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!

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).

Sefu,
Prince of Ignis Empire
Played by Twesh
Noon time, the sun a slight and steady source of warmth over head. It didn't get quite so unbearably hot this time of year and on the shores of their home upon the lake Sefu was quite comfortable. A wind brushed through his mane and tossed a few of the strands across his face and swept them along the golden stripes on his cheek. He currently lay nestled upon a large stone on the edge of the lake; belly flattened to the cool rock's surface while his paws dangled over the edges with long claws lazily scraping at the surface. Seeming tired his jaws parted into a yawn; stretching wide teeth grasping at air and clamping shut with a loud clack.

He settled his teeth back into place amongst each other- wrestling his jaws together with some gentle clicks and claps of his jowls as tiredness, laziness and boredom, began to overtake him. Slowly his head drifted to lay down across his forearms and absently stare out over the water.

Hunter,
Rex of Ignis Empire
Played by Fess
ooc: Feel free to be caught unaware, or sense him whatever you prefer!

IC:
'you know you want to smack his butt.'

Hunter regarded the lion's hind quarters from a slight distance, narrowed gaze tracing the mix of earthen and molten hues, following the lines of pattern and the drape of the tail upon that rock.

'Yes, but he's out in the damn sun. Near the water of all things. It ...sparkles....' came the silent response to his minds itching impulse. Noon was not his favorite time, even in the cooler seasons the light was too damn bright. More so when near water.

And yet. The urge....to swat the butt...

Claws slowly slid from sheaths and front toes wiggled into the earth as lips peel from abnormally long teeth in a silent mischievous grin. Oh what the hell, why not? Many things could go wrong...but that was what made it so very...tempting.

Aiming to move silently Hunter attempted to approach the dozing lion from behind before shifting his weight onto hind quarters, lifting his frame up slightly and reaching out with one forepaw in an attempt to 'tap'/lightly swat the stranger on the hind end just to one side of the tail base. Perhaps if he was lucky the brute would be startled enough to fall into the water! Hehehe.

Tag. Your it.

Sefu,
Prince of Ignis Empire
Played by Twesh
Sefu's muscles visibly tightened up below his spangled golden markings . A wave and ripple of sense moved along his spine from the tingling tip of his tail and running ears twisting around. Something was there. His body screamed milliseconds before Hunter's touch along his hips. Sefu's lips curled up involuntarily into a snarl and his features rippled with lines and wrinkles as he turned his threatening face around his left shoulder to bare his fangs at whoever had the bold idea to touch him. In one fluid motion Sefu was pushing himself up and circling around so that he would end up facing Hunter ready to take off at a run and charge the strange male. His lavender eyes narrowed mischievously- Sefu appeared in all aspects ready to defend himself but not overly eager for anything too serious or using up a ton of energy.

Let the Game Begin.

ooc: Keeping any tussling informal atm, not wanting to loose more hp needlessly lol. But if you want a formal spar feel free.

IC: 'Ooo' it seemed his target was aware something was wrong, the muscles in the other male's hind quarters visibly tightened. However his present toy did not appear to know where the threat was coming from, or at least he did not move in time to avoid the playful swat.

Hunter took a step back with a chuckle immediately, not to retreat but to give himself a little distance to move freely. Placing all four to the floor so to speak claws slid out in subtle mute preparation, eyes crinkling partly shut as a fanged grin flashed playfully in a cat-outside-canary smile as the lion turned to face him.

"Well hello there." he rumbled, part purr part playfull statment. There is a visable wild spark in his fire and posion gaze, muscles coiling as he posed on the edge of action and impulse. Pounce...or not to pounce?

Sefu's chest pulsed and his attention fixed to the other male. Signs of danger? Of threat? Of play and caution? Sefu did the best he could to read the situation in the silence and in doing so left himself still now where he stood. Muscles fired off all neurons- run, flee, fight, think. Messages raced around and despite the pause in strenuous activity Sefu's heart was still moving just as fast as before. His breath still just as quick. And then he too was grinning back. "I like this tension." Sefu greeted back with a grin across his lowered muzzle, mirroring Hunter's fluxuating stance. Too unaware of what way this was going but in the meantime- that building of pressure in his heart and stomach- was wild. He stepped forwards a single step- slow and methodical and felt the sensation inside swell up stronger than before, swallowing him.
@Hunter - I'm good without anything official!

Like the moment when a drop of water hung from the tip of a blade of grass, milliseconds before falling away, action hung as if on pause. The world almost seeming to hold its collective inhalation. 'I like this tension' the silence broken by his mirrored opposition as a similar stance is adopted.

Smile widens, a sort of wild abandon in the expression that spoke of a thrill more than genuine intent to harm or kill. But then again, with this one it could be hard to separate one from the other. Still that smile seemed to ask 'will you like this even more?' because what followed was explosive movement with no more then the playful grin as warning.

Hunter would seek to collide with the other male, his guard lifted and quite aware the other may try and move so he goes into the lake! He aimed to lift into his hind quarters and wrap his forelegs around the other males shoulders before attempting to fall sideways....in effect aiming to initate a wrestling match of sorts. Now for the moment claws are sheathed, although given the length of his this still meant a short length would be exposed. He was incapable of sheathing them fully. Jaws remained in a grin, teeth for the moment unused but at the ready.

It was...just his way of saying 'Hi' to his pridemate after all.
"..."
