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!

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!

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).

The trek from the rainforest to the lake was not favorable in her current condition. Her scruff was a mess from the teeth that had torn into it. Her side had cuts and puncture wounds as well. Dried blood streaked her left side in random places. Her own lips still stained a fine crimson hue. If she tried hard enough she could even still taste the flesh of the new king on her tongue. However, it was more than just her body that was bruised. Her ego had been hurt as well. Even if it had not been her first or the first one she had lost, it was the first time that she had fought for something more than just her own selfish delights. She had tried to take his right to claim. To take it for herself. He had proved he was worthy, despite it not being to herself.


She had remained in silence until they reached the calm lake edge. She made it a point to avoid any further pride borders. At the least, until she had time to heal. After that, she would be knocking on them all once more. Perhaps even to start with the brute she just left. With a huff she let her tired body drop to the ground below. "Reckon we be gettin' started." She let the words leave in a breath of air. Oh, she disliked this part.

Loyally, faithfully she followed her sister from the forest towards the lake. A solid figure beside her sister, offering support should she need it – though she doubted it – and even then she was there as emotional support. Gaze swept the surrounding areas as they walked, on the look out for any potential threats. She did not care who saw them, her main concern was getting her sisters wounds looked after. As they arrived at the lake her sisters words caused a short chuckle to escape her. She knew this would hurt like a bitch, and did not envy her sister. "If you didnt get into spats we wouldnt have to do this." She chided her, trying to distract her from what was to come. "Wait here." She ordered before turning to walk to her hidden stores. She did not know if her sister felt the same pull to the waters as she did, but she liked the water and had chosen the like to keep her herbs and tools she'd found at.


Rustling through her limited supplies she grabbed the turtle shell – for first, they would need to flush the wounds – as well as some herbs for infection and another that promoted healing. Pausing she glanced between the direction her sister was and her stores before grabbing another herb for pain.


Once they were placed in the turtle shell she turned and headed back to her sister, setting the shell down and gently pulling the herbs from it. Only then did she walk to the waters edge to fill the shell with water, before returning to her sister. "This is going to hurt. So stay still." When it came to herbs and wound care, it was one of the few times she would dare to order her sister around. She would then lift the turtle shell and attempt to flush first the wounds on her sister's neck before moving to the smaller ones on her sides.

She knew it was her own fault. Her quick to jump nature had not always done the best for her. She had wanted to know what she was up against with the beasts here (strangely large, all of them) and she had done just that. Or at the least, one of them. She had a taste for him, though. One she did not want to let go so easily. Her body was relieved that she had chosen to lay. Her muscles had strained and she had tired from the battle. Perhaps she had not rested enough from the journey that lead them to find Aesseldar. Regardless, this was only a detour in the success she would eventually find.

She made no argument to stay put as her sister wandered off to whatever nearby stockpile she had managed to put together in their short stay thus far. Her eyes careful as they watched her. Despite her real interest to learn it, she was still fascinated to watch. At her return, Rue would stiffen. She knew what was to come next, even before her sister uttered the command. Eyes winced as the water rushed over the open wounds. Debris and dried blood ran a course to the ground below. She watched as it pooled in random spots.

"I be glad ye stays prepared." She grumbled off through slightly gritted teeth.

i be glad ye stays prepared Her sister said through gritted teeth right after she flushed the wounds. Once she was satisfied they were thoroughly flushed she set her turtle shell down before picking up the pink flower with the pink bulb and placing it before her sister. "Eat this, it will help ward off infection." She ordered, before turning back to her collection of herbs and grabbing another plant, chewing it herself before spitting it into the turtle shell. "This may sting a bit." She warned, before attempting to apply the paste gently to the wound on the back of her sisters neck. It was an odd herb, one may not consider for treating infections but it worked as she had found out, the rosemary also left a funky taste in her mouth. Not that she minded for her sister.


Turning she would then attempt to do the same to the wounds on her sisters' sides, wincing sympathetically for she knew the wounds had to be tender. "I'm glad I'm prepared too, don't need ya getting infections." She informed her sister, shooting her a sly smile before turning once more to her collection of herbs she had grabbed the root looking thing she had shown her sister before. Placing it by her sisters foot, she'd nod towards it. "Eat it, it'll help with the pain."

Eating the things was her least favorite part about the after the event of a fight. With an exaggerated sigh and a roll of her eyes, she quickly ate the bulb and such that was offered to her. She tried to swallow it whole to avoid it sticking to any part of her mouth or tongue. Eyes watched her fanged sister as she moved carefully around her injured frame. A weak smile on her lips. It was obvious the two had a bond that none would break. A bond they shared with their brother. Wherever he may wonder at the time.

She winced as her sister began to apply the balm she had created. Eyes slipped closed as she clenched her jaw tight. Her mind mulled over the various tasks she had to face still, as if the focus would dull some of the sting that occurred. It had not been her first battle to lose, but it had been the first that a lot had weighed on. It felt worse than the ones before it. A blow to her ego, so to say. Eyes flung open to find the root when she mentioned it would help with the pain. A seriousness came over her facade. "Shouldn't we 'ave started wit' this one, then?" Her sarcasm is oddly placed humor as she gives a chuckle before she ate it as well, in as little chews as she could manage.
