About The Pride of Lush Forests:
The Pride of Lush Forests' territory is a very thick jungle, filled with season-round greenery and giant, ancient trees. There is a massive, rushing river that takes up a good chunk of the territory, but these lions have acquired the unusual skill of swimming, though they do not do it very often as they are still mere lions, and such unusual abilities are exhausting. The camp of this pride is deep within the thickest part of the jungle, accessible to few without aide from the jungle's natives. The tangled vines and close growing greenery make it difficult to those unaccustomed to the territory to traverse, but once through, a large, magnificent clearing beside the sheer face of a massive cliff face makes up the camp. Dens are made in caves high off of the ground in the outcrops of the slate, reachable by a fallen ancient tree that has propped itself up against the rocks. The lions of this pride are skilled in their home's environment and have gained an illusive and clever reputation, being able to move swiftly through the massive forest without making a sound. Along with this, the lions of this pride tend to keep to themselves, but when they do speak out, their silver tongues have been known to be quite deceitful.
