The Tumbela Coalition

[Duco Ndona]

Ultimately prides are the core of lion society. Not coalitions. So I prefer to look at things from a prides perspective.  
Which has two paths right now. 


They can stick it out with the Tumbellas, and hope they last long enough to raise their current litter. Luckily its largely females and if they raise every one of them to adulthood, it would in one blow solve most of the problems the pride has currently. Or they are being taken over. However due to the age of the two older lionesses, it would mean they wasted a lot of the time they had left on this plane. Making it very unlikely that the new litter of cubs will make it. And if they have the misfortune to only raising male cubs. It would pretty much be a deathblow to the pride. 


And while that may seem to be mostly favorable for the Tumbellas at the moment. If the PC males wait their turn they will have a far healthier and bigger low maintance pride to raise cubs in in a few years. So in the long run that favours them greatly too. 


The western sector is a very stable region btw. I think the last real drama there, on par to what we are seeing in the east was when the Selatis were ran out. So they dont need to have the biggest and baddass males to rule there. It has done just fine with the sick and elderly in the past. Reply
