In a distant land... There is a race called the Blood... Those who have a great many strange and wonderful gifts... And when one of them is Broken, in both mind and spirit, they descend into themselves... Into a dark place, a place of broken glass, of broken paths, of shadows and dark skies. There is nothing and everything there... Nothing has meaning, and yet, you can look into the fractured pieces of yourself and know what you have lost. You can look at the world you used to belong to, and know what you have lost... And yet, you do not know...
This is the Twisted Kingdom. This is the World of Shadows. A dark place of broken webs... Broken Dreams... The Blood have given Insanity a name, and you have just entered...
Welcome to the Twisted Kingdom, the Pride and Dark Playground of the King Aveshar, The Dark Song, Poisoned Fayth, and Son of Ballad And Whistle. If you think you are in the wrong place, you're probably right... Here is your King:

5. Please try to limit Errors/typos and Do not post excessive chatspeak, OOC (Please and thank you.)
6. Do not get upset at someone because of how their lion is Rping.. This is a dark pride... If you can't take it, leave... If there are truly problems between one person and another, a PM conversation with me is where we will begin...
7. Do not just post a one liner Rp. I really have to make this a rule folks, in this pride, I need posts with substance. I need to know why "Sunny" is afraid of the big-bad King.. Does he wish he was still with "Cher?"... I need to know what your lion thinks about the air smelling of heartbreak and dead dreams... What your lion feels about a pride that is in the everdark, the heart of insanity and pain.... Tell me!
More as I think of them
Laws: (From the King to his subjects)
1. That which the King claims, he Keeps...
2. You do not, EVER argue with him.. Disobey him... Or attack him... If you do so, you place yourself at the King's Justice, or shall we say, the King's Mercy... If you know your King, you know, that there is little in him.
3. Males are not welcome in the Twisted Kingdom.. If in fact they are allowed to join -by virtue of expressing some extreme skill or usefulness- they will be monitored closely.. The slightest bending or flouting of laws is enough to have them banished, or destroyed...
4. To be continued...

How to Join, Ranking List, Pride Rules
-Introduce your Lion traveling through the outer reaches of Aveshar's Kingdom. Even the lands beyond are tainted by the Twisted Kingdom, is your lion or lioness afraid? Disgusted? Are they lost? Do they feel welcome or at home in such a place? Do they want to stay? Are they haughty or wary?
I want a REALLY good post people. (Yes, the things above and below are requested marks to hit in your Entry post...)
Then have your lion reach the border of the Pride Lands, calling for the King. Are they worried about meeting such a ruler? Ask the King to join the Twisted Kingdom...
If your lion meets the standards, then they will be accepted, and you will need to pm me (~Latonia de la Courtel~) the form below. It helps if you already have a Rank decided (even if your lion is only a cub) so I get an idea of what you will be doing in the Pride and who I will still need to get... Shamans and So on..

Personality: Envious, Cunning, Affectionate
History: Was abandoned as a cub by her vile father and her mother died to save her. She ended up killing her father and his diseased mate.

Her mother makes her sick to her stomach and her father is a disgrace to all lions. The only one she relies on is her sister, Toki.
Personality: Quick-witted and fast, Diera has a hot temper. She wants to be the best at everything, and second to none. She has a vindictive and vengeful streak that can turn nasty. Even though her eyes seemed glazed over and she appears lazy, she is constantly plotting and all the more aware. She is ruthless, cunning, and strong. When Diera sets her mind to something, nothing can bring her down. She is also loyal, willing to put her life on the line for a cause.

Entering this Land was something only the weak minded, the insane, or the truly dark would do. After all, with expanses of emerald green grass stretching as far as the eye could see beyond the dark woods, who would want to travel through it to enter the valley of stone? Much less pass through the stone corridor to the Field of Shadows? No one... No one but the insane, weakminded, or truly Dark.
Aveshar knew this without a doubt. If any wondered, it was all too obvious, he was one of the Truly Dark. Their King. Pacing from the sunlit plains to a dark forest, to a corridor of ghost-grey stone, he stepped into the dark with a sigh of content.
The stone corridor was short, six or so of Aveshar's length. He paced through it, rubbing his silken side against the cool stone and smiled when it opened to a rolling field of white-grey grasses. Black shadows danced throughout the flowing blades, which were stirred by a wind that would make any 'goodhearted' lion feel dirtied, contaminated.... Stained.
A smile of wicked pleasure flowed across the black face.
He paced across the silver Field of Shadows and around the wall of trees towards his inner sanctum. What once was nothing more than a Ghostly Hollow in the heart of a Dark Landscape had been transformed. Aveshar had staked claim to this land, it sang to him. Dark Songs, Death Songs. This was his home. His true place to live, to thrive, forever in the dark.
This was the Twisted Kingdom. And now, it was his.
He gave a smile of dark pleasure, pacing back into the Hollow. Edged in the corpses of of trees, GhostTrees they were called. The wind howled through them and made moaning, hair-raising sounds. He loved it. Within the circle of trees, standing like silent sentinals, was a great stone cave.
It's mouth flowed up towards its inside at a slope. This enabled the Black King to lay on his perch of hides and see down into the hollow. Stone perches wrapped about the lower levels of the cave, providing sleeping places for Pride Members, should there ever be any.
"Home." The great male purred, and gave a roar of content.
The Twisted Kingdom Is Waiting...

