3. The only lions that can cross the river are the submales and huntresses (accompanied).
4. Mira’s spirit is always watching. Don’t disobey the king/queen.
5. Don’t speak badly about Mira’s ways. She knows everything.
6. S̶̝͒H̸̬͒E̵̖̯͊ ̷͇̠̋K̵̼̆N̸̫̳̐͊Ó̷̟̳W̴̫̿S̴͓͠ ̷̠̅̕E̸͉͐V̸̯̂E̵̞̲̔Ṙ̵̰͗Y̶͖͋T̴̛̼̾H̴̽͜I̶̪͠Ñ̵͔̪G̶̝͕̈́̈́.̸̜̺͋
7. Do not get close to the river if you’re not a huntress with her hunting party or a submale.
8. Try to stay inside the caves at all times.
9. Fall asleep as soon as the sun goes down.
10. If you hear whispers at night, don’t open your eyes. She already knows you’re there.
11. If you see a group of black cats outside the caves, run back inmediatey. They aren’t real.
12. If you’re dumb enough to approach the river alone, and a lioness without a pendant approaches, don’t engage on conversation. Run back immediately.
13. Newcomers always come in accompanied by the king/queen, if an unknown lioness comes in as new, alone, pretend it’s not there. It’s not real.

Lore

In the mystical realm known as Zephyria, an extraordinary lion pride resides deep within the heart of a sprawling cave system. These majestic creatures find solace and protection within the labyrinthine chambers, shielded by the surrounding might of a massive and winding river.

Long ago, the first lioness to discover these caves was a wise and revered leader named Mira. She possessed a unique connection with the spirit world and was guided by the ancient Raven, a symbol of wisdom and intuition. Mira, known as the Guardian of the Veil, understood the delicate balance that existed between the lion pride and the enigmatic forces of the land.

Raven's Veil pride adorned themselves with shimmering pendants, each pendant unique to an individual lion and serving as a symbol of their belonging and unity. These enchanted emblems granted the pride members protection and allowed them to recognize each other amidst the darkness of the caves.

However, beyond the veil of their sanctuary, a sinister presence loomed. A shadowy entity, known as the Nightshade Huntress, emerged from the depths of darkness. This mysterious foe possessed the ability to assume the form of a lioness, blending seamlessly with her surroundings. Her piercing white eyes, shining like beacons, unnerved any who encountered her.

The Nightshade Huntress was drawn to the boundaries of the massive river that surrounded the caves, a border that the pride considered sacred. She sought to challenge their tranquility, relentlessly testing their courage and unity. Those who dared to venture too close to the river alone or attempted to cross it risked invoking her wrath.

The Raven's Veil members learned to remain vigilant, respecting the warnings of their ancestors and the teachings of Mira. They understood that unity was their greatest strength against the Nightshade Huntress. Only by standing together, guided by the wisdom of the ravens that inhabited the caves, could they hope to overcome their fearsome enemy.

The lore of Raven's Veil was interwoven with stories of heroism and triumph. The pride's ancestors had thwarted the Nightshade Huntress' advances time and again, demonstrating their resilience and unwavering spirit. Through their tales, the pride instilled in each generation a profound understanding of the importance of the pendant's gleaming light and the strength of their unity.

As the leader of Raven's Veil, the noble lion named Danko embodied the bravery and wisdom of his predecessors. He stood as a shining example of courage, guiding his pride with a steady paw and a compassionate heart. Danko's roar echoed through the caves, bolstering the spirits of his fellow pride members and reminding them that they were protectors of their realm.

Thus, within Raven's Veil, the lion pride persevered, embracing the harmony between the sheltering caves and the powerful river. United by their pendants, they remained ever watchful, warding off the Nightshade Huntress with their unwavering unity and fierce determination. The land around them flourished under their stewardship, a testament to their resilience and the profound connection they shared with their mystical home.
