Lorien Plains

7 adults • 4 yearlings • 0 cubs • 11 total

Tall, savannah grasses stretch far across the territory of Lorien Plains, swaddling the lands in a vibrant blanket of gold, no matter the weather or time of day. Though the majority of the pride lands are flat, given that they are nestled within the heart of Celosia Fields, gently rolling hills can be found scattered about, as can a small system of creeks that run off from the nearby watering hole. Though the territory is relatively dry, it remains filled with life and vegetation that has grown hearty beneath the heat of the summer sun and those that have stood the test of time.
