 (Please note: Those marked in parentheses are owners (IC or OOC) of that particular group. If you're interested in creating a new pride/pack/plan, please go to the Creating a Pride thread. Any pride marked with a * has unique lineart.)

The Ushirkino Watembezaji Pride (Ary Keeyara) - Hidden within deep jungle and tucked safely behind a wall of solid rock the Unity Walkers have made a full recovery from the plague and the Great Divide that once decimated and laid waste to their families. With a stronger resolve and a few major changes they are again accepting membership with open arms. Earth, Sky, all are welcomed now under the unity of family. Currently, Upepo and his future mate, Vinaya (of the Pridelands) are being trained to rule in his parents place.
*The Jini-msemi Pride (Meepfur) - Fate finally seems to be favoring the Spirit-talkers, thanks to the belated return of some of the pride's youth from their naming quests, as well as an influx of rogues and a new generation of cubs. The 'swampies,' who revere the spirits and worship the Goddess of Swamps, are deeply spiritual and superstitious. They are currently ruled by the seer Asali'jua, who reestablished the pride after its near-destruction in a flood.
The Umande'mfuni Pride (TormentedAngie) - Few dare to brave the rib baring conditions that continue to plague the once majestic Umade'mfuni lands. Only a few members, old blood, straggle back, praying to see a turn around in their home but are greeted by dry, crackling underbrush. Those that have managed to survive in these conditions are numbered, hard and bitter from their experiences. Rather than allow others to face the same starvation their devotion leads them to, and to stave off the problem of poaching what little game remains, they have taken to turning away visitors with a warning--only those old members are welcome to try and await the return of the Storm King.
The Mava'Bunda Pack (Dagi, Safaia) - Situated in the Mava'Bunda lands, the history of this pack goes far back, back to when the lion Scar ruled these desolate lands. But with his untimely passing, rule of the land was passed onto Mafa, a young and determined hyena. From then on, things have changed. The place is no longer a friendly place for lions, in fact, tempers rage with the coming of the Maziko Pride, which is settled just on the outskirts of the graveyard. Mafa will tolerate now lion paws on her lands. The member count has been climbing steadily, as new hyenas are recruited frequently. The pack has been rather quiet as of late, but that is due to change with the birth of Mafa’s newest litter, and with that, the heir to the pack.
The Kusini'Mwezi Pride (Lethrossen, Felyn) - Just think! A land surrounded by hills to the north, a dark forest from the south, and two lakes from the east and west. Certainly locks out those of the frightened bunch. But it wasn't what the Kusini'Mwezi lands intended. The many paths interlocking in dead ends, created by the evil landlord many a year ago, allowed those not worth of the lands to be directed away. However, following the paths of the liveliest of trees would send you gallivanting into the newly thrived lands. The forest, known as Kilango'ta, is said to host the spirits who were not worthy to pass onto the stars life. They haunt the woods, hoping to lead you away. Gote'Cha, or known as The Hills to the Kusiners, are high up. Only those courageous enough to venture up the steep grassy slopes may see what awaits them on the other side. Madeta'eo and Dya'Comi, the river boundaries, are deep enough for even the best swimmer not to pass. Madeta'eo even hosts rocks in its watery depths. Stone step rocks are the only way to cross the rushing waters. Lying beyond there, the forbidden lands said to have the legendary Goddess of Harvesting. No one has crossed, touched the lands, and returned alive. Dya'Comi's river is calmer water. Fish of many species live there, allowing the source of food for many predators.
*The Ela'wadiyi Pride (Safaia) - The gods have smiled on the small Ela'wadiyi pride, and their numbers have doubled since the migration and the plague that took a strong hit to their numbers. Though most of the pride is currently living as one clan, a few of the clans are beginning to grow as some of the children lost in the migration find their way home. Tawa'di has stepped up as a temporary leader to help keep things together, and though it is known that he is old, it is unknown how much longer he will live.
*The Tuait'tekem Pride (Lady Mercy) - After one failed attempt, Muroki is once again trying to renew his birth pride, this time with Johari at his side and with friends joining them. Muroki has sent the maned wolf Kainda out to rally those she can, rogues and ex-members alike. Meanwhile he and the lionesses who've been with him since the new revival are traveling through many lands on the road back to the ancestral Clan lands. The Dawnwalker heir plans to set up home near the oasis until the Temple itself can be reclaimed from the vultures who have claimed it's halls as their own.
