A3 - What does your pride value above all else?----------------------------------------
The Thembeka pride values trust and reliability over everything, it is law to never break another lion's trust within the pride. Nkosi hasn't experienced anyone breaking the trust or not being reliable when the time comes, so if it were to happen with a lion or lioness the punishments and outcomes are still undecided. Most likely the law-breaker would be exiled from the pride if it occurred more than once, because it would simply show that the lion is intent on breaking the trust of others. As for the reliability aspect, each lion is expected to help one another if they are able. Any able-bodied lion of the pride should aid those who need help, unless they are injured, occupied, or awaiting cubs are they exempt from having to help. Many under those circumstances have still helped other lions and they are always thanked greatly by Nkosi. This strong law of trust and reliability helps the Thembeka pride form a tight-nit family as many of their members stem from different backgrounds, families, and prides. "If you can be reliable and trustworthy you are forever welcome in our pride, however; if you cannot be reliable and trustworthy within our pride, we cannot accept you. We hope we can welcome you into our family." Is one of many lines Nkosi will quote when a newcomer is wanting to join the Thembeka pride.

A4 - What allegiances does your pride have? (With npcs, rogues, other user prides, other creatures?)----------------------------------------
Allegiance 1 : Predator based
One of the longest lasting allegiances the Thembeka pride has is with a small band of leopards who share the watering hole on their territory. When the pride first started out, these leopards were becoming pests by stealing the prides prey and starting small turf wars here and there. Nkosi knew this had to come to an end because it wasn't good for his pride or the band of leopards. After he met with the leopards and their leader, Ulwazi, and after a lot of talking, they settled on being allies. "We can share carcasses that are provided to us, however; if your leopards have a successful hunt I will keep my hunters away from your meal, and if my lions have a successful hunt you must keep your leopards away from our meal. We don't need to aimlessly fight for food on a territory that has plenty of it, we just need a boundary in place to prevent outbreaks of war." this was the words both Nkosi and Ulwazi agreed upon. "You have my word this treaty will be followed, I will suggest another. If an enemy or band of outsiders were to threaten either one of our families, we aid one another in the battle for the territory we share. As we have had run ins like this in the past, a reliable ally would be good." Ulwazi suggested to Nkosi, and he agreed to the terms the leopard leader spoke. This allegiance between Ulwazi's leopards and the Thembeka pride is strong, a leopard or lion who breaks the treaty will not be tolerated by either of the leaders. Punishment is unknown as a break in the treaty has not happened within the territories...for now

A5 - Where did your pride’s name come from? 50 words
----------------------------------------
Thembeka comes from the language of Zulu, translating into "be honest". Nkosi was raised to be a very honest and trustworthy lion, he wanted to establish this within his pride. He added in reliability to help everyone grow closer into a family. He knew it would be hard since every lion was not related by blood to one another, but he hoped by creating his pride so everyone knew they could rely on one another would help form strong bonds that could never be broken easily. That is how the Thembeka pride got it's name, Nkosi lives his days making sure the meaning of their name is honored to its full potential.
