Happy 2021 to all! Big thank you for hanging out and being awesome for the first two-ish months of the site. It's been fun so far, looking forwards to a lot this year! If you haven't seen, after a delay, the last day of the advent can be claimed now (here). You have three choices for your last advent prize including a second chance at a creature pass. That's right we have creatures coming to Aesseldar now! Be sure to check the announcement for any rule clarifications if you're interested. Last big bit of news we do have our light layout "in the mist" ready to be used. There will still be tweaks and color changes coming in the next week or so by the fantastic dusk so don't be afraid if things look a little different.

Congratulations to Zay for winning the pride raffle with Runar! Welcome our new pride, Adamo Autumna! Don't forget to keep posting in the advent to claim your awesome prizes, and within the next few days you'll see some additional posts cropping up in the ooc areas. We'd love some feedback on the site and will be adding an area for feedback and suggestions. We will also be adding a thread to post all your open threads. Another fantastic surprise is that Koafox (some of you may know her as Miranda from other sites) has said we are welcome to use their table switcher plugin. As soon as I get the files we will be integrating that into the site for everyone to enjoy!

TWO news posts back to back my oh my stuff must be brewing! We wanted to let everyone know that the third pride slot has opened. Unlike the other slots we wanted to give everyone a chance to go for it as well, so we'll be raffling it! In order to enter the raffle please DM an admin or the Eoin account with your OOC and which character you'd like to enter the raffle with. The only requirement that has to be met is that the character must be 2 years of age or older (meaning that number of posts and feathers doesn't matter). So get your entries in, the more the merrier as we head into the new year! The other exciting news is that our neutral/lighter colored layout will be out by the end of the year, thanks to the lovely dusk!

Thank you so much everyone for a fantastic first month opening. We wanted to thank you all and let you know that we've decided to extend the grand opening bonuses for one more week, so you can bring in your first three characters free through 12/11! In other news our first contests have started and we couldn't be more excited! You may participate in the following, if you haven't already partaken: Advent Calendar, Superlatives, Advertising Contest, OTMs, and the Writing Contests. We'll be releasing another update soon with some super fun surprises, but some of Eoin's events have drawn to an end and it appears some new boards may start popping up! Expect to see more of Eoin, as well as some adjustment to the event threads, for some of the future boards as well!

11/28/2020 Staff
As we bring another week to close we'd like to welcome everyone to participate in our first contest! The Advertising contest is up and provides some really great rewards, as well as participation rewards! Coming soon are the first set of OTMs and superlatives, a writing contest, a sneak peak at our more refined skills system, and a few other small updates. Happy weekend everyone!

12/15/2020 Eoin
With three new terrains open and a third pride staking a claim once more, our mischievous deity Eoin appears to be up to no good again. The quake that cracked open the mountain and closed it once more was felt around the lands, and three new terrains popped open. Tryphosa Shore now has an Atoll sub-board, and there is a Desert and a Rift board. Several more will be coming... but first Eoin will make an impression.

11/17/2020 Eoin
The rainforest trembles, as if fighting back against those who dare to occupy it. The lands of Aesseldar are still only half-tamed, unfettered and unwilling to give way to any aspiring King, any growing empire. And just as quick as King Barnabas came to lay claim to it did it begin to push back, forcing his fledgling pride out with an unforgiving downpour, and a bitter resentment of the creatures that dwell within. With one pride felled, it leaves the opportunity for another to rise from the ashes.

11/4/2020 Eoin
It happened on a hot, humid night. No one there to witness it. Somewhere, surely, it could be heard. The start of a crack. The sound vibrating from mountain top to valley dips. It was a long and dreadful noise. Somewhere in the mountains, somehow, one of the peaks had collapsed. An impassible tower of sharpened points- gone. Snow, with the hidden rocks from the destruction, slid down the slopes that were formed by ages. A wave of white forced outward to cover all below. At first it is still much too dangerous to traverse. But with time the new ground settles and with it comes- a pass. On the other side awaits a land untouched by the curious paws. The lands of Aesseldar have been revealved and somewhere down below three pridelands sit empty, awaiting for eager travelers to start staking their claims. Please refer to the grand opening announcement for information on how to claim a pride slot and fully customize it, since there are some grand opening bonuses or exceptions that are not referenced in the guidebook! We would also love to let everyone know that any official in-character news that gets posted in this "in-character" section of the layout is going to be considered common knowledge for any character in-game. Consider it like an in-character bulletin board! We will keep it updated with relevant and applicable information and hope it helps inspire your plots.

With spring the clouds begin to disperse and the warmer weather begins and new life blooms. With new lands having been discovered there is a plethora of places for the lions to explore and yet somehow that mischievous site deity never seems to stop bringing the surprises, some of which include occasional inclement weathers. Temps varying between 45°-80°F (7°-27°C).

