Because of past attempts by the Magi Hyenas to hunt them down in their former den, this current den represents a relatively new home for the clan. Concealed within the depths of their territory, this hidden entrance leads to a cavern, the opening overlooking Lake Nyangumi.

Upon entering, a narrow passage gives way to a spacious chamber, with a path leading down to an open room. Adjacent to the path lies a sizable pool, its waters sourced from the depths of the lake below. Despite its appearance, the pool is shallow. Adorning the chamber walls are smaller openings serving as sleeping quarters.

Incomers are barred from entering the inner chambers; instead, they are required to sleep and dwell outside the den or find elsewhere within the territory to rest.

Lake Nyangumi
Situated at the northern perimeter of the Kusitawa territory lies a great lake, its waters flowing onward from land beyond the Zuvan clan's domain, eventually merging with the sea. This expansive freshwater lake is beautiful, teeming with a diverse array of plant, animal, and fish species.

During the wildebeest migration, the Kusitawa clan enjoys the privilege of first pickings as the massive creatures pause to drink from the lake's waters.

Lake Wamekufa
A shallow salt and soda lake (think of Lake Natron.) Its scary composition, characterized by high salt content and hot temperatures, renders the area inhospitable for most animal species. However, amidst this harsh environment, a phenomenon unfolds as flamingos flock to the lake, transforming it into a bustling breeding ground.

The area poses significant dangers, particularly during the wet season when the water levels rise. The water's corrosive and caustic nature can cause severe burns upon contact. Ingesting the water is lethal, while even exposure to the eyes can result in permanent blindness.

Termite Mounds
Termite mounds dot the landscape within the lower half of their territory. anteaters, caught unaware as they probe the mounds for termites, become unwitting targets for the hungry hyenas. Hyenas do not hesitate to consume the termites themselves either.

Old den site
As a result of Magi Giza, they abandoned their former den site and established a new one. Despite this, members occasionally return to their original dens, which have become habitats for prey. New members to the clan will also stay here till they are allowed to join in with the current den sight.

Resources in the Kusitawa territory are decent, especially the abundance of herbs thriving within their domain. They identify, harvest, and prepare these medicinal herbs to treat injuries, illnesses. 

A large, flat-topped rock formation jutting out of the landscape. It stands as a majestic and imposing structure, overlooking the vast expanse of the Nyota. At the top is a large, flat plateau, providing a commanding view of the surrounding territory. This plateau serves as a natural stage for important events within the clan.

Within the rock formation lies a sprawling network of caves that twist and descend deep into the earth, providing a secure and secluded sanctuary for the clan. The den is carefully adorned with vines, flowers, and sticks, creating a natural ambiance, while cozy nesting areas are arranged throughout to offer comfort. As the caves wind deeper, clusters of bioluminescent mushrooms begin to appear, casting an ethereal glow that leads to the den of the Nabi. The innermost chambers of the caves are restricted, accessible only to those granted special permission.

Remnants of lion claws etched into the floors and walls serve as a testament to the Nyota's victory over their former adversaries long, long ago.

Komai Plains
The Komai Plains has a drier grassland landscape, interspersed with scrubs. There are a lot of rodents and burrowing animals here.

Zinariya Plains
The Zinariya Plains are primarily grasslands, where hyenas often find bison, gazelles, and zebras grazing. The tall grasses offer excellent cover for both predators and prey.

Cape Pond
The primary source of water within the Nyota territory, apart from the river, is a vital pond. When it drys up it serves as a dire warning to the Nyota hyenas.

Habari Springs
These warm springs stand as a coveted battleground between the Nyota and Magi Giza clans. This land, becomes a relentless point of contention, fueling ceaseless conflict between the two factions for the few precious resources it holds. Both clans lay claim to this area.

Resources within the Nyota clan are often scarce, yet not to the extent that the clan faces starvation unless anything leads to a decline in resources. 

However, the scarcity of water presents a significant challenge. The clan frequently finds themselves needing to travel greater distances compared to neighboring clans in search of water sources. 

During periods of drought, their problem intensifies as their own water reserves deplete, causing them to venture into other territories.

