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!

11/19/2020 Staff

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).

Rue,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Cat

Healing was taking longer than expected, but perhaps it was at her own fault. She had done little to sit back and allow herself to get better. Being within a new land, she had very little time to do so. So much needed to be done to at least get them situated and rounded back up. She felt they were all a mess. Some hadn't even followed in yet, while those that had were off to their own accord.

Her leap before you look type of attitude had not gone far with her first attempt here. It forced her to relook at the situation and to plan. As much as the girl of action hated to do. Planning took time and work. Rue had little patience. Something that had not failed them in the lands before. New place, new strategy- it would seem. Regardless, she had scoped the lake out. A large portion of it was claimed to a pride. The smell was oddly familiar and had not expected to find out of the mountain.

So she chose the small chunk that was free. Still sore, she chose to sit as she called to them. It was time to get them all back on the same ship, so to speak. Plus, she could get some more healing while there.

Hildryn,
Lioness of Junior Member
Played by Hinter

Hildryn had been spending too much time around the lake for her liking, especially since Walford had unceremoniously soaked her only days prior. But it was admittedly cooler and the treeline beside it was easy to exist in.

Hildryn had been inspecting the floating lake plants near the weeds, atop the lilypads, to see if there was anything useful for her there. When the call from their captain arises, the pale woman responds obediently. She didn't have the time or ranking in their numbers to be tardy. Not that she was of that habit.

With quick steps, the woman moves to respond. She finds Rue seated, and obviously battered. She had been fighting. Hildryn silently assesses the wounds as she approaches, but says nothing of them. "Captain." she greets, and settles herself to sit nearby, blue eyes respectfully attentive.

She always came when the captain called, and this time was no exception. The fiery woman made her way towards the sound of Rue's call, tossing her mane to one side with a practiced flick of her head as the pair of women came into view. She too noticed that their beloved captain looked a little rough around the edges. "Ye lookin a little uh... worn there captain," she commented as she plopped her hind end down beside Hildryn, not caring if the pale woman wanted her there or not. "Gettin' into fights without me eh?" And why, she wondered.

Rue,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Cat

To say that Rue was disappointed would be an understatement as she watched the only two that answered her call. The anger swelled in her chest and threatened to explode. She would swallow it down as eyes turn to Teuta and Hildryn. A smile tipped to each as she stood again, despite the pain it caused her to do so. "Th' others will be in trouble th' next time we sees them." She mumbled in irritation to the two. Her head shook just slightly. Where had they all gotten themselves off to?

Regardless she had business to attend. "I tested out a fella who tried t' make a claim. He got th' best o' me that time, but he won't th' next." She quickly and vaguely tried to bring them both up to speed with what had happened thus far in the land. Gaze shifted to Hildryn alone. "I'll needs yer help in gettin' ready fer me next tussle." Because until she had them a home to settle in, she would not stop.

Hildryn,
Lioness of Junior Member
Played by Hinter

Teuta is not far behind her own arrival and Hildryn offers the sunset-marked woman a polite dip of her head in greeting. As rough around the edges her new comrades were, she was quickly growing to respect and appreciate them all. As it appeared though, not all of them were so quick to answer the captain's summons.

When Rue spoke she sounded irritated, and Hildryn's lips flattened sympathetically. She had personally warned Walford they could soon be called, and was frustrated he had not turned up. Hildryn realised her words must've had no weight to him - he was a settled member of the crew and her nagging had gone unheeded. She'd picked lakeweed out of his mane for nothing. It stung, a little.

Instead of pondering on her thoughts, Hildryn instead focused on what else her captain had to say. Blue eyes widened a little at the recount of the fight. She had fought a man for a claim? How brave! She did look like she had come out worse for wear though. Her folded ears prick slightly as Rue then directly addresses Hildryn herself and she straightens up slightly.

"Of course," she answers "I will need to gather a few more herbs but I would be pleased to help, captain." As always. She liked feeling useful. It made her feel less like a tag-along.

Finn,
Lion of Prideless
Played by wallflower
Sure, he was late, but when wasn't he late? With a casual manner he sauntered up to the group, which was smaller than he had anticipated. Just his sister and the two vagabonds they'd picked up about a year ago. Blue eyes took critical analysis of his sister's injuries. It looked as if they'd started the rough and tumble without him. Not that he minded much, as he was the lazier of the two. He had walked straight towards Rue, catching the last part of her speech about testing out someone's strength. How ambitious of her. "Well yer needin' to practice if you lost already." A cheeky smile fell on his lips as he looked upon her lighter blue face. "Don't be 'spectin' me to help ya though, I ain't got time fer that." He fake yawned, fangs curiously big as his tongue flicked between them. Out of all the pirates he was likely the least to do anything that took too much effort unless it was something he truly wanted.

Aye, they would be, Teuta thought, noticing none of the others seemed inclined to hurry to their Captain's call. They might just feel her teeth for that one, though more likely she'd simply offer a cuff upside the head, if anything. She wasn't nearly as bity with the rest of the crew, her family.

A claim fight eh? So, the captain wanted a proper place for them to stay, she guessed. If she was being honest, she didn't mind where they were camped out now, but sure, something more permanent probably wasn't a bad idea. They deserved everything they could get, after all, and that way they could keep others from wandering around in their territory and possibly raiding their dens. It was tough to want to start up her treasure hoard again when she knew how easily it could be lost to a stranger wandering through. She had some bones and shiny rocks in the back of her den anyway.

Finn wandered into the meeting and she stuck her tongue out at him as he passed, a silent chastisement for being late. Being the captain's brother wouldn't save him from that.
