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!

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).

Lioness of Junior Member
Played by Javs


she followed the stars in the twilight sky and the dawn sun as it crested high above the clouds. she followed the rivers and creeks and fish upstream and the lizards and bugs under rockfalls and ledges. she followed and followed until her paws were raw and her stomach felt hollow, but the incessant drum of her heart and the thrill of the unknown kept her moving.

villanelle was particularly gloomy this evening, her head held low between her shoulders and her steps a sloppy shuffle of noise. the moon had begun to claim its place in the sky, easing up past sister sun as she begun her descent. the land was crumbling more and more with each step she took and the cat's nose wrinkled tightly in a sneeze as dust clouded around her. stones wedged between his toes and she winced uncomfortably at the sensation, but had little motivation to remove them as a thin drizzle started from above.

the scent of other lions was here, but stale, and villanelle rolled her eyes at the thought of coming face to face with any of the natives. the first thing she learned in her adventures was that not all were as welcoming as her kinfolk. just ahead, an overhang of rocks jutted out from one of the strange stone columns and villanelle dashed over to take shelter from the impending rain.

it was not ideal, but she had been in situations with far less during her travels. the wind lashed around her and before long, the rain was coming down in sheets, wide blue eyes gazing out as the water made tiny streams over the wastes.

Empress of Ignis Empire
Played by Karasu


The wastelands were a familiar place, sort of like the volcano wrecked homeland she was accustomed to. So as she walked through the daytime heat, her thick fur didn't burden her- rather, she had developed it in a way that her undercoat was thin, nit as insulating, and released the burning in her flesh easily. Her overgrown claws carried her easily over the rocks and sand, until finally the sun was not a burden any longer- rather, the chill of the desert cold as the moon hung in the sky. She was a desert woman, so it was not a stinging cold, but as clouds violently rolled in and the wind began to whip the downpour every which way, it set into her bones and caused an ache that her long locks could not prevent. She shook out her fur to no avail, and sped up. To her dismay, the rain washed away the scent she had been following- that of her oldest daughter. She gained a fearsome, irate panic, violent and glorious, until she picked up the scent of a lioness- it was her only hope. It was washrd out, thin and indecipherable, but her only chance to find her precious child.... Even though she was well grown. Following the scent, a figure, head low appeared- blurry through the drenching rain, and Volcan's paws carried her quickly to the figure, and she stopped in front of her- only to see it wasn't her daughter. She frowned and huffed a bit, glancing off to the side. I thought you were another. she stated.
