Neriumm's Den

Lore!

Welcome to the Lost Summits, raging waterfalls and icy cliffs and fauna that makes up Delicate Snow's pride. You may be wondering how you ended up in such a plentiful land. Delicate Snow will wonder the same, although she'll sit down and listen and help.

Delicate Snow is the semi-daughter of the legendary Blinding Lightning, although the former king had never realized this. Delicate Snow's mother was Flowing Grass, a now-deceased lioness of the pride. She had been born to the brown lioness alongside her brother, Hissing Viper. Flowing Grass had helped Blinding Lightning escape from a rich poacher who held them captive and it was clear they were smitten for each other. They fled and arrived at a desert where they stayed for the cubs to grow up.

From a young age, Hissing Viper had resented Blinding Lightning for stealing his mother's attention and while Delicate Snow agreed, she learned to keep her mouth shut. Soon, everything changed from their seemingly peaceful lives in the desert. Blinding Lightning insisted on leaving to find a better home and left the two cubs behind just as they were adults. Hissing Viper was outraged and Delicate Snow had to admit she was pretty furious as well.

For the next few years, Hissing Viper dedicated his time to find his mother and stepfather and taking revenge whereas Delicate Snow would have been content with just seeing Flowing Grass again. And so, the journey began. It took another few years until they found a pride and they both recognized Blinding Lightning. Instantly joining, they sought their mother but couldn't find her. By dropping subtle questions they learned she had been chased off and Hissing Viper got even more enraged.

It wasn't for another year or two of the pride when Hissing Viper revealed everything; the fact he was Flowing Grass's son and Delicate Snow was her daughter. The next thing the pride new Blinding Lightning was under the large and superior paws of Hissing Viper. Even though her hatred for the king, she knew that she couldn't let the homicide commence. She sprang forward and tackled Hissing Viper who had already maimed Blinding Lightning and pulled him off, giving him scars of his own.

The pride worshiped the huntress for saving their king but Blinding Lightning was too weak to continue to lead. He put his pride in the paws of Delicate Snow who is now the queen of the mountains, ruling with a kind and open heart. She let her brother stay, albeit reluctantly, but he felt betrayed and fled to an allies pride.

Now, you know the story of the pride. Here, have some prey for the night. The lionesses won't mind if you sleep in a cave.
