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!

11/28/2020 Staff

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).

Sefu,
Prince of Ignis Empire
Played by Twesh

Sefu took himself just a bit away from mommy's home today; walking a path to the farthest reaches of the lake. His large chocolate frame was carried along gracefully, swift strides pulling him step by step to no destination and with no intention. It was interesting to see what the day brought to him; a wanderer at heart it felt unnatural to stay so near the pridelands all day despite how new his mother's kingdom was and how much work still had to go into securing it for them all. That could be the other's responsibility today... Sefu had an itch and was at least of sound enough mind to stay nearish and able to respond if needed.

He found himself a stretch of land that reached like an arm out into the lake about four feet, soil turned into grey rocks and water sloshed up over their rounded surfaces creating a slippery wet hazard. Claws clicked on the soil- tick tick tick like a clock but without a regular beat. Sefu ventured out a few feet to peer at the lake's rolling gentle waves and what sort of small creatures were hanging out around the shallows there. Fish darted past his nose as he leaned over and looked past his stunning reflection to the lake bed only about a foot down.

Volcan had been laying on a rock near the cliffside territory mark, sunlight filtering onto the obsidian and flame of her form. Though it was a short drop into the lake below, she still had laid back from the edge- just in case. After all, swimming wasnt easy with her long fur. Her eyes had been closed for a while when she felt a presence- a simple passing, and an opening of her ember gaze showed the back end of her son disappearing between the ash and birch trees. Curled ears flicked in interest. While they now owned land, here would never be anything against leaving the markings- unless you were small and vulnerable, like a young cub.

Curious to his intentions, or rather really bored of bathing in the sunlight, she stood, stretching out her dark limbs, a wide yawn showing long canines. Perhaps there was something else she could be doing, like recruiting for the good of the kingdom, or stocking the food stores, but doing so wouldn't be very fun. So she made a game. She stalked her son, always at least a hundred feet from him, following scent when she lost sight of his similar fire markings. Weaving through trunks and carefully stepping over stones. Until she finally found him settled by the edge of the lake- no point in attempting an ambush with no cover. So the goddess walked out, trotting towards her son with caution, paws careful on the slick surface of the lakeside. "Hello, my sweet boy."

Sefu,
Prince of Ignis Empire
Played by Twesh

"Mom." Sefu's voice cooed cooly and affectionately before turning around to even face the approaching Volcan. Each click of her claws on the stones around him caused a little twitch of one ear or the other and her strong powerful perfume whirled upwards around his nose to announce and proclaim her approach before his eyes found her round his left shoulder. The young son's face was warm as he grinned with a wickedly delighted lavender gaze. "Come come I have something I want to discuss with you." She was already well enough near to him but Sefu wanted more closeness and security.

He leaned his chocolate head nearer to Volcan's pointed ears and in volume his voice dropped. His whispers, hushed, his grin only growing further. "That woman who bested you- I want to make her my wife." He proclaimed in a jovial and bacchianalian sort of way; tones dancing at the end with a chuckle and flash of his teeth. "Do I have your approval?" Because that'd make life so much easier...

His words were sweet, like swamp flowers in spring to her ears as he called to her. Such a simple thing, just one word, but the love of her children meant everything to the goddess. And so as he requested her go even closer, she abliged, for he was always one who care not for much space- and she wouldn't deny him motherly proximity. But as what he wished to tell her met her ears, they picked striaght forward in suprise, and she stepped away, a smile on her face, but a warning in her eyes. To only thing bad about this is that she knew her son, and would need to make things quite clear. "My precious Sefu, dear boy, I would love for you to take her as a wife. She is very worthy to carry on our bloodline. But please only take her as a wife if she is willing to be such." she chided gently. She didn't want such a strong willed woman to be forced into marriage.

Good good. Sefu's immediate reaction was a positive one. His paws bounced a little and he nodded along contently as he recieved a blessing for his plan and intentions. He could daydream to his heart's content now... wait... A little frown blossomed though as she finished. Willing. Well he had planned on wanting to enjoy himself however bold and brash his decision had been, with no consent to the other woman's wants or desires. But... willing did not mean happily... did not mean a happy end if any of mother's previous conquests were to be considered. "Was Dad willing?" Sefu asked of his sire pointedly, finding it unattractive to be lectured by his mother knowing what had befallen him. Did he know it all or were some truths merely withheld? He kept his features serious, considerate and attentive the Prince questioned and pushed at his mother.

Volcan had glanced away, hoping his reaction would be obedient, respectful to his mother. But instead her earned a sidelong glare and a quiet growl. "Of course he was willing to marry me, he basically crawled to me and begged for my heart after Drazhan's father tragically was found dead at the bottom of a cliff." she said, a sly smirk on her maw as her eyes narrowed. Her children all knew he had been pushed. "The only reason they met an ill fate was because they could not provide what they promised. They wouldn't have had to die if I could have simply thrown them away, divorced them. But that was not an option."

"Of course, of course " Sefu bit his tongue and sucked in his cheeks to keep himself from saying more. Rambunctious thoughts danced in his head- if his mother's antics in marriage were in any way different, better, worse, than what she was forbidding him to do. Was a consentual arraignment all that much more moral if it ended in such tragic endings? He did not think less of his mother for her actions; they were admirable in the least. Perhaps a little of his pride ended up wounded in the notion that he would have to strong arm a woman into such arraignments with him. Or that, as mothers often knew far too much of their children, she'd already put a nail into the coffin of an idea Sefu had been considering. He had his wants and he would seek them out selfishly... "I don't have a doubt she'd be as unsatisfactory as father." He would not have to take leaps and bounds his mother made. He was a tad too lazy to do so anyways....

Volcan side eyed her son. Had he perhaps planned to force a marriage on the girl, before she had said something? Sefu was always a.... Different boy. Not one to take no, like Drazhan- but scaled down on the aggression. As her youngest boy, the goddess babied him a bit more than his littermates. "I imagine, should you pursue her, interest her with you're skill, you can catch her eye. And as a prince- you offer her a place of respect within the kingdom. You are a walking treasure, my boy- you just need to shine for her." she purred, rubbing her cheek against her ever so slightly smaller son.

"That Erenvel, she's something else- so pretty, strong. Its a good thing you expressed interest in her, i may have pursued her myself." she chuckled.

Sefu,
Prince of Ignis Empire

A walking treasure? He beamed with the compliment and his features turned friendly, a wide grin and pleasure in his eyes. He leaned over to nudge his mom's chin and happily purr his agreement. "Of course- I don't have a worry I'll fail." He said confidently in hubris. Basking in those moments of uplift and compliments until Mom skillfully brought it all crashing down and sent a gross shiver down the man-boy's spine. "Mom - no." Sefu forbid with a look of disgust across his face. His tongue curled out across his lips and he made a 'blehhhh' sound while shaking his head to try and get that mental image out of his mind. The worst of it was imagining the relationship coming to the natural conclusion all of his mother's relations ended as. And what a waste that would be. "I called dibs." Sefu huffed like a petulant child and looked away from his mother with the biggest pouty face be could manage across his muzzle.

Volcan embraced her son, his confidence a boost to her own- to her self assurance of have raised her cubs right, to know their worth. They were demi gods, and they should act like it. But soon after, his face contorted to that of disgust, humoring the empress- a lot. She stepped back, a laugh booming in her chest from his expression. Don't worry my child, I have someone in mind already. She assured. They hadn't met Hunter yet, but soon she hoped to introduce him to all her children... Despite the age similarities. And with you're good looks, she should be honored of you're interest.
