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.

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).

I brought a little something,

'Amber flame' perhaps a touch more feminine that he might have pictured in reference for himself, but not at all unpleasant or unacceptable. Additionally he had to admit it was an accurate enough title, his coat hues were after all, various tones of amber.

It did not seem she took offence. This pleased him. It would not have upset him much in the long run had she reacted poorly, but Hunter would have been disappointed as it would have meant a likely end to the pleasant interactions. As expected she also was not one to bow, but this much he knew already given the story she had shared about her past.

His smile was mirrored back and this amused him greatly. It was endlessly entertaining to find another with a similar dark humor and perhaps mischievous streak. Ironically his smile, this time, had not meant to induce anything but teasing understanding. When he wished to be terrifying Hunter's expressions tended to take on a wholly different cast, one she would perhaps see with a bit more time. Although he hoped never directed twoards herself.

Brows arched slightly as she admitted favor and referred to him as a powerful man, just a bit surprised at the sudden information. She had just started to get to know him and he had already made a strong impression, but was that a bad thing? He would say it was not. Some moved more decisively than others and this was not necessarily a downfall.

Still he did not see a need to 'hold a position' to back up his ability or prove worth. Social chains, however loose...this is what he saw such things as ''position'. A toy to pick up and drop when desired perhaps, but hardly necessary.

She wove around him and with twitching lips he made no move to stop the motion nor did he shift position or back away as her muzzle neared his ear (he felt no need to be defensive). Lips lifted slightly, not in threat, but to allow an attempt at landing playful if perhaps ever so slightly stingy nip at her jawline/upper throat.

"As equals?" he rumbled, voice almost a black purr in its natural cadence, more so when he was pleased. "....if that is the offer. Than I will accept." and say for as long as it suited. Although, he had to admit so far she had held his attention more than anyone prior by a good degree.

Volcan was pleased, very pleased at the feeling of his teeth lightly grasping at her maw- an nip, mayhaps even an affectionate bite. She cared not, she enjoyed the way it made her feel. Like a fire goddess. She purred, his words like sweet sugar cane to her ears- like the song of mountain wolves in the cold silent night. A beautiful thing, a thing to savor and mull over, to enjoy for as long as she may have it. And so she simply wished she may have it as long as she could.

He accepted her offer, he would take place as her equal, her rex- or to some, a king. Emporer even. Perhaps someday, even lover. She chuckled lightly, gently grasping at his ear and running her teeth over it, giving his cheek fur a lick as they found their way off his ears edge. Her dark body wove its way a few feet from him, looking back at him with a smirk. "I am very pleased you will join me, to rule by my side. I simply already am preparing for the irritation from my oldest son, for he would be about a year older than you- I believe. But, he afterall is my child- and whether he likes it or not, will bow to my will." she stated.

Eyes slide half closed at the sound of her purr. It was pleasant. The closeness of her flesh, more specifically her throat, and the heat which lifted from it, ignited a strong temptation. The last time he was in this sort of position ... it had not ended well for the other soul. He very much wished to avoid that outcome this time.

Although her teeth across his ear caused his teeth to clench as self control is sharply employed and a soft breath sucked between closed jaws. Thoughts began to fuzz around the edges and he focused on her words as a mechanism to avoid temptation and any slide into instinct. She moved away...thank gods. Not because her closeness was unwanted, but because it had become TOO wanted.

Eyes so sharp afire a moment before now return to a shouldering inner glow as he smirked in return. "A position he wished for? Or is age the only likely irritation?"he curiously rumbles, moving slowly forward twoards her, casually. This was his land too now was it not? "....mmmm.....are you up for giving a tour?" also he supposed it would be a
good idea to ask about her children and any one who lived in the lands...

Volcan huffed in response to hid question- not in anger towards him, but towards her spawn. "He wants more than a position as prince, and my equal is likely what he wanted the most- but I always reserve such ranks for someone who could someday produce worthy heirs." she said, purring as he came to her side, "That is, if you wish to produce heirs. If not, surely one of the six I already have could be worthy to take over after both of us are long gone." she said.

Ember eyes blazed with pleasure as he requested a tour, rubbing her cheek fluff against his mane- should he allow it. "Of course, my king. Let me shoe you my favorite spots in our land." she said, striding across the borders of their shared territory, looking back to ensure he would follow, and leading him to each of the highlights within the Ignis landscape.

'He wants more than a position as prince, and my equal is likely what he wanted the most-'

Hunter wondered then, if this is the case, why did the son not go out and establish his own pride? But perhaps it was not about leading a pride so much as it was recognition in his parent's eyes.

'but I always reserve such ranks for someone who could someday produce worthy heirs.'

Brows lift slightly and lips twitch with faint amusement. Not that he was actually too shocked, Hunter was hardly harmone driven but nor was he blind or without any interest at all. The molten hued lion had certainly picked up on various signals.
"Are none worthy so far?" what was the shortcoming with her son?

'That is, if you wish to produce heirs. If not, surely one of the six I already have could be worthy to take over after both of us are long gone.'

Volcan went on to mention she had six children. Oh my. Six was it? "I am not against it. But desire to get to know you better first." he rumbled with a purring undertone.

Hunter, when he committed to actually producing offspring intended to parent them. And if this was with her, well then, he would certainly need to me mindful of not falling the way of her last....partners. Not to mention he would want to see what values she taught her offspring and if the two sets of bloodline values are compatible so to speak.

There was some concern that if she killed her former 'mates' for no reason outside they failed to be needed, that this would cause a conflict of values. In particular the shakti law about harming innocents.

He permitted the contact as she rubbed her cheek against his mane , shifting his weight slightly towards her to show acceptance and allowing his smile to widen at her words.

"Yes, lets go. I'm looking forward to it, my queen." words laced with dark honey as he moved to follow her lead. Perhaps, when they were done he could ask her more about her children. Information needed before he met them the first time should things have a chance at going well.
