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!

The rain is slowly peetering out across the lands, though it is still heaviest in the east and lightest in the west. Thankfully, however, the temperature is steadly rising and the sun no longer hides behind the clouds. In celebration of the new season, the vegetation is alive and lush and plants are growing wildly across the valley. Spring is in the air!

Holiday Events 2023

(This post was last modified: 01-10-2024, 09:34 AM by Squid.)


Fa la la la la, la la la la! It's finally December, and we all know what that means — holiday events, woohoo! This year, we have a variety of things planned, both OOC and IC, so please make sure to read over this thread thoroughly and get involved in anything and everything that interests you!

Site-Wide Holiday Break

We are once again implementing a site-wide holiday/downtime period.

Our break period will run from December 22 to January 5.


During this time, a few things will happen:
  • All leadership requirements will be paused.
    • Prior to December 22, all pride leaders will need to have their required post counts completed (for the last 7 days), and will need to have their pride histories/pages/news up-to-date as well.
    • All leaders will have until January 9 to get their leadership requirements back up to speed. Failure to do so by this date will result in possible strikes/disbandment.
    • Any ongoing pride cooldowns will be paused during the break and the dates for them will be adjusted based on the cooldown starting back up on January 5th.
  • Pride challenges and the creation of outlaw bands will not be permitted from the start of the event, until January 11. This gives everyone time to catch up and settle.
  • The majority of the maintenance work will be voluntary for Staff members.
    • Auditions and pride updates will be prioritized to keep things flowing and to prevent limbo; other maintenance items can be done by Staff if they choose, but they will also be on break.
    • This means that there is a chance that petals, trade exp, and other requests might sit for a little longer than you’re used to — please do not poke Staff about these items between December 22 and January 2. They will be completed either when a Staff member is free and able, or after the break.
  • Ongoing fight timers will be paused. Members can choose to continue their fights during the break or pick them back up on January 5.
  • The bot will be paused during this time.
  • Do not poke other members for replies, posts, etc. This takes away from the break!

We hope that this allows the member base to enjoy the holiday season and unplug for a little while, if needed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to an Admin.

Advent Calendar

Of course, as always, we will be doing a 12 days of Christmas Advent Calendar, which will be starting on December 13.

It will work the same as it has in the past:

  • Gifts will be announced once a day for 12 days in a row, both in Discord and in a separate Advent Calendar thread.
  • You must sign-up to receive any gifts. Sign-ups will open on December 10, and you’ll be able to sign up in Discord or on-site (no need to sign up in both places). We will let everyone know when sign-ups are open!
  • To sign-up, you must have at least one active character on-site (so make sure to audition a character now, if you haven’t already)
  • Sign-ups will work as a one-time entry, where you sign-up once and are good to go for the remaining days. If you sign up on Day 1, you get prizes from Day 1-12. If you sign up on Day 5, you get prizes from Day 5-12.

A separate thread will be made to track sign-ups and prize announcements — this will go live on December 9, so we’ll see you then!

Major IC Event: The Amaryllis Winter Games

This year, we will be facilitating IC winter games! Think of it like lion olympics —every pride and band will count as their own team, and rogues will also be considered their own team so that they can participate. The goal is also very simple: amass the most amount of points by the end of the event to win!

This event will run until 11:59pm on January 10th, EST.


There will be 12 competitions, one designated for each trade, that competitors can post in. These competitions will all be initiated and posted ICly on December 5th.
  • Only characters intending to participate in the competition and be matched-up may post here. No observers.
  • Your character must be at least 1 year old to participate.
  • You can post 1 character PER pride to participate, per thread.
    • If you have 2 lions in Caladan Cove that want to participate in the Ranger Competition, you can only post 1. If you have 1 lion in Caladan Cove and 1 lion in Firnen Rainforest that want to participate, you can post them both.
  • IC sign-ups will remain open until Dec 12th. You must post to the threads before then to participate in the competition.
  • On Dec 13, every posted character will be paired up with another for the competition via the use of an NPC. After the pairs have been announced, everyone must post again in response to their match-up and insert [*roll=1d10] (without the asterisk) at the bottom of their post.
  • The character in each pair that rolls the highest number will be considered to have won their match-up. Winners will then be matched up again, and the cycle will continue every week.
    • Each round will last 1 week. Anyone who does not post by the end of the week will be defaulted out of the next match-up.
    • In the case of uneven numbers, Staff will use an NPC to balance things out.
    • In the case of a tie in a match-up, Staff will roll a tie-breaker.

There will also be 3 special cub (under 1 year old) competitions posted, so that they can participate as well. These competitions will all be initiated and posted ICly on December 5th, and follow all the same the guidelines as above.

All of the competition threads will be linked in a reply to this announcement once they are live.

Now how do you earn points, you ask? Well, let me tell you:
  • +1 - Participate in one of our weekly holiday prompts (claimable once per thread, per character)
  • +1 - Participate in a posted trade competition (claimable once per thread, per character)
  • +1 - Do a hit of damage to Lou, the Christmas Donkey (once per hit)
  • +1 - Win a match-up in a posted trade competition (claimable for each match-up that’s won)
  • +3 - Be one of the last ones standing in a posted trade competition (win the final match-up, results posted on Jan 10)

You can request earned points for your team via the “Amaryllis Winter Games Tally” channel in our Discord server, or by DMing @Squid, using the following form:
Code:
Character:
Team:
# of Points and For What:
Link:



NOTE: Exits are not needed in order to claim points.

