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!

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 rainforest is bursting with life, and Hildryn adored it. There were few places she had really appreciated for their beauty yet on her travels. She'd spent too much time by the lake in her own opinion and was keen to scout out fresh land. And this honestly seemed to be the most vibrant locale she had stumbled across. There were so many plants... it reminded her of her youth.

Hildryn's pale head dips to inspect some flowers growing creeper-like up the trunk of a damp-barked tree. Hibiscus, she thought. Once dried, the leaves and flowers would be excellent for cold symptoms and lowering a fever. With a pause, the small lioness scents the tree with a push of her jaw and neck against the leaves. She had no claws to leave markers, so this would do to find her way back. She didn't need these sort of remedies right now.

Instead, she was looking for chamomile and comfey. Those would be better for the types of wounds her clan tended to come across. Though she would definitely need a bit of everything for her stores.

The rain forest was very alive. Monkeys leapt from limb to limb in the trees above, the canopy was buzzing with life and forever moving. Birds of all kinds of species, mostly paradise birds, put on brilliant dances to attract females. But all this beauty was lost on the obsidian goddess below as she stalked beneath them through the forest, shrill alarm calls sounding and stopping as she passed the frightened creature. They had every right to be frightened in the presence of divine blood, for she was walking death If They dare be anything but afraid. But Volcan had a goal this noon, the goliath woman seeked certain herbs for her smallest, most delicate child, to craft a salve and relieve their pelt of the sun's onslaught. In her mind she tumbled the names over and over. She hadn't learned much before she left, but the month before her departure from her home tribe she had spend many hours with the old shaman, learning of the herbs she needed to know to care for her youngin. The shaman knew what she was going to do, but never opposed. The shaman was wise, after all. The crackled lady searched for basil here in the rain forest, a plant that desired moist land to grow. Ember gaze looked over every green plant on the ground, up on soil deposits, and even In the sprouting crags of tree roots- but as her fiery eyes scanned, she spotted the form of a small white lioness, a ethereal creature, stark against the greenery. A pretty little target. The obsidian lady strode forward, head held high, a sly but flirtatious smirk on her cracked maw. What a pretty little nephilim you are, what's a tiny angel like you doing all alone out here? she purred, rubbing her side up against a tree rught beside her.

Hildryn peruses the undergrowth with attentive, glancing eyes. She smelt each potential plant, comparing them to her memory of what the little plants she sought looked like. She brushes aside a hanging vine with her muzzle and scents a patch growing haywire from the hollow of a rotting stump. Not quite it.

She is drawn from her thoughts by the sound of paws, nearly muffled on the dense leaf-litter. Hildryn straightens up, fixing alert blue eyes on the fiery-marking stranger. A lioness. She was far taller than herself.

A nephilim, she is called, angel. Hildryn’s expression flickers to perplexed amusement. ”Searching for herbs.” she answered coolly, watching the dark-pelted woman move toward her. The confidence she oozed was unexpected. ”Though I am not having as much luck as I had hoped.”

The pretty little creature turned towards her larger counterpart, Volcan's eyes flicking immediatly to her folded ears. She was one of few that had ears so peculiar, the other being the obsidian lady herself with ears curled like demon horns above her head. She chuckled slightly, stretching out one leg to release stiffness.
Searching for herbs - though I am not having as much luck as I had hoped.
The angel replied, peaking Volcan's interest. What a pleasant coincidence- I also am looking for an herb. Perhaps, if you can tell me what your looking for, we may search together~~? she suggested, standing up straight now in front of the white woman. She was a precious creature, and while her words were sort of edged, Volcan did not take offense- after all, she was a very large lioness.

They were visually opposites. It didn't go unnoticed to Hildryn, but she thought it indecorous to linger on such a thing, regardless of how unusual the fiery-marked woman appeared. Hildryn shuffles back from the webbing of vines trailing over her back, and sets her full attention upon the stranger.

Her ears twitched, listening to Volcan's reply. She was suprised, but some of her initial uncertainty dissolved. "Is that so, dear?" Hildryn echoed with a note of interest in her voice, "I don't see why not. We could cover a larger area." it's half musing to herself, but ends up an agreement. "I'm looking for chamomile and comfey, to treat surface wounds." She thinks of her recovering captain. "What of yourself?"

The obsidian lady smirked slightly as the angel woman agreed they could search for herbs together, listening as she told what she searched for. I search for basil, to create a burn poltice for my youngest child. They suffer from albinism. But, i do say, you would be lucky to find chamomile here- it's a plant that prefers dry soil. she stated. But as tolerant as it is, i wouldn't be suprised if we do find some here in the rain forest. Maybe beneath on of the cave like root systems of a tree, where it would stay dryer. she suggested, curled ears flicked back in consideration. Basil prefers light shade, like chamomile- but thrives in damp soil, like fungus. You seem like you would know quite a bit about this stuff- lead the way, little angel. she purred.
