In the future this board will be for Battles and other meetings between the Prides

The gathering spot for the prides is a beautiful island sitting in the middle of a small lake, the island is connected with the main land by a narrow land bridge. The bridge is often covered by a thin layer of frigged cold water, the water is crystal clear. It is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom, even though it is 20 feet deep. The island is called Star Island, because it is bathed in the clear sparkling light of the stars at night.

History of the Prides

- Long before the prides: Once, long ago, when the earth was still young, there lived prides of large cats on this land. The prides: Firepride, Waterpride, and Earthpride, shared the land and lived beside each other. Stories of these legendary prides are passed down from generation to generation.
- After the cats were released: Many seasons passed, before the big cats came together to form prides.
- At the very beginning there were three prides: Sunpride, Moonpride, and Ivypride.
- The three prides lived together, in relative harmony for a long a long time.
- Then Ivypride disappeared, without a single trace. Sunpride, being the closest to Ivypride, were the first to discover this. Sunpride spent many days looking for any remaining members of Ivypride, then one day one was discovered. Huddled under a bush, Sunstar himself discovered a young warrior. She was a snow white tigress and her name was Lilypool. The tigress has never uttered a single word, not about what had happened to her pride or anything ever. She now still lives with Sunpride, as an elder, still having never spoken a single word.
- Several years of small skirmishes, but nothing eventful.
- Great snowstorm, that lasted three months. Many cats died.
- Small skirmishes between the prides, more humans coming into contact with the prides.
- The death of Moonstar: The king was caught by researchers and after being locked in a catch for many days, the primal lion went basirk. He killed around 6 humans and in the end he was killed. The prides always hoped that the large lion would return, but one night Moonprides healer received a message from Starpride. The prides ancestors had chosen a new leader for the pride.
- Emberstar was named king of Moonpride and his mate, Cypressstar, was named queen. They received their names, and Emberstar his nine lives, at the Moonstone.
- The battle of gold beach: Moonpride and Sunpride fought for two days and three nights for the territory around 'gold beach'. In the end, Moonpride won the beach, but Sunpride still owns the territory surrounding it.
- The death of Sunstar: Do to his old age and the wounds he had suffered in the battle for 'gold beach', Sunstar died in his sleep. The kings mate, Lightstar, followed him only a few days later.
- Duskstar was named king of Sunpride, at the Starpool.
- Seasons of warmth followed, pray was plentiful and the prides got along, well to some extent.
- The future will only tell what lies in the stars for the prides.