And, of course, what does your team win if they end the event with the most amount of points?
  • Premium “Winner of the Amaryllis Winter Games” IC award
  • 3 week pride challenge cooldown (January 11-February 1)
  • In the case of a rogue or outlaw band win: +75 exp can be claimed for a character of their choosing (this is in replacement of the cooldown)

If your team wins, in order to claim any prizes your character must have contributed at least ONE point to your team throughout the event. It goes by participation, not by usergroup.

Additional IC Events: Weekly Prompts and Catch The Christmas Mule

To add a little more diversity to our holiday plans, we will also be introducing a series of holiday-related IC random events that will be posted once per week throughout the month of December, as well as a special, one-in-a-million "loot donkey" event!

1. For the weekly prompts, every will be a different event, and each week there will be 3 threads posted throughout the day to accommodate different timezones. During some weeks, special trade experience and prizes can be won from IC participation — please take the time to read the rules, found below, and understand what the different events are. If you have any questions, pleae reach out to an Admin!

    Week 1: Snowstorms ... In May???
    • This event will feature open-ended thread prompts, focused around the lands being overcome with Winter 2.0, for characters to interact with.
    • 3 separate threads, to be be posted throughout the day on December 5.
    • These threads are completely free-form.
    • Members can also make additional threads, on the side/building off of the prompts, if they would like.

    Week 2: The Giving Tree
    • This event will feature a thread prompts that is focused upon a mysterious, giant tree that has appeared in neutral lands. This gives you the chance to swap unused gifts for a random new shop item.
    • 3 separate threads, to be be posted throughout the day on December 12.
    • In your post, includes a link to an unused gift that you still have and have your character “offer” something to the tree. A random roll will be conducted, and you will be sent a random shop item in response — your gift will be considered "used" and be struck out in the log.

    Week 3: Return of the Mammoth
    • This event will feature a fan-favourite, extreme difficulty prey animal — mammoths! And it’s your job to try and take them down!
    • 3 separate threads, to be posted throughout the day on December 19.
    • Members can enter ONE character into each thread.
      • This means that you can have a maximum of 3 characters participate if you enter one in every thread). This is to ensure that everyone can participate and to avoid the farming of any trade experience.
    • All you need to do is post your character to the thread responding to the prompt.
    • On December 26, the hunt will be rolled and the hunt results will be posted. The more lions that participate, the better the odds are of taking them down!
    • A successful hunt of this caliber will award 20 bonus exp to ANY trade. This is in addition to any other trade exp that is earned during the thread.
    • You will need to exit the thread before claiming your bonus exp.

    Week 4: This Yule Log Has Something Funny In It…
    • This event will feature an IC scavenger hunt, where characters need to track down the yule logs and find out whether or not they contain any gifts!
    • 3 separate threads, to be posted throughout the day on December 26.
    • Members can enter ONE character into each thread.
      • This means that you can have a maximum of 3 characters participate if you enter one in every thread). This is to ensure that everyone can participate and to avoid the farming of any trade experience.
    • All you need to do is post your character to the thread responding to the prompt, and insert the following code into the bottom of your post:
    • Code:
      [roll=1d3]

    • That is your roll used to determine whether your character has found a prize or not.
      • Rolling a 1 = 10 exp
      • Rolling a 2 = 25 petals (to that IC account)
      • Rolling a 3 = Try again
    • You can keep posting and rolling until you have received the maximum of 5 presents per thread. (i.e. 50 exp, 125 petals, or any combination thereof).
    • These threads will be closed for rolling as of January 9th - but you can post again to exit at any time.
    • Exits are NOT required to claim your scavenger hunt gifts. You will need an exit, however, in order to claim any regular exp or petals.

2. "Catch the Christmas Mule" will be a community-wide IC event where your collective goal is to take down a very fast (and very annoying) donkey by the name of Lou. Don't ask where he came from or why he's impossible to catch — just focus on getting your paws on him.

This will all occur in 1 single thread, active from December 5 and January 10, and will follow these guidelines:
  • You can post one character per competition team to this thread. This is to keep the points balanced.
  • This does not count as a dice-rolled hunt. All characters can participate.
  • Lou has 250 health.
  • To participate, all you need to do is post to the thread and include [*roll=1d2] in your post. Rolling a 1 counts as a hit, and rolling a 2 counts as a failure.
  • You can post multiple times with the same character, but you need to wait at least 2 days between each post and roll. This is to prevent spamming - you need to all work together!

On January 11, the results will be tallied and posted. If you all succeed in getting Lou’s health to 0, all participants can claim +100 exp (to be used on a character of your choice).

Christmas Tree Decorating Contest

And finally, we hope to get everyone’s creative juices flowing with an OOC event that we hope you will enjoy. Let your imagination soar with this Christmas Tree Decorating Contest and make it as extravagant, classic, or chic as you’d like.

We have a few F2U templates you can use:

here, here, and here


There are no prizes for this, it’s purely just for fun! Feel free to post them here, in response to this thread, when you have them done!

Discord Posting

We once again have started up the money bot on discord to let you earn some petals while talking with other members! See the discord announcement for more information!
