Welcome, and thank you for taking a peek~
The E'he-Anda is a Pride developed around the history, and concept of the Gerudo from The Legend of Zelda. Primarily, Ocarina of Time. But some things from all games may be put to use here.
We are well aware of Utatu, the other Zelda based pride, and we are actually a sister-pride of sorts. While separate, these two prides are directly connected, and will share many events in the future. To see Utatu, please make use of the link in the Links section.
For those who know nothing of Zelda, or the Gerudo, don't worry. You don't need extensive knowledge to own a member in this pride. We'll provide all the details needed, as well as outside links, in case you're curious to learn more.

Member Traits
Pelt Color
Red: Those with red pelts are often seen as being powerful, and blessed by the gods. It is a well respected, and desired coloring, which may often be shown favoritism by the rulers. Even hints of it are revered but the heavier the it covers ones coat, the stronger you're believed to be.
White: White is known as a very pure color, looked at more for the non-combatants of the pride. One wishing to become a Raider with a very light, or white pelt, may have some difficulty in doing so. However it does open other doors to them in high, ranks of power in the spiritual circles. White is revered perhaps as much as red, tho, in a different way. You are seen to be touched by the spirits themselves if you have a very heavy white coat, and pushed towards the life of a priestess, guiding the tribe to more profitable and safe takes.
Black/Dark: Another strong coloring, those bearing black or dark pelts are watched very closely. Their pelt gives them an advantage, and better chances when aiming for many army ranks. While not seen as strongly as red, the pelt is perfect for Raiders, and is a color of deception. While they are seen as strong, they may not always be well trusted.
Pelt Coloring Under construction.
Physique
One's physical build is very important when deciding what rank or future they would be best suited for. While all members are welcome to decide their own ranks to apply for, we only ask that you use common sense. If you play your character as weak, and small, they are not likely to be chosen for higher army ranks.
As the E-he'Anda are a group of many different species from all over Africa, their builds vary greatly, and no one specific type is best for the pride overall.
Personality
Again, as this is a large gathering from all over, no certain personality is best, or more suiting.
We will also not be prohibiting any type of personality. The Gerudo freely welcome all Feline species who accept their ideals.
We do, however, again, expect common sense. Your character will not be excused from the laws of the pride, just because they do something within the range of the personality we have accepted. If you play them as evil, and they kill a member of the pride, they will STILL face judgment.
Breeding
When breeding is open, a female is free to request to go out and breed with any male of her choosing, be them her mate, a pride member, a rogue, or a member of another pride. Males wishing to breed with a female outside of the pride must gain special permission from Ganon to venture out and steal the babies, or bring the female into the pride.
After birth, any males are often raised with a Aur'si(Nanny), while females are raised with their mother, or a Si'tofia(Teacher). Though this is not a requirement.
All cubs may be left with Aur'si(Nannys) of the pride, to be raised according to their physique and gender. Or, in turn, may also be raised by their mother. It is very rare, however, for a male to gain the chance to lean under a Si'tofia.
History
Under the rule of the mysterious Gannon, and their Lati, Kurage Sarai, the Gerudo make their home along the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, gladly making use of the dying lands remaining resources. Though, they are not the only ones living in this land.
The Utatu, a gathering of three prides who live deep in the center of the crater, preceded the Gerudo in this land, already having laid claim to the most beneficial areas. This, however, did not stop the band of thieves. With Gannon's helpful suggestion, they sent out groups to slip into the crater, under the cover of darkness, snatching up any fresh kill needed to feed their tribe... Along with any trinkets that caught their eye.
The Utatu did well to keep the land alive, and plentiful enough for themselves. They were peaceful, and far too easy to take advantage of. Realizing just how easy this new way of life could be, the Gerudo were quick to take advantage of it. They would gladly raid this land of all they needed to live comfortably.
But where did they begin?
One Lioness, in all her anger, began pulling others to her... Others who believed the ways taught to her by the rogue king, Ganon. Ways passed on through him by an ancient pride, long wiped out by the Utatu.
In the beginning, ......Working on

Territory
Common Weather: Intense Sun, few clouds.
Common Temperature: 84-95degrees
The E-he'Anda members live past the rise to the west, outside of the crater.
It is a very hot land, with little humidity or proper shade. The primary landscape is sand, and stone, their home being settled comfortably by a lively river at the bottom of a very deep ravine. They live along the face of the ravine, up above the river in many naturally-formed caves and caverns, where they often receive a much lower temperature.
They learn to move carefully along the many narrow natural-walkways leading in and out of their home, and it would be very hard for one unfamiliar with their land to not only find, but navigate their way in to the area, giving them a strategic advantage, despite not having the high-ground.
Gerudo Ravine: The main homeland of the Gerudo Pride
Ruins: The crumbling remains of a lost human civilization. It is rumored that this was once Ganon's home. In case of full-scale attack, those unable to fight are evacuated to the ruins via tunnels.
Temple: The Gerudo's main place of worship. It is on a rise, overlooking the city ruins. The pride will often go here for the importance Ceremonies, and Celebrations.
Wastelands: Dead, over-heated lands, constantly torn by savage sand storms. Very few know the trick of crossing such a land. They stretch far, and wide, even blocking off the Ruins and Temple from ground level. |