Nestled along the far eastern wall lies an abandoned mining site, its once-rich veins exhausted and now left to gracefully deteriorate. The Zuvan clan has repurposed this neglected space, utilizing its smooth walls as sturdy shelter. 

Paths meander up the walls to various tunnel entrances, with lower openings delving deeper into the mountain while higher ones accommodate only a few hyenas at a time. Cubs must exercise caution when ascending to the upper dens, as a misstep could result in injury. 

Lake Kiroho
Nestled deep within the heart of Zuvan territory lies a secluded lake, shrouded in mystery. Legends speak of a colossal fish, known to feast on canines, lurking within its dark depths.

Miamba Springs
Pools of warm, mineral-rich water. These springs serve as a rejuvenating retreat for Zuvan hyenas, offering a soothing respite for sore muscles.

Lafiy Basin
A sprawling expanse within Zuvan territory, is home to a population of Ethiopian wolves, albeit not abundant in number.

Maji Moto Falls
Along the foothills of the Zuvan Mountains, lies the tranquil falls—a serene spot. Here, the gentle rush of water descending from the mountain creates a calming atmosphere, offering visitors a peaceful retreat amidst the wilderness. Unfortunately, the clan often faces encounters with monkeys in this area.

Mzazi Shrine
The shrine serves as a sacred site where the clan presents offerings to honor the Mother. It holds profound significance for them, a place of reverence where they frequently gather for reflection.

Zuvan Pass
A narrow passage winds through the rugged mountains, serving as the sole entrance into the domain of the Zuvan clan. The Zuvan clan keeps this passage sealed except when traveling to the gathering rock.

Resources are plentiful here throughout the year. The Zuvan clan is accustomed to abundance, rarely experiencing shortages of food or water.

A maze of fallen trees, cracked trunks, and above-ground tunnels formed by bending cape willow trees, this communal den is one of the hardest areas to access. From the outside, there are so many twists and turns due to the amount of foliage growing within the swamp, making it a labyrinth for the uninitiated. Not to mention taking into consideration the amount of water in which one must avoid to keep away from danger. The main area has a large willow tree looming over the members of Magi Giza, tendrils of leaves hanging down to keep them sheltered and hidden from the elements. Within, one finds a small pool, tree trunks, and dug-out dens, along with a collection of old bones.

Kinamasi Forest
A mangrove forest stands as a protective barrier against coastal tides, safeguarding the Magi Giza from fully flooding. It shields them from storms and serves as a nursery for diverse marine life. It offers various snacking foods during certain times of the year. 

The medicinal properties of mangrove plants are perfect for treating skin conditions and infections, although such remedies may not be of interest to the Magi. The Kusitawa have been known to trade for them.

Mvua Lands
Wetlands dominate the heart of landscape, posing a formidable challenge for outsiders to navigate. During certain times of the year, these wetlands become sanctuaries for migratory birds. However, the waters are also frequented by human boats.

Habari Springs
These warm springs stand as a coveted battleground between the Nyota and Magi Giza clans. This land becomes a relentless point of contention, fueling ceaseless conflict between the two factions for the few precious resources it holds. Both clans lay claim to this area.

Safe Zones
The Magi Giza diligently establish and maintain safe zones throughout their territory, providing refuge for members caught in the perilous swamp during unfavorable times. These sanctuaries are often crafted from fallen trees, strategically positioned in elevated areas, and fortified with additional resources to shield against external threats.

Resources are hard to come by in the Magi Giza territory, even during times that are expected to be plentiful. The swampy wetlands make the terrain difficult to navigate and potentially hazardous. As a result, many animals prefer not to linger in the area for too long, and most grass eating animals struggle to find food as a lot of plants struggle to grow in the waterlogged soil. Prey here often fights back.

Mlinzi's communal den is less of a traditional den and more of a camp, nestled in the heart of Ituri plains. The camp sits within a shallow, bowl-shaped hollow that cradles the pride, offering some protection against the winds but little else.

The walls are carefully reinforced with stone and mud, ensuring the sides remain strong and sturdy. The floor of the camp is worn bare from the constant movement of the pride, with patches of soft sand scattered throughout, providing a bit of comfort underpaw.

