......................In a vast, chaotic land where the grass is brown, the dunes are like tidal waves, and the shrubs and brush cling to your fur like clawing hands rising from the sand, an oasis sits. This territory, with greenery and water, is a haven for animals, predator and prey, and in the cave at its border lives a massive Pride of lions. These lions are unusual, much like the Pridelanders you've heard about. But unlike them, violence still rests at the heart of their territory. The King, son of the previous, can still be overthrown, and must face each challenger that enters his lands, but he isn't alone.
Instead of banishing all males when their grow their manes, they are given a choice. Leave willlingly, or join the Royal Guard, a group of males who swear loyalty to their King and fight to defend their kingdom, in return for remaining in these lush lands and being granted permission to mate.
For you see, the King doesn't mate with every lioness, but takes a Queen instead. She is his mate, and she heads the Hunting Patrols and is in charge of keeping the lionesses in line. Not an easy task...

The King also has his healer, or Shaman, and his advisor, or Majordomo. These positions can be held by lions, but are most often given to other species.

Do you have what it takes to survive in these lands? Are you a hunter, a fighter, or do you aim a bit higher? Do you wish to try your paw at taking the throne? Come, join us in the Savannah. Your destiny awaits...

RULES
Because every RP has to have 'em.

1 - No killing/mating without permission.
2 - Light cussing is permitted, but show restraint. They're lions, not sailors.
3 - Some odd colors and markings are permitted for creativity's sake, but be reasonable.
4 - If you are using one of your own lions, but as a different age, please have the wardrobe link ready. Thank you.
5 - Try not to fight OOC people. Let's be civil here.
6 - If you're talking OOC, use Brackets or Parentheses. [[These]] or ((these)).
7 - No GodModding, your lion NEEDS to lose sometimes, and they NEED flaws. I will have no Mary Sues in my RP!
8 - A MINIMUM of three sentences to a post. You get three strikes, people. If you can't think of three sentences worth of stuff, fluff. Describe something a bug is doing, or some other background info.
9 - Have fun! That's what we're here for, right?
