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!

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.

Spring Y11
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).

It would seem that other than the lake, the rest of the lands so far were harsh and dreary. Nothing was able to remind her of home, just yet. However, she did not let that be a shadow over her mood. She kept a positive outlook. Sure that much more lay in waiting for her to discover. A whole new world that she wanted to desperately share, or conquer, with her crewmates.


There was one, in particular, she looked for today. They had split shortly before she stumbled inside this new kingdom of sort and had failed to reunite. Being separated from her siblings for so long was not a usual thing for the trio. She climbed the small rise with much effort. The loose gravel did not allow her to traverse the territory so easily. As she reached the top, her smile dissipated. There was still nothing.


Head lulled back and she called out. A long, slightly demanding sound that urged her sister to find her. In the vast expanse of open land, she lowered her slate bodice to wait.

She and her siblings had stumbled upon this new land and split up to do their own thing. She herself had left in search of herbs, always looking to find new herbs and learn what they could do. It was a bit of a hobby, and the job she had when it came to her kin. A self-assigned job, but one none the less. So intrigued in the new herbs she found, she did not notice how long it had been until she heard a distant roar. It was familiar and she gathered the large make-shift sack – made of a large leaf- in her jaws gently before heading in the direction of the call.


It took her quite a bit to reach the rough lands, dreary and desolate. Nostrils flares, easily picking up the familiar scent of her sister. Large paws carried the slate hued female in that direction, quickly. Of course, this quick pace was hindered by the gravel as she attempted to follow her sister's path up the hill but eventually, she got there. Gaze locking upon her sister's familiar figure and she basically pranced over there, before dropping her findings at her sister's feet. "Look what I found." Head was held proudly, waiting for her sister's reaction.

She had almost begun to second guess that her sister had even arrived fully since they had split right before they came through the mountain pass. Worry had just started to settle in her stomach when she heard it. The distant pounding of paws against the ground. A pattern that she could almost trace back in any given situation.

Her sister joined her upon the expanse and Rue was visibly thrilled. Toes wiggled in the muddy grass mixture as gaze followed what was dropped before them. Of course, her sister seen something far more interesting. Rue tried a smile, though confusion was evident as well. "Yo ho! Ye found... grass!"

Grass?! Grass?! Ugh why did her sister never understand her odd obsession with herbs? A low huff escaped her vocals as she shook her head, peering down at her sister. "Grass? No, no. Herbs. Ye use em to heal." She explained as patient as ever. She respected her sister after all, and thus kept her annoyance under wraps when speaking to her. Strangers however were not awarded the same common courtesy. "If ye were hurt. This one I believe helps pain." She explained, nudging the root looking things she had collected. She was unsure what it was called, but the plant she pulled it from looked similar to ones she'd seen in other lands they had visited.

Rue grimaced just slightly as sister exclaimed what it was. Of course, she figured that's what they were, but beyond that, she was unable to decipher one blade of grass from the other thing that looked like a blade of grass as well. Sometimes they even came with flowers on them. However, despite her lack of medic knowledge, she was at least aware of how valuable it could be if she retained it. It was all information that she had never seen important. Who had time to learn when there was a world of adventure just beyond her grasp?

Mouth formed a slight 'o' in expression as she stared down at it all still. A pain reliever? Eyes moved from the foliage to the root. "When I find us an anchorin' land, we shall needs t' stock up on it then." She figured it might come in handy, especially when they knew so little about the others that roamed here. "Wha' else do ye 'ave ther'?" Perhaps it was time to finally get a new interest.

It was a passion of hers and she enjoyed it, finding herbs. Of course, there were times that she found poisons instead of herbs, but that was beside the point. Standing there before her sister explaining what she had found was also something she enjoyed. Nodding when it was said they needed to stock up once they found a place to settle down. "I will collect them when we do." Next her sister asks what else she has and she can only beam before looking at her collection to see what else there was. "There are many herbs that help with pain and such. Like this one here." She pointed towards a small white flower with a yellow center. "It helps when one is delirious with fever. It lowers it." It would come in handy fighting illnesses, but she also needed to show her sister the next one. "This one helps cure wounds of infections." She pointed to a pink hued flower with a large red bulb in the middle.

She tried to remain interested, despite the urge her brain gave to run off or start a play fight. She kept her eyes locked on the herbs that her sister further explained. Her gaze went to each one that she pointed out. A weak smile still on her lips. "Hopefully, I 'member this." She gave a light-hearted chuckle. However, she was finally forced to step back and change the subject gently. After all, she had a purpose in this land and once her mind was set, Rue was hard to let go. "Tell me, 'ave ye seen our brother yet? Or th' rest o' th' crew?" She questioned. She wondered just how far out they still were, or if they had already entered. Though she wasn't entirely sure her sister would even know.

She knew her other siblings werent as interested in herbs or as entertained by finding new ones. So she was not surprised by her sisters comment about hopefully remembering them. To each their own she supposed, but that was why she had self assigned herself to be the healer of the crew, because of her interest in the herbs. Someone had to keep the fevers and infections away, right?! "Jus' Dont go eatin' any herbs without askin' me." She told her sister, half joking but mostly serious. Some that looked like herbs, could be poisonous. Which would not end well.


The question about their brother had her shaking her head slightly. "Haven't seen him. Or the rest of the crew." She responded, turning her attention to her find and gently folding the leaf back up. "Any luck on your part?" She knew her sister had her own mission when they arrived, and while she should have been helping … were either of them really surprised she got distracted by herbs?

Rue let out a chuckle at the joking advice her sister had given. Along with a quick nod in response. She wasn't too fond of eating herbs even when she did to do it, so she didn't mind avoiding the task when she didn't. The remark on the others caused Rue to lift her gaze and shift it over the flatter parts of the territory. Surely they were out there somewhere. She just hoped they didn't make too much of a fuss without her. After all, Rue loved to be in the middle of it all.


She let a shoulder rise and fall in a simple shrug. "Some. This place be Aesseldar, but nah sure on th' rest. Most lands are lackin' in proper shelter 'n huntin' ground so far." She mumbled off what she had managed to find. Of course, she hadn't explored every nook and cranny as of yet. But in due time she would have it all mapped out and known.
