Aiyalis Lion Pride

The Principle:
I believe in the convenant of family.
I believe in the covenant of plural marriage.
I believe family is the key to celestial heaven.
I believe it is my duty to keep my family together on this earth.
And I pray for the guidance to do just that.
-Big Love

The Prophet: King Malik [x]
The Prophet is the most respected
member of the Aiyalis Lion Pride. Highly religious,
the inhabitants of Aiyalis believe that he is God's messenger.



Thema: Kiesha [x]
The Thema is the first mate to Malik.
Her opinion holds more weight then any of the
other wives. She's the first he comes to when
making important decisions. She deals more with the
business aspects of the Pride then does the rest of the family.

Zhenga: Laeschelle
The Zhenga is the second mate to Malik.
If anything should happen to the first mate, she
will resume the position of Thema. The Zhenga bounces
between business and taking care of the family. She's the 'middleman'
to say the least.

Darice: Anieya
The Darice is the third mate to Malik.
If something were to happen to the Zhenga,
she would resume that position and so forth.
She tends to all the cubs from each litter. She has
very little to do with any business aspects. She is also
the youngest and often the 'favorite' because of her youth.

The 'Happy List':

This is a list of females who have just reached
sexual maturity. It is from this list that the Prophet
chooses who will be his next mate. Those listed at the very
top of the list are considered his currently favorites and the most likely to
be chosen. It is considered an 'honor' to be mated to the Prophet.

The females on this list are not generally reserved
for the Prophet. If a male would like to take her as one
of his mates, he may do so if Malik grants permission.
[ Ages 1-3 only! ]

High Priest:
The High Priest is in charge
of the young Priesthood Holders. He
guides them as they grow up and teaches
them the way of Polygamy and the religion
behind it. He is also in charge of all young males
growing up in the pride. On occassion, he will speak
to the pride members and preach the Principle.

Priesthood Holders: Marcus
The follow under the High Priest's command. Their job
is to protect the females of the pride and to help teach the
cubs the Principle in terms that they may better understand
them. They are respected and hard working males of the pride.
It's considered an 'honor' to be a Priesthood Holder as the rank
only goes to those who have shown complete loyalty and
willingness to follow the Prophet's teachings. This rank is for
males only. They are unable to accept new members into the
pride for their duties require them to be constantly busy.

Guardians:
The Guardians protect the borders and check for
intruders. They do not have the ability to accept members into
the pride. Their sole purpose is to make sure no hybrids enter
the territory, that they are not attacked, and that no wandering
newcomers have crossed far into the territory. If they find
someone who has come and is seeking acceptance, they are to
bring them either to a recruiter or the King himself.

Healers:
Healers specialize in treating minor illness's and injuries. They
also at times aid in the birth of a litter if need be. The savannah
does not have many herbs so often they must travel outside of
the pride to collect them. Healers are generally females due to
the nature of their work.

Recruiters:
A recruiter's sole purpose is to seek out worthy pure bred lions
and bring them to the Pride to be accepted into Aiyalis. Recruiters
are capable of accepting members into the Pride however should
that member cause problems, they must take blame for it. Their
jobs are both internal and external. At times they will travel into
the unclaimed territories of Orion in search of lions.

Hunters: Whisper
This rank is for females of the Pride only. The females as a
group, hunt together to bring down large amounts of prey. A call
is therefore sent to the King and Pride members to come and
feast. All ranked males must eat first.

Unranked:
These members have either not proved themselves worthy of a
rank or are new members to the Pride.

Responsibilities of Males vs. Females

Males:
Ranked or unranked, males
in the Pride have a responsibility
to protect the territory. If anyone
enters the territory or challenges the
Leader, they are expected to defend at all
costs. Doing so when unranked may make you
eligible for a rank depending on the situation.

Also, a male with no mates is
considered of low status. The more
mates, the closer they are to God.

Females:
As with males, ranked or
unranked, females have the
responsibility to care for the cubs
of the Pride. They must also protect
the children at all costs. They are the
future of the Pride. If food is running low,
they also have the responsibility of hunting
and finding food. With permission from Kiesha,
they may leave the territory in search of more food
resources. Doing so may make the eligible for a rank
depending on the situation.

A female who cannot find a mate
is considered to have something 'wrong
with her.' Family is of the upmost importance.
Mothers tend to try and introduce their cubs to
possible suitors at an early age.
