Territory Description

Natural Resources

Konungadal is rich in terms of available resources. It has many different species of dinosaur that make wonderful sources of protein for the pride as well as hide to make things out of. A large variety of herbs can be found in the mountain ranges, which the lions use for medicine and vitamins. The forests are made up of many different trees, both coniferous and deciduous, as long as you know where to go. Fresh water isn't difficult to come by, easy to obtain in Lake Iroshaw or Ellodge lake, as well as in the form of rainfall and runoff from the mountains. The ground of the valley, however, makes it difficult to farm, which means most of the pride's food must be hunted or foraged. This makes it difficult to have a regular, balanced diet and causes the pride to be vulnerable when it comes to diseases. The Laeknir have to keep loads of vitamin-rich herbs to keep the pride healthy.

Terrain

Konungadal seems to have a little bit of everything. The Nokotawa Mountain Range is a vast arc of impassable, freezing mountains that create a natural border to the north. To the south, the Bone-Laden Badlands are just as dangerous, with their high temperatures and formidable predators. To the west lies the peninsula of Stemlote, and west still the island of Oxmeny can be found. Little is known about these areas at the moment. The Shawbee Groveland sits on a peninsula to the southwest, just past the Dragonfly Marsh. The Wound is a series of rivers that cut through the central south of the map and is home to Kaprosuchus and other water-dwelling predators. The rolling hills of the Thesliche Expanse are scattered with trees in the southeast. There are three large forests around the Valley of the Manticore: Newmere Timberlands, Vauxrose Woods, and Kelree Woods. The Bottomless Hollows and The Sparkling Caverns are two notable cave systems in the east and west, respectfully.

Climate

Due to the mountains that sit to the northwest and southeast of the valley, its climate doesn't change much year-round. In the winter, the air is dry and chilly, with no more than a few inches of snow over the course of the first two months of the year. In spring, small flowers bloom up through the grass in blues and violets with the occasional tiger lily along the edge of the valley. Summers are warmer, though not overly hot due to the cool breeze that sweeps between the mountains frequently, and the air becomes a bit more humid. Fall is the prime season in the valley as leaves from the trees on the mountains and forest create a crunchy carpet, making hunting easier on the lions who know where to place their paws. Rainless thunderstorms roll over the very tops of the mountains during this time, which the pride calls the Roaring, where the manticore displays his happiness with the progress of its guardians.

Base

The pride's main "base" is set in the Maze of Shadows - large, cylindrical, rocky outcroppings that stand in the northeast of the valley. They tower over the ground so close together that it creates an odd labyrinth of sorts, in which the lions sleep, eat, make medicine, raise their young, and hide their prey and various treasures. Dead ends in the maze create "rooms" of various sizes, including one near the entrance where the Jarl and his family sleep, to best keep an ear out for impending danger. Skati sit atop the pillars, solidifying into stone through their shifts to watch out for intruders, prey, wanderers, and the like. The land beneath the towers is made of solid rock, which keeps the lions cool in the summers. During the winter, they have to bring in soft materials or skin prey to lay on to keep warm. The height of the ground is tilted slightly and is raised above the clearing, which keeps rainwater from pooling amongst the maze and floodwater from reaching their sleeping place altogether.

The Local Wildlife

Kaprosuchus

Despite being just slightly smaller than the lions that it preys upon, kaprosuchus are a force to be reckoned with. They blend perfectly into the dark waters of the Wound, where they spend their days sunbathing in the water or lazily napping on the banks, but as soon as their attention is peaked, they are quicker than you would believe. They have three large tusk-like teeth that protrude eagerly from either side of their mouth and are covered in thick scales that are near-impossible to puncture. Their tails are rather stiff, but powerful if wielded correctly, and are known to knock the feet out from under a lion with ease. As dangerous as they are, they're rather easy to avoid if you stay away from the Wound.

Urbacodon

The urbacodon are a small flightless bird-like animal. They are covered in dull feathers with spots of vibrant colors, which they use to trick their prey into thinking they are a bush of flowers. They eat mostly large insects and small birds who normally feed on flower nectar. They are not a danger to lions, but they can be a nuisance when their curiosity brings them too close to the pride's base. They have more than once torn up a Larknir's stash of herbs and medicine, much to the detriment of any ailing lions in the area. They are easily kept away with the scent of mint, thus Laeknir often grow their own small mint plants and crush up the leaves to protect their stash.

Allosaurus

Allosaurus are far and beyond the lion's most feared predator. They are rare, but when they cross paths with a lion, it almost never ends in the lion's favor. They hunt in packs of at least three and tower almost three times the size of a full-grown lion. Their bite strength is immeasurable. The only way to combat an allosaurus is to go up into the mountains, where their large body makes climbing incredibly difficult, and they often scramble for leverage while they slip down the rock face. Allosaurus are usually very dull-colored, able to blend in with their surroundings no matter where they are, and sometimes have patches of thin, lighter stripes.

Ammosaurus

Ammosaurus are long-necked animals that normally walk on four legs but can rear up onto their hind legs to reach vegetation if they need to. They have bony, clawed fingers on their front limbs which they use to defend themselves when necessary. Their body is around the same size as a full-grown lion, but their neck and tail are much longer, and they are shorter at the shoulder. They are found in many different color variations, much like horses, but also often have spots to help blend in with their surroundings and hide them from predators a little easier.

Bagaceratops

A very small, thick, hard-headed animal, the Bragaceratops is one of the lions' best sources of prey. They are abundant in the Kelree woods, where they feed on the lush vegetation, and they reproduce like crazy in all seasons but winter. They live in large groups, and when in danger they let out a loud, quivering honk to warn other Bagaceratops. Their main method of defense is, interestingly, to shove their head into the mouth of their attacker in hopes to break their teeth, because their skull is nearly unbreakable. They are the cleanest source of meat, however, since they do not carry diseases, and the lions feed upon them happily.

Dacentrurus

By far the most dangerous herbivore, taking down a Dacentrurus is a fantastic feat for any lion to achieve. They are large animals, covered in hard, sharp bony protrusions in two long rows down their back. The vibrant colors of their spines and plates warn predators of their capacity to injure, hoping that the predator will determine that it's not worth the effort to hunt them. They travel and graze in clearings and meadows, but can travel through forests if they need to. Their spines, if obtained, are used as accessories to show off the lion's capabilities, as a huge status symbol. They are never found in the mountains, and very rarely ever come close to the Wound, where they fall prey to kaprosuchus time and time again.
