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!

Keep an eye out soon for those. Also it appears that Eoin has been wandering around Aesseldar and may be up to no good... best get checking on his apperances for some good old fashion fun, and maybe even a sweet surprise!

We have a number of things still to come, including a lighter colored layout, accessories in the shop, and would love to remind everyone that the top right series of three vertical dashes will open up the sidebar.

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.

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.

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 small child molded of stone wandered the forest for a long time with bold, stoic face. Internally however relief had washed over him as he found something other than the complete darkness he'd been met by in the woodland. Instead it had opened up to a large meadow of lavender; a light breeze making the flower tips dance. He had to remind himself that the woodland hadn't been that scary, for he'd need to go through it once more in order to make his way back home. Until then, however, the forest was a level playing field. The last traces of sunlight streaked across the sky and stretched like long, pastel fingers of orange and pink, purple and blues so soft that they plumped the clouds around them. A dim light of purple and orange settled over the grade, and he found himself scurrying on top of a rock. From here his shoulders and chest angled down, rump raised high in the air as he eagerly awaited some little, unsuspecting creature to cross his path so he could practice his hunting.

Lioness of Junior Member
Played by Mara

She is likely not the little plaything the boy is expecting to emerge from her nest of a nearby hollowed tree, the entrance of it covered with a fallen branch to conceal it. Like always, Arcane pulls herself from her den as darkness begins to swallow the land. She blends in easier in the dark, and there’s little threat in being out and alone. It’s early for her, however, but sleep has eluded her for the past few hours and she’s more than a little restless.

The storm coated lioness slips easily through the trees, a soundless spectre in a place unfamiliar and new. She’s been here perhaps a week now and the land is rather… empty, she thinks. If there are prides, she’s yet to find one. Not that she will join whatever kingdom may or may not be out there - Arcane is not a woman to bend to the will of others, no matter how boring and lonesome isolation may be.

The scuffling noises are a surprise - dark ears flick down against her crown, but curiosity pulls her closer to the source. There’s a little cub on a rock, bringing his waifish frame almost level with her shoulders. A brow quirks over a sunset hued eye. "Aren’t you a little young to be out here alone?" She asks placidly, though she does scent the air again to ensure there’s no lurking parent nearby - if there is one, she can’t smell them.

So many things were yet beyond the grasp and understanding of his mind. He could wrap his mind around prides and gathering, but he didn't yet have a care for them nor a need to. For him regardless of where he came from or where he ended up, his loyalty was to his family and to the values which they upheld, whether that included a pride or not he would one day see, but for now his mind was easily distracted and occupied by much simpler and more rudimentary things. Caught up in his expectation that a creature may wander between the tall florets he is taken off guard and surprise briefly crosses his features as he startles just enough to jump a half an inch and grasp the rock once more. Darkened circles around his eyes accentuate the green and vibrant hue within, his head tilting towards her and his voice surprisingly cool as he tried to fake it until he made it. "Aren't you.." For a second he struggled to think of something good to come back at her with, but he couldn't find anything quite insulting or smart enough to quip back. Disappointment easily passed across his face, huffing a little. "I was expecting a bug or a lizard not someone to ask me ten questions." Despite the content of his words it wasn't a quip nor sarcastic, it was caught somewhere between innocent and a little naive at the potential danger that she could pose.
