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).

Like an any day Walford couldn't help but seek water and splash around. And the lake offered just that. Water was that feeling you feel but can't describe it because of how nice it feels, that was him with water in his mane.

Although wet and cold it didn't phase him, growing up near water and playing it. It was a great enjoyment for him. Except today he figured he invite a fellow friend out to maybe enjoy this wonderful day.

Treading his paw in for a paw dip, he didn't realize he hadn't planted his back legs probably and soon found himself face first into the late.

"Oh, finally trying to drown yourself, love?" Hildryn comments mildly as she emerges from the treeline onto the lake banks, peering at the familiar pale butt and tail sticking up out of the shallow water. Walford was not too familiar of a face, but she knew him from their circles and could easily enough recognize his antics. She was kidding of course, and if it looked like he was struggling she would be sure to rescue him from his own foolhardiness. Hildryn comes to a halt at the lake shore, and neatly drops to a seated position. Her split tail tips curl neatly over her silky-furred paws - protectively. "I would so hate to report to the captain that you had fallen to ankle-deep water."

Face first into the ankle deep shallow of water that no possible lion even a cub wouldn't mange to fall into it was that Walford was very easily able to. The sound of a familiar voice the particular one he invited over was heard...Well just as a mumble from the water within his ears.

Emerging his head from the water, swishing mane back away from his head with but a subtle paw flick, he at last could see. "Ah yes Hildryn you made and no I wasn't. The only one that can drown me is me." with a slight pause he realized what he said. "Wait...I am me and was faced first into the water."

Paw after paw he made it to ledge she was sitting at and plonked his behind next to her.

There were bubbles coming up around his face and Hildryn stifled a laugh into a polite cough. She was counting the seconds though. If he refused to hoist himself up, she was about to grab him by the scruff and do it herself. His pride be damned.

He thankfully rises, gasping and flicks wet mane out of his eyes. Hildryn lifts a brow doubtfully at him. ”You say that honey but I haven’t seen anything to say otherwise yet.” was she being unnecessarily tough on him? Yes. But that seemed a habit amongst these pirate folk. She needed to fit in. The healer flicks her tail thoughtfully.

Walford made the mistake of padding toward her to the bank, and as he plopped himself down beside her he splashed the pale woman with water. ”Oh, must you come over here sopping wet?” she fussed, her tone scolding, ”It’s so hard to dry out my fur, you oaf.” She swipes a few licks over her shoulder, smoothing down her pelt.

"Yes, I must. Who else am I going to share all this water with." as plonked himself next her some water got onto her. Swiping the drips over her shoulder. Chuckling at the thought hard to get water out her mane he found it funny. He knew he'll take any chance to get wet.

"Hard to get water out. Hildryn doesn't me me long to dry." with a subtle pause standing up. All fours planted he leant forward and firmly shaking his head, flicking water everywhere with his mane flicking all over the place.

Hildryn squinted at him through her bangs, displeasure rising upon her features as he threatened what she was suspecting. He had better not, or she was going to thoroughly tell him off. Admittedly though, that didn't seem to be dissuading him. Hildryn pursed her lips.

She scarcely has enough time to rise and make an unlady-like leap to the side when she sees his plans - he plants his paws and shakes himself wildly. "Oh!" she gasps in dismay as cold water is jettisoned against her right side, "Oh you are cruel!" she distances herself with hurried steps away from him, her long fur half-drenched. A scowl darkened her brow. "What did you do that for!"

After shaking the water off well out of his fur but more so his long wavy mane all over Hildryn. He couldn't but help chuckle. "See didn't take me long to dry off." he exclaimed while chuckling. "I did it to show show how fast I clean myself after a dip in the water."

Mane dry now was the sand. Shaking his vigorously thrashing sand about to get every little grain out. "See now my paws clean." by her looks she wasn't one to be happy with him but he found it funny to say the least.

"You are a rascal!" she fussed, beginning to groom out her wet fur with angry licks... but her temper only simmered for a few moments before she frowned at Walford again. "Why not bathe like a normal person?" she sighs at him, shaking her head in disbelief. His antics were truly bewildering to her. She supposed he did not have the class of upbringing she had had. "You have pond weed in your mane too, dear." She pointed it out with a dainty paw.

"I should suspect you would rather smell like a lake though, than be presentable." Hildryn disliked that idea. She sighed again. "You are worse than a cub." She was about to do the lion equivalent of spitting on a hankie and rubbing in on his face if he didn't buck his ideas up.

Hildryn gave expressions of annoyance towards him but that was excepted when you hang around him. When not in anything serious such meetings or invites out this is usually how he is. "I take your rascal as a compliment." with a grin to his face. "Bathing as a normal person is no fun when you can do it the Walford way." you either bath normal or have some fun doing it.

Weed in my mane you say..." with a subtle pause he thought about shaking it out but this time he'd keep it in. "...I'll keep it in for now as the waves of the weed match my mane waves." he said so cheerfully with a smile.

"Well, what you call the 'Walford Way' is uncouth." she sniffs, smoothing down her fur. It would take forever to try out her mane. It lay in damp strands against her neck now, though the roots were still fortunately dry. She frowned at him.

It only further serves to frustrate the pale woman as he then refuses to fix his mane. Hildryn doesn't even ask, and stalks over with a determined expression. Placing a firm paw on his shoulder, she lifted herself up to try pick it out of his mane with her teeth - she was absolutely not letting him leave it there. "Hold still." she warns him sternly.
