The Lions

Large felines that dominate the savannah to the south and east of the place of arrival.

They view all they can see as theirs, including the clearing in which the newcomers arrived.

Similarly, the jungle beyond. They also consider The Jackals to be dishonorable for kindling their own version of The Divine Flame.

A group of influential emissaries met with four such lions, near where the clearing meets the grasslands.

The one that primarily spoke was Balat, with some interjection from Rasmu. Two other Lions were there as well, one of which they determined lacked the Flame-Touched sentience.
