Facts of the Territories


^{Each in character place of Lions of Africa is different in one manner or another. True, one can understand that by just reading their description but there is also more to the land then that. Each territory has a different general climate, capacity, and hunting conditions. The following gives you the statistics of each land. The Sustain and Maintain Number below is given for the lions.
Example [using Akuco]:
Can Sustain 7 lions
Can Maintain 4 lions}

Lands of the North

--- Akuco: This land is a savannah. Hunting is superb, which brings many predators around and which often leads to the fact it changes hands pretty often. Temperature is usually warm and there is a drastic change between wet and dry season. The land can sustain up to seven lions, and one needs at least four to maintain it.
Pronounced: [Ah-kue-ko]

--- Okari

[/b]: This is a landmark, said to be the largest and oldest tree of the lands. It has moderate numbers of prey. Temperature around the tree is pretty much the same as all the Lands of the North, warm with decent amounts of rainfall. The area can hold up to five lions, but only needs two to maintain it.
Pronounced: [O-kar-ee]

--- Iarox[/b]: This is the Upper River, which is much swifter. Crossing the waters are nearly impossible but it rarely dries up. A clear distinction between Wet and Dry season. Slightly low amounts of prey. The are of Iarox can sustain six lions, and needs three to maintain it.
Pronounced: [I-Ar-Ox]

--- Eisakuco[/b]: The thorn grove. Prey around here are small and rare, but it holds great protection for the small. There is mild amounts of rainfall. Eisakuco needs three lions to maintain it, and can hold up to four.
Pronounced: [E-sah-ku-ko]

--- Paiwu[/b]: The massive plateau. It gains slightly more rain then the other territories. It holds some prey, whatever can manage up the steep incline. It takes four to maintain and can hold up to seven.

Lands of the East

--- Eihan

[/b]: The vast desert. Prey is rare and far from large, water the same. It is a place of extremes with harsh heat during the day and unrelenting cold at night. It needs two to maintain and can support up to four.
Pronounced: [E-ha-un]

--- Suali[/b]: A heavenly oasis. This place is the only 'noteworthy' place of fresh, clean water. It is hard to control the desert without this key location and fights over it occur often. Prey is best found here, but it is still rare. It can sustain up to six and one would need all five to maintain it.
Pronounced: [Sue-ah-lee]

--- Korongo[/b]: The lands are a dusty, dry and vast canyon. Very few enter them and prey is not common. But the prey that does are often on their last leg. It needs four to maintain it and can sustain up to six.
Pronounced: [Core-on-go]

--- Eiroka[/b]: The scrublands feel the dry and wet seasons vividly. It prospers during the wet and shrivels during the dry. Much is dependent on the season, but it usually has decent amounts of prey. Three lions are needed to maintain it, but it can sustain seven.
Pronounced: [E-row-ka]

--- Orai[/b]: They aren't called the badlands for nothing. The land is nasty and tainted. Prey isn't abundant but there is enough to get by. Two lions are needed to keep them, but up to six can live there at once.

Lands of the South

--- Beseni

[/b]: The ever pleasant basin. Food is abundant, for this place is lush and bountyful. However, it is not easy to find one's way amoung the large area. One needs three lions to maintain it, but it can support up to eight.
Pronounced: [Beh-say-nee]

--- Kinamasi[/b]: The marsh is a difficult place to live. The prey around here are large and strong, but quite common. Area is moist and warm. It needs three lions to maintain it, and can sustain six.
Pronounced: [Keen-ah-mah-see]

--- Furiko[/b]: The floodplain is quite dangerous. Flash floods are common and murderous during the wet season. When the dry season hits this is one of the last places it affects. And because of that prey is realtively common. One needs four lions to keep the land and it can support up to seven.
Pronounced: [Foo-reek-o]

--- Majito[/b]: The lower river. The waters are much calmer but the banks are much steeper. Lions are not on top here, but prey is good. This is pretty much the only place where one can cross the large, long river. Crocodiles lurk in the waters along with hippos, awaiting an easy meal. One needs five lions to take over this dangerous land, but it can support up to eight.
Pronounced: [Mah-jeet-o]

--- Misitu[/b]: Welcome to the jungle. The place is dense and hard to navigate, but it does not feel the strain of the dry season. The place is rarely quiet, and is full of color and life. Prides can only reach a max of five, and the jungle needs four to maintain it.
Pronounced: [Mee-seet-oo] [/blockquote]

Lands of the West

--- Kipia

[/b]: The summit... the highest place of all the mountain range. The land is cold and windy and chilly. Large prey is scared but there are some around now and again if they can manage the frigid weather. But with the combination of small and medium, hunting is mild… not great and not exactly decent but… It takes four lions to lay claim to all the range. It can support up to five.
Pronounced: [Ki-pee-ah]

--- Shimo[/b]: The caves are as bout as vast and large as the canyons. The world being dark and damp, prey rarely wanders in but this place is great shelter and a great place of water, though admittedly none dare drink it. One needs two lions to claim it and it can sustain only four.
Pronounced: [Shee-mo]

--- Johari[/b]: The waterfall where the spirits, pixies, angels and divines play. The water is pure and ever fresh, fed by the cold mountain snow and the rain. Prey isn't exactly common enough to be decent but... it's not bad by any means. One needs three lions to lay claim, and it can hold up to five.
Pronounced: [Jo-har-ee]

--- Kipukusa[/b]: The ancient village ruins of the humans. Prey is usually on the small side due to it being avoided by many creatures. Because the land is smaller than most others, only three lions are needed to maintain it and it can only support five.
Pronounced: [Kee-poo-koo-sah]

--- Poriuma[/b]: The forest line is odd and isn't visited much. Many who come are weary and feel uncomfortable. This is where the forest abrutly stops, almost at a perfect line. So crisp, so neat. So unnatural. Prey from the borders of the forest and those near the base of the mountain proves to be pretty good. One needs four lions to have this land, land that can support up to six.