At the center of the camp lies a small pool that appears and disappears with the changing seasons. During the dry season, the water recedes, leaving behind a thick layer of mud. The lions will roll in this mud, coating themselves to shield against the sun's harsh rays.

Ituri Plains
The Ituri Plains takes up most of the lions' territory, home to a lot of grazing animals and nesting birds. This area is lush, green, and teeming with life. Animals are not afraid to venture into the Ituri Plains, where they can graze and relax in relative peace.

Isoke lake
Isoke is a groundwater-fed lake, home to a thriving population of fish. The pride frequently uses this lake for fishing, relaxing, and even swimming. Having long cleared the area of crocodiles, they enjoy the safety enjoy the cool waters.

Glade forest
This forest is the most dangerous area within the pride's territory, crawling with venomous snakes and poisonous plants. The landscape is riddled with sinkholes, making it a treacherous environment. Due to these dangers, younger pride members are prohibited from entering this area without an adult.

Ngoma mountains
A lot of the pride's herbs are found from these mountains. This is a habitat for gorillas, a large troop lives here. They don’t cause much issue but there have been instances in the past.

Hunting grounds
These hunting grounds are the only area where the lions are permitted to hunt freely.. If they wish to hunt outside these boundaries, they must seek permission first.

Plant Zones
Plant zones are designated areas where the pride grow herbs in makeshift gardens. These zones are carefully protected. It provides a reliable resource for the pride to lean on. 

Their territory in Kijabi is one of the most resource-rich, rivaling that of the Zuvan, thanks to their efforts to avoid overhunting. They have access to a diverse range of food sources, a lot of other species animals live here due to the lions not being as greedy as the hyenas. The terrain becomes more mountainous as you head toward the Zuva. During the dry season, the forest provides ample shade from the heat.

Safi River
The Safi River, known for its wider size and slower current. It harbors danger due to the infestation of crocodiles and hippos.

Fehu Sea
To the west of Kijabi stretches the Fehu Sea, its presence appreciated by the local hyenas mainly for its beauty. Occasionally, curious oddities wash ashore, providing the hyenas with both meals and trinkets.

Zahnidaal Oasis
Zahnidaal Oasis serves as a refuge for many outlanders. The patches of vegetation offer shade, allowing travelers to rest and recharge.

Mzazi Mountain
Mzazi Mountain holds profound significance for the Zuvan. As the tallest peak in Kijabi, representing a sacred connection to the Mother. Climbing the mountain is an act of reverence for the Zuvan, yet there is a strict taboo against attempting the ascent at night.

Underwater Volcano
Fehu Sea lies a hidden secret: an underwater volcano silently stirs, its presence unbeknownst to the hyenas of Kijabi.

The wildebeest migration is an exhilarating time for all four clans. It marks the rare occasion when the Zuvan venture beyond their own territory, trespassing onto the lands of Nyota and Kusitawa. Wildebeest, being a less common prey, is a delectable treat for hyenas if they can catch one.

January through February is wildebeest calving season.

Drought Season (Apr–May)
As temperatures soar across Kijabi, water sources gradually dwindle. The month of May, in particular, unleashes scorching heat, often resulting in severe drought conditions. These sweltering months are notorious, heralding a perilous time when many hyenas succumb to heatstroke and dehydration.

Wet Season (Jun-Oct)
During this period, humidity levels soar, accompanied by heavy rainfall. Initially, the rain provides a welcome respite from the relentless dry heat, replenishing the dry lands of Kijabi with much-needed water. 

However, as the downpours persist, flooding becomes a concern, making travel increasingly challenging and soggy. Nonetheless, a silver lining emerges as the presence of humans diminishes significantly during this time, offering a temporary reprieve from their activities in the region.

Dry season (Nov–Mar)
With generally cooler temperatures and dry conditions prevailing, traversing the landscape becomes relatively effortless, marking the peak season for hunting. December and January emerge as prime months for hyenas to flourish, their bellies frequently satiated. However, a downside accompanies this bounty, as these months also witness an increase in the presence of hunters and other humans within the confines of Kijabi.