*The Bahari'mtoto Pride (Amy D, Remove) - With Mlinda as the fountain of knowledge, and Tambuzi as level-headed leader, the Bahari'mtoto is slowly but surely growing, proud to welcome all who may wish to embrace their ways and show respect for the life-giving oceans and seas. As the pride furthest away from the heart of Africa, they are secluded in their pridal territory, but by no means disadvantaged because of this.
The Nchi'mahadhi Pride (Chibi Sheepcat) - The dark times have left the Nchi'mahadhi pride as but a memory. Any members who survived the Ukuhlwa'inkathi are nowhere to be found, leaving it up to Nsundu, Kazi, and Isithunzi to recreate the pride from scratch. After returning to her mother's homeland with what members she could find, Nsundu spends most of her time learning her history and recreating the drum circle. It is a pride in the early stages of development, and has only just begun to stand alone on shaky feet.
*The Eusi'uzulu Pride (Unknown) - Remnants of the Ela'wadiyi, as well as their conquerers, live here. Currently, three of the five kings remain as rulers to the pride, although they are all getting quite old, and the succession is not yet entirely agreed upon ....
The Kizingo'zaa Pride (Dark Fire Angel, Felyn) - New blood is flowing into the life of this small pride, rejuvenating its strength, culture and spirit as one. The dark times seem to be over for the pride, at least for the moment, and all eyes look towards a future. The two sole survivors of the original pride have their work cut out for them in teaching the new generation, and the newcomers, their old ways.
The Mtaishi'miele Pride (Chibi Sheepcat) - The chaotic events of the original Mtaishi'Miele pride have left behind few members. Yet, with those members and their new families flocking back to the lands with word of it's restoration, and the new rogues gaining membership as well, the pride is once again flourishing with life. Led now by two former Pridelander siblings, Sen and Jin'Yue, the pride has managed to keep most of it's original traditions and ideals. Females remain ranked higher than males, and the belief of reincarnation is still the foundation of the group. Members ranks are identified by a certain colored flower they wear.
The Awatupa'Viwanja Pride (Felyn, Dark Fire Angel) - Fed up with the lax spirit and attitude of the Pridelanders, the remaining remnants of Taka's family have gathered together and headed southward, lead by the Matriarchal daughter of Tiah. In the termite mounts to the south-west of the Pridelands, the Awatupa'Viwanja Pride have made their home. There, they enforce a strict set of rules and morals, and bathe the ground in the blood of any who break their laws.
The Kunanda'Nakhun Pride (Felyn) - After years of nomadic wandering, the Kunanda’Nakhun pride settled in a jungle home and began a new way of life. A couple of generations later, two young queens have taken the thrones following the deaths of their elder mothers. Although it is a time of transition for all of them, the succession has gone smoothly and the queens rule their land and people to the best of their ability. There may be a few snags along the way for them, especially considering their age and inexperience, but the future ahead seems to be bright and prosperous. They still manage to stay true to their beliefs and their traditions, training their females as strong warriors and leaving the males to an idle life expected of females in any other pride. Their belief in judgment and reincarnation holds them fast to their religion and continues to rule their younger generations without fail.
The Mwezi'Johari Pride (Ecavi) - After conflict with another pride over territory, their numbers have dwindled and despite their victory they have been forced to relocate due to the loss of a traditional and irreplaceable resource. Working together, spreading out and with the help of a new member, the pride finally found a new place to stay where they had everything they need, from important flora to a clear view of the sky. The moon is the single most important part of their religion, believing it to be the eye of a diety known only as the "Great Lion" and it is his watchful (or blind) eye that is the base for pride life. They are a very tradition bound and class oriented group of lions who welcome new members who are open to their ways.
*The Aali'makabila Pride (Nevayeh, TrinityCowboy) - After nearly being destroyed by a plague, the Aali'makabila is struggling to get back on its feet. The leader, Zaliwa'ya Mwamba, recently left the mountains in search of new members. After a few weeks of recruiting, he and a group of lions have returned, hoping to restore the tribe to its former greatness.
The Pridelands Pride (Safaia, Meepfur) - Having recently lost the much loved king and queen of the lands, the Pridelands is going through a time of subtle revisions and settling. The new queen Kamilika took much after her father Mufasa, using many of his ideas and basic ideals while also trying to add a little but of her own touch to the pride. Recently, however, she and her daughter, Sarakiva, were kidnapped by humans. Her son Simi has become King, and a council of advisors has been formed, consisting of his siblings Akida and Safuma and two non-royals, the lionesses Mosi and Shomoro. Despite being the largest of the prides the Pridelands still rings with the diversity, closeness, and life that makes a comfortable and safe home for all members. With favorable enviroment, pleasant and welcoming members, and a body count of well over 100 members the Pridelands makes a perfect home for families and individuals looking for peace and tranquility underneath the african sun.
