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.

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).

Rue,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Cat

Rue was quite pleased with herself when she noticed she had finally pulled some sort of emotion from the rather stoic lioness. In fact, she wiggled in place when it occurred with a rather amused look of her own. It must be an odd sight to see. Two blue femme's on the shore together. However, she had not expected the other to say she was alone. When the brute's said it, she felt it a common thing for them. Usually, older lionesses were claimed up and bred before you knew it.

Or perhaps that was just the life she knew. After all, to keep from breeding inside lines they often picked up stray cubs or 'the forgotten'. The ones no one would even bat an eyelash about. They usually gave them a better life anyway. A place to fit in and belong. A ragtag family to always have your back. They were a loyal bunch, despite all the differences they had. "Oy, th' scallywags are 'round 'ere somewhere. Prolly stirrin' up a ruckus as we 'natter'." She looked pointedly at Blue with a grin as she purposely used the word once more.

Ah, so she wasn't by herself. She had a "crew" that was around doing... things. "Causing a ruckus". She wasn't sure if she wanted to know what that entailed. Perhaps she was better off not knowing. Although, she was... curious. Just as a small part of her was pleased to have found someone to speak with after her time alone. So far, this other lioness didn't seem as bad as what she was used to but one couldn't call these things too early. Plus, this strange pirate life was one that intrigued her to no end. To find something that you thought was a fairy-tale that really wasn't a fairy-tale was a strange sensation.

The blue feline glanced back over the other lioness' shoulder, as if she expected a bunch of tattooed miscreants to show up any second. "What do pirates do?" Because she was curious if what she knew was true. That they sailed around on large ships on the ocean... although she really had no idea what a "ship" actually was.

Rue,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Cat

She had noted the way the lady would cast her gaze from Rue to the beach at her backside. A smirk evident on her lips, though she reigned it in a fraction to keep from being too rude, of course. The question wasn't one she often found confronted with outright. She mulled the thought over as she chose to finally relieve her paws of her weight. Hind limbs plopped her tailless rump on the warmed sand. "A bit o' everythin' me reckon." She watched the features of the other to see how she took the vague answer. She gave a soft chuckle."We explore, werk fer hire, plunder, 'ave fun... ye be knowin', th' usual." Thick shoulders rise and fall in a gentle shrug as if it was casual common knowledge of what a pirate does in their past time or work time. In truth, it was often the dirty work that no one else wanted to do and rather pay off a hand to manage it.

Rue didn't mind though jobs weren't an often gig (or at the least, not often went how it was supposed to). She much rather chose to find or take things that she wanted or needed. Usually not from anyone who didn't deserve it in the first place. "What do ye do? Just 'ta roamin' gypsy o' somethin'?"

A bit of everything? One ear twitched as the lioness listened to the nothing answer. That didn't tell her very much. Although she supposed she couldn't get too upset. She was being nosy but damn if finding a pirate wasn't rare as all get out!

Still, it seemed as if she would move on and Blue would get a better answer. Plunder? So, it was sort of like the stories. She didn't know how well she could get behind "plundering" but she supposed if that was what they wanted to do. She was no crusader to stop ill justice all over the world, although if she could help it she wasn't likely to overtly contribute to it without cause. The woman gave a soft "hm" of understanding. No judgement here, no calling out of what some would see as barbaric ways. Just a general apathy about the whole thing.

To each their own. So long as it didn't affect her own livelihood.

She also wasn't sure about the "have fun" sort of thing. What did one even do that constituted...? fun? Did lions just go out and do that? Did that explain away the plundering? It all seemed strange to her.

The question was then bounced back to her then it was her own turn to give a shrug. "No." She spoke in reply to the roaming "gypsy" comment. "Don't... do anything. Just roam." Ever since she left her family --hell-- even before she left her family, she didn't really have a purpose except to survive. It was honestly nice not being beholden to anyone except herself but she couldn't deny that there was a want there to have... something. She hated her previous pride but it had been a pride, now she was just here. Roaming until the next best thing popped up. What that would be? She had no idea.

Rue,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Cat

Toes curled in the sand. She had always enjoyed the way it felt as it shifted between them. It was easy enough to keep her focus on the blue lioness since she found the femme rather interesting. The fact that their pelts matched, aside from the shades, of course, excited the blue pirate. Alone. The word struck Rue harder than she expected and it was enough to clear the grin from her lips. She and her siblings had been taken from their home to be raised with the nomadic pirates she called her crew. She was not burdened with the memories of her parents or friends. All she knew were ones she roamed with. But she knew, deep down, that if it would not be for her brother and sister- it would have broken her.

"They be around 'ere, somewhere." She casually shrugged them off. She hadn't the need to keep track of them every moment of the day. They checked in with each other and that was enough for now. Their main goal to secure a permanent base in the land. Well, it was hers, which made it theirs by default. "Ye don't 'ave t' be alone. Ye can call on me. Which means-" She paused and leaned forward with her smile that slid back on. "that counts fer me crew now too." As if that should be some reassuring notion to know. Or even want.
