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! 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).

The swamp, in his imagination a bubbling miasma that concealed crocodiles and oozed poison gas; treacherous, deadly, and not friendly towards children. Though he was not an ordinary child, he was a brave young Faust boy and he was here to conquer his fear the swamp. However a moment came in which his little paw stepped into something slimy and instantly he regretted the decision to explore this place of all possible places. The stench was of dead and decaying trees, burning into his nostrils, pulling his ears backwards slightly as he looked around to plan an escape path. All around him though were wet, mushy leaves that sunk in when he stepped near them, the squishing of mud between his toes about as unpleasant as everything else here. Why had he thought this would be a grand idea? Celadon gaze looked at the dim blue-lit surroundings in the late, near midnight hour, everything beginning to glow in a haunting manner and he felt as if it was closing in around him. His bold face stayed, though inside he was quaking.

Unable to find her way out of the swamps, Daphne had settled into the thickness as a shelter of sorts. The pale cub wandered with splashing steps through the moistened terrain with a slight bounce to her step, stubby tail wiggling behind her as she walked. Sure--it was not ideal. Her thick coat felt suffocating with how it slicked against her sides. Even in the goopiness of it all, Daphne could not help but be glad to be alive and forced to assume that she must be pressing closer to home. The alternative was far more difficult to bear.

The distinct sound of a squish snatched her attention in an instant, causing the child to turn her head to try and locate the source of the sound. Or, should she be running away? Daphne considered her options while feeling torn between the two, pursing her lips tightly together in consideration.

"Who's there?" She called out warily, meeting herself in the middle and deciding to stay put while inviting the mysterious something closer.

He thought he was out of the woods with scares and monsters, though the squishing of mud and dark water between his toes, accompanied by the slimy and grimy mud, made his little lips rise over his fangs in disgust. This hadn't been the most thought out idea, though he hoped he could live to tell mother about all the creatures he'd warded off here like the knight he was. And then a voice came. A shiver ran through his limbs and shrugged his shoulders as he froze in his place, swallowing hard before figuring that the voice - light - could not possibly be from a child eating monster. "Who're you?" Directly avoiding her question he plunged forward until he burst through a dried bush that snapped and crackled the moment he laid his eyes upon her, relief internally spreading knowing that now he wasn't alone (could he outrun her if something came to eat them though?). "Oh.. what are you doing out here? Are you stuck?" Innocently he'd actually quite forgotten she'd asked who he was, and he also didn't want to show off in front of her that his shoulder hurt where the mean bush had pricked him.

She heard a question ring out in response to her own, causing the girl to furrow her brow with irritation before she heard the splashing sounds of a determined approach. She took a few instinctual steps back as she watched its head break through the bushes--it, being a tiny cub. Relief washed over her like soothing waters instantaneously and she cracked a smile despite her previous irritation at being ignored.

"Oh, you're little, too!" She proclaimed with excitement. In all her wandering, this was the first cub she had met. She wondered if this was a wild child, sent to show her the ways of thriving on her own forever now that she had lost track of her pride.

"I'm not stuck, but I'm... lost," she corrected thoughtfully, forgetting that she was supposed to be very fearful against strangers. It just did not seem likely that a cub even younger than her could cause her harm. "Is this your home? It's really dirty. I mean, I still like it, but look how sticky I am," Daphne explained as she lifted an arm to demonstrate the swamp goop dripping from there.

Her smile caught him off guard for a moment until she called him little, and much like the throbbing vein within his head he felt a small huff pause at his lips and his brows furrow into concern to avoid fully becoming angry hurt. She probably just meant he was young, right? Not that he was quite minuscule in stature. And quickly enough her excitement erased the roller coaster of emotion he'd experienced in the span of just a few seconds, feeling his head nod along, though his much calmer (typically, anyways) nature made him feel like she was going much faster than he could keep up.

"Why are you out here alone?" The same could be said for him, but that thought hadn't crossed his mind. She was a girl and while Fenella had no boundaries, he knew other parents could be strict, right? "I'm... new here though. No where is home yet, especially not this place!" When she lifted her paw he laughed a little, shaking his head and lifting his own that was covered in brackish debris and some sticks. "But I'm kind of lost too.. only in the sense that I'm not really sure how to get out and..." At this part his voice sank a little and his ears settled back along his skull, though he did his best to puff out his chest and lift his body into a more confident stance even though he didn't feel it. "Something was following me earlier. It's in the water." He eyed her a little, but they were completely surrounded by water, what would they do next? "Do you remember how you got in here?"
