Territory/How they achieved territory:

The Lost Valley pride territory is a vast grassland valley with shrubs dotting the area here and there. However in the upper left region of the area lies a dark and mysterious lush forest. It radiates a mysterious spooky vibe, that often wards off many attackers. However hidden inside the forest is a peaceful and beautiful place, where the lions of Lost Valley make their home. Hidden away from the world, and surrounded by thick protective underbrush, they have become the hidden gems of the surrounding areas.

The found of the Lost Valley pride came across this hidden gem one afternoon shortly after he had been cast out. He was different from the other lions, not fitting in to the requirements his former pride leader was wanting. He vowed that when he found the right place, he would create a new pride where any lion no matter their difference was welcomed and could feel safe. The founder made sure that no other lion had claimed this hidden gem before marking the area and laying claim to the land.

100 words (minimum) about their territory/where their pride will be built/how they achieved this territory:

The territory of The Skyline Artisans is situated to the South East of the valley, consisting of vast highlands with sweeping buffalo grass and interspersed with boulders and rocky terrain. It can be difficult for those who are inexperienced with the land to navigate, due to a lack of distinct landmarks. But those who are familiar can scale across the topography with ease, acting as formidable foes to unwelcome visitors. The pride itself lives within a wide ditch to the west of the territory, surrounded by rocky outcrops of varying shapes and sizes. Their founder makes his home in a small den on the highest outcrop, under the shade of an old umbrella thorn tree. The members of this pride often spend their days lounging upon the outcrops, descending into the ditch at dusk to huddle together for warmth under the stars, believing this promotes emotional well-being within the pride.

The founder of the pride, Amaziah, formerly lived in a separate pride within the midlands of the valley, acting as a subordinate under his father. Although he appreciated the fact that he had a place to call home, it rarely felt homely. He didn't enjoy his life there; He was often belittled for his optimistic nature and he just generally felt unsafe, feeling an air of hostility between him and his pridemates that he couldn't quite place. Thus, he would often fantasize about running away and creating a new life for himself, taking a keen interest in a series of mountainous highlands he would notice in the distance while patrolling with his father that were seemingly uninhabited. Going against his father's best wishes, the young lion fled, travelling to the mysterious lands and settling there.

Inspiration/preferences/design prompt: I'd love a design with contrasting cold and warm colours! Preferably consisting of a darker cold colour with warm accents. Maybe with some faint king cheetah or abyssinian cat inspired markings and/or a tri-colour mane (similar to this) if it wouldn't be too much trouble? Sorry if this is a little vague, but here's a few images for inspiration if it helps at all! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Thank you very much in advance to whoever claims this! o:

Because of the light appearance of this male, he couldn't find success in green grasslands. So he migrated thousands of kilometers away to a cold, frosty land. The land is cold and snows most of the season, including summer. He developed a thick coat that protected him from the freezing temperatures. His golden white coat shines in daylight, as if the snow reflecting the sun, creating the perfect camouflage for him. He has learnt to bury his food in the snow when prey is scarce and to climb trees to get away from the frozen ground at night. He doesn't have any competitors as no lion has ever survived in such cold weather, but this also means he doesn't have great social skills. One day, he would love to meet another and build his own family to keep him company and to pass down the secrets he has learned about this special home

Inspiration/preferences/design prompt: I was thinking something along the lines of one of these bad boys, but with more dark colors? Some black/dark greys details would be nice, too. Whatever you think looks best, really. A bit simplistic, with a more color-focused design, rather than detail-focused. I would love for her eyes to be very bright and warm-colored, like a fire. Thank you so much, and to whoever claims this, please take your time. I have no doubt that she'll look breathtaking, as everyone's designs are absolutely gorgeous!

The Hopetra Pride is a small pride of lions, south of a large watering hole. The watering hole is around a square mile large, and brings in all types of animals to drink it or hunt by. The territory that the pride owns stretches down from the edge of the watering hole to the edge of a small cliff (around a 20 foot drop). In between those two landmarks there is a large rocky hill, where the lions live. Around the rocky hill is just plainlands. The pride's den location is strange, as lions do not typically live in dens. Most lions share the larger dens. The smaller dens are for higher ranking lions, such as the founder. Dens range from large, weathered caves to small lion-made branch dens.

Id love something natural, maybe like this cave lion I've seen in the museum lately. Something that works with fading colours and a few spots or stripes. Nothing too complicated, as I would really want to be able to redraw her. If I may request one thing, Id really love her to have purple eyes, any shade.
