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!

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!

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).

Lion of Prideless
Played by Nova

One day here and gone the next; now more than ever it was hard to stay in one spot for very long. Atlas was true to his name and made traveling his most prominent hobby. Socializing wasn't his greatest trait but he could easily say that he missed having company to make conversation with. That it was relaxing to shoot shit with someone who was just as eager as he was. Alas, he didn't have much of a home to go back to and he certainly didn't want to go back either.

Atlas was content to simply lay by the lake and muse to himself, picturing a nice fawn for dinner and perhaps a stroll towards the woods if he was feeling adventurous tonight. It was a bachelor's life for him and he enjoyed it - under the premise that he didn't know any other life other than how to live alone.

Rue,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Cat


Her descent from the mountain top was slow coming. She had rather enjoyed the snow-covered peaks and the frigid chill of the air. However, it was not nearly close enough to be her oceanic sanctuary. So instead she picked a path down toward the east. She had yet to reunite back with her crew, but she assumed they were coming along somewhere. After all, she was their captain.


The cold had let some time ago, even before she has seen the lake. She had just passed a tree line and came to stand at the water edge. It stretched out before her like an untouched pool of crystal clear liquid. It took moments, if not minutes, for her to get past the awe of the place and take notice of what lurked around. Or laid. Just off to one side and around a bend from her, she spotted him.

Even in his lowered position across the ground, she could tell he was a larger build. Were all males within this new kingdom this size? A brow raised as she decided her approach- or lack of. Eyes cast away from the brute and returned to the still surface. Neck arched and lowered her feminine cranium until her tongue was able to cup the precious cold water below.

The Lake was pleasant and it certainly served a purpose today as he lounged without care near to its body. Perhaps that was the great thing about being a lion was that he could happily stick to the perimeter of the Lake and not feel bombarded by a million living and breathing entities. There was silence all around him as he could hear birds for miles making their sounds as well as other animals but the birds were the most noticeable. That was until his lilac eyes peered over the bend and noticed a blue creature, a lioness by the looks of it.

The lady was far from him but he was certain that he could see something from out of her mouth and immediately his face morphed into a huh position. Carefully evaluating the chances of running into someone that had longer fangs than most. His littermate hadn't had anything even close to his fangs yet here he was watching a stranger with them. Maybe he wasn't so strange after all - or as special, he made a careful note of but was determined to not let it bother him. Instead, he allowed the woman her peace unless she opted for more interaction. With as quiet a place like this it was difficult to discern if someone wanted company or not.

The lake water was cool and gave her a refreshed feel. Her mouth now moistened once more after the drink. Slowly she pulled her eyes back toward the bend where she could just make out the brute along it. He had made no move to rise and approach. Rue considered the fact she should leave him be. However, she could not deny the curiosity that nagged at her. With a grunt, she rose from her crouch and shook away the dirt that had managed to find a way to cling to her fur.


She wasted no time as she turned to face his direction. A simple smile slapped on to her lips as she meandered forward with a gentle sway of her feminine hips. Casually she flung back the locks, and braid or two, that had fallen forward. She would stop with a few lion lengths to part them. "Ahoy thar' matey! Care t' share yer relaxation, or be that too forward o' me t' ask?"
