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!

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.

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).

Mammon,
Lion of Prideless
Played by Howl


Home is far behind him. Mammon left his family in good paws. He now seeks out new lands for the horde. Home was nice but he and the younger generation had to go now, to start prides of their own. Father dearest had graciously offered Mammon a place within the pride, thankful to his father he was but they needed to add more variety into the gene pool. That's why he's gone at the ripe age of almost five to search other lands for not only fertile earth but, virile males. or ladies he isn't picky.

The temperature is cold where he goes. Passing through the tundra he doesn't care about the weather, however, the deeper he goes the more tumultuous it gets. Mammon eventually crosses into new lands not too far from his previous home. Far enough apart to have new blood yet close enough if he decides he hates it here. A large bird comes to him "Mammon, it's rough up ahead. There are storms through this area." she caws now nesting firmly between his shoulders.

Oh great just his stupid fucking luck, whoo go Mammon " Thanks for the warning, babes." sighing he looks towards the horizon. Don't get him wrong he's grateful for Nemeias help it's just why couldn't it have been anything else but storms! Someone is trying to kill him. Maybe Nemeia is she does weigh 7 kilograms (15.4 pounds for you Americans) after all.

Eventually, Nemeia is airborne and Mammon enters the storms. Fuck him, kill him now. His body is tense, too tense. Each muscle cramped up as he braves nature. Keep it steady, Mammon. It's frigid as he is pelted by rain and hailstones. The noise is deafening and honestly? Mammon wishes he could curl into a ball right now. This is terrifying for him but thankfully it's just rain for now. Nemeia keeps a good eye on her lion companion, she's seen the mess he turns into during extreme storms.

A thunder crash and a lightning flash send Mammon galloping for shelter, any shelter. Someone please get him out of the fucking bastard of a storm. Hopefully the rain will hide the tears beginning to form at the corners of his eyes. No, no, don't you fucking touch me storm not today satan not fucking today, go piss in someone else's asshole.

Nemeia immediately follows Mr Berry. Poor Mammon, it's difficult for him she knows. It breaks her heart every time. That's her best friend down there. Flying ahead she decides to take action. The woods aren't hard to see or smell with excellent senses like her own. Swooping down she gets closer to Mammon "Woods not far from here, we'll find shelter there. Just keeping running, Mammon!" she chirps in praise. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, what do we do? We swim swim.

He hears her but he can't respond, too busy trying not to take a panic attack out in the middle of the tundra. Mammon smashes right through the woods. He doesn't care, there's not a single rational thought in his mind right now. Branches whack his face but he can't bring himself to be bothered. THUD! The lion crashes into the damp wet muddy forest below. Squeezing his eyes shut his breathing quickens, his pulses races and he wants to be dead. It hurts, it hurts so fucking much. His chest and shoulders are agony yet he can't stop panicking. Mammon whimpers

Dutifully, the bearded vulture goes to her stricken friend. Settling down beside him she says nothing and begins playing with his golden locks. With such stimulation Mammon eventually ceases. Slowly his breathing returns to normal. Stop, it is all too much. His eyes barely open and he stares at the green leafy foliage opposite him "Nemeia" he croaks exhausted from his episode.

"Right here, idiot"

Mammon gives a small chuckle "Scout the area" please. He'd do it himself but he isn't fit + he could use some sleep after using all that energy. He knew it was irrational, such anxiety and fear over storms but his mind couldn't rationalise it when he worked himself into such a state. He couldn't just snap out of it either. It's a debilitating fear not just a jump scare in a horror film. He hates being like this. Such a weakness for him, THE MAMMON to have.

Hearing the fluttering of wings he knows his companion has gone to do as he asked, well more like demaned. Even though the storm still raged on he was exhausted. The thunder rolled and the lighting struck yet Mammon found himself deeply relaxed as though once the panic was out his body, he felt lighter like he had released all the stress he'd been holding in. With his energy depleted and his eyes heavy soon the demon of avarice gives himself to sleep.

Jessie,
Lion of Prideless
Played by KittyKookiez

The northern land reminded him of home; the snowy plains and frost-laden trees were a welcoming sight. His coat was burly and thick, used to the harsher weather than most. Jessie saw the signs when an incoming thunderstorm was approaching, and so took to the nearby woodlands to seek shelter. Long ago, he had found an abandoned den--presumably once belonging to a bear--and made it his temporary home. This is where he buried himself deep into to await the storm. The only problem now was, well, he wasn't tired. It didn't look like this storm was going away anytime soon, so occasionally the lion took to peaking out of his den every once in a while.

It was an ominous sight to see a vulture flying overhead--and a somewhat odd one--and it led Jessie to question why it was out here in such a torrent. Was there someone hurt? Did the weather get to them? Worried that whatever it might be swarming around was experiencing a slow death, Jessie followed after it. Eyes squinted and tail curled, the torrent of chilling rain hitting at his pelt with every drop. He couldn't be out here for long. Not in this weather...
