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!

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).

It was that time when day was slowly turning to night. The sun was beginning to set over the horizon, causing the hot temperatures of the day time to the cooler temperatures that ruled the night. For Svarog, the cooler air felt nice, but had gotten lost, and was not so keen on staying overnight in the sandy ocean. He squinted his purple eyes, looking for any other biome. It seemed he wasnt so lucky. With a small sigh, he shook his mane of some sand that gotten blown into it.

With his mane cleaned (mostly) of the sand, he decided to take a turn elsewhere. His mind wandered, trying to keep himself distracted. Thoughts of a nicy, cozy den in a place that wasnt a death trap. It kept him going, and so he would continue in a new direction, hoping to find something soon.

Lioness of Prideless
Played by Naboo

There's hardly anything here in this new land; endless dunes of sand which changed shape and location depending on the wind's breath. She was wandering here as though to find a lifeline, to find a purpose, the battle she'd just left had done little for her and still she felt the aggravation and rage bubble beneath the surface. She was so uncontrolled in a manner which she'd never seen of her father, and that drove her into a further state of rage. How did he control the brooding and screaming inside for bloodshed and domination? Dried blood soaked into her deep red pelt and some scabs had formed over her shoulders and neck where Volcan's claws had lashed, they would not last long but for now they were still fresh. Darkened lips were raked over by her reptilian tongue, nostrils flaring lightly as her ears shifted forward to listen to the stranger walking nearby, saffron eyes focused upon his form. "You lost?" The words were simple and yet there would be little comfort or nurturing in anything she spoke; she paused simply to watch him wander around the desert, wondering why she was even here in the first place.

Having been so focused on his own thoughts, tryijg to keep himself sane, he nearly missed the fact that he was no longer alone in this wasteland. Eyes blinked a moment, regaining his focus, as he turned his attention towards her. Her tone hadnt been very welcoming, or much of anything, but he would take whatever he could get. Svarog couldnt remember the last time he had been in company of those of the same species as he.

"I think I might be." He gave a sheepish grin. His voice crqcked as he spoke, and he only now realized how dry his throat was. Even though the heat was being suppressed by night in the desert, it had been a while since he had found some water. "Sorry to bother, but do you happen to know the way out of here?" it would be his luck to get lost. All he could do now was look to the female, patiently, to see if she could help.

Foolhardy was not an admirable trait in her eyes. Unluckily for him though her mood had long been befouled and she felt in a particularly wicked mood, as the words left his mouth her own twisted into a dark and almost eerie grin. Her voice was just as unwelcoming as before, though not out of malice but rather the simple fact that it was her usual tone. Saffron eyes roving over his form and her wounds ached in the sun which began to bake them; searing the opened flesh. "That depends if you want to leave here alive or dead." And once more she would leave him with that, something brief. Even in the darkness of her tone it was almost playful, as if she wanted to see what sort of response she could elicit from him, though her own games would make her grow weary with fatigue, for still she felt confused and lost. "Though the path is one and the same." If he could make it, if he could drag himself through the scorching sands and blinding lights to end up on the other side.

Perhaps there was something in her grin that should have sent a warning signal that perhaps she was not the safest to ask to directions from. Still, he would not run like a scared kitten. Svarog preferred to give the benefit of the doubt. Whether or not this would screw him over, well, only time will tell. His lips turned into a bit of a smirk, hoping that she wouldn't bite his head off. "Preferably alive, but I'm willing to take a risk. What's life without a little danger?" he half-joked. Shaking things up could be entertaining, but he was playing Russian roulette with his life. Would the odds be in his favor? They would soon see. Alright strange lady, Svarog is putting his life in your paws.

He may yet turn out to be interesting. The response to her sharp and harrowing threat was enough for the ridges of her brows to rise and the threads of her mane to scatter back towards her right cheek; russet tinges to the ends almost rattling as they interlaced with the deep crimson. "Before we indulge in a perilous game, why don't you tell me more about yourself? How did you end up here anyways?" It was not common for newcomers to come this way into the lands, but perhaps she was misjudging and he wasn't new at all."I am Erenvel Tollaire." Though her tenure here was not much longer than his, perhaps that was information she would not divulge. Slowly she could remember her first steps into the land, trailing down the mountain and finding Vermillion along the way. There would be nothing that could ever make her part from that memory. Her eyes rested tentatively on him, wondering how far the game would go and just what she would plan for their return journey, the aching on her shoulders had not yet relinquished her body, and instead she shifted as the blood began to crust in the open wounds.