Airithn crossed the darkend corridor, and a shiver ran up her once ghostly white back. This place was so unlike the heavens, and she loved it. Her pure white back had been stained after she fell from the heavens, kicked out for defending her, and her sisters, honor.
The pain that she had felt at that moment was far unlike anything she had ever felt, and over time, that pain turned to resentment, and from that resentment, grew hate. She had never hated a thing in her existance, and now, she seemed to hate more and more.
The pale grass and the dark skys called to her. Even the air seemed to hate. Who would have thought that the purest of all beings would be here...in the darkest of all places. She placed her white paws on the pale grasses, and let off a roar. Aveshar should join her soon enough. She glanced around in waiting, and took in the lands. She liked it here already.

Aveshar raised his head and shook his mane out, reluctantly pulling away from the dreams that had been beaconing to him. Pleanty of time to fight with those later... Or play...
He shrugged and shook his head, standing and listening to the whisper of the wind. Someone was here. Someone good. No.. Once good... Now.. Now she hated.
He shuddered. Oh it was too delicious. Too sweet a thought. A Guardian of Heaven walking willingly into Hell.. Offering to serve... Why had Airithn decided to join him? Aveshar thought a moment. No... He really couldn't understand it...
Well.. She was female after all. But why not bring Adalia? He shrugged and stood. Only one way to find out.
A wall of mist and fog descended upon the white lioness. She was within the Twisted Kingdom already, had been before she had even entered the Corridor of Stone. She should not have come in so far before announcing herself, but he knew her... Knew her hate. Knew her need for a new home.
She was useful. She would live. She could stay.
He appeared before her on a suddenly empty field, ignoring the shadows that never left.
"Airithn." He rumbled. Her name, yet it was an order. To tell him why she was here... What she wanted. To tell him everything...

Airithn raised her head, not the least bit afraid when the mist appeared. She knew...he was here. Why she had come here, she would understand in time. She dipped her head in a bow, before lifting it up again to speak.
"Aveshar. You know of my disdain, hate if you will, toward the heavens. I am here because of that. My sister...was to pure for this land. She is off visiting a friend. She may visit, if she feels the need. "
She took a breath, and let the dark air fill her lungs. This place...her senses were bombarded by the sweet smell of hate. Her heavenly feelings began to fade slowly. The light was leaving. And it felt amazing. The darkness...the hate she had been keeping locked in a cage, was escaping...and she was letting it. The pain, and embarissment of being banished was receding...and being replaced. The hate..was empowering. She suddenly felt like she was in control, and for the first time in her life. This dark place felt like home.
And boy..hell was lookin a whole lot better that heaven was.
Her red eyes scanned the blacked plain. Trees souls danced about about their bodys, begging her to release them. For the first time in her life, she felt nothing when looking at there souls. No pity, or sorrow. She felt like smirking at their pain. And that is exactly what she did. A Heaven's Faith..protector of the gates...had fallen to the darkness. Anf not a one could save her.

"I know Lady Airithn." He rumbled, slightly amused the fog and mist had not startled her. It was an interesting way to move about the land, but soon he would let the mist spread over the lands for awhile... A good soaking would do the silver grasses good... Would lighten his mood...
Well.. Make it as light as it ever got.
Aveshar considered her with a silent look. Whatever the Heaven's Guardians had experienced, it had turned her into something dark... Something fit for the land he lived in.
Sure enough the land did not welcome her... No, it sang to no one but him. But it found her interesting... That would be enough, for now...
"You want to stay here." He rumbled, rather interested that a denizen of heaven could change so...
The idea that her sister would be dropping out of the sky from time to time displeased him... For he would welcome no casual visitors... But he could fight that battle when it loomed before him. Two fallen angels on his paws...
He shook his head. The rage escaping from her sang trough the air and made him smile. She was comming along well... Eventually you wouldn't even be able to tell that she had come from Heaven.
Good... Who needed Heaven?
"You may stay."
