It?s not in my nature to be mysterious. I just can?t talk about it and I can?t talk about why.

I'm not quite sure how the prides are going to be named, whether or not it's going to be voted on or picked by whoever is the leader of the pride, but here are a few that I found, whether for the prides or maybe it will spark some thoughts for character names...hope they help. possessor of power { Swahili: mwenyezi } power of holding together { Swahili: ushikamano } arbitary use of power { Swahili: Kabwela , pl makabwela } make perfect { Swahili: -kamilisha [derived: Arabic] } be perfect { Swahili: -takamali } foster brother {Swahili: ndugu wa kunyonya , pl ndugu wa kunyonya} one of the family { Swahili: mtani , pl watani } membership in a family { Swahili: utani } mutual love { Swahili: mapendano [derived: penda V] } love story { Swahili: riwaya ya mapenzi , pl riwaya za mapenzi } friendship { Swahili: usahibu } the website I found them on is :[ www.yale.edu/swahili ] in case anyone wants to use it. |

Here's what things are looking like:
Pridelands
No explanation needed.
King: Ahadi
Queen Uru
Pride B
Neutral/dark-type. Lands will be the future home of the Outlanders.
King: Needed
Queen: Needed
Pride C
Neutral-type. Lands will probably be lush and forested. Think Lerai Forest before ER went down. Sarafina's home pride.
King: Chioh
Queen: Unnamed, played by Umande
King: Pending
Queen: Sauti
We also need names for Prides B and C! So let's hear some suggestions!

I'd also like to add Mafundi'pori, which means "masters of wild lands", to the list.

I feel like being the King of Pride B... Kermain is going to be the same mean bast---d he was at the beggining. So for evil pride B I'm really up for it. Tho I was thinking a little Maybe not King and Queen, how about something like Kings? Just pure evil nomad type of pride?

Kabwela looks good! I didn't see Mafundi'pori in the list. What does it mean? I like the mutal love one, Mapendano, and also the friendship one, Usahibu.

Pondering if I want Hasani, the character I'm planning on eventually pairing up with Saffy as Nala's father to be from her pride or from the Pridelands. I see pros and cons to either, if he's from the Pridelands where does he stand in relation to Taka/Mufasa? Maybe he's of a lucky final litter of old Mohatu's? If he's from the Pride C lands then is he a/the prince and betrothed to Saffy on the outset and if she is why does she eventually go to the Pridelands? Either way I can see his eventual death causing some SERIOUS ripples through both sides.

I think it'd be interesting for Hasani to come from the Pridelands - although, in the end, it's your decision.  |

Were you planning on going with him being Mohatu's last child and thus being Ahadi's brother or have you got another idea? I'm open to just about anything. |

Ahadi's brother would make sense, if we're getting into treaties - that is, your daughter marries my son to strengthen the bonds of our alliance, etc etc. I don't see the harm in it. Does anyone else? o:

Does anyone else? o: Nope, I don't, at least. Nice idea and it pretty much explains away all the loose end problems I was having. |
