth could feel no other choice. Adrenaline rushing through him as he understood what he needed to do to ensure that on this day, trouble would not continue knocking.

As soon as @Tyr stood up and squared him off, then proceeding to stare into his deep blue eyes -- the challenge was on. Gareth wasted no time in springing forward with his teeth bared, attempting to grab at the left side of the other male's face, right paw stretching out in an attempt to claw at Tyr's left shoulder. While keeping all three other feet upon the ground, lashing out to protect what was his. This male had no reason to be here and if he had been tracking a rabbit, his "apology" would have felt much more sincere than it was. No adult passed through a border without a second thought.

Then something that Tyr hadn't anticipated. The man before him lunged into battle without so much as a warning! Tyr was not opposed, of course, and never did the thought of fleeing cross his mind. He met the man's aggression head-on with his own, fangs bared as he attempted to catch the flesh of his opponent's upper right shoulder tightly between his jaws. His opponent had gone for the left side of Tyr's face, and as Tyr lunged himself, he felt instead the searing pain of fangs piercing the flesh in the left side of his neck just in front of his bony shoulder.

His opponent's claws cut through Tyr's left side, just behind his shoulder after Tyr's own lunge forward. Simultaneously Tyr attempted to rake both clawed paws down his opponent's left arm as it stood to help keep the man balanced in an attempt to litter it with lacerations and make his opponent that much more unbalanced. As he did so, he would spread out his own weight upon his hind legs in order to maintain his own balance, tail swishing violently behind him.

Pointing this out that it has been reconciled that it was meant to be left and not right. Continuing forward. :)

The fight was what Gareth had been born to do and it seemed a crucial thing that Vermeda had once lacked. Proper warriors that could defend their home now that, well, invaders had come -- him being a part of that initial invasion but he had found a home swiftly in Nymeria. Just as he was going to make sure that @Tyr did not find anything except for the exit.

So when Tyr came flying at him with his jaws agape, Gareth let him. Teeth tore against his left shoulder, creating two moderate puncture wounds. The damage being done heavily based on the aggression that was displayed in the beginning of the assault. With Tyr's claws seeking his left side and leaving several minor lacerations straight down his left leg, the opportunity to cause chaos was significant, leaving Gareth no choice but to use the advantage of balance.

Gareth leaned heavier to his left, attempting to latch his claws into Tyr's left side to find solid purchase, while also attempting to make the effort to topple him to the ground by force. Wishing to topple him down onto the ground to Gareth's left, if only taking this movement because of Tyr's two legs that were on the ground while the Lead Advisor still had three.

+5 Attend a fight or challenge to asses the wounds

Tullia walked through the brook with herbs on her lips. But as she went ahead, her ears soon picked up a commotion nearby. Quick on her steps she rushed to the place unsure about what to expect . But the surprise was dire as she saw @Gareth and a stranger @Tyr engaged in a serious fight. coming late she couldn't tell what had sparked the fight but she stood there to be ready to attend her pridemate after it was done. starting to look for injuries . She hoped the advisor would be alright and she wanted to make sure of that.

Tyr had managed to make contact with the flesh of his opponent's left shoulder. The blood that wept from the wound bloomed upon Tyr's tongue, and the sensation brought the Heathen immense pleasure. At the same time, Tyr's attempt to do some damage to the male's left leg was successful as well, giving Tyr encouragement.

However, as he was enjoying his little victories, Tyr felt his opponent lean more heavily to Tyr's right and suddenly the pain of claws digging into Tyr's left side had the Heathen hissing through the flesh in his maw. He began to topple in the direction intended by his opponent, simultaneously attempting to throw his paws up to latch his claws onto the male's body (on both sides) wherever they might find purchase. He was going to try his damnedest to either maintain his balance or take his opponent with him to the ground! Tyr would release his jaws from their grip on his opponent's shoulder, and as the young Heathen fell to his hip, he attempted a forceful kick at the foreleg the other man had planted firmly on the ground. If the leg fractured or merely gave way, it made no difference to Tyr. He was simply trying to even the playing field and make his opponent a little less balanced.
