Hello and welcome!
I'm happy to present you with the very vain pride called Khaled'nava which is founded by my lioness Jahzara.
I think this pride is very different from a lot of the others out there, but I'd love to hear what you think about maybe having this pride come into the SoA world!

Pride creation
What happens when a vain lioness wants to surround herself with only the most beautiful things in life? Well that's exactly how Khaled'nava was formed! The lioness Jahzara was born in the rogue lands and since she was a cub has always wanted to live in a community of other lions. When she finally reached adulthood she left her mother and siblings to begin her quest of finding a pride. However, the vain lioness found that most of the prides she encountered didn't fit her views, had ugly surroundings or quite simply had unsightly looking creatures living within it's borders. Jahzara could have given up and just lived as a rogue, however, she wanted a community to depend on and in return they could depend on her. So the idea hit her that if there wasn't a pride already out there that fit her qualifications, why not just create one? Thus the young lioness began to scout out locations for her and others like her to come together and live out their lives peacefully and surrounded by nothing but the most beautiful scenery possible. When she had successfully secured the location which was abundant with flowers, food and water she began to settle in and start up her pride.

Geography

Khaled'nava is nestled in between the Ruheba Mountains and Masai Steppe. It's cut off from the Serengeti Plain by a large body of water except during the dry season when the water level lowers some and allows a small path to open up and gain access to the pride.

Pridal Views

Naming: There is no set restrictions on the naming process within the pride, though it's common for children to be named after something beautiful/have a meaning of beautiful (ex: flowers)

Colorization: The pride doesn't have to many restrictions on color, only that you can't be one solid color. Pelts must be a mix of two or more colors. Patterns are loved! As an example of the differing colored pelts allowed in the pride, there is an image of Jahzara's pelt colors.

Mating: There is no restrictions on the type of partnerships that are allowed within the pride. To put it simply, what you do in your alone time is your own concern and no one else's. While mating is reserved for adults it is possible for adolescents to promise themselves to someone or for parents to betroth their children of any age to another's.

Breeding: The pride is 100% made up with lions so of course the breeding's that occur within the pride are all between lions. If a lion goes out of the pride and has a fling they may breed with anyone and bring the cubs back. Non-lion hybrids are allowed into the pride to be raised by their parent until adolescence when they will be kicked out. Lion-hybrids are free to stay. (Hybrids that had been kicked out can hang around the border but they will never be excepted within the pride.) Breeding is a fun only adults get to participate in within the pride. If adolescents fling outside the pride any cubs brought back will be placed in the care of the lions relative or given to the ---.

Hybrids: The only type of hybrids allowed within the pride are lion-hybrids. In general, the prides attitude towards hybrids is that they are accepted and tolerated. However, individuals may have differing opinions on hybrids.

Noble (Unlimited) These lions have been given a place among the nobility and usually serve their upper's in some fashion. (ex: lady-in-waiting) Also commonly referred to the members of the royal family that don't really fall anywhere else. This rank doesn't denote their rank so much as status.

Mirror: (Unlimited) These lions must be okay with flattering their uppers because that's exactly what their job entails.

I'm still working on the pride ranks, but I put those up as a template. A good majority of them will stay! They might just have a different name. c:
