The Mbali Pride

The pride is situated on a slightly sloping valley with a kopje on the highest point. The kopje is mostly rocky with a small jutting-point the pride leader likes to lounge on when the sun is high, however there is a spot for shade were an acacia tree grows covering bits of the rocky outcrop. Farther down where the slope becomes more level is a decent-sized watering hole with muddy banks, home to crocodiles but too small for a pod of hippos. Between the kopje and the watering hole is a vastly green expanse of grass where herds run and frolic, though during the dry season it becomes rather barren.To the north if you continue past the watering hole, large mountains can be seen in the distance elegantly touching the sky as clouds drift down around them. To the east of the valley is a forested area, home of the leopards and wild dogs so the pride generally stays out of where they are unwelcome. Finally, to the west is a river that breaks the valley in half. It is said that the pride living in that direction once ruled the entire valley, but was stripped of power by a rogue male and his four brothers. Portions of the other pride were forced across the river and now reside on the other side, including their main male. The portion remaining submitted defeat, eventually accepting the males as part of the pride. Since then the rogue male become the pride leader and his brothers dispersed over the land.
It is believed that the other pride is still on the other side of the river, waiting for the water to lower so they can once again cross over and wage war for the other half of the valley.
