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!

12/15/2020 Eoin
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.

11/17/2020 Eoin
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).

Smyte,
Lion of Prideless
Played by Kim
The winged devil had broken free from the treeline, intent to quench a thirst his sombre gait drove him over stone and shell toward the still, pristine lake. It was another moonless night, the heavens blanketed by a vindictive unending cloud of silver and steel.
Yet his ruby stare did not lift skyward in contemplation, even as blackened and scarred mouth lifted, dripping with the lake's cool bounty. The heathen's thoughts contained little else save the pleasure upon his lips and the harsh terrain beneath his feathered paws.
Momentarily satisfied, attention switched to those dirt caked limbs of his, long travelled and weary. Slowly, the male took a few steps into the shallow embrace of the pool. Ankle deep, the liquid felt colder than it had seemed when he had taken his drink.
Miserable and alone, long tail curled down and batted against the surface, splashing his own haunch and making him flinch at the icy kiss.
A growl rumbled deep and low from his throat.

Marcella,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Twesh
Marcella's thoughts were not with her. Her senses trained and practiced on the world around her for particular scent trails or signs of smaller creatures having moved on through recently. Amidst her searching and close scrutiny however she missed the larger beast occupying the nearby lakeside until she was within ten feet of him and her green eyes rose to meet him. "Ah- pardon." Marcella's elegant voice hummed from her throat as she realized her solitude was not truly so and that lost in thoughts she'd managed to stumble upon a stranger. Paired with her apology came a dip of her head, gracefully her muzzle lowered while her eyes swilved to keep on the mossy colored feline across the way from her. "You've not seen a young boy or girl have you?" If the mother was concerned for her babes she did not let it show on her face. So far their wanders had not led to any trouble and she felt her children were better off for the freedom they had, their independence admirable. But... it was due time for a check in and she could not find head nor hair of them nearby.

Smyte,
Lion of Prideless
Played by Kim
Though his presence had been missed, hers had not been. The red-eyed ghoul had watched the creature with some intensity as she unknowingly approached him. He had to cast his gaze slightly over his shoulder as his chest faced into the lake. But other than this subtle move, he remained as he was. She was seemingly too preoccupied by some other purpose than to see the male, whom stood incredibly still and ankle deep at the lake's edge.
The predator within had bade him to cease all movement, in that menancingly statue-like way that seemed a talent reserved purely for felines. This did not describe his intent, but rather simply, instinct.
Finally, ruby stare met with emerald and the lion was able to blink free from his poised state. Muscular shoulders rose and fell as he spun around to face her directly, water sloshing at his newly cleaned ankles.
The maned beauty spoke to him, his skull tilted, ears slid forward to listen. It had been a long time since he had come across another of his kind and it took some willpower for him to focus on her speech and not to drink in the welcome familarity of company.
"No, I have not." He said, eventually. Gravelled tone and words rusty from disuse.
"But I will help you." The heathen announces from parted ebony lips. Keen to have companionship at any cost. This is what he is, he remembers now, a keeper, a finder, a creature determined to be of use and never, ever, alone.
Winged spine flexes and the lion steps out of the water and onto the stony bank. "My name is Smyte." Tongue lashes at his lips as he looks her over. He does not mean to intimidate and has no ill intentions, he just needed lessons in manners.

Marcella,
Lioness of Prideless
Played by Twesh
Help? Marcella's calmed and stoic face flickered with its first real flash of an emotion as he caught her off guard. The yes or no, affirmation or not, had been the extent of her expectations from the stranger. It was plenty to steer her in a better direction than before and she certainly did not expect another to take up some small bit of responsibility, or care, for her children. She looked surprised, pleasantly so. Admitably her children had been the majority of her company for a while now so having an adult around for a time to converse with was appealing. "Appreciate it Smyte." Marcella tipped her head again and then quite immediately turned and was beginning to walk off in another direction than the one she had been heading in when she ran across Smyte and expected he'd be following along. The lapping at his lips and resulting subtle appearance of his teeth did not phase Marcella, the matron seemed confident even as she turned her back to him and continued walking. "And I am Marcella Faust."

Smyte,
Lion of Prideless
Played by Kim
Smyte's bulky head inclined slightly to return the female's nod, the lioness seemed not at all opposed to his companionship nor wary of his intentions. Were the lion given to displays of expression across his features, he might have shown surprise in that moment. As it was, his face held fast to a brooding frown, the default which would accompany him through almost all feelings.
The lioness did not wait for him and spun away to continue on. Ears roused again as the heathen's eyes widened slightly. Then urgency kicked in and the large male took a few quick steps to reach Marcella's side. Limbs relaxed a little as he settled in stride beside her, curious red gaze prominently upon her maned head rather than the road ahead.
"What are their names?" He asks, seeking more information about the cubs she searches for. "Are they yours?" Another question to follow the first, the tendrils of his thoughts rising to the air in his ever gruff, gravelled voice. Some might hear and think he is displeased with everything in the world - but it is only his way of speaking and not a true account of his opinion. Possibly it is more a reflection of his upbringing - goon, henchman, soldier... what use is the flow and delicacy of words to such a creature?
"Are there more of you?" A pride? He continues his inquiry, finding more words now than he has in months. All the while his fire fuelled eyes burrowed into Marcella, drinking in her movement, expression and breathing. "I have not long arrived and have not seen another of our kind."