Vorri,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Azzy
Large paws carry a woman who shows no weaknesses. Her body a goliath - a giant - compared to those of her sex. But nothing stops her. Mossy green jewels watch her surroundings but not with eagerness or weariness, but with no emotion as she keeps herself stoic and expressionless. This place is filled with others - she knows and assumes - but has yet to truly meet another. Though even as she treads the shrub land before her in a lazy walk, Vorri knows she is never truly alone. The Great Stallion watches over her and the Quest she has set herself upon. There is little shade here but she knows shade will not help her keep the cold fingers of the night away from her bones. So, Vorri keeps traveling knowing she will find shelter before night falls, though mossy jewels glance through her braids to the sun high in the sky behind clouds teasing to rain but never falls.
Vorri is rated M for Mature. Thread and read at your own risk. Vorri also does not know the common tongue very well if at all, she will either talk in grunts, her native Dothraki tongue, or in actions until she does learn the common tongue.

- set a ways into Vorri's travels -

The open plains sprawled out before him, like a vast ocean of tundra shrubs that carried on for endless miles against the backdrop of the mountains in the far distance midday falling to evening. A chill of winds mercilessly blowing across the open expanse, hitting everything in its path and sending chills to rush over the mans flesh. He sighs, not exactly content in the place he'd found to settle for the night - but he knew that there would be no reaching the foothills nor the mountain; nor back to the swamp on the other side before nightfall anyway. So he lay there, belly eventually warming the tussocks beneath him, brilliant blue eyes cast out at the horizon and the grey canvas of sky that eventually began to sprinkle droplets of water upon his head.

Pan frowned, gazing up at the onslaught of the incoming rain that dappled his back and face. His claws absently sinking into the earth as he gave a huff of annoyance to the sky. Eventually his eyes would drift back to his painted open expanse, but this time when his blue eyes drifted back another lion had managed to sneak up upon him! Their frame still lingering far in the distance; he wondered if they'd even noticed him, Pan nearly jumped to his feet. Giving a short shake of his head as a drop of water hit one ear, he would take a few short bursts toward the stranger, "hey!" he called as he continued to close the space between them, picking up his pace "hey, wait up!" he rumbled again, the closer her got the bigger the other lion became.

"hey, where are ya headed?" He asked with a huff as he sought to catch his breath, aiming to playfully bump his head into the other lions shoulder.

Vorri,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Azzy
She was content to walk on her own, away from the swamplands and towards the mountains. Granted she had been keeping an eye at the sun and where it was going, even behind the dark clouds that had gotten dark by the minute. Rain droplets hit her back and head, causing her to stop and glance upwards with a curl of her lip that would never cover her sabers. A growl formed but it was soft, to soft for the male that caught up with her. Ears twitching as she had kept walking before his voice had grown louder and stronger causing her to stop and turn to look in the direction of the males voice. He was smaller than she, if only by a few feet in height between them and different weight as well. She was built like a tank with curves. A beauty that will forever be in beast mode. He spoke to her in the common tongue she never cared to learn and was given a blank look before turning back towards the mountains. No, she wasn't ignoring him but she didn't completely understand him. Vorri also didn't care how he would take that either.

She hardly acknowledged him, only pausing to give him a half glance before continuing on her trek, Pan grinned though, his short lynx tail shifting as he took her silence as an invitation for tolerance. He padded after her, clumsily attempting to push his weight into her in an affectionate, playful manner. She didn't have to talk that was fine, he was just happy to have some company out in the empty wastes of the steppes. "The mountains huh?" he wondered aloud, unsure if he was really talking to her or talking to himself at this point. He gave a light chuff, attempting to once more rub his head against her, not really caring if his small horns grazed her skin in the process as he followed close. If she did not draw away from him.

He touched her again and Vorri felt her skin crawl. She was not used to another's touch and her parents along with every other Dothraki never touched with gentleness but instead with fierce claws that dug into the flesh. At first she held her ground, unsure of what these gestures meant before he seemed to follow her and only get c l o s e r. It caused the giant of a woman to cross her steps so that she was a few steps between them and gave him a look though her face did not turn towards him. He talked again but this time there was one word that she was able to understand; mountains. Ears twitched as Vorri would grunt at him with a small word; Ai, Mountains." It was clear she didn't understand much of the common tongue with her thick accent.

Pan remained oblivious to the womans avoidance, he continued on in his air of ignorance, hardly even catching the look she gave him as anything more than a side ways acknowledgement. Finally though, after he seemed to catch onto a word she would find worthy of a response she answered him, with a gruff and simple response. "Ai, Mountains." she rumbled, and Pan was just now beginning to get the idea that maybe she didn't understand everything he was saying to her. "well..." he rumbled, letting his eyes drift away from the woman briefly and off to the mountains that loomed in the distance.

"I could come with you!" he boasted suddenly, his head shooting up with excitement about the idea. He bounded forward a few strides, hoping that his antics would help her understand what he meant.

Well he didn't touch her again and she was completely fine with that. She didn't like being touched and even now she walked at a pace that was suitable to her and her large frame regardless of him. However, he began to jump up and down and it caused her to stop and watch him with a raised eyebrow and a look of well; disgruntle. She still didn't understand him but it also seemed like he wasn't going to leave her alone so Vorri grunted and began walking again. Like really could you please leave me alone? No, probably not. How could she voice her discomfort if he couldn't understand her and vice versa? It was frustrating truly but eventually Vorri would figure out how to speak the common tongue. You know once she allowed someone else to teach her. Even that was a thought that she just wasn't comfortable with really.
