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!

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).

Lioness of Prideless
Played by Naboo

Such a direction had their conversation taken that she was almost shocked as he said he would follow her, at least pledge an allegiance to her in a manner which both flattered and empowered her. The coiling of her tail rolled against her hip and finally down towards her hock as her ears rolled forward and a low, pleasant sort of growl rumbled within her breast. Still the rain fell upon her and coated her, the distant cracks of thunder and lightning seeming as though they were beginning to fade from their initial intensification. "Your homeland sounds like a most interesting place, so why is it that they would exile the likes of you?" The tone of her voice though was held in a different regard, as if that would not impact the nature of their developing relationship; whatever was budding between them, be it an alliance, or some sort of mutually benefiting coexistence, she cared little for what lay in someone's past.

Forward she moved closer to him, her small body unrolling so naturally within her own weight and so comfortable within the bounds of her flesh as her saffron colored eyes peered relentlessly at him. A crooked and wicked grin perched upon her lips as her breath paused, water seeping against her coat and pulling the fibers of her hair together closely. "What is the extent of your ambition? And what is it that you would call the male equivalent? What would they call you, as you call me Kvinne?" There was much left to be learned between them, and she approached with no hesitation as she finally stopped when the distance between them was enough that their difference left her standing lower, her jaws closing once more as she awaited his response.

The dark-pelted male knew that, sooner rather than later, she would ask of his exile. He had brought it up just to get this out of the way. This was always the way it went with anyone he met. Why not face the questions sooner then, eh? She questioned the reasoning of his people for sending him to his fate, whatever that might be, away from his homeland. He scoffed at the way she honeyed her words with the silver tongue fit for a woman such as herself. Proud, fierce and intelligent.

"I cannot know what they reasoned in their own minds when they made their decision to send me to my fate. What I do know is that it matters not. I am not my past, and I am not one of them any longer. That much you can be certain, and that is all you need to know."

His answer was stern, confident and coated in a darkness that may lead anyone to believe that he was not naturally as harmless and peaceful as he had been making himself out to be since he had arrived. He was quite full of surprises, and now, filled with a new burning ambition. Thankfully, if her honeyed tone could be believed, his answer did not matter much to her anyway.

Now the blood-hued female lowered her guard. Her ears perked to him as she moved closer and closer still. So close, in fact, that she was no longer at a safe distance away... yet her steely gaze never released him from their fixed, animalistic watch. Muninn found it rather pleasing that it took such a short time for her to trust him enough to get so close. He still had a way with others, this much was certain... and this gave him newfound hope in himself. He had not fallen far. His own gaze met hers, matching the intensity carefully.

"Konungar."

He deliberately refused to answer her first question. He would not tolerate her questioning him and his ambition. Let her believe that he was inspired to do her bidding, as he had offered earlier. He instead offered the title he wished to be called. Unbeknownst to her, since she did not speak the language of his people, the name he gave to himself would put him in higher standing than the name he had given her.

She held with high resolve the mere name of 'woman' due to the meaning he had assigned to it. Munnin, however, would not be truthful in simply giving her the male equivalent 'mannen'.
No.

He would be a fool to do anything short of take this opportunity to title himself as the 'King'.

Beware of Muninn. He is going though some changes. He can and will become quite erratic!
RP WITH HIM AT YOUR OWN RISK.
He is very likely to attempt bodily harm to your character, even when UNPROVOKED!!

Excitement warmed her veins as she began to experience something she hadn't in a very long time. Her eyes visibly mulled over his response which was dry and short, her question had been left unanswered. It was like being teased to the point where she could no longer take it and then pulling away to leave her unsatisfied. Her body nearly trembled, chills running along her neck and her shoulders as her hair fluttered across the left side of her face. The twist of her lips pulled into a more serious and yet cunning smile. Someday soon he would tell her, though she was must surprised that she found herself wanting to know. "I did not expect you to be such a tease," Shockingly the words rolled from her lips with a salacious purr that eventually turned into a low and rolling growl; she did not find herself to be a sensual person but he was awakening something within her that she hadn't felt in a long time.

The thought of Xerxes had not crossed her mind in some time, not seriously anyway. Still his language felt foreign and unnatural on her tongue, the little uruloki did not enjoy the rough and crude sounds. Though Konungar had something that Kvinne hadn't, whether imagined or real, Konungar held power. She would not care for the difference, she only cared for the fact that she was still intrigued by him, which was more than many could say by this many words in.

"Whether you've moved beyond your past will remain to be seen, Konungar, Muninn." Purposely she played with both his chosen word and his name. Her distance did not grow nor shorten as she took her time and let her eyes roam his face. "I think you're not telling me everything, whether by lying or omission the difference doesn't matter. You cannot live with that fire of ambition burning within you, that vengeance, and yet want to live in solitude and exile." Thoughtfully she paused, but only for a moment. "I would much rather witness your devastation and raw power than your domestication."

The female before him seemed roused as she accused him of being a tease... but by what he wasn’t sure. Never had he had good intuition when it came to women and their more sensual sides. He preferred to keep things simple, and the art of romance was a game too complex for his liking. She did have an attractiveness about her, and yet, his lust was monopolized by the promise of status and power!

He simply narrowed his eyes in thought and confusion at her accusations, but as she began again his expression turned to one of interest and agreement.

“As would I ‘kvinne’ Erenvel. Everything I have to tell will come in time. Bask in the bliss of ignorance for now. The secrets I harbour... well, you simply may not want to know.”

He knew she didn’t want to know them. In fact... she should mind what she wished for. To see his raw power, his confidence, his freedom from himself! Helvete, he wouldn’t have to tell his secrets at all. She would live them first hand.

“Our first step will be to secure a territory for ourselves, then, we shall begin our growth. Where is it you might find best suited? I take it you are more familiar with this place then I.”

Munnin suggested, his tone slightly lighter, more civil than it has been since they had met. Dare we say, it was more “friendly” in tone. He awaited her response with keen interest.
