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!

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.

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.

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).

Appearance

4'2 - 565lbs

Being quite the large male, Seraphiel is used to towering over others. His height and build make him quite imposing, and he doesn't mind that. All the better to defend others with, though it makes some want to use him for their own desires even more.

His pelt is a deep maroon striped with black on his hind end and legs. His tail is an even deeper maroon, with a solid dorsal passing along his back, disappearing under the black mass of his mane. He might be a rather boring looking male, were it not for the white underside, toes, and especially the white mask that paints his face. It encircles his eyes, then dips down his muzzle while avoiding his cheeks before curling under his chin. Inverted triangles appear under his golden eyes, and a trio of white lines mark the end of his chin.

He carries numerous scars from his youth, the most obvious of which is across his muzzle. Still, there are many more littering his frame, most hiding under his mane or fur. One doesn't have to look too close to see them, though.

Personality

A strong and silent giant, it isn't uncommon to find Seraphiel lurking in the background of any gathering. You can't miss him, given his sheer bulk, but if you happen to glance over him he won't draw your attention to him any other way. He's reserved, seldom saying anything and even more rarely speaking about himself in any way. It can be a pain to get anything out of him, though he's more than willing to listen. If you need a shoulder to cry on, he's your guy (presuming you can reach it to cry on it).

Despite his silence, he's incredibly loyal and protective. Should he choose to serve under another, one can expect his utmost devotion to them, unless they begin to act in ways that go against his moral code. He refuses to harm an innocent again, and frowns upon attacking women even if they begin the fight. He'll do it, of course, because he knows they can hold their own and are strong, but he won't like it. Under no circumstances will he harm a cub, to the point where he dislikes even sparring with them to train them, though he will if requested.

Those he cares about find themselves with a silent guardian, one who will do anything to ensure they are kept safe and sound. Those who require a champion will find themselves with one, perhaps even without having to ask.

History

Born to a group of lions led by a bloodthirsty king, Seraphiel was chosen to be part of his ravaging army, to be send far and wide across the land and take whatever the king desired. He was expected to be a mighty warrior, to fight and defend and obey orders without hesitation or question. For many years, he did just that. Then, eventually, it began to wear on him. The unquestioning respect demanded by the king began to rankle, and he began to see that the king was well and truly insane. His lust for blood and others to be used as pawns and playthings was unable to be curbed, and Seraphiel was tired of doing his bidding.

He turned away, leaving everything he had ever known behind. There were few who dared to challenge his decision, though the king was understandably enraged by the choice. Who could stop him, with his size and training? None of those left, that was certain. Having roamed on his own for over a year, Seraphiel eventually found himself in a new land, with new opportunities. Hopefully these will serve him better than the past.

For a time, all was well. He had even found himself a new pride that he was happy to call home. Then, disaster struck. The king and queen were forced to flee into other lands, and the ever loyal Seraphiel followed them. Starting over again isn't a problem for him. He's quite used to it. What he isn't used to is caring about others around him. What happens now will be quite the change from before.

Family

None he cares to acknowledge.
