Territory RegionsThe Golden BridgeThe Golden Bridge refers to the territory that follows the Painted Army border all the way around and ends in a bottleneck. There, it meets the end of the Clapperclaw lands and for the hydrophobic, is the only way to get around the watery lands to the Clapperclaws without having to cut through the Barrens' deadly deserts. The land here is flat, golden grasslands, much of which may be seen from The Watch. Yet as it curls around the Painted Border, the land becomes harder to monitor and the Painted Army can keep an easy eye on. Hunters ParadiseThe spine of the Sunbaked landscape and the larges region in their territory. The land here is mostly flat and made up of delicious, tall grass both green and golden in color. There are a few shrubs and trees but for the most part, the land is open. It is dangerous here for anyone who isn't on the top of the food chain. The WatchThe Watch, otherwise known as the Sunbaked's den, is located not far from the border leading into the Crossroads. Here, amongst the otherwise flat landscape, is a large gathering of boulders and shrubbery. shallow shelters under stable boulders are perfect for litters to sneak away and atop the high points of this formation, the predators can watch nearly all of their territory. Or just peacefully watch the sun rise and set. The Watering HolesNear the southern border of the Sunbaked territory, there are two large ponds with lush landscape surrounding them. The lands of the Sunbaked are a very dry land but the Watering Holes turns the territory from unbearable to an unlikely paradise. The herbivores used to graze their way through the land to the two sources of water. The prey no longer comes so frequently but the Watering Holes are still beloved. They are one of the best sources of shade in these golden baked lands. The DrylandsThe drylands is where the Sunbaked Pride's grasslands starts turning into the dry desert found in the Barrens Territory. Here the grass becomes shorter and shrubs no longer are lush. Coverage is hard to find and in some areas, the ground is so grey it is simply sand and dry dirt.

The Culture of the Sunbaked
øThe Sunbaked is usually lead by a dominant male and a dominant female, sometimes referred to as the King and Queen. While both demand respect, the King is usually the one considered more highly in charge and is the one to defend his throne from challengers. In general the Queens do not and are thus more likely to die from natural causes than the Kings are.
øNot until Ashur overthrew his father many moons ago did the Sunbaked allow adult males aside from their leader. Now other gentlemen are allowed but these subordinate males are still not allowed to mate with the lionesses.
øWhen a member of the Sunbaked dies, the pride will bring their body into the Crossroads to allow solitary animals to consume them. Therefore allowing for a the cycle of life to continue.
øThe Sunbaked are highly protective of their territory and have been known to kill intruders without a second thought.
