Back Lands

The **Back Lands** are an African territory on the border of the Pride Lands.

## Physical Attributes

The Back Lands are very similar to the Pride Lands overall. There is much vegetation everywhere, with many large trees overlooking the land. Bushes are also present, though not quite as abundant as the trees. Whilst not shown, a watering hole also exists. There are many dirt paths scattered around the land, particularly near some of the trees. In addition to all of this, some areas contain many rocks of varying shapes and sizes.

## History

### Legends of the Lion Guard: Protectors of the Pride Lands

#### A Fragile Hope

The Lion Guard, Rafiki, Makini, Mhina and his siblings, Kamaria, and Anika travel through the Back Lands in order to get to the Tree of Life.

#### Brother's Journey

Kion and Nguruma are taken to the Back Lands by Nala in order to find Udugu. She takes them to the Iroko Tree, where they are tasked with working together to dig up a baobab fruit.

#### Mhina's Tale

Anga tells Kion that everything is okay in the Back Lands. Later, Anga leaves to return to her homeland in order to give Kion and Mhina alone time.

#### Feline on the Run

The Lion Guard, Mhina, Makini, and Salim and Ujuzi travel through the Back Lands to get to Leopon Plains.

### Legends of The Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands

After spending some time with the Lion Guard, Mhina, and Jasiri, Anga returns to the Back Lands. She later does so again, with the excuse that she has to see Chifu. Later, Anga once again flies home to the Back Lands, as Chifu and Wimbo want her. Some time after, a delegation from the Back Lands Lands travels to the Pride Lands to hear Simba's news that Scar has returned. Some time afterward, Chifu reveals that Scar has been brought back, and Mozari's Lion Guard prepares to train the Back Landers. When Scar commences his attack on the Pride Lands, Mozari mentions the Back Lands in the Lion Guard's catchphrase.

### Legends of the Lion Guard: The Dark Prophecy

The Lion Guard, Mhina, Makini, and Nguruma travel through the Back Lands on their way to the Tree of Life, unaware that Makucha's Leap is planning on following them. Soon, they reach Mirihi Forest and pause for a break. Some time afterward, Makucha and his leap have just reached the waterfall when they are joined by Ora's Bank and Reth's Pride, who are also going to the Tree of Life for their own malicious intent. While Makucha and Ora strike an alliance, Reth refuses to ally with them, wishing for his pride to remain independent.