Tete'boma Pride (tuesdayscat, Dr Umeda) - The Tete'boma is a Camelot of lions, tucked away in the marshlands with the main part of the kingdom tucked away behind a barrier of stones and thorn-filled trenches. It is old and, until recently, isolated from the outside world. With the death of his father, Kibwana is setting forth to make his pride more open to outsiders and even sending out ambassadors to bring in 'New Blood'. There are a few, however, that oppose the new king's changes to their traditions. Within days of his predecessor's passing, Kibwana's pride is rocked by an unknown plague that sweeps through the ranks. Knights are nearly wiped out, save for those that are sent in search of help beyond the pride's outerlands, before the sickness creeps through the Yahe (Peasants), and then the upper classes. In a matter of weeks, the pride's numbers began to dwindle until, as suddenly as it had appeared, the plague vanished. Some are saying it is Kibwana's father, wrathful after death, but for better or for worse, Kibwana will not let his inheritance die in his father's shadow. As the 'New Bloods' climb the ranks, some of the older members are starting to grumble. How will the pride fare under the new reign? Will everyone stay to see it prosper? Or will some help to be sure Kibwana falls?
The Aikanaro'hini Pride (Manda, +Sephiros Immortal+, SkieBorne) - This is a pride of lions who all believe that they are actually demons trapped in lion form. They believe that they each possess a demonic soul and can gain power from violence and blood. Strength and obedience to the pride rulers and gods also play a large part in how the pride is run. This is a harsh world, and there are many rituals centered around the above beliefs. Currently, the pride is on the hunt for more lions who have realized they have demons within them.
The Tianxia Pride (wooga paes) - Located in the rugged but beautiful Ethiopian Highlands, Tianxia is the domain of Emperor Wei Gang, commonly known as Ahali'bagawa, and Empress Tzu Hsi, more commonly known as Afu. The pride contains four houses: North, South, East, and West, each with it's own ruling Lord and Lady, who oversee a portion of the pridal lands: Moto'vianzio and Mwana rule the North, Yua'Lopoka and Tui'lian in the East, Zagaa'ymanio in the South, and Mio and Zahi'jyotsna in the West. Currently, the pride is settling into their new territory, seeking alliances and forming the political laws that will guide their culture in the years to come.
   
*The Motoujamii-Simo Pride (Kimaria, Mimsey, Dark Fire Angel) - Deep in the heart of the desert dwell the Motoujamii-Simo; Firekin and rogues who rebelled against traditions for change. Slavery abolished, royalty forgotten and Finar-Si’s name banished, these lions rely on their strength and intelligence rather than the blind faith of their counterparts. However, whilst many traditions have died, some have remained. The Motoujamii-Simo remain an elitist race and rogues attempting to join will face hard tasks to prove themselves worthy. Not only will they have to be the traditional colours of; red, black and white, they will have to be strong of body and mind. The Motoujamii-Simo, led by regents, Kidondo and No, are an army of fiery giants in constant civil war with their divided brethren the Motoujamii-Safi.
The Achana Coalition (Tahja Estes, Lady Mercy) - Achana; It means "Be different". They are an infant tribe, originally founded, no less, by a child. In a world where the population of hybrids is steadily on the rise, and tolerance in some places seems little, Toh Ni decided that there should be a place for others like herself where they wouldn't need to fear ridicule, violence, or being outcasts. Though the coalition was founded for hybrids they fully welcome full breeds as well, so long as they have an open mind. They reside in lands that, not unlike themselves, unites two worlds, jungle and grassland. Toh Ni, as future ruler, has already begun implementing a detailed system that will maximize all members talents to further the community. Nestled safely alongside the Unity Walkers, they welcome orphans, wanderers, outcasts, and even take in cubs whose parents do not wish to care for. They are family.
The Duma'Chama Coalition (Kieko, FerretPrinceMule) - Led by a vision of the future, Aailyah began to gather cheetahs for the formation of a great coalition known as Duma'Chama. While a plan in the making for quite some time, Duma'Chama is only begining to create a solid foundation for the coalition. The territory has been chosen and members are slowly coming in, contributing to the ideals and beliefs of the cheetah group.
