THE VANISHING
This is the first major event in our pride meta. This event (The Vanishing) will last from August 1st to October 1st.
To emphasize realism in the pride and the current state the pride is in, every Saturday there will be an small update posted in this thread.
Following the conversation held in a pridal meeting to address the Growing Concerns of the lioness surrounding the ill-timed exit of the territory's resident and migratory herds, the Abaholi—backed by Umama Ukwazi—have ordered all able-bodied to scout the outer edges of the pride's current location for signs of herd movements in hopes of moving the pride ahead of schedule to secure a more stable food source. While this command is primarily directed to those with vulture companions; the Cinga and Aenda of the Bonelands, there was emphasis put that all lions must do their part in different ways.

PRIDE INFORMATION
This information is static and will not change for the duration of the meta.
Weather/Location
As the long dry season continues to beat down on the Ithambo'hlabathi, the temperatures are reaching 18°C/64°F in the morning and 31°C/88°F in the afternoon, taking hours to cool into the evening. Warm air from the northern desert prolongs this cooling, taking until the early AM for temperatures to drop to a more comfortable degree. In an effort to stay out of the heat and to conserve as much energy as possible, the pride remains centrally located in the Ithambo'hlabathi; roughly a day trip west of the land's regional lake while simultaneously positioning themselves strategically close to the sole known herd in the Ithambo'hlabathi; a herd of zebra, roughly thirty heads in size. Most predators are not gutsy enough to pick a fight with the lean pride, but the occasional brave jackal or wild dog is not uncommon.
Herd Status
The sole remaining zebra herd consisting of 30 individuals roams the shrublands to the west, roughly two days from the pride's current location. Some of the herd's mares are noticeably pregnant, a welcome sign for the lean pride. For now, the herd seems stationary, choosing to roam in a rough circle around the pride's current locations, always two to three days out until they approach the lake to drip, at which point the herd can be seen after only a few hours at a moderate pace.
At least one Umholi is seen patrolling the lands near this herd at all times, sometimes accompanied by an Inselelo or Ahluke.

- (Cinga/Enda) Your travels have taken you far from the body of the pride. Your paws take you in all directions, as far as the horizon stretches. On your travels, you may come across...
- 1. You find scat belonging to a lion. It is weeks old.
2. You find a snake hidden beneath a rock overhang. (Bonus Event!)
3. You find a swarm of vultures picking at the body of a wildebeest. It is more than half-eaten. You are too far and it is too heavy to drag home.
4. You come across a rogue lion! (Bonus Event!)
(Adol/Adult) Your paws may not take you to far-off, foreign lands, but during the night, you still wander all the same—albeit much closer, a day's travel at most—in hopes of finding something...
- 1. You find a mostly consumed zebra foal. It is little more than a snack.
2. You find a starving wild dog. It is defensive of the small kill it is protecting. (Bonus Event!)
3. You find the bones of a (prey animal of choice). The carcass has long been picked clean.
4. You find a satellite herd made of a dozen zebra. (Bonus Event!)
