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.

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).

Miss me?

He spent little of his time wasted. It is why he sought her out immediately. The trail of her scent lingered about these lands as if she had roamed nearly all over it. However, he had traced it back to a place that seemed to be the strongest. A brow arched as he followed it along. Was this... a border marked? His lips shifted to a sly smirk. Without further thought, he stepped over it. Toes wiggled on the ground before he moved inward.

He made it a point to avoid where the scent hinted to dens. He even kept away from her storage, even though his stomach gnawed at him in hunger. Instead, he chose a good centralized position and plopped down. His form stretched out from one end to the other. Anywho looked on, would surely think he felt he already lived there.

He did belong here, after all, if it is where his mother chose to reside. With a yawn, he'd wait for her right where he was. He knew his mother and knew she wouldn't miss the alert of an intruder (son or not).

Empress of Ignis Empire
Played by Karasu



The goddess had been doing her rounds, dark paws stepping carefully over pale rock, a slight limp in her gait from her battle. Every tree she passed that hadnt been scored by her claws was marked in response to its nakedness, for the woman was making sure any who approached knew very well, this was her land. So it was a surprise as she scented a trespasser, the dirt still freshly scuffed from where the lion had stepped through her borders without though. Ember eyes blazed, for it had been a while sense she had seen her oldest son, and his scent was not recognized by the power distracted goddess. A growl escaped from her maw as she followed the scent with a stalking gait, but the figure she laid eye upon changed her demeanor completely. She stood straight, a tight smile on her face as she approached. "Drazhan, my dear firstborn~ have you finally decided you arent too good for your mother now that she has become an empress?"

He barely had the time to let his eyes drift close as his head laid back upon the soil. The lake was just a short distance away with the mountains at his back and a few trees to surround him. He felt her before anything else. The vibrations of her paw steps caused his smirk to return.

Eyes only fluttered open when he heard her voice. Yellow orbs drifted over her and settled on the injuries. Lips pursed in response. "That isn't it at all..." He shifted his weight so that his upper half was lifted just slightly. "I missed you." He figured he could spare her the words she might like to hear. Butter her up a bit, if anything. "Plus, you may need my help." Eyes pointedly returned to the injured paw. She needed better muscle around.

If only to spare himself from the anger that had riled within him at the sight of her banged up mother.

Her son definitly earned his cocky demeanor from his mother, that was obvious as he smirked and sat up a bit. Volcan strutted forward, putting her wine colored nose close to his grayish one. "I missed you too- but I can care for myself. I was simply distracted." she stated, her mind wandering back to Hunter's fine fiery colored ass. "But I welcome any who pull there weight, and despite how I found you lounging, I trust you can make yourself useful." she said. "I offer all my children a rank with the name of royalty, if you wish to take it." the goddess stated, sitting back onto her haunches. "Now give mama some love, my dear boy."

He did not shy away or flinch when his mother so boldly intruded upon his space. Her nose mere inches from his own. His casual smile returned to his lips as he let his ears flick back a moment. Distracted. He let out a faint snort of hot hair from his nose, in her direction. It was obvious he disagreed with her statement of being able to handle things herself, but he would not voice such a thing.

Instead, he straightened his posture in his half lay a bit more. "Of course I can." He was more than capable when he applied himself. It was just getting the brute to do just that, that was the hard part. His smile expanded at the mention of a rank. A quick jerk of a nod in response before he let his grimace show. Eyes rolled, but still, he stood. Even if it was with much obvious reluctance. He stepped forward to try tuck his cranium around hers, despite the fact that she was the taller of the two.

Volcan smiled warmly as her oldest son curtly nodded, accepting her offer to give him a rank within the kingdom. His obvious eyeroll and reluctant stand received an amused snort from the goddess, the dark empress in turn wrapped her head around his, dripping her shoulders a bit so they were of similar height. "I have faith you will be a good prince. Many of your siblings have preceded you, so your title is shared. Your littermate has not yet to show, but I'm waiting for her. Darn girl has me on a wild goose chase- she thinks its funny, I know she does. But i have duties to complete now." she said with a sigh, pulling back from her berry maned boy and rubbing her paw against her muzzle. "Speaking of, darling, would you like to walk with me while I finish my patrol?"

There is a comfort to be found in the embrace. A fact that he would not speak of to his mother, or to anyone. Still, he relished in the feel before they pulled apart. His eyes remained on her as she spoke. His sly smirk was still evident on his lips. So his sister hadn't shown yet? Which meant he was the eldest alone. Though he was curious which of the younger few had come so far. "Which others have arrived?" He questioned as a brow rose in curiosity.

Smirk was replaced with a true smile, however small it may be. His head bobbed a gentle agreement to her request. "Of course, mother." Head dipped just slightly before he would step past her and pause, to wait for her to join at his side.

Volcan wanted to swipe her paw against the back of his head, to wipe his smug look from this face, but her own expression stayed neutral and loving. She wouldn't hit them without reason- even if they were grown. "Petra and Sefu are here so far. It may take a while for your youngest sister to get here- since the sun makes her uncomfortable." she said, smiling warmly to her son. As he walked forward, she trotted to his side, taking the lead to continue her way around the borders, "So.... Where have you been?" she asked, not looking over at him, "Find anything interesting, or anyone who could be potientally useful?" the empress questioned, amusement in her voice. "Perhaps someone to produce offspring with?"