The Mzawa'kondo Pride (Skye Starrfyre, TheMadHatter) - The attack devestated the numbers of the Mzawa'kondo and injured the spirits of those who survive. The lands that they thought safe and protected from harm are no longer as welcoming as they once were. Mfalme Hodari'rasi is in mourning over his wife and has been given unquestionable space to do so. Imara'shujaa has been contemplating their losses, taking stock of what has been and making plans for what will be. He believes that fortune will smile upon them again. They are strong thought and they have learned. They have felt the claws of fate bearing down on their throats before and they were able to endure so they will do so again. The Mfalme now watch the borders for signs of that those who are scattered are returning to their homes. They are coming back slowly and those still in the lands hope that the savanna hasn't claimed more of their brothers and sisters in the months since the attack.
The Antianeira Pride (Bluefire Dragonz) - The Antianeira pride is one that is not only female-dominant, but entirely female. The only males allowed within the pride's lands are the cubs of current members, who are given to the Mwako'bi'Giza, or Demon Hunter, pride to raise as soon as they are old enough to part from their mothers. Though small, the Antianeira are a very fierce pride, and they protect any female that seeks it. When members come of age, they travel out into to world to find a male to father a littler of cubs, then return to the pride to give birth and raise them. Hunting prowess is revered, and the better a huntress, the higher her rank.
The Bhanu'Ecchumati Pride ([Lady Kiya, sailormoon72491) - This pride is a newly-found one. It was made because of one leopard who was in so need of power, he decided to start a small pack, which soon led into a pride of bullies. Having met a few others who had the same ideas as he, he thought it was best to have a few of them stick together, making a very organized huge group of bullies. Of course not all of them are bullies, as long as they accept the leopard as their leader; then anyone is accepted, almost. Their lands are somewhat coastal; most of it is inland.
The Simbafutaji Pride (EvilSilverDragon, T`Poi) - The pride started because wanderers needed a home. And that's how they'll always be. They'll provide a safe environment for other wanderers ... a haven that will always be there no matter how much a lion may move. Information is valuable ... each wanderer that returns brings more and more information to the pride, and the Kifuko's den becomes something like ... a library. You want information? This is the place.
The Mwako'bi'Giza Pride (Truth.Be.Told, T`Poi, Kitsune Mistress Nyoko) - A new pride, founded to combat the Aikanaro'hini and other demons who wander the savanna. It is just beginning, but already it has gathered quite a few under its banner...There are many who have been hurt by the demons, and many who would fight them. Founded by a demon herself, they seek to bring light to those demons who are not 'evil'...and destroy those who are. The pride is currently lead by Moto'nyota and her mate Serithi, and they have a strong alliance with the Antianeira. Settling in will be hard...but they knew what they were getting into.
The Peke Na Pack (Tahja Estes, Lithia_Brandon) - The Peke Na follow "The Way" since their ancestors first formed the pack. The pack's beliefs are simple. Live only in The Now and don't let the past or the future blind you from preserving the Way. This is especially crucial for the Chief or Chieftess to uphold, they should always remember to live for the pack, their pack mates, and put their needs above all else. Nature's design is law for them, and their name reflects as such: "Only Now".
The Matembezi'Wasakaji Pride (NovaCracker, Andranis) - The Matembezi'Wasakaji is slowly gathering their forces, learning the land and of their surroundings. New life blossoms as the pride is blessed with young, and the young pride grows strong. Presently, their presence is slowly becoming known, and the pride works hard to find allies and battle the evil in the land; as well as take in the weak, the young, and any others whom may need the protection of the pride military.
The Mtango'bui Pride (TheMadhatter, Endejester, Skye Starrfyre) - After the collapse of the caves that they called home Arifu'Hadithi was put in charge of the ruling of the pride and bringing them through the tragedy that befell them. With his new position he has started doing what he can to assure the survival of his pride and those that he calls family. He decided that the best action would be to get away from the poisoned caves and took those that remained on a trek up north toward the mountains. He found a collection of caves there and has begun the laborious process of marking the tunnels and sending out word as to where they are now living. The pride is holding open arms to any who wish to join and is welcoming all who cross their borders.
The Mizimu'Tungika Pride (CuterThanYou, Slander) - Currently settled in lands far to the south of the Jini-msemi, their predecessors, the Mizimu'Tungika (or Spirit-Bound) are a semi-nomadic, spiritual, and war-mongering pride. They believe that might is right, and that otherworldly forces (aka, the spirits) exert great influence over the affairs of the mortal world. Sacrificial offerings help to keep the spirits happy, and a specialized sect of lions work to understand the will of the spirits while others hone their skills at battle. While the pride does not consider itself to be particularly bloodthirsty or violent, they are loyal to the will of the spirits. Unfortunately for neighboring prides, the spirits seem to want to move to newer and lusher territories from time to time, causing an unending cycle of war and appeasement. The current Queen and Warleader (Jinichongo and Sakata) share the rule of the pride, in newly-conquered lands where the spirits of the pride they defeated are crying out for vengeance.
