Due to the pride beliefs, breeding is encouraged. However! Post here to let us know you're going for a breeding! These are the steps:
1) Post in this thread with the appropriate form filled out
2) Once you’ve received the cubs, report them to the leaders in this thread (with form)
3) Only one person (of a breeding pair) needs to submit the form to this thread, not both.
It’s nothing difficult and it helps us keep track of things.
Special Note for Mix-and-Match Months!
Because hybrid breeding is DISCOURAGED, and more than a few hybrids come out of mix-and-match month for SoA that normally wouldn't throw hybrids, the answer to the hybrid question on the form is 'NO' for Aikanaro'hini members. This will apply to all mix-and-match months after July 2013.
**Keep in mind that pale cubs will never really be considered important or valuable. Dark colours are favoured and pale children are a mark against the individual and the parent.
In order to ensure that everyone has read and understands these regulations, please post in this thread saying that you've read the above. Thanks!
Mating Rituals
To reiterate the section in the Beliefs and Ritual thread, these are the mating rituals for the pride. Please keep them in mind when you are wanting to breed and bring cubs into the pride. Thanks~
Anyone may partner with anyone at any time. However, if someone wishes to settle down with a life mate, they must seek approval from three parties: The parents of the life mate, the kings and queens, and the priests. Once these blessings are obtained, the male and female must then fight a parent of their life mate to prove their strength and worthiness. This is a ritual combat and follows the same rules as those observed in duels used to settle disputes. The female fights the mother of her mate and the male fights the father of his mate.
Life mating between members of the pride and outsiders are forbidden, as are any sort of long-term relationships with slaves. Should any lion be found guilty of such treason they are sentenced to death and hunted mercilessly. There are no rules against taking a life mate out of your rank but there is often an unspoken disappointment in lions who choose to do such things.
The only way a long-term relationship with an outsider is tolerated is through the recruitment of demon-kin. The pride is aware that there are demons that are outside the pride and assume that a relationship that forms between an outsider and a pride member is the result of the two parties involved recognizing the demon within the outsider. Usually, such things are frowned upon unless the pride member is a Neumar or Neumare. However, sometimes others may also find suitable candidates for the pride and are expected to bring them back and present them to the leaders for initiation into the pride before any serious relationship is considered.
Within the Aikanaro'hini, life mating is actually fairly rare. A couple may easily choose to stay together for a number of months or years, have a family and raise cubs and yet still see others on the side - with absolutely no jealousy. Harems may form around a single male (or female) and shift and dissolve as loyalties and tastes change. Slaves sometimes may be part of these harems but only to satisfy desires or possibly to punish the slaves - never to have cubs with. This is not really seen as a "relationship" with the slave(s), but as a short-term and generally meaningless pastime - even if the slave remains in the harem for a long period of time. It's all in how it's thought of by the lion in question.
Only a life mated pair will be faithful to one another alone. For demons, this is a rare occurrence, so it is far more common in the pride for lions to simply be free with their love and favors within the pride.
Cub Info
When cubs come, the pride leaders must be notified immediately. No one is to enter the mother’s den besides her mate until such a time as she emerges with her cubs. The first few weeks after birth are a sacred time where the parents are charged with laying the foundations that the newly arrived demons will tread upon. As such, they are not to be disturbed until a full cycle of the moon has passed after the birth of the cubs.
After this time time period, however, the cubs are expected to join in with the other young ones and start their life as members of the pride. Weaklings are often weeded out this way and those who cannot stand on their own among their peers are often killed or run off. Cubs protecting one another is not frowned upon but if it happens too often with any one cub, it is distasteful, a show of weakness on the part of the one being protected. |
