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!

We have had so many wonderful suggestions, and while we are processing some things and working on the skills, we wanted to let you all know that the OTMs and superlatives are coming! Keep an eye out soon for those. Also it appears that Eoin has been wandering around Aesseldar and may be up to no good... best get checking on his apperances for some good old fashion fun, and maybe even a sweet surprise!

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 dark-pelted male had become a stark contrast to the natural vibrancy of his usual haunt in the Steppe. The ground was blanketed by beautiful flowers and thickened by lush green grasses. Unfortunately, there was not a minute went by that Muninn did not have some flower peddle of some color or another stuck somewhere on his body, but don't let that deceive you.

Anger grew in the young male's heart as he endured his existence alone. He was in waiting after his meetings with Erenvel and the Goddess Volcan! His here and now was simply an excruciating period of LIMBO! He did not know when he would be free to do as he pleased. What was he waiting for? What did he require? Permission? Would that not defeat the point?!

He did not know. All he knew was that it didn't feel like the right time... like he needed to wait for a sign of some fashion. He was unsure what it meant, but perhaps the Gods had a plan in line for him. Something he should not try to overstep.

He lamented, however, swiping a heavy paw across a patch of flowers in his distress and frustration. They broke apart and scattered to the wind in pieces as he bared his fangs angrily at the breeze that sprinkled them into his monochromatic mane. When would he be free... When?

What was he waiting for?!

"I must prove myself to no one."

He muttered the words to himself over and over, as though he was trying to convince himself of their meaning. He had felt the power of those words in the very first moment he had spoken them, but now their impact waned. Perhaps his confidence and self esteem had taken a harder hit than he had realized during his exile...

At the thought, Muninn groaned as he shut his eyes and shook his head to clear his roaring mind.

DIS BE OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE!
Beware of Muninn. He is going though some changes. He can and will become quite erratic!
RP WITH HIM AT YOUR OWN RISK.
He is very likely to attempt bodily harm to your character, even when UNPROVOKED!!

Sometimes you get what you ask for. And sometimes you get what the world wants. And it's not always fair but it's what you're handed. You take it and say thank you good or bad because at least life is letting you know you're alive. Vermillion had life in him, had life around him, and reason to be thankful to spirits above more had not been taken from him. What ground he walked upon did not matter; who walked beside him did. He was... dare he think it... happy.

Which was usually when life liked to smack you upside the head with something. He was braced for it, waiting for it to come day after day. And it was getting tiring, it was imparting on his ability to love and cherish this paranoia. Relax A smooth voice would tell him. No another would crow back in a scratchy voice. He swallowed loudly, a gulp, followed by a sigh intermixed with the sounds of his heavy paws falling on the ground. A petal drifted over his nose and with it the breeze carried another's scent. Swampy creature stepped forwards, his lungs inhaling the air around him deeply. Someone was near. It only took a minute or so of walking to find Muninn. His green gaze swept analytically and lingered on the broken flowers where Muninn had swept his paw through. "I'm not sure those flowers deserved that-" Vermillion mused amongst feeling pain at seeing the small beautiful things in their state of destruction.

Silver eyes opened at the sound of a voice that drifted against the wind to ears hidden within the thick tendrils of mane. The groan melded into a growl in his throat, deepening as he turned to face the stranger who had approached him. The audacity! Who did this older male think he was? As if it was his place to judge any action Muninn took in this life!

For now... Muninn swallowed his anger. He had not yet made a name for himself. He was not yet entitled to challenge fools who overstepped their bounds. He would play his cards carefully while he continued to grow in this new land. He had no other choice.

"Quite the philosophical type, aren't we? As though mere flowers deserve anything, good or bad, eh?"

He inquired as his gaze shifted to the large scar running down the length of the other's left arm.

He made note of many things. Particularly that this male seemed quite scarred and mutilated from past traumas to be such the fair-minded, kind man he appeared to be now.

"Unfortunately, the world is simply designed to employ the strong with the power of judge and jury.

Tell me. Did you deserve those scars, or did you simply cross paths with one of such power over you... like these delicate flowers that found themselves in my path?"


The deep voice of the younger man carried powerfully through the distance between them. Muninn's silver gaze was intense upon the other... watching... drinking him in.
