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.

If Arkyn was one thing, it was being persistent. He never took losses personally, always seeing them as a lesson and stepping stone in helping to better himself and sharpen his skills. He took those losses and mulled them over in his mind, replaying the battles and remembering things he should and shouldn't do the next time around. He knew in the end that fate would ultimately win, but would it be in his favor today would be the biggest question.

He moves closer to the ocean pride's borders, nose sniffing the air and catching not a feminine scent overpowering the rest but a masculine one, causing for a brow to raise. Did another take over Caladan in between his loss and now? Or did the woman he had fought have a significant other that took her place? As curious as he was, the Viking would quiet his mind and calm his nerves; it didn't matter which one he fought in the end, as long as he was the hopeful victor today. Yellow eyes peer into pride territory before he pushes past the invisible boundary, releasing several deep chested and loud roars to call out to whoever it was he had to fight today.

And if he lost here today, he would continue to come back until his birthland was under his control.

there was always this stickiness that clung to the air of shore prides. mixed in with the salt made it worse; her nose twitched and itched constantly but she couldn't sneeze. faustine felt annoyed, but she trudged onwards until her paws touched the sands below. she noticed the male lion and the incoming lions, but none of whom she was familiar with. faustine took to the rocks that laid strewn across the pride and began to slide her claws down them, eager with anticipation for a good long fight. it would not be a bad idea if others broke out due to the challenger's presence; perhaps a war would suffice too.

olympia had her bag overstuffed with premade salves bundled into evergreen leaves and cushioned between palm leaves. she was warned about the potential feud that could happen in the midst of a pride challenge and was she glad she wouldn't be swept up in it. to play it safe, olympia sat farther behind the border, in a position where she could still see the challenge. to her surprise, not a lot of lions had come. all she saw was a green swamp teen who looked like she was ready to eat both challengers and some other nameless, forgettable lions. being among a crowd wasn't her favorite, but olympia would rather use her skills for good than keep them to herself. o' spirits of the land, please guide these lions to the end; allow their claws to be sharp and their minds clear. it was certainly more tactful and official sounding, but the truth was that she made the blessing up as she went.

His children were hardly weaned by the time @Arkyn returned for the pride. Kvare wasn't sure what to think of it; Sunder had given him enough of an ass-whooping that he'd half-expected the boy to crawl off to attempt after another pride. But, like most men, there was some level of persistence. Kvare had kept his promise and had produced heirs who'd just as much claim to the throne as this man, and he would fight fiercely to defend it. He was thankful, perhaps, that it were not Sunder who had to face him this time. Ragged and raw from all the hunting and sparring he'd done in the last few weeks, the Caladan King felt as achingly ready as he didn't. But he'd little choice in the whole affair. There would always come a day when he would have to fight for what was his.

He gave not the chance to speak, to sit around and bicker with their words. Arkyn were here for a fight, and Kvare would eagerly oblige. Thus, his approach was wordless; the challenger's intentions were clear, and there was no need to waver from his path. He aimed to approach the man head-on, emerging from the bushes at the last moment but not attempting to directly hide or ambush him. If he were able to clench the distance between he and his opponent, he would lift his right paw, and attempt to swipe it toward Arkyn's head; his claws were fully extended, aiming to start his swipe just beneath Arkyn's left ear.

She had known that this day would come. Arkyn had mentioned that he would be back when she defeated him the first time, and always his voice had been nagging in the back of her mind. Had kept her on edge until he would fulfill that promise. It would have been naive of her to expect that he would stay away, and this time he would not be met by her own claws but by her husband's. Sunder makes her way towards the borders again, her eyes immediately landing on the hulking frame of the not-stranger. He looked the same as the last time, with the few addition of light scars that she'd given him. Her's had faded as well but they were still there, the most prominent being on her right cheek. Sunder would move to sit only a few paces back from @Kvare and Arkyn, her eyes glued to her husband. The cubs were tucked in safe in the den, but she wouldn't leave them for long. She had faith Kvare would protect them, but if some godforsaken reason they lost today she'd scoop them all up and leave for the Summit, immediately. There was no room for emotions, not yet at least. Sunder would raise her muzzle, sending out a few chuffs to the others in the pride; @Skjol, @Lagertha, @Typhoon and @Sabran. Her swords, she knew they would come and would wait eagerly. Keeping a steady eye on the borders she flickers between the fight and the pridelands, surveying it all stoically for the time being.

He no longer knew the politics of the land. Although he doubted much had changed in the past few months, he was never one to turn down the opportunity to learn a thing or two about the current political landscape. For what felt like the first time in a very, very long time, Nero attended a challenge without worry that he would be attacked -- or worse yet, that any of his kin would be. The rogue albino rested just outside the borders and listened to the commotion, intrigued but unwilling to trespass.

