The **Gale Lands** are a piece of savanna territory in the African Lands. They are inhabited by the Wind Pride and the creatures native to the land. It is in the middle-west of Africa. They are known for their open plains and the trees with the wind constantly blowing around them.

## Information

The Gale Lands are inhabited by many predators and prey, from Cheetahs to Impalas to Lions. They are the respected kingdom in the African Lands. They were ruled over by a Lion Monarchy, which in the Gale Lands all cubs born to the Monarchs are presented to the kingdom as possible future heirs. It is whoever the King or Queen sees the best to be the next ruler. However, most of the time the eldest cub is made the heir, just to make things simpler.

The Gale Lands usually have white chins, with tan to gold pelts. They have strong, muscular builds. It borders with the Jungle Lands to its North, the Grass Lands to its South, the Sun Lands to its east and the High Lands to its west.

## History

### Before the Kingdom’s

Like most lands before kingdoms, there was many little prides ruled by 1-6 males, who would take over a new pride if they needed to, kill all the cubs and mate with all the lionesses. The Gale Lands was no different. After Macheo’s revulsion, the Gale Lands became a Monarchy, and claimed as much land as they were needed. The first king was the leader of the largest pride, and his mate was one of the sister’s of the king from the second largest pride.

### Rulers

The future kings of the Gale Lands ruled with peace over their land. When is was time for their heirs to marry, they would pick from Royal Family’s such as the Lake Lands, Low Lands and River Lands. They are allowed to have a betrothal within their own pride as well. Males and Females both had equal chances to become rulers, and it doesn’t depend on age.

### Kgosi’s Reign

Kgosi took the throne when his father died. Kgosi was seen as a weak and small king, and many supported his sister Nyanda to become Queen. Unfortunately for them, Nyanda was betrothed to another lion and became the Queen there. Kgosi didn’t have a mate, and it seemed like he didn’t have a interest in taking one. King Mwili, his future brother in law, invaded his lover (Nyanda’s) home land and took over the Gale Lands. The Wind Pride were not happy about this, however Kgosi didn’t care. Mwili allowed him to simply to a figure head. To make their subjects happy, Mwili had Kgosi marry Mwili’s little sister, Adhra.

Kgosi and Adhra became the King and Queen Consort. While Kgosi was infatuated by her, she was less impressed. They managed to have one single son, Rehema.

### Rehema’s Reign

King Rehema took over the throne when his father abdicated. Rehema was seen as a better and stronger lion than his father, and most of the Pride loved him. When Kukundu, Rehema’s maternal cousin, came to the Gale Lands to lessen the monarchy, he took a stand, saying that he wouldn’t let Kukundu rule over his life. Kukundu was enraged by this, seeing this as his pride being tarnished. Later, some of Kukundu’s supporters set out to attack King Rehema. The result was Rehema being attacked in such a way that he couldn’t father any children. The Wind Pride wanted to have war on the Sun Lands, and Kukundu decided to give the lands back.

Rehema felt like a burden to not be able to have any cubs. He decided to dedicate his life to finding a successor. He found this in Princess Kilele of the Sun Lands, who has leucism. She was also from the Sun Lands, who formally held the Gale Lands. Kilele was wanted to be a Queen for the Sun Lands, but her brother was chosen over her. He never formally made Kilele his heir however. Rehema would continue to live for a long, long time. When he was at an very old age, at which his peers were becoming great-grandparents, he named Jororo, the only grandson to Kilele, his heir.
