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!

11/19/2020 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).

Yet another location that Tintalle hadn't quite had the opportunity to meddle with but seeing as she was a friend of the cold rather than the heat, it made sense why not. She'd prefer to be shrouded in the warm embrace of the woodlands than to be out in the desert area where it was a lot dryer. Another one of those ploys to be out and about, navigating the neutral areas to find more lions whether to recruit, befriend or make an alliance with. Each moment she spent away from the pride hurt but she knew that it was the smart thing to do if she wanted to continue to grow the ranks of her pride and its foundation.

Now this was the sort of place he was used to. Granted, he didn't want to be back in memories of his past, but he couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of the sun on his back and the sand under his paws. That, and it seemed most avoided this area simply because it was so barren and hot. Though, he had found Drakon wandering here previously.

There was, once again, another in the distance, but he didn't make a beeline for them. He kept them in his line of sight though, open to the idea of them approaching him if they felt like it. He wasn't one to initiate conversation, unfortunately. Or fortunately, depending on how one viewed things. It seemed to be a lioness over there, one larger than he was used to seeing, which was intriguing, but not enough to push him out of his introverted nature.

Thus it happened to be that Seraphiel had come across just the perfect individual. Tintalle was not very enthused by the idea of sand, dirt and dust so her attention was trying desperately to find anything else that might be of some excitement or interest to her. There were a few plants as she wandered that could come in handy should someone need healing and patch up work but so far she hadn't seen a real fight. Though as she stared at one plant in particular she could see just a little further beyond was a lion who she could swear looked at her first.

A smile came across her features as she began making her way towards him. Looked like a dark brown and cream male, similar to Abraham's colors though vastly different. Hello, she called to him as soon as she was close enough to be heard. Bright blue eyes showing signs of hope that he would welcome the attention and conversation. Meanwhile wondering where have all the ladies gone? She seemed to only ever find men. Not that she was complaining but it seemed she was only destined to find males in Aesseldar and never women.

He'd gotten her attention it seemed, and she was clearly more than willing to come talk to him as she began to come over. He slowed his pace and then stopped entirely as she called to him, nodding his head politely in greeting. Of course, he would have to come up with something more than that, and while he was momentarily stumped he dug something up that seemed a reasonable conversation starter.

"This place, it feels like home," he commented, scanning the desert around him. "Though I'm surprised to find another here," he concluded, returning his gaze to her. From what he'd gathered from the other lands, his fellow lions preferred to live in areas with a bit more water.

Tintalle had only met one other lion that preferred the dustier area to that of lush greenery. A man built on the love of a past home rather than building around what was convenient. So when the dark male offered up something personal about him she internally squealed. Pleased that he was opening up even if it was just a little, it meant she had someone to make conversation with and that was always good. Just wandering, getting my feel for more of the land. She smiled, looking around at the waste before dropping the inevitable, I've a pride to the northwest so I really came out to look for resources. More food, herbs, tracks from passing herds - other than that, they were pretty solid within Ithilien. She had no reason to ever wish to leave but unfortunately it had to be done sometimes. I've met another that was quite smitten by this sort of scenery. It is quite majestic. That was the most wonderful answer that she could've come up with. Any other word it sounded weird but majestic fit the bill completely and it really just summed up how extraordinary nature had to be.

Ah, so she was one of those who dwelled within one of the current prides in the land. He knew there weren't many, and some of them seemed to change by the day, but he knew a good pride could be a home and a family. It was no surprise to him that so many sought them out, but he was content to wait for what he wanted, for a king or queen he knew he could trust. Until then, he would linger near the shoreline and protect those who dwelled there.

"It is," he agreed, "though it can be dangerous as well." He'd seen dust storms ravage the landscape, and lightning arc from the sky to turn the sand sharp and jagged. Not to mention the threat of no food and water. It took a certain sort to thrive there, and he worried briefly that she had run into one of his own before dismissing the idea. She hadn't spoken of the other unkindly, as he knew she would have had she encountered another of his old pride.

"Not much by the way of resources here," he commented, "unless you want a cactus." There were far better places to look for plants and animals in these lands, he thought. But for this view? No, she was right, this place was one of few.

Tintalle could believe it completely that this was a beautiful but dangerous place to live. The very first thing she thought upon coming to these desert areas was that it was so dry and lacking; it didn't hold anything to the Forest that she lived in or the Grove that she frequented often. She enjoyed more of the thriving gardens and foliage than that of dust and rocks, and cactuses at that. Certainly not a place for me. I'm more accustomed to life within the forests. Just as I'm sure there are plenty of people who enjoy the desert rather and know how to work around the scarce resources. Tintalle was quite certain that they had their own tips and tricks to surviving in this climate, within this area. Perhaps he knew how to get around the lack of assistance from the dusty biome.

He wasn't entirely opposed to living in the forest, just as honestly he wasn't opposed to living anywhere that he could think of. A place was just a place. It was those around you who made it meaningful in any way. He hadn't known that before coming here, if he was being honest. "There is a place for everyone," he said simply. That certainly seemed to be the case, even here. He enjoyed being able to see all the different areas beyond the one he had grown up in, including the ocean which he had never suspected existed. Such a vast expanse of water he could never have imagined existed. "At least these lands have plenty of options."
