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.

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).

winter sucks

One saving grace of the rainforest was the humidity to keep some warmth in, though it was little use against the torrential rainfall. His breath snaked from his partially opened jaws in plumes of vapor. His ears had gotten used to the sound of heavy drops of rain pound against the broad leaves and trees of his chosen home. Though he might've chosen somewhere with plenty of caves for the winter, hindsight is 20/20. Instead, he had to fashion a den from branches, rock, and broad leaves to have anything remotely dry to reside in. Runar was hoping to run into some new faces or to find something to eat.

Matthias actually quite liked the rainforest, which surprised even himself. Though he had camouflage advantage in the colder areas, the man preferred the warmth and good covering that the rainforest provided.

Rain is just nature's national shower. He was not hiding in his den or scrambling for cover, but searching around for the best spot to take his heavenly shower. The water poured down and pooled together upon the broad leaves of the trees, falling down in clumps as the weight of the water finally caused the leaves to falter. He was searching for the perfect patch of leaves that would all be angled downwards already, so that the water would come down in multiple little streams and land upon him. It was not enough that they would just fall in trickles around him, or the occasional pond-fall. No no, he needed something steady.

It was along his journey that he scented the familiar smell of a man he'd met rather recently. Oh, that new King dude! Did I cross the border? it was possible that the rain had washed away the scent markers; surely the man would understand it wasn't on purpose, if he did.

He followed the scent, the rain making the ordeal more difficult than normal, until it no longer mattered that he did. He'd spotted the man a few yards away, nearly hidden amongst the thick undergrowth and low-hanging branches, and strided forward.

“I come in peace,” he said casually, a cheerful tone hidden underneath the words. His head remained high in self-confidence, a smile--almost mischievous--faintly revealed on his face. But he kept his tail lowered, and kept an otherwise restrained and respectful posture. Despite how dismissively he treated the man before, Matthias wasn't a guy to disrespect another (on purpose) if they didn't deserve it, “How do you fair?”

The sheets of rain would eventually bestow a somewhat familiar face. His shape distorted but definitely there. Perhaps the most amusing thing about lions with full manes is they often looked drowned when it rained. The striped emperor’s fur was slicked with the weather, and the long tendrils of his red mane draped over his shoulders. The other male’s voice cut through the pounding rain as he came into focus the closer he got. ”I should hope so.” He would answer, a small smirk blossoming on his pale masked face. ”Other than drenched, I’m fine. You?”

“Embrace the rain, man. It's nature's shower,” he commented matter-of-factly, deciding then to take a seat, tail turling loosely around his limbs, “I'm using this time to clean the harder to reach places. I just stopped by 'cause I just so happened to have picked up on your scent. Am I trespassing?” Matthias didn't sound particularly concerned. It was more a question out of curiosity than caution. He found no fault in his actions, “So, I'm kind of curious. Why'd you decide to make a pride of your own? And why the rainforest specifically?” not that the rainforest was a bad choice; just that he wanted to know why the rainforest, out of every place else within the surrounding mountains.

"If I had a problem with the rain, I wouldn't have chosen the rainforest as my home." He would respond, ensuring there was amusement in his tones so the male would not assume him to be angry instead. The other would continue talking, speaking of hard to reach places which Runar could respond to say any lake or river would do just the same. He opted not to. "No, you're not trespassing. This area is outside my boundaries." He would state with ease. "Power has its allure. I would prefer to make my own paradise versus trying to fit it into someone else's vision. Does that make sense?" He would both answer and ask, tongue snaking out to catch some of the drops of water falling from his muzzle. A fruitless action, it was raining and rivets of water ran over his body regardless. "The rainforest is most like where I was born, the familiarity is appealing."

Despite not really caring, it was still relieving to know he was not within the borders, glad to know he could continue exploring freely for a while longer. Although, knowing that, he had to wonder what the man was doing outside his own borders. He decided it wasn't truly worth asking. “Not really,” the man responded to Runar's question honestly, “but I think I kind of got the jist of it.” Matthias backs away to shake his pelt, and plucks out an annoying pebble between the toes of his right forepaw.

“You and I should hang out sometime, when it's not so wet and cold,” it's a casual invitation at a chance to form a friendship. Matthias was not so keen on wandering alone forever, and he voiced those exact words to the striped man, “I'd much rather prefer to surround myself with others,” he added. Then, finally, a question: “How about as soon as the rain stops? I'll stick around the rainforest, and you can just call for me. I got something in mind for us.”

If Runar accepts, you can just respond with him saying yes and do a timeskip to him calling for Matt, if you're okay with that.
