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!

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!

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.

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).

Hehe snow go brrrr

Lioness of Prideless
Played by Karasu

The cold did little to distract the huntress. The snow crunched, but the sound of trees shifting and ice crackling made the noises she produced seem like normal. Ahead of her was the pale form of a snowshoe hair. Perhaps her red coat would stick out- yes, but she had rolled thoroughly in fresh snow, and she looked like a patch of dirty snow. Albeit moving. The hare idly chewed a dead piece of grass, its ears up in the air and its nose twitching constantly, on the lookout for danger. It looked at her once. She froze, it stared for a long time before looking away and she headed forward towards her target once again. Suddenly the ground beneath Soule gave way to a shallow hole, where the ice had frozen over like a fragile sheet- and the sound was like shattering glass. The hare took off, and the lioness leapt after it, but in the deep snow and the hare's body being built specifically for the terrain, it quickly got away, and defeated she growled, sighing.

Jaws were clenched tightly as the cold whipped at her sides, leaping at her face and eyes as the wind beat against her slate frame. While she may look built for the cold she was anything but, she was a pirate, not a snowbird. Yet her sister had wanted them to scout, so scout she would. Of course she doubted her sister would want this winter wasteland. Yet still, she made her way across it, shivers wracking her frame despite her swift motion – as fast as she could go in snow – towards the cluster of trees. About halfway there though, motion to her right caught her attention. A snow hare, bolting past like hellhounds were on its heels. Blinking once, twice she turned in the direction it had come from and caught sight of the snow covered lioness. Ahhh so that was the problem.


She moves once again, heading towards the lioness and halting mere feet from her. "It is built for snow, you. Not so much. Do not feel bad." She comments, glancing in the direction from which she had come and the rabbit had gone. "Easier prey in other lands." Which it was true, there were easier food in the other lands.

Soule shook most the snow from her frame as the blue woman approached her. They were of similar build, her being a bit heavier since Soule was still before her prime.
It is built for snow, you. Not so much. Do not feel bad. Easier prey in other lands.
Soule smiled slightly and chuckled, "well, I enjoyed the cold and happened to see it. No harm in a little challenge. I didn't expect to catch it really- just overachieving." she explained. Lavender eyes laid upon her blue, shivering form, and she frowned a bit in concern. She seemed kind enough, concern should be okay. Its not like she had any prey to steal. "Are you alright?"

Ah so the other claimed it was merely a challenge to see if she could catch the hare but hadnt expected to do so. It made sense she guessed, challenging yourself, pushing yourself. "Ah I see. Pushing yourself to see what you can do?" She had done that before with herbs, seeing how many she could find and identify successfully in a set amount of time. It had been kind of fun if she was honest. "I dont see the appeal to the cold." She admitted, shoulders rolling into a slight shrug. She was used to warmer weather than this, and yet here she stood freezing her butt off. The others question caused a confused look to cross her face. "I am well. Why?" It was nice to find one who was concerned enough to ask. "Are you from these lands?? Might as well gather information if the other was from these lands, right?

Soule smiled as she said she was fine, but she felt doubtful still staring at her shivering form. She wasn't a fan of the cold, and that made sense- not everyone could handle these temperatures. And the snow and ice added to the bite of it. "Im not. But I am from a land similar- a tundra that is always cold, but not often does snow pile like this. So I can deal with the frost, but these thick banks are still foreign to me. I have only seen it in the mountains." she admitted. "Im Soule. Would you like to walk with me to help keep your blood pumping?" she asked kindly. Excessive helped with the cold.

I have only seen it in the mountains. Ahh so that explained why the other was not being wracked with shivers like she was. Her body was used to the cold, where as Vexs body was used to higher temperatures. Nodding her head in response to the others words, before glancing about the area to note the snow that covered the ground. It was pretty sure, but she preferred her warmer climates. "I see, it explains then why you seem comfortable here. My family and me are from warmer climates." Her gaze turned then, back towards the other female. Im Soule. Would you like to walk with me to help keep your blood pumping? She was not used to others being kind, nor offering up their names without being asked. Though she figured it would hurt nothing, to offer her own name. "Nice to meet you, Soule. I am Vex. A walk sounds pleasant. Which direction shall we head?" She would ask, waiting for Soule to lead the way.
