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!

Keep an eye out soon for those. Also it appears that Eoin has been wandering around Aesseldar and may be up to no good... best get checking on his apperances for some good old fashion fun, and maybe even a sweet surprise!

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).

Lioness of Prideless
Played by violetta

meet me in the pale moonlight
blue's statement could easily match helayne's. lionesses with no direction and nothing better to do. nothing to tie them down or obligations to look after. why not see everything they could see? inspect places that nobody's set their eyes on? it could be entertaining, if not life-changing. she hummed thoughtfully. hela was logical and uncertain, traits that likely saved her. but now, they were holding her back. sparking anxiety in her chest that threatened to overwhlem her. leave her sitting in this forest for somebody else to stumble across her, that might be far less friendly. just get over yourself.

a fool is a fool, she laughed breathlessly, all the air from her lungs taken with the worry of an awkward turn this conversation might take. would you like to explore with me then?

Blue,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Plymouth


A fool is a fool. "True." At the end of the day, a fool was a fool was a fool. The woman was right about that. Blue found it somewhat amusing as well but she didn't outwardly laugh and nor did she smile. Her amusement was firmly internal.

Her surprise was as well when the other lioness asked if she wanted to travel together. Well, she certainly wasn't expecting that. Blue didn't know that another lion would want to have her around for extended periods of time, alone. Was she that tolerable? She guessed so, since Helayne wasn't running to get away from her. Or perhaps it was purely for survival. Someone this small couldn't have it easy defending themselves... or perhaps she was having trouble with prey as well. It would certainly be beneficial to travel with someone else. Blue could not deny that... and though this wouldn't be a pride it was still a better thing than being alone.

What if the little lioness attacked her in her sleep? Or what if she actually turned out to be like her old pridemates?

Hmm... the latter she could just go on her own way again. The former? Was more problematic. Maybe she should sleep with one eye open or wait until the other went to sleep first... Or should she even worry about such things when the other lion was so small... Or maybe the other wouldn't bother because a two-lion partnership would be beneficial for her as well. The simplest answer usually was the correct one.

"Sure." She said at last, after having a moment of deliberation. "Easier to hunt. Easier to watch for danger." Always examining the practical and realistic sides of things, the blue woman was.

Then the blue woman would peer around at the fog-laden landscape that obscured the abundant wildlife around them. "Explore here together?" Since she was sure that's what they'd both be doing separately. So why not do it together now?

the moments that it took blue to decide were somewhat nerve-wracking, but helayne respected them, all the same. any immediate response would've made her wonder if she made the wrong decision. think things through: a motto the lioness just came up with. she'd repeat it from here on out.

then, her new companion agreed, and it was a subtle weight hela could now shake off her shoulders. she nodded, a smart decision in the long run. her journey might've become easier, that was another win for today. maybe she was cut out for a life of adventures? she smiles, subtle and light. helayne has needed a partner for a long time.

she also needed a friend.

the woman glanced around. covering every inch of the woodlands would be no easy feat. not only because of her size but because it was densely packed. and dark. fog hid the undergrowth and high treetops blocked any light from aiding them. she internally sighed. of course, shall we start then?

end.