Unless he started seeing a bunch of others do it, in which case he would absolutely fucking trespass. Yessir.

She'd been waiting, oh yes she had. Ever since that day the last challenger had been defeated. He'd said he would return and so he did. The warrior queen stretched, moving from her casual walk along the border into a trot, then to a run. Was she eager to see him fall again? Perhaps. Though more than anything, she was itching for a fight herself.

By the time she was being called, she was already almost upon them. Closing in, she slowed again to a trot, fur raising on the back of her neck, down her back. With a vicious snarl she stalked the border, fangs bard at anyone who dared to step too close. Cold emerald gaze landed on @Faustine first. She remembered the girl, but this was not the passage and so the girl was met with a greeting of bared fangs. A warning to stay away. As her gaze wandered she took note of @Olympia and @Nero beyond the borders and for the time being she seemed satisfied that they appeared to respect the borders. But eyes narrowed in a cold glare. They were safe, for now. But it wasn't hard to guess that the pale, scarred lioness wouldn't hold anything back should they decide to cross.

Eventually she came to a halt next to @Sunder and brushed her nose against her cheek in a small gesture of affection. While her friend was sitting, she stood at her side. Her guardian, her shieldmaiden to command.

How anyone could enjoy the sand, she'd never understand. She'd been sitting on a stone, sulking and thinking about how one would get sand out of fur. So itchy on her skin, especially with the salt lingering on the breeze. But then her ears perked up, still such an odd feeling. A call. A challenge?

Intrigued, the dark lioness slipped off her perch and towards the water, letting it soak into her fur as she moved along the shore before finding the forest border where she rolled in the dirt and leaves until she was satisfied with how the dirt covered her. Disgusting. But it had to be done. The scent along the border was easily found. It smelled very strongly of a male and other lions, really hard to miss. A smirk tugged on her lips as she brushed against the scent posts until she was more than content with how the scent was clinging to her. Surely no one would be able to tell that she didn't truly belong.

Only once she was satisfied did she moved towards the commotion. Not many lions seemed to be present for the time being, but that suited her just fine. Perhaps their attention would remain on the fight and she'd go largely unnoticed. Dancing along the border in graceful steps, she let her dark eyes wander, studying the lions that were present. Though eventually she settled on a stone that seemed to be partially inside the border, but with most of it on the neutral side. With a small huff she sat down, her tail flicking behind her as she let her gaze linger on the two fighters.

As he waits his body slips into its defenses. His muscles tense and his neck lowers slightly to align with his spine, shoulders rolling up and forward and claws unsheathing themselves and sinking into the packed sand below. He stayed alert, eyes shifting while a couple lions appeared. Ears twist forward before falling back upon his skull as he caught sight of his opponent, watching as he came from behind bushes and charge the Viking head on. He would brace himself, fully awaiting the impact, eyes narrowing on his target.

As Kvare raises his right forepaw Arkyn attempts to take a step toward him, wanting to try to close any sort of distance between them. His left shoulder leads with this movement, attempting to shove it squarely into the man's chest right as he feels claws dig into the skin below his left ear, dragging down the side of his face. The sting of open wounds brings a snarled hiss from the beast, blood beginning to drip down and to the sandy ground. His jaws attempt to snap in the direction of Kvare's right limb then, attempting to gain a grasp of the lion by the the wrist, to bite down with as much force as he could place behind it.

The girl was steadily exploring around the fields when she had heard the call for a challenge. Thankfully, it wasn't the pride that she and her her twin had just joined and that was enough relief for her. So she began to mosey her way towards the Cove -- taking note of the sunshine that was beaming down but thankfully, they were entering into winter so it was as though the sun wasn't shining at all. It was just bright as hell but in the very least, she could rest assured knowing that she wasn't going towards the coast just to find rain and storms.

Moving closer to the Cove, of course, she knew better than to traipse in. There weren't enough lions present currently to go unnoticed in the majority. It was better that she stay outside the borders, but she could at the very least get an idea right? So Daneri began to trail the borders of the Cove and moved as it did, taking in the scent of the leaders that lived within including the one that she could scarcely see down near the main stage. Just beyond them an open sea that beckoned her like a sea siren's call. It's waves looked magical as they crashed along some rocks surrounded by the water and slowly lapped at the shores.

Daneri shook her head; focus. Clearing her throat quietly she continued her wanderings of the borders. Learning her limits and getting more acquainted with the leaders without actually having to be social and mingle.