The Mteo'Nyungu Pride (Safaia, Naita) - Located in the deep south, the Mteo'Nyungu are a pride who have long rejected outsiders. In recent times, however, Warithi has allowed rogues access to the pride, and trouble is brewing as a result.
The Usafi'tukufu Colony (Andranis, Pink Myth) - After a recent earthquake, a long-dormant disease whiped out close to half the colony. Those who survived, many have fled, fearing the disease lingering. What remains seek out old and new blood for the colony. Travelers are warned to be wary when entering Usafi lands, though, as the leopards here are very territorial and do not take kindly cheetahs or lions.
The Kucha'ujamaa Pride (Excited Apathy, Nevayeh) - The Kucha'ujamaa is a home for those who cannot fit into their normal society for a very big reason: they are capable of murder. Any personality, any quirk or habit, any dark past or dirty secret is accepted within the Dark Brotherhood. There is only one law the Kucha'ujamaa recognize, and that is the law of the Five Tenets. The Tenets are no mere code of honor, but a necessity to prevent the band of assassins from turning upon each other and destroying the Brotherhood from the inside out. All species are accepted, for all have those they wish dead...and who better to infiltrate them than one of their own kind?
The Binadamu Pride (honey.roasted.ferrets, Shinosbee, Lithia_Brandon) - The Binadamu (Literally translated as "Citizen") was founded by the mighty lions and leopards made to fight in Roman coliseums, who escaped back to their African homes. The pride was once a vast empire that ruled over most of northern Africa. However, the massive earthquake shattered their mountain home, making their numbers plummet. The current Caesar, Maximus, now leads his small pride to a new home. A land blessed by the Roman gods the pride so faithfully follows.
The En Gedi Pride (Thalion, Randy2love) - The En Gedi are generally peaceful lions rich in history and culture. Mornings begin the training of the younglings. Towards sunset, the lionesses are sent out to begin their hunt. The nights are welcomed with song and dance, stories, and the laughter of the young as they play. While they believe in peace, they understand that peace is something that must be protected. Warriors are kept sharp and scouts on constant patrol. Outsiders are brought straight to the king, queen, or warrior chief. More often than not, outsiders seeking refuge are brought into the pride as part of the family.
The Mizuka'Nyevu Pride (Dark Fire Angel, Felyn) - Hiding deep within the valley of the mist lay the Mizuka'nyevu (Mist ghosts), both descendants of the Umande'mfuni, and former pride members seeking to revive the old ways of the pride. Skittish and shy, these lions usually remain hidden from strangers, preferring to maintain their existence but a rumour other prides whisper about. Many outsiders claim these lions have mystical abilities, what with their apparent ability to disappear into the mists like ghosts in the nighttime...
The Ukuucha'Wafalme Pride (Roxy_Roxanna, Reeshie Hack) - Males live together in brotherhood , as the new Sultan takes his place and attempts to revive the spirit of the pride. Many have left on their journey to adulthood in search of a female to begin their harems. The old ways set down in the desert so many generations ago are still strong and females live only to serve the males that master them. Surrounded by the lake and living in peace the pride slowly expands and soon the ferocity of the males may need to rise against those who would seek to taint the ideals they have held for so long.
The Ahsnai'le Pride (Honey Gee) - Originally two tribes at war with one another; the Ashnai'le are a people united by their Shatkona, the King of Balance, whom they trust to guide them and ensure peace and happiness in their valley home. For hundreds of years, life for these lions was good and prosperous. Everyone was very happy. Then, at the dawn of a new century Sahen, a greedy and evil lion not fit for the throne he inherited, became Shatkona and the lions of the Ashnai'le pride lands were thrust into a type of hell. Ever since Sahen became king, life in the Ashnai'le pride lands has been cruel and difficult. Like their ancestors so many years ago, the lions there now live everyday in terror of punishment and, quite possibly, death at the hand of the Ligi; Sahen's personal henchmen (and henchwomen!) who he has bestowed upon special privileges in exchange for following his orders. The Ligi are the muscle of the pride; they wander the borders and, rather than keeping people out, they are responsible for keeping everyone in, as well as generally terrorizing whenever Sahen's sees fit. Recently, an old seer predicted the birth and coming of a savior; a lion or lioness destined to rise up and challenge Sahen, and then take his place as Shatkona. Sahen is paranoid and behaving more radically than ever. His efforts to control the people have doubled as he yearns to maintain his iron-like grip on the pride, and even the Ligi are frightened of his ambition now. No matter what he tries, however, the savior will come.
