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).

Unsure of what he'd been expecting when he found his way into the tunnels of the catacombs, the only certainty he had is that it wasn't what he was witnessing now. The bio-luminescent surroundings lit the cavern in a dim blue that streaked and reflected in the waters to his right. The cavern occasionally broke through to the night sky above but for the most part it was just a damp and craggy series of paths which split and rejoined the underground creek. The dampness clung to the walls and stalactites began growing down from the sides in long spires of uneven and gnarled ridges. Darkened green eyes hid behind the dark circles of his face, crawling slowly in until he found himself at the water's edge, peering into the glassy surface and wondering if any creatures lurked beneath there, would they pull him into the shadowy depths if he lingered too long?

so sorry for the wait!

It would appear that the young girl had a knack for getting herself lost. While first entering the opening she found along the mountains seemed like a good idea for an adventure, the maned child eventually found herself turned around beneath the catacombs, uncertain of which way was out. All Kya could do was keep walking in one direction in hopes of either finding a way out or finding someone to help her out of the caves.

The longer she walked in the darkness, though, the more the child could feel her heartbeat rise. There was a panic settling in, bringing with it the thought that she might never get out of the darkness. The orphan's pace quickened in this panicked state, as if running through the darkness would bring her to rescue that much quicker. She barely noticed where she was going before arriving onto the sight of a strange light beneath the earth. She had never seen anything like it before as Kyarri's honeyed gaze was swept all around the cavern. Though her pace had slowed, her attention was not in where she was walking. While her head was raised, gazing upon the spires that fell from the ceiling of the caves, Kya would likely manage to bump right into the other cub without noticing him in front of her.

The time spent with his eyes meticulously searching the depths of the water was lost on him. In the distance there were small echoes of movements and idle drips of moisture, sometimes falling onto the hard earth and other times making small ripples in the water. It was these droplets that pulled his attention back down and transfixed him, even his breathing felt like it had completely stopped.

Then it happened.

A small body crumpled into his side and he felt himself pushed over a few inches, his breath sucked in suddenly and his body whipped around to stare at her directly, lips cautiously raised before he realized that it was... it was another cub. The brash reaction from before mostly at his own inattentiveness, but suddenly with his alarm slowing he relaxed and let the tense breath go. "Hey! Watch it!" But that was too harsh, and he wasn't really terribly upset at her, no, he was just mad at himself and mad that he'd gotten so interested in the water and the lights reflecting off of them that this was really his own fault. Mother would be disappointed with his behavior, a good warrior was aware of their surroundings. "Where were you going? You could have fallen into the water you know." The last bit said with a degree of concern that he tried to hide, and the fear that if she had fallen in that he wouldn't have been able to effectively help her.

The other thing that hadn't dawned on him is that outside of roughhousing with his sister, he wasn't quite sure how interact with other cubs, let alone girls.
