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!

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).

Volcanos are mountains too

The dark woman nodded a bit as the cub agreed to go with her to the more protected confines of the mountain cevessase. And so, with the goat in her jaws, she made her way down the jagged path, now lightly dusted with snow, sticking the the obsidian lioness's thick curly fur. It was quite a bit a ways down the mountain, and often her ember gaze slid to look down at the cub, yo make sure she hadn't slipped off the side or fallen too far behind. Eventually, the side of the mountain opened up, a ten foot tall crack, opened just enough for the goddess to crouch down and crawl into it, closing up neat the top of the outside to just appear as a scar in the mountainside. But once within, it opened up, the inside disappearing into an engulfing darkness. She settled onto the stony floor, still cold, but not covered in snow. The goat was now stiff, and Volcan chewed heavily to rip off a piece, and gave it to the cub.

She waited for the other to make the first move. Mostly because she was unsure of where this place was that she had wanted to take Fenella to. Little limbs did not hesitate to begin to follow when the time came, however. Easily she scrambled down the beaten path after the darker lioness. The snow clung to her limbs and even her belly since she was so close to the ground. She was a wet mess but seemed mostly unbothered for the moment. She had to keep a faster pace with her smaller legs as to not fall too far behind as they made the trek back down the slope.

Soon they were faced with a crack in the mountainside. Fen paused as her head lulled back to look it over. Gaze snapped down just as the lioness slipped through the crevice and vanished into the darkness beyond. As if the mountain swallowed her inside. Fen swallowed back the slight fear that had bubbled up. With her head still high and chest slightly puffed out, she too squeezed her way into the confines of the mountain.

It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the darker light, but eventually, she was able to make out the body that lay on the stone floor. She gave a small shake to rid herself of any loose droplets before she too settled down somewhat near Volcan, but only within paw distance. Eagerly she waited for the new piece of the meal. "Do you have kids, miss Volcan?"

The maiden watched as the cub made her way into the crack, shaking snow from her fur and settling close to the dark woman. But the question was a pleasant surprise to heer ears. And opportunity to talk of the offspring she had wandering these lands. Her pride and joy. She calmed herself, not wanting to sound overly enthusiastic as she spoke of them, after all- they were grown. Yes, I do- I have six children. All are adults now. But I love them dearly. I have two oldest, three years of age, a son and a daughter. My boy, very ambitious. Sometimes it makes me wonder if he would challenge me for dominance- whichbi would whoop him with motherly love..... And my claws. she chuckled. From my second litter I have three two year olds. I haven't seen one in a while, but I have a son and a daughter who visit me often- Petra and Sefu. Sefu is my lovely strange boy, a little odd but it's quite charming to me. Petra is a powerful woman. I feel she could lead armies one day. she said. And then her gaze softened, her smile a solemn, almost wistful one, And then I have a yearling. My delicate, delicate youngest..... They are cursed with albinism- im..... Not sure if you know what that means. But.... They suffer in the sun. she said.

Fenella began the task of tearing into the hunk of meat one bite at a time. She was still careful to listen. Ears leaned in the direction of the lioness. Her eyes were upon her in interest. A smile behind each chew. She sat mostly still, other than the movement of her head and jaws as she ate. Her curiosity peaked at the thought of her children. They sounded like fun, even though they were older than her. "Maybe one day I can meet them." Ever hopeful as she spoke such a bold request. She didn't understand that what she wanted was beyond the norm. "I have a brother!" She excitedly mentioned it as if it would be something that the lady cared to know.

By now, the newborn goat carcass was nearly stripped clean, and the dark lady pushed it towards the cub so she may tear pff the bits left. Perhaps someday you shall meet them. Your family is living on the lake, yes? I plan to establish a kingdom.... Er- a pride there. she said. And your lucky to have a sibling. When I was young, I was treated a bit.... Differently, to say the least. I had no siblings to play with, but I did have a friend. I haven't seen him in a long time..... But I hope someday we will meet again. she said. After a while, she stood, taking a deep breath, Come along, little one, I'll take you home.

She was glad that the woman didn't automatically shrug off her little comment about her brother. "And another!" She tried to interject quickly. She mustn't forget her other, even though he was seen very little and it left Fen to wonder why. Regardless, she took the leftover carcass as it was given to her. Ears twitched toward Volcan as Fen carefully knawed the rest of the meat that still clung to the bones. "I don't have friends. Unless you are my friend?" She asked as she paused in her chews but quickly she returned to the ribs as she used claws to dig between for the last bits and pieces.

Regrettable she would pull away from the meal and toward the light of the crevice mouth as Volcan suggested she return her home. Tongue swiped at her lips. "Well, okaaaay." Home was so boring, but Fenella was raised to mostly obey her elders. Even if the child was unsure a stranger counted. She would wait there for Volcan to join her before she followed out.
